Comfortable House Close To White Oak Canyon & Old Rag Trails

Old Rag Mountain Retreat is located one mile from the White Oak Canyon parking area and two miles from the lesser known parking area for the Old Rag circuit hike. This is a comfortable 3 Br/2ba house sitting on the foot of Old Rag at 1100 feet elevation.

  • Old Rag is one of the most popular hikes in the Shenandoah #NationalPark. The rock scramble makes for a very fun hike that leads to fantastic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Perfect in autumn when the leaves change colors, but of course it gets crowded on good-weather weekends.

Wonderful House in a Beautiful Area

The house was comfortable and felt remote and private yet close to many options to eat and activities. We loved it and our dog loved the yard. Would totally stay again if visiting Shenandoah again.

Great Stay

We had a wonderful time staying in the cabin, It is well off the road and private with lots of nice outside space. Just a three minute drive from the White Oak Canyon trailhead. The kitchen is well-stocked with all you could need to cook your means and the living room well-furnished for comfy evenings around the fire.

Fall weekend away

Had a wonderful stay. Spent loads of time around the fireplace, played loads of games and hiked Shenandoah. Loved the configuration of the house, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware, spices and aluminum foil which is rare for a rare but greatly appreciated!

Excellent location

The house is a perfect location for accessing Old Rag and White Oak Canyon trail. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. The family room is cozy and the kitchen table is great for meals and games. If you are sensitive to mold, this is not the right house for you. The house was musty. Black flecks of mold(?) landed on our pillows each morning during the day after we made the bed. We left a day early because we felt unwell.

Wonderful Long Weekend

My wife and I were in need of some time away from our work. This property was perfect. A quiet retreat in the woods away from the Shenandoah National Park crowds. The house was cozy and warm. The wildlife was plentiful and active. We enjoyed walks around the property, hikes up the hill, and drives around the local area. We made it over to DuCard Vineyard for some music and wine which was great. We did head up to Skyland and Big Meadows, but the crowds at all the sights were too much. We did enjoy a nice drive through the park. We hope to make it back soon.

We booked this house for our weekend getaway to Graves Mountain Apple Festival. Good location , very peaceful and quiet location. The house was very clean and had everything you could ever need especially in the kitchen. We used the gas grill and fire pit in the yard both nights . Very cozy living room! Would definitely come back!

Wedding Guests

This home was the perfect distance from our friends' wedding venue. Although we initially had a minor issue getting into the home, once inside we were pleased to find it very clean and ready for our weekend stay. The driveway getting there is a bit narrow with branches (and as promised, narrow turn around space at the top of the hill), but the yard is open and inviting.

More private than I thought it was going to be

I couldn't tell from the photos how close the house is to the road, and I was concerned that cars might make noise or runover the dog. The house is tucked back from the road on a rise over a small field, surrounded by trees on three sides. The road was not problem at all. You couldn't see it or hear it. The fire pit has nice Adirondack chairs around it.
