Adorable Cabin at Trout-Stocked Paddy Run Surrounded by GWNF and Hiking Trails

Welcome to the Chester at Half Moon. The name honors our father who provided the privilege of sharing this land and aptly describes the face of Half Moon Mountain seen from the property. Check out our reviews at our companion cabin (an adjoining tract) at the Dudley at Half Moon, or, enjoy both properties for multi-family vacations!

This updated two story modest cabin is perfect for your getaway! The cabin features an open floor plan and is perfect for a couple's romantic weekend, a group of friends, or for family gatherings! The 17 acre grounds offer you plenty of space to unplug and enjoy a cabin version of "glamping".

Our Vision:

Stop at Strasburg Food Lion or Woodbine Farm Market for groceries on the way in and cook nice dinners in a fully equipped kitchen. We provide spices and some condiments so you don't have to. Enjoy dinner on the covered front porch. Make homemade pasta with the pasta maker. Or unwind with a glass of wine (a complimentary bottle is provided) on the spacious front porch.

The next morning, relax with french press coffee or expresso (we provide!) on the front porch at sun up and watch the deer graze after a sound night of sleep in our comfortable and luxurious beds. You'll never get a better night's sleep. Or walk the property as the sun is coming up - it truly is stunning.

Put dinner in the crockpot and spend the day at a local winery or enjoy hiking on the trail just outside the door. Vance's Cove is a short walk away. Paddy Gap (a stocked trout stream - please check the VDWR website) runs through the property - bring fish home for dinner on the grill. Visit Shenandoah National Park or the Archery Camp not far away.

After dinner, lie around in the evening in our fully reclining seating to watch movies or play games. Sling TV allows access to a full selection of channels and to keep up with the world - although you won't want to. An air hockey table and dart board provides hours of fun for the competitive. Or settle in with a good read from our stocked book case.

Take a walk for a gorgeous view of Half Moon; first thing in the morning with fog rolling off the fields (coffee in hand) is the MOST spectacular.

Nature and wildlife are all around. Listen to the whippoorwills call at night, or view the brightly lit stars. Eagles, hawks and bluebirds to name a few. Fishers (a mustelid mammal) and turkeys add to the list of wildlife not seen in the city!

The water sometimes (rarely) has a sulfuric smell and although treated, we personally prefer not to drink for coffee, drinking, etc.... Please be prepared to bring water and paper products you will need - we do share what we have but only in base amounts. Alternately, feel free to leave yours behind.

Please know we are a family who enjoys sharing our property with you and ask you return the property to us in the same condition as it was provided. We ask you remove your own garbage. Because this ask has not always been respected, we do ask for a trash removal fee if you do not. We also ask to please do not bring pets or invite additional guests, if not included in the reservation. Due to the remote location, we do have a security device on the front exterior of the home to monitor the driveways.

The property is gorgeous and quiet so allow the stresses of the city to fall away. You will hate to leave and want to return soon - just 1 hour from Northern Virginia!
