Spacious enough for a family to have their own spots without being disconnected. Game room was a nice touch as was outside patio.

Gorgeous property
We stayed for our annual girls trip. It was great for each of us to have our own room and big beds. The house had plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen is very well stocked with pots and pans as well as leftover spices and stuff. The drive into Shenandoah state park wasn’t too long and Luray caverns was amazing! Would definitely recommend. Communication with host was quick and easy.

Nice property
Nice house and yard. Long drive (45") into Shenandoah National Park. Not told in advance than dryer was broken. Owner had to bring Drano for one sink, no hair dryer in house. Well stocked kitchen.

Nice Property
The house was nice and listed accurately. The yard space was perfect! Good privacy and a great yard to play in after the days activities.

Mountain Vacation
We stayed Sunday-Friday and the property was very nice and secluded. The house is beautiful and the property is mostly surrounded by trees . The kitchen offers a coffee bar with a combo kerig coffee pot or pods. Nice to sit on the patio drinking your morning coffee. It was in the 90s during our stay so wasn’t able to enjoy the outdoors as much as we would have liked to but the AC worked great. There are not many restaurants locally so you need to plan some for dining. Hawksbill Diner is close but only open 6am - 2pm.. The waitress there is very friendly! If you want to try something different, the 211 Escape Room was a lot of fun. Small place but very exciting when you are playing. I have only positive things to say about the property but just a couple things to note. Check in is 4pm unless arranged prior to arrival. There are 2 king beds and 2 queens.. One queen bedroom does have a daybed. Luckily we brought sheets because 1 king bedroom off the kitchen did not have sheets. It is the most comfortable bed! Very soft. The king bed in the master is firm. We slept fine but prefer a softer mattress but not everyone does. We did not use the queen bedrooms. The game room in the garage is nice but not air conditioned. We were able to use it late at nite once the temp cooled down but still humid. They have a fire pit in the back yard with tree bench seats (no chairs). We bought cheap table clothes to cover the bench seats. Worked out nice since it rained earlier that day. We ventured out during most days to Luray. The Caverns are amazing and Skyline Drive offers amazing views of the mountains. We had a great stay and thank the owners for opening up their wonderful property to share with others. Would be even more beautiful in the fall when the leaves change.

Property is amazing but a little disappointed with management
The property is AMAZING. I would definitely go again. It’s beautiful, clean, and better than expected. My only gripe...we left a charger at the house. The management company charged $20 plus the cost of shipping to return it. Obviously I’m fine paying shipping and packaging...but $20 just to pick it up? That’s a bit much in my opinion . Otherwise we were VERY happy.

Better than expected
This property looked nice enough in the listing but was incredible in person. New pictures need to be taken ASAP. The house and surrounding grounds are beautiful and well appointed. My family and I enjoyed our stay and will be back. My only criticism: Don’t charge me a cleaning fee, and then threaten an additional cleaning fee if we don’t strip all the beds, place all linens in the laundry room and sweep and vacuum the house. What was the initial cleaning fee for?

Relaxing retreat
Quiet, secluded stone cottage located near a stream with views of the mountains. Comfortable house, plenty of room for family, and lots of yard space to play outside.

Great visit. Quiet and very peaceful. Saw a ton of deer, first was within minutes of arriving. There’s a friendly car that lives in the crawl space. HVAC works great. Would like to return.

We loved our stay. The house was great. Location worked out very well. The back patio was glorious for breakfast and an evening glass of wine. The fire pit was a great add. It was the perfect place for our vacation to see Shenandoah National Park. Could use a larger fan in the game room and maybe a new vacuum cleaner bag.

Five star place
This is a beautiful property, one of the best we have stayed at in the Shenandoah Valley area. The stone house is very modern, spacious, and clean. Lots of space to stretch out. Master bedroom has a huge, comfortable bed (tough to find in many VA rentals, IMO). There is even a well-equipped game room in the garage. The grounds really are a high point. Beautiful view of the Shenandoah Mountains, a nice fire pit, a nearby brook, and lots of green space to stroll. We continuously encountered deer and rabbits. Our dog absolutely loved it. Also only about 30 minutes from two entrances to Shenandoah National Park (Thornton Gap and Swift Run) for those interested in hiking or exploring Skyline Drive.

Better Than Advertised
We visited the area to enjoy a couple of days tubing and kayaking in the Shenandoah. The location is great, just a short drive from stores, restaurants, Luray Caverns, and the river. The house is well kept. The rear patio, fire pit, and extremely large (flat) yard were all great bonuses. We loved the house and my kids really enjoyed playing ping pong. I definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for some privacy while being a short drive from the action.

Perfect private hideaway for a weekend in the mountains
This place was fantastic for our group. The location was very convenient to grocery and all the activities we were looking for. There are several kayak rentals within 30 min and same goes for an entrance to the Shenandoah National Parks skyline drive. The house itself was cozy and provided everything we needed. The fully stocked kitchen was a huge plus since we usually bring some of our own cookware just in case a house isn’t as fully stocked as promised - this was not an issue at this place! The backyard was a great setup as well for s’mores and group games. Will definitely be back if we are looking to stay in this area again!
