This tiny, off the grid house is well appointed, the air conditioner worked great (although I only needed it the first night), and the bed was firm and super comfy. Read the directions carefully. If you think you are lost because you are driving through the middle of a cornfield, don’t worry. You’re not. Just keep going. This house is literally in the middle of a cow field and I loved waking up to them grazing just past the fence each morning. Make sure you read the instructions for the composting toilet. It’s not hard. It’s just different than you may be used to. I didn’t use the TV, microwave, or stove because i spent my days at JMU. Even though it’s about 30 minutes from the university, it’s an easy drive and there is a Starbucks just before you get on the highway.

Great weekend away

The property is in the Shenandoah valley with great views of the mountains. It's a nice solar-powered cabin with everything you need for a stay- grill, small fridge, 2 burner stove, microwave, and wifi. Plenty of chairs for outdoor seating. The owner was very communicative and helpful. I had no issues with the stay and highly recommend staying here for a hiking weekend or to get out of town and enjoy some quiet time. I look forward to staying here again!

Quiet and Peaceful

What a beautiful place for a quiet getaway! My husband is a fly fisherman and the quick path to the river was easy to navigate. The cabin is cozy and has everything you could need.
