We had an awesome stay at this property. The home & property were lovely & the description was just as advertised. Some of the features we like the best were the kitchen and how well stocked it was, the A/C working very well in the 90 degree heat, the dog friendly fenced in back yard, and the comfort of all the beds. We also appreciated the fact that our hosts communicated very well and provided many nice touches to make sure we enjoyed our stay! We were in town for a wedding at The Market at Grelen & this property was perfect for that if you have a larger family or several couples. We also enjoyed some of the very dog friendly breweries and vineyards in the area.

The house was lovely. Very spacious and bright. It was perfect for a weekend stay for an in town wedding. There were plenty of items in the kitchen in well marked drawers. The house was very clean. A nice airy porch to sit, relax, and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The house was exactly as advertised. The yard was well kept with beautiful old trees providing just the right amount of shade. Hosts communicate everything one needs to know in a very clear and concise manner. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home with everything we needed

We stayed at Maple Crest on short notice due to an emergent situation in our neighborhood. John and Gabi were very accommodating and our stay was everything we wanted and needed. The sheets were the softest I’ve ever slept on and the kitchen was the most well supplied I’ve ever seen. Thank you for having us and our dog!

This is a great house! Clean, comfortable and centrally located. We enjoyed many historic sites in Virginia, wineries, and even drove into DC. All day long trips, and this was such a welcome house and property to return to! The owners are so kind and responsive. If ever in the area again, we would definitely return.

Beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean farmhouse in the countryside.

The home was stunning - so much natural light and lovely views. As far as VRBO rentals we have had, this is by far the cleanest with everything anyone will need for their home away from home. No issues whatsoever. Enjoyed our stay and would like to come back for a longer visit one day.

Beautiful home in a delightful setting

Lovely place to stay while attending UVA graduation events. Gorgeous, well-appointed house with beautifully-landscaped, spacious yard and even a large fenced-in portion for our little dogs to roam in. Wish we had time to have cooked a meal or two in the kitchen, but I hope to come back again with friends for a wine and antiques weekend. The charming town of Orange is just a few miles away, and there are lots of wineries all around. Thank you to the hosts for sharing your lovely home with us.

We would give this house 10 stars if we could! Everything about our stay was truly impeccable. From the moment we walked through the door, the house felt like a home, not just a rental. Owners John and Gaby (who we had the chance to meet at the Montpelier Hunt Races - they are lovely) have thought of every detail, from the careful labeling which took all of the guesswork out of finding which light switch to use or which drawer contained which utensil, to the thoughtful and tasteful design. The mattress was so comfortable we actually took a photo of the label. A great home in a great location. We cannot recommend this place more highly (and we have stayed at a lot of rentals both in the Shenandoah Valley and worldwide). We will definitely plan to stay here again in the future and will recommend it widely.
