Clean and comfy close to JMU
This was a perfect property to stay and visit our JMU daughter. The house is so clean and had all the kitchen items to be able to make her some home cooked meals. We enjoyed watching final four games on the huge tv. We loved this property and will absolutely be back!

This was an excellent find
Everything about this house was comfortable and useful, including the location. It was just outside of town and so there was no issue with parking. The kitchen was well stocked. Shopping and restaurants were close by. The backroom was a great place for us tot sit back and watch our ballgames between events. I would stay here again.

Cute weekend getaway
My family of 4 stayed at the farmhouse for a long weekend. Great place. Clean, spacious and great location. Very close to downtown Harrisonburg but still giving you some space. Easy to get to local hiking spots as well. Loved the family room for movie nights and family games. Would definitely here again. The water had an unusual smell and taste so we ended up using bottled water

Great spot for a quick trip
Everything was clean and the hosts were very communicative and helpful! One thing to note is there is not a dishwasher- no problem for our two night stay while we were having most meals out with family, but something to be aware of for longer stays. Blocks, s’mores, and bunk beds were all a big hit with our kids!

Family weekend
My family really enjoyed our stay here. We attended the football game at JMU and it was nice to come back after the game and dinner and just chill out together at the fire pit. Only issue we had was the shower head broke off in the morning and was promptly fixed and replaced when I contacted the property manager. We would definitely stay here again as it was close to JMU and downtown Harrisonburg. Bonus that we could bring our dog too.
