This home has everything a family or group of friends would need to enjoy their time in Front Royal. Having stayed in many short-term rental properties in the area for quite a few years, this one stands out as the best in terms of quality of the home and appointments, location, and cost. Joy and Patrick even went to the extent of decorating the home for Christmas (including a full-height tree) for our stay over the holidays. I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again.

The property was exactly as advertised but better. Patrick and Joy thought of everything! We really enjoyed the fire pit and the huge table that fit all of us. Parking was ample as our group had five cars (sometimes six or seven). VERY comfortable beds and we even managed to juggle seven people in two baths. All in all, the best B&B Iā€™ve ever stayed in.

Loved the house, plenty of room for the family. Loved having family dinners at the giant dining room table. Had out of state family visiting VA who wanted to see DC and the Shenandoah Valley so the location worked out great. I would definitely rent the house again.
