About the area
Syria
Located in Syria, this holiday home is in a rural area and on a river. DuCard Vineyards and Blue Quartz Winery are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Jordan Hollow Stables and Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gary Beidler
We live full time in Florida, but we have been visiting Virginia at least yearly for over 45 years. So when this property became available 16 years ago, we fell in love with it and bought it. Since I retired in 2022, we have been to Virginia 6-7 times a year.
Why they chose this property
Because ORMR is so close to Shenandoah National Park, we see a lot of wildlife. Deer sightings are a daily things. We haven't seen bears since one destroyed our bird feeder. Turkey and foxes are pretty common sightings. Because of the elevation, it is usually five degrees cooler than in Madison, or even the bottom land of Syria.
What makes this property unique
I think we are most different from the rentals around us is the house size. Not counting the basement or porches, the house is about 2300 sq ft. The most positive comments we get are about the upstairs master bedroom and bath. My favorite room is the screen porch. Many comment on how quiet it is. Just resting on the porch with ice tea in hand is what I enjoy most.
