A great place to stay near Shenandoah

This is an adorable house very close to Shenandoah National Park. It was well stocked, and we enjoyed sitting out by the fire pit and watching the stars. We like this house so much we've stayed here twice, and would definitely come back!

The cottage was located on a farm with cows and donkeys grazing in the background. It was very clean and well stocked, the host thought of everything you could need. Even left us a yummy spice cake from a local bakery. Great location close to hiking, Shenandoah National Park and entrance to Skyline Drive.

What a beautiful little home! We were pleasantly surprised to find so many extras: shampoo, soap, coffee pods, creamers, yummy cookies and muffins, wood for a campfire with helpful marshmallow roasting sticks...the list goes on and on! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and look forward to staying again.

Wonderful place!

It was just what we were looking for. Our family reunion was in Massanuten Resort and we needed our own, quiet, place. Very convenient to the resort and local places. Loved the decor and would definitely reccommend this lovely home.

The Coziest Little House

Might just be the coziest place I’ve ever stayed in. It’s fairly isolated and quiet but also fairly close and conveniently located about 10 minutes away from Massanutten Resort. The owner was also very friendly and helpful. We would definitely consider staying here again!
