Great house next to farms and Shenandoah National Park

This property was exactly as advertised and provided the perfect retreat after a long day of hiking in Shenandoah National Park. The location is fantastic, and we truly enjoyed our stay. We’ll definitely be returning!

Fantastic house for our 3 generation family with our dog. Loved the decor, the luxury linens, comfy beds. Enjoyed the sparkling clean hot tub. Had deer in the yard and our 3 year old loved the cows and the swings and hammock.

Family vacay

We stayed here on a 4 day vacation with our adult children and our grandson. The home was in a nice location and the property was clean and comfortable. The host had provided many extras that we hadnt expected so we had everything we needed and more. The hot tub was clean and hot and the firepit was a great place to reconnect. If traveling in this area we would definitely stay here again and recommend for families.

Very nice place in a great mountain spot. Clean, nice hosts. Only quibble is that the kitchen doesn't have much beyond the basics. No Tupperware, aluminum foil, etc.

Beautiful sunset views!

Excellent stay, beautiful sunset views from hot tub. We had a wonderful time making s’mores in the fire pit. The house had plenty of space for six adults and two babies. Lots of toys for the lil ones and pack play was super helpful. Very close to Luray and fort valley ranch for horseback rides. The host was super responsive, thank you!

Loved this home!

This home surpassed our expectations. It was very clean, well-stocked and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub. When we communicated with the host she was very quick to respond and address any requests. The property was about 10 mins from Luray and about 18 mins from the national park so it was far enough in the country to be secluded but close to amenities. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting this area!

I loved the decor and feel of the house and the hot tub after a day of exploring and hiking. We'll be back! on one small issue,

Perfect place in the country

If you’re looking for a nice quiet place to relax that’s pet friendly, this is it. We spent four days hiking in the local area and each evening made a fire in the fire pit. The place was very very clean. Our dog loved being outside with us in the afternoons while we relaxed after a day of hiking. It really was the perfect place for us. Cows in the field in the back and deer that came around every afternoon Pretty pastoral, quiet setting. .

This place was PERFECT for what we needed. Spacious, comfortable, easy to navigate. From the house we saw deer, cows, birds, and a cat - and no neighbors (though I'm sure they are all very nice). We didn't spend a ton of time in the house, since our stay revolved around hiking in Shenandoah Nat'l Park. From the house to the Thornton Gap Entrance Station, the drive was a picturesque 15 minutes. When we got back from a long day of hiking in the mountains, this house was exactly the kind of respite we needed. We were comfortable, everything was exactly as promised/described, and the host was exceptionally responsive to any questions we (overplanners) had. If we were to visit Shenandoah again - and I truly hope we do - we will be re-booking here. It was fantastic.

Lovely property with quiet, wraparound deck from which to enjoy the wildlife. Lots of birds, deer, and bunny rabbits as well as the cows that came to the fence in the afternoons. We enjoyed the fire pit and JJ filled up the wood pile for us more than we expected! We were looking forward to enjoying the very clean hot tub, but the weather did not cooperate - next time! We were close enough to Shenandoah to hike several days and we explored Luray Caverns one day, so the location is ideal. The only thing to be aware of is that there is a chicken farm by the main road; it is not visible from the house but the smell did waft in and out at times and there is a mechanical humming sound from the farm - we did not find it obtrusive, as I spent as much time as possible on the porch. Overall, we found our stay very relaxing and enjoyable, and we would return in the future!

The house is accurate to the pictures and was comfortable for our group, particularly enjoyed the grill and the hot tub. The property is lovely and a short drive to Luray and walking trails. We had an issue with the communication with the property manager, which meant a few probems we signaled via VRBO upon arrival were not resolved. That was frustrating. But the manager was very apologetic post-visit, so probably not an issue moving forward.
