Anniversary trip to Shenandoah

We visit a national park every anniversary and stay at a cabin with a hot tub and a view. This one was VERY nice and had the little details you see at a 4+star hotel from folded towels, bath robes, and good coffee. This cabin is just 15 min away from skyline drive and the furnished kitchen meant we didn’t need to eat out (we love to cook). Highly recommend to couples who love each other’s company and love to escape to the quiet of mountains. Also would recommend seeing Luray caverns of you have any bad weather days.

Birthday Get Away

My girlfriend and I enjoyed the privacy and coziness of the cabin immensely. We toured Luray Caverns, Monticello, Montpelier and the Meem's Covered Bridge. I would definitely recommend going to the Bridge. The Hostess was very accommodating about any of our concerns, and that was greatly appreciated. Great Place.

Relaxing Weekend in Beautiful Cabin!

This cabin had everything needed for a restful weekend. We enjoyed the hot tub on the covered deck (even in the rain), the fireplace, the incredibly comfortable king bed, and the peacefulness of the wooded area! Hope to stay again very soon.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly McGrory

We are Kelly, William and Trex. We live in Southeast Pennsylvania where we work as a speech therapist, tech support manager, and faithful pooch. We love the outdoors, and have a great appreciation for nature. We love to share the peace, tranquility, and romance of our cabin in the Shenandoah area. We hope you enjoy it and make happy memories for yourselves. Happy Trails, Kelly and William (and Trex too!)

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase this property, with hopes that we would relocate to the Charlottesville, VA area for its outdoor lifestyle. Our jobs keep us in Pennsylvania, but we enjoy 6-7 trips to Romance Ridge per year to take in the beauty and serenity of the mountains and hike the trails in the Shenandoah National Park.

What makes this property unique

Romance Ridge is located at the doorstep of the Shenandoah National Park, and is equidistant between University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and James Madison University in Harrisonburg. With two ski resorts close by at Masannutten and Wintergreen, it's not easy to choose! Luray Caverns is an easy day trip. There are numerous, breweries and vineyards in the area, along with antique shoppes, wildlife management areas, and country roads to explore and take in the undeveloped scenery. The Shenandoah Valley is rich with history, from Civil War trails to James Madison's Monticello, James Monroe's Ash Lawn, and James Madison's Montpelier. No matter your destination, we are sure you will enjoy the peace, solitude, and serenity of the cabin itself. Enjoy your stay!
