I highly recommend The Wayfarer in Woodstock, VA. The house is excellent for a large group and is pet-friendly. Seth is a fantastic communicator and prompt in responding to any inquiries we had. Location- The Wayfarer is about 500' from the Hollingsworth (south) entrance to Seven Bends State Park and a great "home base" if you are exploring the Shenandoah Valley. A 30-45 minute drive in almost any direction will get you to tons of places; Winchester (north), JMU (south), Luray, Massanutten, West Virginia and many other small towns. Those locations have caverns, wineries, breweries, museums, hiking, and many other activities and all very accessible from The Wayfarer.House- The open floor plan is perfect for everyone to have a central space to hang out, eat, play games or relax. The basement is complete with 2 arcade games and a washroom. All three bedrooms have king size beds, the basement sleeps 4, and there is a neat daybed area halfway up the stairs that we used as a reading nook. The upstairs rooms have independent HVAC units so it is always the perfect temperature. We never used the fire pit, but it is a nice outside area with fire wood provided.Overall, I cannot recommend staying here enough. You'll really enjoy it and the scenery is unbeatable.
