Hi, I’m Vivian! I have called the DMV area home since I was young. I’ve been visiting Shenandoah National Park for years, so it’s been especially meaningful to create something here. I currently work in real estate and have always had an interest in hospitality. I love to travel and am inspired by great design and food from around the world, and I’ve brought those influences into this space to create a stay that feels thoughtful, comfortable, and connected to nature. I hope you enjoy it.
