Our home sits on 43 acres and has 77 windows for you to witness the breathtaking views of the Shenandoah Valley, enjoy the expansive view of Massanutten, the Shenandoah River and the Blue Ridge Mountains! The yard is equipped with a gunite pool and hot tub* plus horses and cows grazing in the pasture. There are four levels of living space - the main floor, 2nd floor, walk out finished basement and a beautiful open staircase that leads to the huge attic that can sleep extra! Our home has 5 Bedrooms, 3.5 bath, Large Kitchen with 48” Viking stove, Dining area, Large Den w/ Gorgeous Stone Fire Place, Parlor with a Piano & 5 porches! The first floor and basement have 10' ceilings and the 2nd floor has 9' ceilings. We moved to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and built this home to raise our children. We designed it so that all of our family and friends could come and visit any time and stay with us. It's such a peaceful, private place to take in the beautiful scenery and spend time with your family & friends. The spacious living areas give you space to gather all together or find a quiet room to read a book and relax. The outdoors come to life here while walking down the country road behind our home along the Shenandoah River or the country road in front of our home viewing the mountains and pastures. You can relax by the pool and hot tub or sit out on one of our 5 porches/decks. Wherever you sit or look there is an abundance of beauty. We love to watch the moon come over the mountains or the sun set behind them. Every day is a different picture to see - the foliage in the fall, the clouds against the mountains, the stars like you've never seen them before but best of all the laughter and joy when family and friends are gathered! Anyone who visits or stays can't wait to come back. We have been told it's like a slice of heaven, a retreat, a place you never want to leave. It is conveniently located to everything!

Amazing house for our wedding weekend celebration! Mary Beth was so welcoming to let us have friends and family for a gathering before our special day . The property is spacious and the scenery could not be beat! All our friends were so impressed with the property!
Amazing panoramic views of Shenandoah Mountains, house was very spacious and comfortable, pool and outdoor facilities were top notch. A rare gem that I would stay at again.
We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful house, which is even better than in the photographs. The kitchen and eating area with large raised porch off the back with incredible views was perfect. All of the bedrooms were large and comfortable. The house was clean. The pool and hottub were a special treat. Already looking forward to coming back soon. Note the house is very close to the ski area Massanutten which we enjoyed (hiking/waterpark etc)
Wonderful place for a family reunion. LOTS of space, well laid out, lovely pool, GREAT views (even fireworks for the 4th). Ages 2 months to 94 years found this home perfect for our stay. Lots to do nearby. Immediate responses to our needs. Don't look anywhere else - just book it!
The house was plenty big for the 18 of us. Room to spread out and enjoy family time together. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bedrooms were great for each family.
We had almost 20 people at the house and there was plenty of room for sleeping, eating and enjoying the view. The pool and hot tub were amazing, the kitchen had everything we needed and they even left us a bundle of wood for the fire pit. I wish we could have stayed longer.
Our large family had a great wekeend stay, celebrating our Christmas! We have done numerous vacations all over and this was our favorite, by far. Huge house, with plenty of rooms to sleep, bathrooms, 360 degree views. We are considering our summer trip here, especially with the pool. here Book
We had a wonderful time at the house. It was beautiful, spacious, well equipped and very clean. Loved the views and grounds with animals. Such a relaxing location! Would definitely return and recommend to others.
Our second time staying at this beautiful home with three other families--and it was just as enjoyable as the first. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together in this home and the idyllic location--just a short drive to Shenandoah National Park (Swift Run Entrance)--makes it perfect. We can't wait to return.
Loved the 360 panoramic view. Pool and hot tub pristine. Great house for large families. Host and property manager are wonderful. Bonus…we had front row seats to neighbor’s 4th of July fireworks display
Great house, big enough for extended family, the views are to die for, horses out the back yard, great kitchen for cooking for a big family, perfect place to stay for our daughter’s graduation weekend from JMU. The host was great to communicate with and the house manager was available for any of our needs during our stay. Highly recommend!!
There were 11 of us who stayed in the home and we all had our own beds which was nice! The view was beautiful and the pool and hot tub were also very nice! We loved that we could all fit at the table for meals and fit in the family room to play games and watch movies. We wanted a very low key weekend and that is exactly what we got!
Beautifully situated on land with horses, cattle with the mountains in the distance. A winery was 6 minutes away…this was a spacious, lovely HOME. I felt invited in, I would come again. The owner as well as the property manager were wonderful about any communication we needed to have as well. Loved it!
Incredibly comfortable and spacious home, large rooms, kichen easily fed 20. Loved the pool, hot tub and gorgeous views. Top tier rental in every way. Host very responsive.
The most outstanding feature of this property is the view of mountains, valleys and beautiful rural scenes. The house is large with room for more than our 8 adults and 4 tweenagers.
This was our second year back to this property. It was beautiful, especially during the peak fall foliage. The house was clean and there were tons of sleeping options on all floors of the house. The property owner had great communication throughout the visit. Great common areas for friends to catch up. We hope to come back next year!
What better month to see the leaves changing! Great views and the horses and longhorns were an added bonus!
Plenty of room for our family to meet and celebrate!
There were 20 of us!
Wonderful location overlooking rolling fsrmland. The house had lots of bedrooms and spaces for multiple couples and lots of kids. Kitchen and gathering areas large enoigh for the entire group to cook,eat or chat iver coffee. Close to restaurants. Would like to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the pool and outdoor spaces.
We had 16 people in our group. The youngest was 12 yo. We had enough space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable and enough space for us to all gather for meals and games. We enjoyed the mountain views and watching the horses. The house could use a decor refresh but overall it was a great stay!
We were a group of 4 families with kids ages ranging from 3-10. We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Sometimes the water pressure in the bathrooms gets low due to multiple people showering together at the same time in different bathrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, outdoor barbecue range, pool and hot tub are all well taken off and we enjoyed our stay here.
