Great views and privacy.

This was our second stay here - this time in spring, so enjoyed trees leafing out, Purple Violets, Virginia bluebells and other wildflowers along the river - while it was snowing at home.

Perfect & Private Valley Location

My wife and I spent 3 nights to explore the central Shenandoah Valley. This house has everything needed for a comfortable stay/ Close to several battlefields of T. J. Jackson's Valley Campaign. Bad weather on the second full day negated a planned visit to the South Fork of the Shenandoah River (on the property), but we will not miss it on our next trip. We really enjoyed our stay; just wish we could have stayed longer.

Quiet Escape

It was good to get out of the city and have a place to star gaze and watch the wildlife that is also close to Massanutten Resort. Would definitely stay again.
