Liked: Check-in, communication, location
We stayed for 3 nights for a Thanksgiving get away. Enjoyed the change of scenery. Property was located near Front Royal and Shenandoah National Park.
This was the perfect spot for friends to gather for a cozy, fall weekend! Great proximity to Skyline Drive and nearby trails. The home was spacious and the host instructions were clear and thorough. Would gladly recommend!
We had a great stay! Comfy beds and close to everything we had planned. The house is on a quiet street with a great deck with a view of the mountains. Our host was proactive with communications very responsive to any questions we had. We would stay here again.
This was a great place to stay! It had everything we needed after a long and fun day of activities from the fire pit to the hot tub. The property manager was fantastic and also gave us some great recommendations. Thanks so much for letting us stay in your home!
My husband and I stayed in this home for our annual anniversary trip. We love hiking and brought our dog with us for some active relaxation. This home was one of the best we have stayed in. It had everything we needed, and was clean and comfortable. Conveniently located about 15 minutes from Front Royal where there was plenty to do; yet also steps away from a trail in the neighborhood, which intersects with the AT. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Our family loved this property. The woodsy property lines made it feel more secluded and the homeowner was very helpful offering restaurant and hike options! I loved the hummingbirds in the trees out front!

Beautiful mountain home
We really enjoyed the large deck, hot tub and fire pit. The house had plenty of room to relax in and enjoy a family getaway.
We stayed at the house for four nights. It was so lovely, especially sitting out on the back deck. Everything was exactly as presented and we were very comfortable there. No complaints, we would happily stay there again!
Owner responsive and helpful during stay. Great location. The deck was a great place to relax after hiking

Wonderful Spot Near the SNP
This home is great location if you are interested in hiking in the SNP. It had everything we needed for a wonderful and relaxing weekend! There were a lot of added extras from the owner and the kitchen had everything we needed in order to have relaxing breakfasts and lunches at home!
Quiet peaceful neighborhood. House is clean and spacious. Enjoyed relaxing on the deck, birdwatching, and admiring the Mountain View.

Great Getaway
Loved the home…very well stocked (except for washcloths). Nice decor and serene setting…would definitely recommend this home for a family stay and pet friendly too!
The owner communicated well and was very responsive. The fireplace stove was great and we used the hot tub every day. Kitchen was well stocked. We cooked almost every meal and had everything we needed. The office space is a nice, private, comfortable space, as well.
All the comforts of home and the beauty of a rustic setting.

Great stay!
The pictures of the inside of the house are very accurate. It’s a beautiful home. The owner was very nice and helpful. Close to the Front Royal entrance of Shenandoah NP, wineries and the Skyline Caverns. Be sure to check out downtown/Main Street of Front Royal.
The house was in a great spot that abuts SNP, with a great hike right from the house (Compton peak). The house was nicely furnished and had the little things that can be forgotten on a trip. The hot tube was nice after a day of hiking!

Shenandoah Skyline Trip
We rented the Chester Gap house for our Shenandoah Skyline Drive Trip this June and it fit our needs perfectly. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking our breakfast and dinners and we were able to dine on the back deck. We had outdoor fires in both the backyard fire ring and the front solo stove. The fenced in deck was perfect to contain our dogs. The host welcomed us immediately via text message and any questions were answered quickly. Even though it was just my husband and myself, this house can accommodate a large family.
Love the house so much wanted to stay an extra night, great comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, the house and the deck was just wonderful. I give it a five star excellent excellent place to stay. Just make sure you have a good Subaru vehicle to hike up the hill.... Would love to stay here again....
A newly updated property with great amenities and privacy. Very close to the Appalachian Trail and the national park, downtown Front Royal, winetasting and more. The owner was very responsive to questions. A great spot. Highly recommend.
