Great remote getaway
This place is wonderful. The hot tub, wood burning stove, fire pits are all just as stated and shown in pictures. Everything is clean. Beds are comfy and kitchen is well stocked. Bathrooms are updated. Master Bath is beautiful. The location is great for winery tours and hiking. If you enjoy shopping or nightlife, this would not be a good choice. We thought it was heaven. Just a warning that if you are older or have mobility issues, the stairs are narrow and all bedrooms are upstairs. We didn’t have any issues but it’s an older home so the stairs could be a challenge for some. Also, try to arrive before dark, especially if it’s rainy or foggy. It can be a challenge to find in a dark rainy night. Waze took us right to it but the turn into the driveway is easy to miss under those conditions. We would definitely stay here again.

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!

Great private home in the mountains
My friend and I met at this property halfway in between our homes for a long weekend. It was remote, extremely clean and close to so many options for hiking, shopping, wineries and eateries. The host was fantastic with an early check in and helpful suggestions for places to go and things to do. The deck is full sun, so if going in the winter, you will have to wait until early evening, but its so peaceful!

Great stay
Wonderful stay in a great, comfortable house. The morning sunrise from the back deck was beautiful. The house was convenient to restaurants in Front Royal, hiking in Sky Meadows and Shenandoah River State Park and the northernmost entrance of Skyline Drive. The gravel road to the house was steeper than expected, but not a problem with AWD. Would definitely stay again next time we're in the area.

Fantastic retreat
The home was perfect… kitchen is really well stocked with dishes and utensils etc. Very nice decor too. Just a few items to note- there were no washcloths and the kitchen garbage can fills up quickly so we had a lot of bags accumulated in the laundry room since there are no outside containers, due to wildlife around! Definitely recommend this home!

Cozy cabin great for friends retreat
The cabin is really adorable and so cozy! It’s only 10 minutes from the Shenandoah park entrance and so many cute shops and restaurants. There’s also two wineries within a 5 minute drive. The host was great and very responsive and even recommended some really good restaurants for our stay. We stayed in March so it was perfect hot tub weather and the hot tub was very clean and well maintained. Overall, a great property. The only downside was a lack of what I’d call “basics” like washcloths, extra toilet paper, and paper towels, but you can easily pick those up because you’ll want to do a grocery run beforehand. There were lots of towels so no issue there. Overall a great stay!

Clean/Modern Interior-Well Equipped Kitchen= Great Stay
Great place to gather with friends for a quick weekend getaway. We really enjoyed the location close to Front Royal and the wineries we visited. The kitchen is well equipped and included coffees/teas for our enjoyment. We enjoyed the use of the fireplace with wood provided. The beds/bedding were very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were updated and hand/bath towels were provided, however, we only had one wash cloth provided. We were not able to use the hot tub as they had just drained, cleaned and refilled it with water so it didn't get back up to temperature while we were there. Overall a great place.
