We stayed at the property over Thanksgiving and the following weekend with the goal of making a traditional holiday meal, spending time with family, and visiting Shenandoah National Park. The house and location fit our plans perfectly, serving as an ideal midpoint for three different households. The home was comfortable, well-equipped, and in a great setting. Doug was easy to communicate with throughout. We would gladly stay here again and would recommend it to others.

I chose this house because of its location -- very close to my parents's house -- as I and extended family were gathering for a funeral. We did not have time to take advantage of the many activities nearby, but we did enjoy the views. This house was very comfortable. It is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into the amenities as we could not think of one thing lacking. The kitchen is certainly one of more well stocked kitchens I have ever seen. We will be back, hopefully for longer and a more joyous occasion.

Awesome place for a getaway with friends or family!

My friends and I had a great time staying at this house. There are plenty of spaces for everyone to gather together but also for folks to break off it they want to read a book, take care of some work, or play games. We enjoyed the ping pong table and the fire pit. The kitchen had all the tools and dishes we needed to cook several meals - probably the best-stocked kitchen I've ever seen for a rental property. Doug made everything easy and replied quickly to any questions we had. I highly recommend staying here!

Fantastic House for a Family Gathering

Our family gathered in Virginia for a family wedding. The family members staying in this house ranged from 9 months old to 90 years old. This house suited everyone’s needs. It was very clean, well-stocked with anything we might need from kitchen supplies to laundry supplies to games and puzzles. I appreciate your little touches as well such as outlet safety covers. The view from the front and back of the house was spectacular. We all agreed that it was an amazing house.

Great house for visiting SNP

The house was great for our large party (ages 4-60s). It was in a great location for exploring SNP and visiting wineries and historical sites. There was plenty of room to spread out and we enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the covered back deck. Doug was great at communicating, would definitely recommend the home!

Thanksgiving

The house was just as pictured, clean and spacious, and yet cozy. Very well-stocked in the kitchen with plenty of plates, utensils, and cooking or baking needs. Beds comfortable. We all had a lovely time. Took a few hikes, and visited a few places, but mostly enjoyed hanging out with each other. Doug was very gracious and easy to communicate with.

We stayed in this beautiful home over labor day weekend. The house is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and well maintained. It had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and looking out at the mountains. Apart from one night ordering pizza from the local pizza place, we cooked our meals at home in this well stocked kitchen. We also enjoyed making smores in the firepit. Overall, one our our absolute favorite vacations.
