We had such a great weekend at the Pistachio Nut! The home is so cozy and beautifully maintained. The hosts were welcoming and available and had truly thought of everything to make our stay seamless. They provided everything we needed, from cold bottled water to fun games, a well-stocked kitchen, and comfy beds. The house was so easy to navigate: uncluttered and well labeled. We are really hoping to return sometime in the future!

Great Weekend Stay!

We had a wonderful long weekend at the Pistachio Nut. The owner Mike lives next door and is very helpful and can answer any questions you have about the house or surrounding Area. He was able to make some great diner suggestions to celebrate my MIL birthday. The arcade was a hit and has all the classics- my son was in heaven. The home has so many special touches and is very clean and you can tell they have put a lot of time and love into making sure you have everything you need. The kitchen is equipped with all you could need and even had bottle water, seasonings and coffee for us to use. The bathrooms were stocked with items you may have forgotten which was so nice! We felt so at home and can’t wait to return.
Deers came to say hello each morning
The grill was a great touch with a nice deck to dine on.
Arcade was amazing!
Hours spent battling on Ms Packman

Loved our stay at The Pistachio Nut

Had a great experience staying at The Pistachio Nut. Mike, the owner, was friendly and easy to communicate with. I had a couple questions before our trip, and they were answered very timely. The house itself was very nice. Clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. Loved the arcade room. We were there for a JMU graduation, and it was an easy distance to campus. Highly recommend!

Wonderful property!

Loved our stay! Renovations to this property are great.lived the amazing game room. Fireplace was amazing. Owners stock this house with almost everything you need. Spices, baggies, coffee, hot chocolate and some bottled water in the fridge. Soap in both bathrooms. Towels and linens were top notch.check the linen closet across from downstairs bath for hair dryer. Bring your laundry win shampoo. Had an issue with downstairs shower but owner was on it immediately! Upstairs shower is like a European shower which isn’t great for short people who don’t want to get their hair wet but we would absolutely stay here again.

Great stay!

We had the best time at the pistachio nut. This was probably one of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed at. Beds were comfy, kitchen was fully stocked and the arcade was a blast. The property manager did meet us and gave us a tour before heading off. It was actually very nice and he was an extremely pleasant individual. We will definitely be back next year!
