Absolutely awesome location. Had everything we needed and the backyard right on the river with the fire pit was a huge bonus. They provided all the wood needed to have the best fires. Incredible and relaxing. A stone through from so many awesome Shenandoah National forest trails too. Great access to gas/groceries less than 3miles away of need. This place is a lovely gem!!! Truly lovely

Great place to stay for a family reunion
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Check in was a breeze! Nice old farmhouse with modern feel. Kitchen is well stocked! We had a couple of issues with furniture and ac units on the second floor not cooling well but maintenance came out and responded within an hour. Just a note if you’re staying in the summer. A/C for the second floor is window units in the hallway. They cool the two beds fine if you leave all the doors open. Good for a whole family but if you’re looking for two private bedrooms you won’t have them with A/C. First floor and basement beds are good, cooled with central unit. Lots of kayaks and floats for the river. Hot tub is new, but barely fit four adults, take a number.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Nov 2020
I’ve stayed at many properties and this is the first time I left early and felt negative about the property and owners. As per the owner’s request, I sent a very detailed email with our experience and issues and the owner only directly addressed a few items basically dismissing my concerns as having ridiculous standards. We left early because the backyard was not as pictured and was not safe for my 5 and 2 year olds. I now see another reviewer said the same thing and I wish I had seen it earlier. There is a steep drop to the river and the one walking area is also steep and slippery. I didn’t find the cleanliness level to be anywhere near where it should be given the price, the cleaning fee and the fact that we are in the middle of a global pandemic. When I complained that there was poop floating in dirty water in the toilet brush holder (no brush inside) for all to see I was asked what I was expecting since it’s a toilet brush. I was expecting it to be clean - just like every one I’ve ever used at any property including my own. A couple pillows were terribly stained and some towels had large holes. Again, things I don’t expect when paying this price for a property. The owner makes a point of telling you how many towels you get so when we had half that I let her know so we wouldn’t be accused of taking any and she replied that what I was given was a sufficient amount for my family. The whole response was rather cold and uncaring. The house itself is fine but for the money you pay, it should be above that. I’d rather give my hard earned money to people that go above and beyond to make people feel at home on their property instead of being treated like my concerns are a bother and being left to feel like I got taken advantage of.
