    My family and some friends stayed for a long weekend and enjoyed every minute of our trip. The home was well stocked and rooms were very well kept. The back deck was the highlight of the home with amazing views and the hot tub. The location was great for a quick drive to Shenandoah national park the winery right next door!

    We had a great stay! The house worked great for our family of four + three guests for a week’s stay. Beautiful porch overlooking the winery! Plenty of space for our suburban kids to run and play in the yard! Hot tub to watch the sunset turn into starry sky! And only a 10 minute drive to groceries, drive-thru Starbucks, a quaint downtown (with bakeries and breweries) and the north entrance to Shenandoah NP. The hosts addressed any minor issues with the house promptly and professionally.

    The view off the back porch was worth the price of admission. Spectacular views! The house was very clean and perfect for my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) looking to hike the near by national park. Having a winery and tasting room in the backyard was great coming back from long hiking days.

    Very accommodating host. Property was very clean and neat with no excess clutter. We did not cook this trip, but if you wanted to cook the property was well stocked with cookware, utensils, dishwater and glassware. Property was easy to get to, and the winery was beautiful, welcoming, and delicious!!

    Nice place to relax in the hot tub, with wine in your hand from the local winery next door enjoying the view of the Appalachians. Clean place and property owner next door if you have any problems that arise.

    Great location close to town and the entrance to Shenandoah National Park. Beautiful views from the back deck! The hot tub was enjoyable after our long hikes. The area is very quiet and the house has everything you'll need for an enjoyable stay.
