We had a wonderful stay—just what we were looking for!!! The house was big enough for all of us, maintained well enough— but not pristine— which worked great for our crazy family. Stocked with all the necessities we needed— except a first aide kit . Our only complaint was the uneven, dirt( sometimes muddy) walkway to the entry door— nothing that a rake and a little gravel couldn’t fix— . Our host, Jennifer was prompt and friendly when answering our questions. All in all— a great place to stay!! Thank you!’
The location was perfect for our family getaway. The access to the lazy river was wonderful. The property had kayaks and tubes that made it very easy to lounge in the water. We loved the fire pit at night. We would definitely consider coming back again!
Everything was so nice and exactly as described. Host was very responsive to questions and inquiries. Would definitely stay again !!!!!!
The house and property exceeded our expectations! The house had plenty of amenities, we brought a lot of stuff given a prior rental, and we didn’t need half of it. The location of the house and the river couldn’t have asked for a better location. With 4 kids and w dogs there was so much space that a couple of the kids slept in different beds each night. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need. The kayaks and canoe were a plus, along with the game room. The hat came in handy with are multiple rainy days, but we made the best of it! 6/6 of our family decided we will be back next year!
This was a great house in a perfect quiet location. We had a wonderful time and would consider going back again.
The cons: The house was dirty. The floors had dust and dead bugs all over. The showers were filthy, with mildew all over the walls and tub. We had to clean the bathroom when we arrived there. We even found a half eaten pop tart on the shelf in the bathroom. The toilet bowl cover was loose and almost coming off. You could tell the house had not been cleaned for a while. We paid a lot of money and expected the house to be at least somewhat clean. Even the rugs, tablecloth and furniture had dust and stains on them. The Pros: The house was in a beautiful location, with the river within feet of the house. The owner was communicative and answered all of our questions. They had a pool table, canoes and kayaks, which were great. If the house was clean, we would have given it 5 stars. Overall, we did not feel comfortable staying in the house because of how dirty it was and would not stay there in the future.
We loved our family time at this property. It had everything we needed to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family of 8 including my husband and I, 3 young adults, 1 teenager, and 2 elementary aged children. We spent time on the river with the canoe and kayaks, time playing games together from pool and foosball, to board games and puzzles, to video games in the upper loft, and time in the well-equipped kitchen. Jennifer always provided quick responses to any of our questions before and during our stay, even having extra baking dishes purchased to make sure we had what we needed. There were some innocuous insect guests, but it's to be expected at this time when nature looks for cover, so we just swept them up and sent them on their way. We loved the spacious area along the river for relaxing, playing on the swings, and enjoying the firepit. Plenty of room there for throwing a football or frisbee. There were life jackets and tubing supplies for warmer weather(although, one son did decide to try out a tube even this week). The internet is not great, but we came for time away, so this wasn't a big problem for us. The house had a large video game assortment and the tv channel selection seemed large if you need it. Luray to the south and Front Royal to the north are a short jaunt away for needs, great small town shops, entry to the skyline drive, or entertainment from movies to caves/climbing/maze, and plenty of hiking in driving distance. Definitely on our list to return to! Thank you, Jennifer.
This is a lovely home, very well and thoughtfully provisioned. The tree swings and toys hit it out of the park with the little ones! The canoe and wide array of tubes, kayaks, life jackets and paddles allowed for some very fun times on the river and we really enjoyed our evenings by the firepit. Communication with the host was excellent.
We enjoyed the home and location, was a perfect meeting point for family coming from NY and SC. Very grateful they shared their home with us for Turkey Day. Lots of toys and games for the kids, they especially loved the swings hanging from trees. We made memories here that we’ll keep with us forever. THANK YOU
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. The location was gorgeous and the property was as described. It was very well-appointed and well-stocked. We had a great time walking around the area and relaxing by the river. We were a bit bothered by bugs outside the property (mostly gnats) as some others have mentioned, but I think that's just the area this time of year, the house itself was very clean. We would definitely recommend the place!
