Our stay was absolutely amazing. The property was beautiful and very quiet, and the sunsets were incredible. The cabin was perfect. Very clean, organized, well stocked (including a Christmas tree for our stay!), and everything is labeled. The hosts were very communicative and checking in was a breeze. Highly recommend.
My two adult daughters and I did a weekend getaway and for my youngest daughter‘s 35th birthday. Everything was so immaculate that we felt like we were the first renters in this cabin. It was elegantly decorated for the season. Not overdone like other places I have stayed. We enjoyed the comfy beds, cozy blankets in the living room, fire pit and the hot tub. We played some of the games, and there was an abundance of laughter throughout the weekend. The attention to detail was top notch. We wanted for nothing (except to stay longer.) AWD definitely needed to make the climb up to the cabin, but you won’t regret it. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us. We plan to visit again.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Bear Mountain Retreat. The location is breathtaking, the hot tub and fire pit were amazing, and we even made it out to Sunset Rock a few times. The hosts were super easy to work with, were super responsive, and made sure that our stay was perfect. We will definitely be going back!
Very nice, the house was well stocked to help you get started or if you forgot an item. Very clean and well kept grounds. We enjoyed wineries as well as the National Park and caverns. Very enjoyable. The Hosts were very receptive and responsive to any of our needs.
I have rented a few cabins before in different states and countries, but I can firmly say this experience has been the best. I now consider this the gold standard. For prospective renters, please end your search and just book this Cabin. Experience was flawless. Highest praise I can give
Property was in immaculate condition and very well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend away. If you are looking for a great place to get away, this is it.
We have a knack for choosing the best VRBO places and have enjoyed many of them around the east coast: Martha's Vineyard, Adirondacks, Outer Banks, and more, but none of them can top this one! Luxurious isolation, peace and quiet and beautiful surroundings. The Cabin is modern and perfect - meticulously clean and put together. An adventure just to find, it was well worth going off the beaten path to land this amazing value! We enjoyed especially sitting around the amazing fire pit and listened for any sounds of the modern world - not a plane or a car or noisy neighbor could be heard. There is also a perfectly screened-in porch from where to watch the bunnies and the birds, and inside, all the modern comforts are tastefully furnished. There is a hammock in the front where you can drift away. If you MUST have an internet connection well, it worked great for us, but we recommend you leave your phones and laptops and the TVs alone. Perfect 5 stars. Can't wait to come back.
If you are going to see Shanadoah this is the perfect place. Super cozy and quiet. High recommend.
