    This cabin is the absolute best! It is gorgeous, was clean and homey, and had everything we could have needed and more! It worked wonderfully for my spouse and I, as well as for our three and one year olds! Everything worked as it should and Betsy was highly available for any questions! The area is also wonderful for local activities! We enjoyed our time for a week and are already saying we’ll need to go back again!

    We had a wonderful New Year stay at this house. The abundance of appliances really stood out - the kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed and more. The bedrooms and fireplace area were also very well stocked, which made the stay extremely comfortable.We especially appreciated the private, secured area, which gave us peace of mind and a sense of seclusion. The hot tub was a fantastic addition and made our stay even more relaxing. Overall, it was a great place to unwind and celebrate the New Year. We would definitely recommend this property.

    This log cabin is an incredible retreat! 10/10 It is well maintained and very clean! Communication was excellent and hosts have done a wonderful job with every detail. Personal toiletries, fluffy towels & bedding, comfortable furniture & beds, extra soft blankets for cuddling by the fire place and a stocked coffee bar & kitchen. The property is beautiful with an awesome fire pit and hot tub. Absolutely perfect for star gazing! We stayed during the Taurids meteor shower and WOW! Spectacular show! The cabin is so quiet & peaceful. Nestled on top of the mountain (I would note that having a vehicle with some clearance with AWD or 4WD would be very helpful). The cabin is far enough away for real solitude and serenity but only a 20 min drive to Shenandoah River State Park or Luray. 30 min drive to Shenandoah National Park. We enjoyed hiking Dark Hollow Falls in the NP and a few other trails, enjoyed the scenic Skyline drive and spent another day hiking the state park. We're an adventurous family that enjoys the great outdoors and a peaceful escape. This cabin offered everything we were hoping for and then some! Many thanks to Kevin and Betsy for sharing your wonderful cabin with us! We will definitely return in the future!

    The property is meticulously maintained and provides everything you can think of. It's clean and smells so fresh! The location is perfect if you love the outdoors and being away from any noise. The owners were in contact throughout the stay and offered suggestions on local fun and let us know to contact them if we needed anything. This place is 10/10, it does not disappoint!

    Immaculate cabin! By far the most cleanly cabin ive seen. And not another human in sight. Truly a stunning property. Couldn’t see the mountains from the summer leaves but the property was so beautiful it didn’t matter. Thank you for such an amazing stay!

    This was a great luxury cabin nestled just outside of Shenandoah. It was big, spacious, bright and cozy. Lots of great touches and amenities in the property. We especially loved the screened in porch. Amazing spot for a relaxing getaway.

    Exceeds five stars! The best log cabin mountain getaway we’ve ever visited and we’ve been to many through the years. The location, beautiful and clean interior, as well as having every accommodation you could think of, already has us planning our next stay!

    You really are on your own at the top of a mountain but with all the best comforts--hot tub, firepit, fireplace, views, comfortable bed. The cabin is so well equipped, clean and the hosts have thought of everything, one would think they planned the deer that gently walk onto the property. Would look forward to staying again, thank you Betsey and Kevin!!

    This cabin, tucked into the side of the national park, gave us a few days to relax, unwind and recharge. The wind in the trees created a soothing sound. I read on the screened porch, walked the steep road and even rode my bike along the quiet roads. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we recommend this property to all who like to be enveloped in nature.

    Looking for getaway with parents that was easy to maneuver with downstairs master bedroom and step in shower. Luckily, we already had the 4wd and everything else was just treasure! The hosts are so generous with what is supplied at the cabin and contact was plentiful to make sure every need was met. Furnishings are comfy and we enjoyed the screened in porch listening to nature -the hot tub was an added delight. Didn’t want to leave. I’m sure in the Fall it is gorgeous! Thank you again!
