    This was a great property. It’s nicely located and the owners have really taken the effort to make it welcoming and enjoyable. The place was very clean and there were lots of thoughtful things ( snacks, lots of dinnerware, coffee, teabags, makeup remover) that added a touch of convenience to our visit. The outdoor seating was great and very relaxing. Overall a great place to stay and we would definitely visit again.

    Communication from the host was excellent. We got regular updates and helpful information before and throughout our stay. The house was beautiful (loved the Christmas decorations), and very comfortable for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked with more than the basics, including a lot of extras that many rentals do not have. The coffee, tea, hot chocolate bar was extra special along with the snacks (and charging cords). Thank you for thinking of everything to make our stay so easy and enjoyable.

    The size of the space and layout worked really well for us including lots of time and space together but also allowed time away from the group. All without giving up the great amenities provided.

    Tremendous stay - the house was very well appointed, clean, and the owners clearly have the experience in mind from check-in through check-out. One of the smoothest, most comfortable, and peaceful VRBO stays we've ever had.

    Stayed at the property with our 3 grown children, their spouses and 3 grandkids. It was one of the better VRBO’s we’ve used. The owner was responsive to our questions. Loved hiking in the National Park.

    The house was very clean and spacious with little touches throughout. We cooked a couple meals while we were there and found absolutely everything we needed. 6 of us were there for our annual girls weekend and we all had plenty of space for ourselves. The driveway is a bit steep and awkward but we had no problem fitting/parking 3 SUV's. Would definitely stay again!

    Magnolia met our needs beautifully. There is a lot of space; 4 of the 5 bedrooms are huge. Lots of things that make a trip a little better...great TVs, comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen. The location is very convenient to the resort as well as restaurants and shopping.

    We stayed at Magnolia Lodge to celebrate our son’s graduation from nearby James Madison University. The VPMS staff was very responsive to our questions and provided thorough instructions for arrival and check-in. The property is very clean and well-furnished, with plenty of amenities such as snacks, coffee, extra spices, paper products, and cleaning supplies. We also appreciated the strong wi-fi and games to keep everyone connected and entertained. The steep driveway was a bit challenging when wet, but there is plenty of room for several vehicles. We highly recommend this property and the VPMS team. Thanks for a great stay!

    This property was exactly as presented. It was beautiful, clean, and spacious. It was in a very safe and beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Very close to an ice cream shop and great brewery. The third floor bedrooms get a bit hot with just one A/C unit for 3 floors, but I'd stay there again even knowing that. The bedrooms were so beautiful and roomy!Great stay!

    We stayed at this amazing property for our daughter's wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and even nicer than the pictures reflect! This was also the best stocked kitchen of any house that we have stayed in. It made our stay relaxing and added so much to our wonderful weekend!

    We use VRBO nearly every time we travel and Magnolia House is the best-managed property we've ever stayed at! From the cleanliness to the amenities, the house had everything we needed. We traveled with our 18-year-old twins and two friends of theirs. Everyone had their own room and the kids had a separate downstairs den of their own. Overall, it was a great family weekend and we will definitely rent this house again!

    Magnolia Lodge is a wonderful accommodation. We had a family of 6 adults and 2 grandchildren, 1 and 3 years old. The layout was perfect for us- grandparents on the main floor, parents and grandkids upstairs and the youngest of our kids and her partner on the bottom floor. The beds were great!! First time with no back pain in the morning in months! The details of the home are so inviting. There was a Christmas tree and a place to hang stockings on the mantle — Santa came AGAIN! Little ones so excited. The kitchen was well stocked, with everything one could need. Lots of pots and pans, all sizes, dishes, utensils, everything. And plenty of supplies- soap, dish towels etc. And a supply of snacks, which the toddlers loved, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Finally, the property management company, VPMS, was first rate. We had lots of questions, the response was always prompt and friendly, even when we didn’t expect a response until the next day.Highly recommend Magnolia Lodge!

    The home is big enough to accommodate a large group but very cozy feeling. The home was very, very clean with many amenities. The towels were fluffy, the kitchen had every appliance we needed, plenty of plates and silverware and a very well stocked beverage bar. The owners were responsive. The driveway is steep and curved but manageable. Overall a great rental property.

    This cabin was the perfect retreat for our group of six. The spacious interior and multiple floors gave us plenty of room to spread out and relax. The cozy fireplaces added a touch of warmth and ambiance to our evenings. The location was convenient, with a short drive to Shenandoah National Park. The quiet neighborhood and comfortable accommodations made for a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Plus, the thoughtful inclusion of snacks was a welcome surprise. We would definitely stay here again!

    FLAWLESS from Pre-check in to Post Check out. Property was everything it says it is and the location was perfect. Clean on top of Clean.. Did I mention Clean... Everything worked and the kitchen was more than adequate. Felt like home and then some. No complaints from my entire family. Parents are in their 80's and children are in their 20's. All found the property to their liking and would book it again...

    Absolutely every thing about our stay was perfect with the exception of the convenience of having to do a 20min round trip to drop of the trash. The house was very clean. It was stocked with everything we needed. Everything was in impeccable condition. We stayed here with another family. A total of 10 people. 10 people and cooking meals for our families, including 6 children, meant we had a good amount of trash. It was a 10min drive in one direction to drop off the trash. It was just extremely inconvenient. Trash situation aside, I have not had many better experiences with renting a home for a vacation. It was, overall, a great house. I highly recommend it.
