    The Home had everything we needed and was in a lovely setting. The kitchen was well stocked for use and even provided my morning coffee, which was greatly appreciated. It enabled us to bring our dogs with us when visiting our family nearby. The set up is very family friendly with games, books, and space needed for all ages. Hope to come back when the weather is warm to enjoy some fishing and walks along the river

We loved that it had a travel pack n play and high chair for our toddler. Made traveling with all our toddlers things a little easier. Our dogs had a great stay, nice and open for them to stretch out. Our host even left us some fresh eggs which was so appreciated and enjoyed!

    It was a very pleasant stay for a 2-night getaway in the mountains. Because of the details, from kitchen appliances and dinnerware to a first aid kit and 3 televisions with streaming), it had a nice homey feel as if you were visiting your aunt’s house. It would be great to have additional suggestions on local convenience stores or restaurants perhaps in the Elkton area, especially for those exploring Skyline Drive.

    This was the perfect house to stay in while visiting Shenandoah National Park. Only a short drive from one of the entrances, it made our day trips to the park much more manageable (with a baby and two dogs!). Loved the trees and the stream behind the house. Also, we forgot a few things after we left and were told immediately by the host, who offered to ship them for us. SO kind and appreciated. Overall, 5 stars.

    This was the vacation we needed and in the exact place we needed to reset our hearts and minds. The cabin is beautiful inside and out. The location is perfect. The river coming down through the rocks is relaxing. Our dog and I would sit on the porch every morning for a few hours and just kick back and enjoy the sounds. One word of caution... do NOT take a right out of the driveway. The road turns to a gravel, one lane road almost immediately. It is beautiful but gets interesting when you meet a very large truck. We plan on staying here again... and very soon.
