We had such a great weekend at the Pistachio Nut! The home is so cozy and beautifully maintained. The hosts were welcoming and available and had truly thought of everything to make our stay seamless. They provided everything we needed, from cold bottled water to fun games, a well-stocked kitchen, and comfy beds. The house was so easy to navigate: uncluttered and well labeled. We are really hoping to return sometime in the future!

Great Mountain House

Our family came to the area to visit Shenandoah National Park. This was a great place to stay toward the middle of the park that had beautiful drives in every direction. The house was very clean and our kids LOVED the game room!

We had such a wonderful trip and stay at the Pistachio Nut. Michael was super helpful and welcomed us to show us around. This is better than any other rental you will find, hands down. Not just for the arcade room which will blow you away. We will definitely stay there again.

The stay was awesome. The online listing didn't completely justify how great this place was. The host communicated immediately from the booking through the checkin. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The kids and the big kids loved the game room. We definitely recommend this place and would stay there again when in the area. Teresa J
