Just 3 nights

We took our 18 yr old here on a trip of Virginia and NC. This house was perfectly located for the hikes and tubing activities we wanted to do. Skyline drive was cool even though it was foggy and drizzling on and off all day. Into Charlottesville one day for tubing on Rivanna river. So glad we have the washer and dryer. Super clean and had extra things like kleenex, coffe and shampoo. Really felt like home.

Lovely cute home

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely country home in VA. We wanted to stay close to Shenandoah NP and it was a quick drive over. Any issues we had the property manager and owner were quick to respond. They’re very kind. The place was very clean and provided us with enough amenities for a long weekend.

Lovely property. The house fit us perfectly for what we needed. We had our two adult daughters with us, so the two twin beds in second bedroom were perfect. It was also close to the Shenandoah NP which we visited both days. There was a grocery store and places to eat not far up the road. If we were ever in the area again we would certainly stay here.
