Magnificient accommodation, location, view, and amenneties for comfort.
The location and view (and privacy) were outstanding. The house is cute, easily accommodates 2 people (4 would be ok, but bathroom sharing amongst 4 could be a challenge), and has all of the amenneties to ensure maximimum comfort (blue tooth speaker, decently stocked kitchen, coffee and related items, cute decor, and plenty of towels and hot water.

The best view in VA
We keep coming back for a reason. The view from this property is just incredible. Cozy couch and fireplace and comfy bed, what more do you need? You can get about a mile walk in with the dogs on the road with little traffic. Close to wineries, parks, and hikes.
The home was so nice. The kitchen was nicely equipped with upgraded appliances. The view was impeccable. We enjoyed watching the sunrise on the porch and the fire pit was fun in evenings. A very clean home. We will definitely be back!

Very enjoyable
The sunrise was beautiful along with the view. The house was homey and comfortable. The extra touches were nice, towel warmers and the quality of the towels. When I had questions they got back to me within 15 minutes.
View is amazing. Access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and other local attractions is perfect. Kitchen was stocked well enough for light cooking. Very clean. Water and ice taste great. Liked the backup generator even though we didn’t need it. WiFi internet access excellent. TV setup was a breeze for streaming. Plenty of towels. Great place for a couple or family. Very unique to get this type of view and access to BRP and Shenandoah Natl Park.
