Perfect Labor Day Stay

This property was perfect. We used the fire pit, watched thunderstorms from the porch, floated in the river, slept in the very comfy bed and had a perfect long weekend. I'd love to come back someday.

Vacation

We had an amazing time at the house. It was close to the park for hiking or nice to just relax on the tubes in the river.

Solitude at the river

Relaxing location near the river, no neighbors other than the train tracks. Lots of amenities that come with the house - tubes for floating, canoes, bocce ball for the yard!

Serene setting within close proximity of adventures

Clean and comfortable home. Love the old farm feel with some modern touches. The views are great, and the property allows for different relaxation settings, be it on the back deck enjoying a fire and a meal, or playing ball on the grounds, or relaxing by the river. Watching the cows from the kitchen table during morning coffee was a great way to wake up. We even enjoyed the train, although if you are a light sleeper bring a device to play some white noise... and who does not love cocktail pac man arcade!

Convenient and Comfortable, with Room for Improvement

The house was in a convenient location and we found the beds very comfortable. Kitchen had all cooking essentials provided. The outdoor space looked great, even though we didn’t have time to utilize it. There was an AC issue for the 2nd floor and Chrisi (the host) was quick to respond and sent someone out quickly. Communication with the Property Manager was less responsive and unsure of items on site. Check in was easy and the house was tidy. A few housekeeping oversights (hair in shower drain/not draining well, dirty sheets in washer, etc.), and a strong dog odor when the mini-split was running. We also found out 4 days before check-in that we were responsible for taking all trash to a refuse center (not mentioned in listing). With our son’s graduation/moving out, we were unable to make it while it was open. To avoid the 50 fee for leaving trash we had to take it home to Massachusetts with us.

Little Reset and a Lot of Laughs!!

My girlfriends and I were in need of some Adult Girl Time! A place to just relax, reset and enjoy some piece and quiet while knowing we were just a few miles away from Civilization! This amazing little House was Absolutely EXACTLY what we all were looking for! We enjoyed the house and ALL it had to offer. Front Porch sitting during a rain storm. The river to wade and float in. The comfy house that made us feel at home while we played cards, laughed, had a few drinks and curled up on the sofa to binge some good ol magic inspired shows we all knew our husbands would hate!! Lol We enjoyed a day at the Caverns, a few wineries and had some AMAZING German food at a place called The Bavarian Chef located 40mins away down Windy mountain roads with views that just calmed our souls!! We all highly recommend this Amazing Home for a girls weekend, or even a romantic getaway! A family vacation and even a guys weekend of fishing, camping and grilling!! We all cant wait to come back and enjoy it all over again!! Thank you to the Hosts for sharing this little slice of Heaven for us all!!!

Great farm house on the river

It was a great weekend before the start of school. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen (K cup coffee maker), was clean, and the pac-man game was a hit. There was plenty of space for the kids to run safely around. We didn't use the grill but did enjoy eating outside and having a fire in the fire pit off the porch. Bring your own wood. The shed had tubes, life vests, and oars for the canoe, which my family really enjoyed. The whole property was surprisingly mosquito free! We also were close enough to the water park at Massanutten and the White Oak Lavender farm in Harrisonburg for a good day out. It is farm country and there was an occasional smell of farm on the property, mostly during the hottest part of the afternoon. And although Google says the driveway connects to Captain Yancey road, it does not. the driveway just goes to a neighbor's house. thanks for the great weekend!

Tough place to find when we arrived at night, but reading the reviews i knew this. I would recommend a sign at the "Y" in the drive way to point to the house. The house itself was very nice. There is definitely a smell of dogs in the house so if that is an issue, this may not be your place. I was not able to utilize the outdoor spaces or the river because of a storm. I was there for a JMU finction and it was in a great location, far enough yet close enough. Again the only issue is the dog smell, i would not return based off that alone. I am not a dog owner so do not care for it. However, like i said if this is not an issue, the place is great. Thank you for having us.

Beautiful Property with everything you forgot you needed

First I have to start off with the fact that the property exceeded my expectations. The beds were comfy and there were tons of pillows and blankets. The owners of this property have everything you have forgotten to pack. Which includes but is not limited, to Q-tips, games, coloring books, extension cords, and bug spray. They have thought of everything! The location was hard to find but a Google satellite picture helped when we planned the trip to find the location. The property was well-furnished and extremely comfortable. We found the decore was fitting and adorable. The kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances for a modern life. We took walks down to the river every day but unfortunately, it was raging due to TS Debbie's aftermath. Our only drawback was that the internet did not work no matter what we did and communications with the owner were on point but due to equipment failure we were not able to have TV or internet. This was not a huge issue as it caused us to communicate more, sit on the front porch, and play a few more hands of cards. We enjoyed the sounds of the country (cows and roosters) and of course the train. It was a welcome relief to hear that instead of normal urban sounds. I will only say to other VBRO Renters, if there is something wrong with the property you have rented or if supplies are low on something in the unit, please let the owners know so they can deal with the issue for the next person who comes into the unit.

Great location

Family trip to see Shenandoah National Park. Property is perfect location to park and to Elkton. Private and secluded. My son fished every day and caught every day. Enjoyed the canoe as well. Washer and dryer super handy after all day adventures! Had a couple of things needed help with and the host was extremely responsive! Comfy beds and plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out inside and outside!

A lovely river house

We had a wonderful time here! Everything was easy and relaxed. Close to a store for groceries, right on the river for daily, any-time swims, an easy drive to Shenandoah National Park. We would love to return here again.

Cute Farmhouse

What a cute farmhouse. It brought back so many memories of visits to my grandparents’ friends’ farm when I was a kid. We enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit and toasting S’mores. I especially loved watching the lightning bugs put on a show. We really appreciate everything you did to ensure that our “working vacation” was a success!

Great house!

This is a super cute renovated farmhouse. Our family of four really enjoyed the space and the outdoors around the house. The kids absolutely loved the little reading nook and the Pac-Man game. Plenty of space to sit down by the water, as well. The house is well stocked with everything we needed for our long weekend visit. We cooked simple meals most evenings and had ample pots, pans, and utensils. We went to the Shenandoah National forest for hiking during the day and spent afternoons and evening fishing and swimming. The walk down to the river has a nice path, and is shady and nice. Highly recommend bringing water shoes and bug spray in the summertime.
