Great thanksgiving getaway

This house is a larger house that would be absolutely perfect for a thanksgiving dinner. There is a huge dining room table that could seat probably 16 comfortably. We really appreciated the comfortable bedrooms and beds with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. As a small family we loved being able to spread out and chill after hiking at Shenandoah, which is minutes away.

Best stay yet!

This was the best property we have stayed among at least 5 others in the recent past. The house was clean, well equipped, and everything worked as it should. Plenty of room for our 6 people family, close to downtown Front Royal, and close to Christendom College (we dropped off our daughter to college there over the weekend). Will definite choose this place again.

Beautiful!

The house was a beautiful, old farmhouse house. There were notes all around, giving clear guidance on where things were located. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. My favorite part was the large dining room table that allowed everyone to sit down and eat together. I would definitely stay there again.

Solheim Cup 2024

Six lady golfers stayed at Big Sunny and traveled to Gainesville to attend the Solheim Cup. We golfed at Shenandoah Valley Golf Course. We enjoyed the house very much. It had everything we needed. It was well supplied with all the extras! Nice to be in walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Great house in a great location

This was a girls’ trip for a homesteaders conference. We enjoyed the spacious living spaces; the pictures just don’t give them justice. We had meals around the large dining table, then moved into the large living room for further conversation and fellowship. The bedrooms were great also. The neighborhood hosts several restaurants and coffee shops. Just a great experience!

Family stay

A wonderful house with outstanding hosts! I cannot say enough good things about it. Convenient location, flexible accommodation, well equipped kitchen and lots of extra touches. We were 3 adults, a 10 year old, and an 8 year old. We enjoyed watching the Olympics, swimming in the Front Royal pool, walking by the river, and visiting the Handley Library in Winchester. We are relocating to this area from East Texas and found this visit very helpful.

Great home with all the little touches

Clean house with lots of space! Well stocked with all the necessities and little added extras that made for a wonderful stay for girls weekend! There were 4 of us and we had more house than we needed but loved it because we all had our own bedroom. Owners are very responsive. We had no issues and will definitely be back! Walking distance to town with shopping, restaurants, and wineries.short drive to hiking trails and more wineries!

The property was exactly as advertised but better. Patrick and Joy thought of everything! We really enjoyed the fire pit and the huge table that fit all of us. Parking was ample as our group had five cars (sometimes six or seven). VERY comfortable beds and we even managed to juggle seven people in two baths. All in all, the best B&B I’ve ever stayed in.
