Great place to unplug and unwind.

We spent a wonderful relaxing week at the Shenandoah Sanctuary. The property was clean and well stocked with everything you need. It’s central location made exploring the Shenandoah Park and other attractions very manageable.

Great weekend getaway

Beautiful location, quiet and peaceful. Nearby Stanardsville is a quaint small town. The cabin was perfect for our family rendezvous. Will probably book again in the future sometime.

Cute Cabin in Beautiful Remote Location

This cabin is a wooden retreat near many things to do in nature and nearby Charlottesville. We hiked in the Shenandoah National Park, played board games in quiet of our cabin, cooked pancakes and enjoyed shopping nearby. Wish we could've stayed longer.

Away from it All!

We enjoyed our time at the Shenandoah Sanctuary. We wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle and this was the perfect place. Great place to relax, read a book, sit around the fire, enjoy stargazing and spend time with family and friends. A short 30 minute trip to Shenandoah NP and 45 min to Charlottesville. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect for our needs!

Communications were great, and they made sure we knew what we needed for the stay. The place was clean and had plenty of linens and towels for our use. I do think that if you have a small car you will have trouble getting in to the site, especially if there's bad weather. I needed to put my truck into 4-Wheel drive a couple of times.

Peaceful, quiet location but slightly desolate; felt like we were in the woods. Host was gracious and communicated well. Place was clean and well stocked. The only con was that the internet was very patchy, but then the entire Shenandoah didn’t really have internet access, so may be common for that area.

Beautiful property near hiking

Enjoyed everything about this place! Spectacularly clean. Comfy beds. Great gathering spaces indoors and out. Close to everything in the region. Fabulous evenings at the fire pit after grilled dinners in the deck. Completely hassle free entry. Everything works. Exactly as pictured/described !!

The photos of this property did not do it justice! It’s absolutely a stunning, picturesque location and the perfect place to unwind and get away from it all. My family from the UK had the best time hanging out at the cabin. We were close to fishing, hiking and skyline drive so managed to get lots done in a short amount of time. Walmart was only 20mins-ish away so we could stock up on supplies if needed. The hosts thought of absolutely everything you could need and more. I was really impressed with the cabin as a whole. We made s’mores, stargazed and enjoyed the quiet location.

Serenity indeed

We very much enjoyed staying here for our Shenandoah adventure. The house is in an inviting wooded area, pretty secluded, but within half an hour we were in the park. We were able to watch the sunset at Point Overlook, then come back and roast marshmallows, watch fireflies (nonexistent where we live), and see the stars. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, which we appreciate, as we enjoy being able to cook a bit and prepare lunches. Highly recommend!
