We stayed at the NUT for a quick family getaway it was absolutely fabulous! This is our second visit to the NUT because we honestly loved the place so much. Not only was the home gorgeous, but the owner Jo was very great to work with and flexible to our needs from arrival to departure. I highly recommend staying at the NUT, you will not be disappointed. The home is picture perfect and immaculate.

We had a great time at your place the week between Christmas and New Years. The house was wonderful. We loved the hot tub and we truly enjoyed ourselves. We really appreciate you going out of your way to return my son's wallet as well. He left money in there and was heartbroken when he realized he'd lost somewhere in the house- he was so appreciative that you were able to find in the cushions and mail it back!!

We stayed for a brief getaway over the holidays and were so happy with The Nut. The decor was so cleverly put together. There were a lot of windows so the winter sunshine streamed in and lifted my winter "blah" mood instantly. We went to Hank's Restaurant for dinner on the first night then got an early night's sleep for a full day at the waterpark, which was a blast! We had dinner "in" the second night and then played Monopoly with the whole family. Oh, and a brief dip in the hot tub was awesome, especially when we heard the stream rippling in the background. What an awesome place. The only thing I would change is the length of time - I will definitely stay longer next time. Thank you Jo, we truly loved your great home. (My teens loved the lava lamp too by the way).

Loved every minute of our weekend at the Nut! We were bummed that the ski resort wasn't open yet when we got there. But the house had loads of things to do. Hours of playing countless games and the hot tub got plenty of use that weekend! There were also plenty of trails to hike and detailed information was ready and available thanks to the Nuts owners as they have written a complete guide of the area making our family well acquainted. Thanks again for let's us stay at the Nut it was perfect for me and my family for a little preChristmas bonding weekend! :))

We spent the weekend here and had an amazing time. The house is simply beautiful and even better than the pictures show. The owners are very friendly and also very accomodating with short notice. We loved our getaway so much that we plan to make it a regular visit, only longer next time. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home.

Thanks Jo. I'll make sure to look for it in my monthly credit card statement. We had a great time! We went to Luray Caverns and celebrated their 133th year with a fireworks display. We also went tubing the day after 2 inches of rain fell on the valley - the current was so fast and I almost missed the 'get-off' point (the driver had to throw in a line for me to catch, otherwise, I would have been swept away and they would need to pick me up 7 miles downstream!) Thanks again. > >Best regards, Anna Maria >
