  • We just had the most incredible fall weekend at the Play Garden! The house is gorgeous and on a quiet country lane overlooking the Shenandoah River - the view is absolutely stunning, and you are in the middle of pristine Virginian horse country. We went for many walks along the river/country lanes, as well as apple picking and wine tasting. The house location feels isolated enough (we were desperate to get away from the city, so that’s what we were looking for), but it is actually only a short drive to the nearest country store if you need anything. The house is very well-equipped and the kitchen has everything you need (you bring the food - they have things like salt/pepper/oil/spices etc.). The owners have left a book with all sorts of information about local activities which was very useful. The rooms are very spacious and clean. We brought our own crib/highchair but I saw that they had these items so I will not bring ours next time. The booking agent was very friendly and flexible and always available to answer my questions. I really only have positive things to say about our time at the Play Garden – we will definitely be going back!

  • We really enjoyed the Play Garden==completely private, great pool, furnished with taste, all the amenities needed. We cycled, swam, hiked nearby, and enjoyed the gardens, the view and privacy. We plan on going back.

  • Comment Text: What a spectacular place to stay with your family. We had a wonderful time at this country retreat over looking the Shenandoah River. The expansive porch allowed us to enjoy the view while eating, reading or just lounging. The large pool was perfect for the kids and adults to enjoy a swim and soak up some sun. The spacious,gourmet kitchen has everything you need. The beds were great and the place was immaculate. The guest house was just as nice with plenty of room. It is just a short trip to D.C., Harpers Ferry and other historic sites which makes it a great location. We would certainly return to this scenic spot.

  • We stayed at the Play Garden the last week of May and fist part of June. It could not have been more fun and the accomodations nicer. Plus - wild flowers galore on the hillside.
