We stayed at Reddish Ridge during our 20th College reunion for Mary Baldwin. It was the 2nd time we stayed at the house, having stayed here for our 15th, 5 years ago. Our group consisted of friends from the class of 1992 as well as friends from two other classes. We had all traveled from across the country: Philadelphia,Florida,Memphis,TN.,Norton,Va.and Columbus,OH. We loved the beautiful views,the horses, the hot tub and just having the space to spend time together catching up. Thank you so much and see you in 5 years ! !

Our party of nine people very much enjoyed three days stay at this property. The views are really great in all directions. The place is very well secluded providing a great deal of privacy. There are plenty of things to do in surrounding area as well as in Staunton, which only 15 minutes ride. We are going to come back to the place in the summer.

Our Stay at Reddish Ridge

This has been such a relaxing stay for our family! The house has everything we could need and more. Almost every evening all 7 of us piled into the hot tub on the back deck for some star gazing. Two of us had such as amazing experience on the horses that was lead by Harold. He took a large part of his afternoon to saddle them and teach us proper horse riding techniques. As for the VIEW, my sister in law said it best "This is the best view from sitting on a coach that I can imagine!" That all being said, we loved our stay and will be passing the word along to our friends.

Our stay at Reddish Ridge was one of the most memorable and exhilarating experiences. All of us enjoyed irrespective of age group toddlers to adults from boys to girls. Idaho and Star, the two horses were very much fun to ride. Deck with the hot tub was the most sought after outdoor activity for the kids and very relaxing for the adults. We are taking back with us wonderful memories of Reddish Ridge. Thank you Mr.Moore for this wonderful property well maintained.

Our stay at Reddish Ridge has been a wonderful experience! This was a family vacation to relax, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and simply be together. We have done just that - and in the perfect setting. There has been something for everyone in our family to do and enjoy. The children loved the swings, the men loved the golfing area, and we all enjoyed the horses, amazing views from the porches, the hot tub, and the fire pit. We spent one evening making S'mores around the fire and looking at the stars - priceless memories were made there. The house has felt like home since we arrived. Each room is spacious, comfortable, and perfectly decorated. It is obvious that much attention to detail was given when planning to host guests here at Reddish Ridge. We only had to buy food when we arrived. Everything else was provided for us. We thank you for the great experience we have had here and for the extra nice accommodations. We have made lifelong memories to treasure as a family and have been extremely pleased since arriving. As a group we agreed that we would return in the future if the opportunity presents itself and definitely recommend Reddish Ridge to friends. Thank you.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We had a very gorgeous weekend. This house allowed us to spend time with our families from Tennessee and New Jersey. We had multiple generations represented, from a grandmother to a "baby on the way." A very special moment was that my niece got engaged here this weekend. This house was both kid friendly and adult friendly. Everything was easy to find and use and the children could run and play without worries. Idaho & Star were wonderful! We rode the horses a lot and they were great the whole time. There were calm and friendly. I was comfortable with my 3 year old on Idaho with no one next to him, just being guided by someone. So, not only did the Easter Bunny come on Sunday, but so did the Tooth Fairy! The kids enjoyed searching for more than 220 eggs hidden...one had a $20 bill inside the egg which was hidden in horse poop! We enjoyed our days out in the sun, near the horses, flying kites, bike riding, and taking walks on the property. The evenings were spent in the hot tub, sitting by the fire in the field, or catching up looking at pictures & videos over a glass of wine. The view was beautiful anywhere & everywhere we looked! The weather was awesome, also. Thank you for everything to make this weekend so special!

On Sunday, July 8, 2007, my wife and I arrived form Waverly, WV, and met our son, his wife and two daughters. We had a wonderful week together. The view from the back deck is excellent and I wish I had such a view while I prepare sermons. We enjoyed the time with each other, playing pool, watching movies, using the hot tub in the late evening hours, and the kind people we met in the area. As a grandfather, what I enjoyed most was watching my 3 year old and 8 year old granddaughters going to the field and getting the two horses, Bo and Magic. When I saddled up, my son and I would take them on trail rides. Those are the most gentle horses I have ever seen. It was a perfect way to introduce my grandchildren to horses. The memories we made this week we will cherish forever. John Frum, Waverly, WV

When we first drove up the drive, I knew I would never want to go home! The Horses Bo and Magic were brilliant to ride on the trails in the field. Me, my Mum and my Brother loved riding Bo and Magic. I rode Bo and my Mum and Brother Alex rode Magic. We groomed them everyday - but Magic still looks hairy! We all loved the views of the mountains, especially in the morning. Me and Mum loved watching the birds on the bird table. My favorite bird was the Northern Cardinal. Phoebe Bessell aged 9

Reddish Ridge is such a wonderful place to stay. The views when we first arrived were breathtaking! It is such a peaceful, relaxing place to be - a million miles from the stresses of being a working mum! Thank you so much, Harold, for having the time and patience to show us the trails and give us the confidence to get going on our own with Bo and Magic - they truly are a credit to you! We will all miss them - they have been fantastic with the children and have stood so still whilst being groomed and sat on! We have thoroughly enjoyed our week here and only wish there had been more time!!

Our stay at Reddish Ridge has been a dream come true! It has been almost five years since we were altogether - we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay! This well appointed house has been ideal for our family group. The scenery is spectacular - the weather this past week has been spectacular too!! We arrived in the sun and heat of 80 degrees, and a few days later Phoebe & Alex were sledding in the snow! We have all enjoyed bird watching and Bo and Magic have been favorites with us all. I know that Phoebe and Alex will never forget them. There is really only one problem. We have to go home tomorrow. We shall all have so many happy memories of our stay at Reddish Ridge. My favorite being - champagne in the hot tub, looking at the stars with my family!

What was our stay at Reddish Ridge? It was driving up to the house and knowing that we got our wish for privacy! It was sittng out on the back deck in the morning, and enjoying your cup of coffee in the cool morning air. It was hearing no sounds except the birds, and the wind through the trees. It was a perfectly appointed, stocked and clean house, with everything you need for a vacation yet the comforts of home. We really enjoyed our stay at Reddish Redge, and the owner was just a phone call away to answer our questions, help out, or take us on a horseback ride through the beautiful property!

Most of the time at the end of even a good vacation, we are looking forward to getting back to the comfort of home. Not so here at Reddish Ridge, because all of the comforts of home are here along with everything else you look for in a vacation getaway. We spent cool, pleasant days visiting area attractions like the Blue Ridge Parkway, or just enjoying the property with its many trails. Dusk and nights were spent watching the spectacular view and sunset from the deck, followed by star gazing from the hot tub. Reddish Ridge is definitely a great mountain retreat with all the comforts of home. The Lambrias, Florida

We had a wonderful stay here at Reddish Ridge. The kids especially loved the horses and got to go on guite a few rides. We went to see the cave and we all really liked the hot tub and game room. The movie and book library was also very nice to have. We would love to come back some day soon. The house is beautifully decorated also. Thanks so much.

I felt like I was visiting an old friend. Welcoming and cozy. -Ae The house is more comfortable and well-kept than even our own. The property is absolutely beautiful with views on either side of the house. We loved the horses whom we greeted daily with carrots. A perfect vacation of relaxation, scenery and loads of stars! -The Bennetts A wonderful place to gather with friends and family - room for all. Horses to visit and ride, a hot tub for relaxing and a rec room to entertain you with darts, pool and cards. We had an enjoyable visit with more than gracious, accomodating and helpful host. It was the perfect way and the perfect place to ring in 2006. There couldn't have been a better beginning for the New Year! - The Derryberrys

We want to thank you for the wonderful time that we spent at Reddish Ridge. For starters, your hospitality and friendliness was greatly appreciated. You made us feel as if we were coming to visit an old friend! The house was immaculate, not to mention comfortable, and beautifully put together! The panoramic views from the front and back of the house were wonderful, and our 13 year old fell in love with your gentle horses. We had such a fun ride that afternoon through the trails in the forest. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the hot tub with the view of the Allegheny Mountains(talk about privacy!), and we had a blast downstairs playing billiards and darts. Each evening, after all the "crazy" activities and fun of the day, we would sit in the family room to unwind in front of the fireplace. We are very much looking forward to returning to Reddish Ridge!
