Little Oasis

The Happy Peach is perfect for a getaway. It’s spacious and warmly decorated, welcoming everyone to spread out and relax. The view of the river and the feeling of seclusion yet just 10 minutes outside of town is unmatched. We enjoyed a day downtown visiting the brewery and antique shops, of which there are plenty. We also enjoyed a day watching the snow fall and cooking, reading, and just relaxing. It’s a perfect location and perfect place to find a little peace and time to connect with your partner/yourself/nature.

Quiet winter weekend

Booked a last minute 2 night stay and was not disappointed! Perfect house for our needs and amazing location right on the river! It was so nice to stay in and play games and just enjoy the fire and the quietness. Would love to return in the summer and take advantage of the easy river access!

We are repeat guests and we keep coming back for the excellent service, charming home with all the necessary comforts, and location. It’s a fantastic escape from the hustle and bustle. Callie is an excellent host and the process from booking until check out is easy and clear. Make sure you read through the binder that they leave out for you. It’s got lots of great info on local restaurants and activities!

House

The house was exactly as advertised. Great place to get away and have a nice time. Right on the water. However the river was low when we were there so we did not do any tubing but it was gorgeous.It was quiet and great for four people. Loved the front porch.

Perfect Peach!

Everything about this property exceeded our expectations. From the lovely river setting to the oh-so-comfortable beds, the immaculate condition, and the fully stocked kitchen, there is not a thing to complain about. Convenient to great restaurants in Strasburg, and a short drive to the Front Royal entrance to SNP. The goal of our trip was to hike sections of the Appalachian Trail and the “Happy Peach” was a perfect base for the northern half of the park.

A peaceful, magical place!

We spent three nights at the Happy Peach to get away during a challenging time. It was so relaxing and peaceful, just what we needed. Everything was just as listed, if not even better. The king bed was so comfortable. Everything was clean and thoughtful appointed. The screened in porch was the best and I did a lot of rocking out there, looking out to the river. The best part was the river access and how lovely it was. My son enjoyed splashing around and skipping rocks. We floated around on the tubes, which were kindly provided. I would very much like to come back and stay again! Callie was a wonderful host and extremely communicative and kind. Thank you for the perfect getaway!

Happy Peach = Serenity

If you're looking for a peaceful getaway ....this is the place !!! This home is lovely ....all the comforts of home and then some. We spent most of our time on the screened porch listening to the birds, reading, sipping wine and working on a puzzle. We also enjoyed sitting by the rivers edge. We simply enjoyed the serenity of our surroundings and didn't want to leave. We had perfect weather for grilling and the table on the porch enabled us to eat our meals outside. We were checking availability for a future stay before the end of our first day....we knew right away we wanted to come back. The home was clean, well equipped with everything you needed. We had no issues with our cell service or wifi. You will no doubt, enjoy your stay ! The Fennells

Shenandoah get away

This is a great property a short drive from many of the popular western Virginia attractions. The house has everything you need and the host is very accommodating. We had some concerns with bad weather and the host helped us resolve with no issue. This house is a short drive to several towns for dining and exploring. It is fully equipped if prefer to cook for yourself. The screen porch was our favorite feature and we loved watching the river and the wildlife. Recommend to anyone wanting a comfortable getaway!

Relaxing weekend at the happy peach

We had a great time at this property! Nice and quiet, secluded enough to feel disconnected to the world but close enough to Town to get almost anything you needed. We enjoyed the river and the firepir here, and the wildlife that paid us visits.

Tranquil and bucolic getaway!

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with excellent access to the Shenandoah Valley, the Happy Peach is a fantastic option! It’s a cozy cabin overlooking the Shenandoah River that feels a world away from everything but is only minutes from downtown Strasburg, I-81 and I-66. The deck, screen porch, outdoor fire pit, and grassy flat area by the accessible river offer lots of options to enjoy nature. Easily navigable deep steps make accessing the river or the flat adjoining river bank area manageable (though there’s no handrail). The home is clean and comfortable, with lots of considerate touches (information on area attractions and restaurants, games, a well stocked kitchen, lots of extra pillows in the closet…) that make for a great visit. The primary bedroom and attached full bath (2nd floor) were very generously sized with plenty of space for luggage. Callie was prompt and thorough in all communication, offering helpful advice to questions before and during our visit. We’d love to visit again! Thank you for hosting us!

Tucked away, but not too far!

A truly unique cabin/home that blends in nicely with nature and it's surroundings. Ultra clean property that is well taken care of, the new steps to the waters edge are a nice touch! Off the beaten path, but minutes from all the necessities. This is a great place to get lost, or go exploring on foot, bicycle or by car.

Loved it!

First, I have to say that Callie is a wonderful host. Snow was expected the night before our arrival and she texted with us to make sure we wanted to keep our reservation and then kept us up to date with the conditions of the roads. She even had the wonderful neighbor clear the driveway and porch. We felt welcome the moment we arrived. The reason for our visit was to enjoy some cooler weather. Be careful what you wish for because it was in the single digits! We loved it. While it was a little too chilly to enjoy the beautiful rocking chairs on the porch or the firepit by the river, we loved staying cozy by the fire inside. The property was beautiful covered in snow. We enjoyed walks at the River Walk in the park and at Seven Bend Park. The house was very clean and was stocked with everything you might need. These Floridians felt so lucky to be there during this snow! Look no futher. This is a great place to stay. I would love to come back in the summer also!
