About Owner
This was our summer home when I was growing up, in the late 80's my Mother remolded, and added on to the exiting cabin. She then sold her home in Arlington, Va and stayed there the rest of her days. I love sharing this place with people for I have lots of fond memories.
Owner purchased this House in 1956
Why Owner chose Amissville
This house was handed down to me. My siblings and I learned to swim in Lake Wilson and fish in Lake Mosby. We had lots of good times down on the river, We have had a wedding, and numerous pig roasts and of course lots and lots of picnics.
What makes this House unique
Great place to make family and friends memories!

High Recommendation!
Great for a get-away from the hustle and bustle of life. The rural area made it easy to slow down. The house was very nice, clean, and the owner personally met us at check-in and for a quick tour. The river was a nice addition. Even though the weather was cold, we enjoyed walking by the river and our dog loved running around down there.
It was a wonderful property very clean
It was easy and the owners were very attentive
Mountain Retreat Delivers
The communication with our host was excellent - there was plenty of room to spread out with my family of 7 - very warm and inviting - beautiful setting - everything was clean and well kept - the property shows a lot of love from the owners
Thank You, we try our best to make our guests feel like their home, to relax and make wonderful memories
Vacation Getaway
The property is very beautiful and scenic. Enjoyed hiking down to river and 2 lakes. It's very close to several wineries. Met with owner upon check-in and she showed us all around. The house has several rooms for all activities especially outside. I loved being able to sit outside on decks and see the river. Very peaceful and quiet!
Glad you liked our place. It was heartwarming when you daughter still had a picture of Miss Kitty's from years ago when she attend a wedding shower on her phone of the butterfly on the angel birdbath.
That's the kind of memories we love to make!
Cuz's reunion
Merilee and Randy were excellent hosts, very friendly and accommodating. The property is beautiful. Our group of cousins came from OR, CA, CO and NJ and we had a great time visiting and seeing some sights: Mt. Vernon, Monticello, Wilderness Battlefield and the Skyline Drive. Very relaxing stay
Peaceful, homey retreat.
Never met nicer, more attentive and thoughtful hosts. Yes, hosts. Not property managers. Met us at the door and gave us a tour of the home and property. Went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.
Map

You can spend days touring the numerous wineries that are located around our area, 2 are within 3 miles of the house. Spring and fall bring the steeple chases, antique shops, art galleries, are within minutes, caverns to tour or hiking the Blue Ridge Mts. We are 20 minutes from Skyline Dr, 58 miles to DC and 40 miles to Dulles International Airport.
Other Activities: Our house overlooks the picnic area by the river where we have a lighted shelter with tables and grill along with lawn games.
Kids love the zig zag path to the river or take them to the lake for a swim. Or take the boat and paddles for a little fishing on the Lake Mosby where you can land a big bass. We have trails along the river to enjoy as well or just sit on the deck or patio and relax after touring DC or hiking along the Blue Ridge. We have numerouse vineyards to try along with antique shops, art galleries and horseback riding.
