Riverfront Farmhouse with Mountain Views, Hot Tub, Fireplace, Screen Porch, WIFI

Very nice farmhouse, quite spacious, nice view of the field and short stroll to the river!

Everything was great.....house was perfect. Beautiful setting and a lovely weekend!

Nina was very responsive and easy to partner with. The river and surrounding area are gorgeous. Some of my favorite time was on the big porch with my morning coffee. The house had plenty of space and all the amenities you would need.

As you’d expect from a older farmhouse, it wasn’t the cleanest, most modern place. As others mentioned, the bug-zooka was a big hit and a good way to deal with the plentiful stink bugs.

If your focus is on spending time in Luray and Shenandoah, the location is great. If you want to spend time in DC, it’s a little too far for my taste. We split time between the two and it worked out just fine.

First, once you turn off the main road to the right, just take your first left and go to the end of the road. We were allowed early access by an hour or so, which was gracious. It was very cold inside , so we lit the fireplace in the L/R because there were no instructions as far as heat otherwise. We did see heaters in each bedroom and figured that out. A couple hours later the owner showed up with a comforter and admonished us for smoking on the porch. Granted, we had the B/R door open that led to the porch so we could charge bluetooth, and we closed that when she mentioned it. We had not thought about it in the wide open space, but ok. The owner went on and on about smoke in her house and that she was going to post no smoking signs all over the porch so no one can smoke there anymore. That should not have been an issue since smoking outside was ok according to the listing. We were all made to feel uncomfortable immediatly. As I walked inside with her she asked me why I had the L/R fireplace on while we were outside. I told her because it was freezing inside. She immediatly turned the fireplace off, told me it was ornamental only and tried to start a heater in the kitchen. That never worked, although she did try to get someone out. I saw her turn the fireplace back on and then off again before she left. I had to sleep in the L/R on the futon and it was really cold. The place is also dirty. The toilet may be clean, because it's up to you to clean it and everything else, but when there is bird**** on the inside of the windows, that's just nasty. Old fake plants with layers of dust, filthy windows and doors, scum on dishes and glasses. Great views of the mountains, can't really see the river, but easy walk. You can make do anywhere, but for the money, I'd rather spend the extra and not be cheaped out.

We enjoyed our stay. The view was amazing, and for the first time ever we felt comfortable letting our city dogs run off their leashes. It was a cozy, rainy mini-break.
