About this property

John Pope Cabin A beautifully 1865 renovated authentic log cabin


Our cabin, located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains is uniquely positioned overlooking a large open field where hawks hunt and bears leisurely stroll. Our neighbors have horses that peer over the fence (nosy) pet them but don’t feed them, please.

Our cabin was built in 1865 by a Confederate soldier returning from the Civil War. Eleven children were born and raised in John Pope Cabin. Our cabin is rustic. A large front porch with swing is waiting for you. @walnuthillcabin
The space
We allow pets but we are careful about how many. We prefer to discuss the pet situation before booking. Please include your pet when requesting a stay.

If you are a stickler for privacy…the bedrooms are adjoining but separated by a door!

A reminder...this is an old , rustic, vintage cabin so stairs are narrow to both bedrooms and bathroom so please be careful! Use handrails.

Please strip sheets and leave in pile on bed when leaving. This way I know how many beds were used.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE PARK IN DESIGNATED PARKING SPOTS(MARKED). DO NOT PARK ON CABIN LAWN.
Guest access
Feel free to hike! Hiking trails available! Stroll around the pond! Make yourself at home! The picture of the waterfall is on our property and easily accessible by map!
Other things to note
There is an outdoor shower behind the cabin! It works great and is very private!

Our cabin is equipped with a Jotal wood burning stove as well as a split system to keep you warm as toast all winter and cool as a cuke in summer.

This winter we gave our beautiful cabin a makeover. We sanded and stained the floors and added a split system both upstairs and down providing extra warmth in the winter and cooling in the summer.

Every detail of this immaculate 1800s cabin was perfect. I’ve never been so happy to be without a TV! The views are breathtaking and the sounds? Just nature! The hosts were so welcoming and we already want to go back.

We absolutely loved our stay in the cabin! We enjoyed seeing the deer and the fireflies at night. Judy was an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed. We were spending time in at Shenandoah National Park and the location was perfect. The outdoor shower was honestly a high point! We fully recommend the cabin. We played so many games and read lots of books as a family. Lots of room out front for our dog to run around and our daughter to play soccer.

Cozy Cool Cabin

We loved the property, the antique cabin, the claw foot tub and bubble bath as well as the outdoor shower. Can’t wait to come back for a full weekend!

We kept our dog on a leash but did not see much wildlife. The grounds and view of the ridge, and the sunrise, were lovely. We enjoyed the claw footed tub as well as the hot outdoor shower and watching the stars come out at the well equipped fire pit. We didn’t cook much, but the antique oven was darling and we would have loved streaks on the bbq. Highly recommend if you don’t have a problem with stairs to the bathroom. Just 25 minutes to anywhere in Front Royal.

The cabin is truly authentic. To be able to step back in time and get the experience of mid 19th century living while still having some of the modern day facilities. My wife still talks about her soak in the tub. I found the outdoor shower refreshing. The firepit and hammock are a great way to relax and enjoy the fresh air and starlit night. Judy was an attentive and responsive host. The stay exceeded our expectations. We are already planning our return but with family so we can share this experience.

Charming little cabin

This is a beautiful old cabin that has been really well maintained/renovated, and is on a large lovely farm property in the Shenandoah area. There's lots of great scenery, hiking, etc nearby. It's comfortable, cozy, and the owners are friendly and kind! Two minor points of caution - if you need Internet connectivity, you won't get it here. The cabin's Wi-Fi is via a T-Mobile hotspot, but the weak cell connection goes in and out. Also, the cabin is not accessible to those with mobility limitations. e.g. the bathroom and bedroom are as far apart as possible, requiring traversing 2 flights of steep stairs. Having said that, this is a great cabin that I'd recommend to any able-bodied visitors of the area.

Lovely, quiet spot. Very relaxing. Read the property details carefully as it a bit precarious going up and down the stairs, especially during the night.
