About this property

Secluded Mountain Home Features Breathtaking Valley Views and Hot Tub

Nestled in the heart of the historic Shenandoah Valley, Deer Haven is a hidden gem that offers more than just unparalleled views of the valley on twenty secluded acres backing up to the National Forest. This short-term rental is your gateway to a whole world of adventure and relaxation!

Deer Haven's prime location is the perfect hub for those who want to explore the region's natural and historical wonders. Just 100 miles from Washington, DC, and a short drive to Shenandoah National Park, Bryce and Massanutten Ski resorts, and the spectacular Luray Caverns, you'll find yourself spoiled for choice. Experience a slice of history with a visit to the numerous Civil War battlefields or enjoy some leisurely wine-tasting at the nearby wineries and breweries. Hiking and water sports enthusiasts can hit the trails and the Shenandoah River, while antique shop and art gallery enthusiasts can discover hidden treasures in the charming towns along Route 11, including Edinburg and Woodstock.

Deer Haven's warm and welcoming interior is designed for your utmost comfort and convenience. The house features a fully-stocked, eat-in kitchen, three baths, and large decks with a grill, fire pit, and hot tub for relaxing. The living area boasts a fireplace, comfortable seating, and plenty of games to play and books to snuggle up with. Two bedrooms are on the second floor, including a principal bedroom with a wall of windows overlooking the Shenandoah Valley. The private third-bedroom suite is on the ground floor with its own bathroom, sitting room, bunk beds, and screened-in porch with great views.

**NOTE FOR WINTER GUESTS:
Deer Haven's recent paving of the most difficult part of the driveway has made it easier to reach the cabin. However, as the area does occasionally get snow, we require a four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle during winter months. Rest assured, we'll work with you to ensure your safety and comfort during inclement weather. In the unlikely event that the road is impassable, we'll honor a partial or full refund depending on the circumstances.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and experience the peace, quiet, and natural beauty of the Shenandoah Valley at Deer Haven. Keywords: House, chalet, mountain home, getaway, secluded, cabin, views, mountain house, lodge, DC, private, vacation, wildlife.

When I booked this home, it was originally for a total of 3. Then 4 others decided to join us due to the beautiful location and the activities we planned on doing ( dual sport/OHV trail riding). This house was roomy enough for all of us ( we cleared it with the home owner first) and very close to the trails. Lots of towels, very nice appliances, comfy beds, extremely private.

The kitchen was perfect to have dinners with everyone! We BBQd, used the stove and oven. Had plenty of cooking utensils. The view was spectacular at any temperature and any time of day or night. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, inside and in the hot tub. When it got too warm, the air conditioning was awesome. Everything worked as described!

Absolutely the most gorgeous views and a beyond peaceful and secluded location! The hot tub under the stars at night and making smores around the firepit was the highlight of the trip. The only recommendation we could offer to other guests - if you are at all picky about water - bring bottled water with you. Otherwise, this was an amazing cabin!

We had a wonderful time! The house was clean and comfortable. The beds were so comfortable, we actually inquired on where to get one. The front deck with the rocking chairs was amazing! The view was awesome. We enjoyed coffee in the morning and wine in the afternoon on the deck listening to the birds. If we had any questions, John responded quickly. We hope to come back here in the future.

Very enjoyable secluded mountain retreat with spectacular views, quiet privacy, comfy beds, plenty of space including porches and a fire pit and indoor fireplace. Nice hot tub to relax in at end of the day. Kitchen well equipped to cook in. Peaceful and cozy with excellent amenities.Be sure you have good traction or 4 wheel drive to ascend the final gravel/dirt road, particularly if there is snow or ice present.And make a left after you go over the small bridge (main road).

Deer Haven is a large cabin-type dwelling on a 20-acre lot, which is roughly half-wooded and half meadow. It affords expansive views to the west and has a short trail through mature woods. A great place for large families or small groups, it features three levels, with two bedrooms on the third level and one on the first level. There are three full bathrooms (one on each level--we recommend the one on the third level because of its superior pressure), as well as lots of seating. Furnishings are adequate for a cabin-type accommodation. The wonderful large windows provide great views and plenty of light during daylight hours. Interior lighting is quite limited and less than ideal for reading print publications at night, especially in the main room on the second level where the overhead lighting appears to have been disabled, perhaps for dark-sky purposes. Then again, who reads print publications anymore in a digital age? The owners' welcome packet recommends bringing flashlights or lanterns if more lighting is desired.The owners have prepared a comprehensive welcome pdf, which they provide well in advance of the stay so you can decide what to bring. It also has lots of information about the surrounding area. We recommend the Spring House Tavern in Woodstock for dining. We also encourage visitors to stop by the Shenandoah Valley Cultural Heritage Museum at the Edinburg Mill. Don't miss the documentary on the burning of the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War.

Response from VrboOwner on Jun 1, 2026
Hi Dennis, So glad you enjoyed your stay. I am sorry to hear you had trouble with the ceiling lights in the living room. They are indeed functioning, using a dimmer by the back door. The dimmer must have been reduced to its lowest setting, which is off. I am sorry you had to rely on the table lamps for light. I will add information about the dimmer to our welcome packet. We mention that flashlights and lanterns are available in the pantry for guests to use in case the electricity goes off, but not for nightly use. We hope to have you back in the future! John
