About the host
Hosted by Jean Adair
Mike and I are so excited to share our amazing Shenandoah escape with you. We both served in the Army and traveled the world. Retired now, we are traveling the USA. We originally built our log home as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of our DC area jobs after the Army. Now we are happy to share this special place with our guests. Our local property managers are available to assist guests as needed. Please enjoy this special property.
Why they chose this property
Hemlock Haven sits on four acres with spectacular Blue Ridge Mountain views. The George Washington National Forest borders the property to the north, giving the cabin a nestled-in-the-woods feel. The property is .5 miles from the Shenandoah River where guests can enjoy kayaking, tubing, and canoeing. The Tuscarora Trail is within walking distance of the property, providing access to miles of hiking trails.
What makes this property unique
Hemlock Haven is a special retreat, perfect for small gatherings. Guests can enjoy the wood fireplace on the screened porch, beautiful views and stargazing from the view side deck, listening to the sounds of nature from the upper tree-house deck, or watching the rain on the front deck swing. After a workout in the lower-level gym, guests can enjoy the infrared sauna or the outdoor shower. The saloon on the lower level is a fun, western-themed game room, and entertainment space the entire family can enjoy. All the special spaces in this property make it truly a unique property.
