About this property

Charming 3bed-2bath home near JMU, RMH, downtown, and Massanutten ski resort

Exhale all your stress as you turn onto the beautifully paved driveway surrounded by gorgeous tall trees, as the sprawling front and back yards provide lots of shade and privacy. This unique property has recent updates of new lighting, new decor, and comfortable furniture. Kitchen is stocked with all you need to prepare meals - wine fridge and stainless appliances (stove/oven dishwasher, and french door refrigerator). Get a good night’s sleep in one of three bedrooms, each with a queen bed, brand new mattress and soft, inviting bedding. Two full baths, each with a bath/shower combo. Kids can enjoy ping pong or darts in the basement downstairs (also where the washer/dryer are located). Enjoy a glass of your chilled wine or a freshly brewed cup of coffee from our stocked coffee center. Grab one of our soft throws and sit on the quiet/private back porch or take a rest on the front porch while gazing at nature's beauty. When you do shower or soak in one of two tubs, don a hot towel from the towel warmer! Home is centrally located - 3 miles to JMU or downtown Harrisonburg, only a short drive to Massanutten ski resort and various Shenandoah river accesses for kayaking, or a bit longer to visit Skyline Drive for scenic drives and/or hiking!

The host was very welcoming and responsive. I really appreciated the coziness of the home and it was a great layout for our family since the main residence was a single floor.I did feel like there were some areas of the home that didn't seem well-maintained and could use some better upkeep.

Kimberly is great to work with and very accommodating! This was a great place for us because of the open kitchen and living space and generous counter space that made it great to toss hand crafted pizzas .. electric oven got hot enough to blister the crust!!! great layout for the pups who loved exploring the fenced in yard!! Kimberly .. we will be back if you’re still in the game next year!! Many thanks again for your hospitality!!

3 day Getaway in the Shenandoah Valley

Clean, comfortable, well equipped house was perfect for our visit to Harrisonburg. We enjoyed spending time on the back deck and our dog enjoyed playing in the yard. Fenced in yard was nice. Location is great, near many stores and restaurants. And only a short drive to hiking and mountain bike trails!

Great place but be careful letting your dog loose in the backyard

We had a great time at the house - it's quirky but comfortable. There were several holes and a lot of poison ivy in the back yard, so just be careful letting a dog or kids roam around unsupervised.
