Overall, it was an okay experience. However, there were certain aspects of the place that need some work. There was definitely an ant problem in the kitchen and master bathroom. There was no body soap to be found. Recommend having white sheets and towels to ensure cleanliness. The towels provided were very stained and old. Would also recommend cleaning up the wooded area on the perimeter. The umbrella on the back patio is broken.

Our family loved this property. The woodsy property lines made it feel more secluded and the homeowner was very helpful offering restaurant and hike options! I loved the hummingbirds in the trees out front!

Wonderful home-quiet yet convenient!

My husband and I stayed in this home for our annual anniversary trip. We love hiking and brought our dog with us for some active relaxation. This home was one of the best we have stayed in. It had everything we needed, and was clean and comfortable. Conveniently located about 15 minutes from Front Royal where there was plenty to do; yet also steps away from a trail in the neighborhood, which intersects with the AT. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
