About this property

Modern Cabin on Old Rag -- Dog-Friendly!

Our place is close to the best mountain trails in Shenandoah National Park and numerous wineries. The cabin is great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets). Depending on the season, you can take advantage of our hot tub or private swimming hole. And regardless of the season, you'll be able to enjoy the nature that surrounds you from our large screened-in porch -- so you can experience all of the fresh air without any of the mosquitoes.

Our cabin is in the shadow of Old Rag Mountain, the most popular hike in Shenandoah National Park. It's a quick drive to the trailhead from our place. We're also a short drive from another fantastic but lesser-known hike: White Oak Canyon. And we're just a three-mile drive from DuCard Vineyards, which makes hyperlocal wines and has great musical entertainment on Saturdays. The nearby local institution, The Little Country Store, in Etlan can hook you up with pizza -- and BBQ if you're there the right day.

There is limited cellular service in this part of the Shenandoah Valley. For those who must remain connected to the outside world, we offer Starlink satellite internet with Youtube TV and other streaming services. We do not have a landline, but you can make phone calls by enabling Wi-Fi calling on your cell phone before your trip. This is a free feature that most modern cell phones offer.

We have Starlink Wi-Fi Internet, with average speeds of 30–200 Mbps ↓ and 10–35 Mbps ↑. It is good enough for streaming and Zoom and other video conferencing, although speeds can be sporadic at times.

Hidden Gem
We decided to stay near Shenandoah NP on a whim. We were looking for some place new. WOW!!! Not only did we pick a fantastic destination, but the Ragged Run Roost was the perfect place to stay! It was beautiful…nestled in the outskirts of the NP. We enjoyed everything about the place. We had 2 dogs, and the screened in deck was perfect! No need to worry about them getting loose. I would highly recommend to anyone, and would most definitely stay again!

Total Get Away!
Secluded but well equipped for some down time, this property was exactly what we were looking for. Yes, it is remote, but there are wineries and historic sites within easy driving distance. Very comfortable stay.

Truly amazing
What's not to love about this cabin and property. Everything was perfect, The porch was amazing to sit and relax after a long hike in the mountains. The place was cozy, we felt right at home from the beginning of our stay, had such a great time we stayed a extra day. The watering hole was also awesome, our dog Zeus loved it. would definitely recommend!

Relaxing
Our stay was as relaxing as we were hoping it would be! Exploring the property, nearby hikes, sitting on the screened in porch listening to the rain was the vacation we needed. The house is very inviting and homey. Our hound dog loved sitting on the porch watching for activity and our teenager daughter survived with limited internet for the week. owners were easy to reach and quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful
Comfortable bed, high pressure shower, screened in porch and hot tub under the stars. This cabin is outstanding. Loved the little country store down the road, had everything we needed and great sandwiches. Everything was spotless in the cabin and the surroundings were gorgeous. Definitely want to come back.

My husband and I are avid trail runners who love running up and down the mountains of Virginia (and wherever we travel).

Why they chose this property

We fell hard for this cabin property after our friends purchased it and hosted many a post-run feast. We were delighted to be able to buy the cabin from them and are excited to continue making memories on Old Rag with our friends and young son. We're sharing the property with you in the hope that you'll create unforgettable memories of Shenandoah during your stay, too!
