The property is 20 miles from the Thornton Gap Entrance of Skyline Drive. Skyline Drive is a 105-mile road that runs the entire length of the Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The drive provides access to numerous trails, including the Appalachian Trail, and it is also used for biking and horseback riding. Skyline Drive is the main road through Shenandoah National Park and has access to campgrounds, visitor centers, and resorts such as Skyland Resort and Big Meadows. The scenic drive is particularly popular in the fall for leaf peeping when the leaves are changing colors. Skyline Drive website: https://visitskylinedrive.org/

Great Stay
The host was excellent! We had a minor issue with the refrigerator, but the host promptly resolved the issue. This carriage house was beautiful and very well maintained. The area was beautiful as well, and not far from two entrances to the Shenandoah National Park. I will definitely come back here!

Wonderful Retreat
We were looking to decompress after the holidays, and this property was perfect! Beautiful views, warm, friendly hosts, and so close to Luray and Shenandoah National Park. We were able to drink in some nature and relax. Loved the chickens and the cows. Thank you to our host, Chip, for the delicious, fresh eggs. Would definitely recommend.

A peaceful and lovely retreat
The accommodations and location were perfect! I was looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, and this abode was absolutely serene. Plus, the interiors were so cozy, and I loved how the host set the ambience to be really welcoming. Also, for anyone wanting to cook, this is THE place. The kitchen is fully loaded, and the host even offered to lend anything else I might need for my cooking purposes. I would definitely go back!

Lovely country retreat
We used this place as a home base when visiting Shenandoah national park. The grounds are beautiful and the apartment is perfect for 2-4 people. It’s cozy, was very warm on chilly November evenings and was very quiet inside, and has everything I could have thought of. The host was very easy going and kind! 5/5 would definitely recommend
