About this property

Scenic mountain getaway with a firepit and amazing views

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway with beautiful mountain views. Enjoy watching the horses framed by scenic mountains from this private mountain home located only 13 miles from the Shenandoah National Park Swift Run Gap entrance. The front porch with rocking chairs, the deck with a barbecue, and the large yard with a stone firepit makes the outdoor enjoyment even better. The road up to the house is a gravel winding mountain road. If there is snow you will need 4-wheel drive. We consider this place a getaway so there is no Wi-fi or tv plan. You can use a cell phone and set up a hot spot for fast internet and smart tv.

Quiet House in the Woods
Place is as advertised, well off the beaten path and makes for a nice get away. Reasonable drive to great hiking as well as a few breweries and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay.

Great little mountain adventure
It had everything we needed. We did manage to get a little bit of a signal but be prepared with some downloaded stuff. It was cool to wake up and look out and see horses out the window.

Great Value, Great Views
The stay at Brian's place is worth the drive up the dirt road to get there. I am glad we got there the first day before dark. The property and house were a pleasant surprise, given the location. We had everything we needed to cook meals there and have restful sleeps. We hiked Rose River Loop trail and White Oak Lower Falls trail on Brian's suggestion. Both reasonable driving distance and both great ways to experience Shenandoah.

Great Cabin!
We had a great stay! The view was spectacular and seeing the horses with our 2 year old was a hit. The cabin was clean, spacious and adequately stocked with kitchen supplies. The drive was easy and it was close to Shenandoah National Park. We will definitely stay again if we’re in the area!
