The house was good, comfortable, clean, and pictures were very accurate. Check in was easy and owners were responsive. The listing isn’t very clear that there is an individual living in a separate unit in the basement but they were no issues or any disturbances. It was Just was a bit hidden in the listing that this was a 2 unit house.

Wedding weekend

We were in the area for a wedding at Rixey Manor. The Hideaway was very close to the event location. We were able to rest and relax in between parties at the house and it had everything we needed. I’d loved the ironing board set up - very cute and convenient. Everything was very comfortable and we had a nice stay

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and comfortable. The deck is fantastic with lots of privacy and surrounding woods. The location was great for hiking in Shenandoah National Park and we visited nearby restaurants, wineries and a distillery.

Quiet Retreat for Our Family

We had an excellent stay at Hilltop Hideaway. The house was spotless, the beds comfortable, and the showers hot. The wrap around porch was the best though- great for quiet mornings shopping coffee, eating dinner at twilight, and looking at the stars in the evening.

Overall a good stay

The house served our purposes. There is a downstairs occupant that we were unaware of and don’t recall seeing anything about. There are also are no televisions in the house. I don’t recall seeing anything about that either. The master bedroom bed was nice and large but pretty uncomfortable. Over all, it was a nice stay for what we needed it for.
