About this property

The Great Escape - Near everything yet off the beaten path

Located in the Shenandoah Valley our cabin is located on a quiet street on a 1/2 acre lot. The backyard is fenced for big and small dogs. On the back porch is a nice gas grill. A few steps down is a hot tub. The hot tub is nice especially when returning home from a day of hiking in the Shenandoah National Park which is only 20 minutes away. Inside the home are two bedrooms, each with a king size bed. We furnish wireless internet and satellite TV. I will email you a list of activities that are all close to our cabin. There is something for everyone at The Great Escape.

Cozy, convenient & well-equipped

One of my best ever VRBO experiences! This is a lovely, well-designed house with top-notch kitchen appliances, nice porch & deck, gas grill & hot tub. We were two older couples getting together and going to see the sights in Shenandoah National Park. For hikers, there's an entrance to George Washington National Forest just a few yards from the house. The hosts were gracious, helpful and very responsive. Highly recommend this VRBO!

Beautiful getaway cabin!

I stayed here with my dog for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it! The neighborhood is nice and quiet and the views from the cabin and the street are breathtaking. The cabin is well stocked with everything one could need and the fenced yard was great for my dog!

Stress fred

The cabin and grounds were extremely neat and clean. Host tried to think of everything imaginable to make your stay comfortable. Was very happy to see the backyard so closely fenced in. I have little dogs and was afraid they could escape, but it was very secure. Neighbors are a lot closer than I anticipated but it wasn’t a problem. Lots of loose dogs walking around this relatively rural neighborhood. that was my only knock on the property. Recommended it to my daughter for the fall.

Cousins' Weekend

This home is simply perfect. Clean, cozy, and charming. Sumptuous beds and linens, the hot tub under the stars, and morning coffee on the porch. It was just what we needed. Our hosts were on top of everything, including my request that the AC be on when we arrived on a hot afternoon. Thanks, Don and Lina
