My friend and I stayed here for a weekend and had the most wonderful time. The screened in back patio with a fire place was a perfect spot to truly relax in the morning and evenings. And it’s only a 20 minute drive to Shenandoah national park, as well as several other great places to go to. The host was also super lovely and gave us great recommendations. We will definitely be coming back.

Great Getaway Cabin

Unique cabin situated in a quiet, beautiful location. We used the cabin as basecamp to explore the Shenandoah NP and surrounding area. Owner was very helpful with lots of tips on what to do and where to go. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our host, Patrick, was friendly and a font of information. The cabin was a magical oasis in the mountains. Clean, pretty, beautifully appointed. The fire on the patio on a cold morning was serene, the bed was comfortable, and we slept well.

Great Property

Property owner gave us great advice to visit the nearby grand caverns vice driving up to Luray. The caverns were great and closer proximity allowed us additional time to make a JMU campus visit.

Nice Stay in Elkton

Patrick is a great host. We were in town for my daughter's graduation from JMU. The cabin was a great alternative from the usual motels in Harrisonburg and was a short 25 minute drive to JMU. Very peaceful place to relax and hike.

Winter Break Getaway

Very peaceful setting with extremely gracious hosts! The cabin has a lovely back porch and everything we needed for our stay. Note that the kitchen doesn't have an oven but is stocked with a microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker/Keurig, and even an air fryer! The hosts gave us great restaurant recommendations, and there is a ton to do and see in the area!

Fall trip

Patrick and his wife were definitely the best hosts we have ever had! The warm welcomes with dinner and activity recommendations was very much appreciated! The house was very relaxing with amazing views off the porch! The trip ended with a gift bag of homemade banana nut muffins which were so delicious! Would highly recommend staying at the Miles Retreat!

Excellent oasis experience!

Patrick and Yaya were super friendly, responsive and were very accommodating to us. They were very knowledgeable about the area and gave excellent recommendations on places to visit and dine. The property was clean, well furnished, nice and toasty and super private. We can't wait to head back to this cabin! We highly recommend this private oasis. 5 Star *

Host was very friendly and tried to be helpful. However, the toilet was in need of repair and properly secured to the floor. We were kept awake most of the night the second night we were there with some sort of bird practicing his mating call… very loud and constant loud squawking. There is not a lot of room and no table to eat on if it is cold as the only table is outside on the screened in porch. Also, we had no code to lock the property when we left for the day as we were just told the property would be unlocked when we arrived and to text for a code to lock up when we were ready to leave. The day we left we were given the code and then told not to use it? Our host lived right next door and on a whole the property was clean and conveniently located to Shenandoah Park.

Awesome cabin for a weekend away!

The property was gorgeous. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Patrick was extremely kind and helpful. He gave us several recommendations for food and activities in the area which were all incredible! Not a far drive from the national park and is a good property to stay in if you are looking to explore the park. I highly recommend staying here!
