Stunning views from any spot on the deck. We found the house very comfortable and it had everything you would need for a nice vacation. We tackled the driveway with our Ford Taurus and it was no problem at all. But we're no stranger to mountain driveways.

Perfect getaway

As always everything was wonderful on Helms Mountain. Peaceful, relaxing, and the electric fireplace made it cozy on the cold nights. Hot tub was the best way to start the day and also finish the day under the stars.

This property was just what we were looking for. Clean, cozy, well-equipped and right in the middle of the mountains. The hot tub late at night on a very starry night was a special treat. Great hiking at Shenandoah!

Mountain Family Vacation

Greatly enjoyed our family vacation in the mountains. Property was very nice, private and clean. Driveway to property very steep, doable in an SUV but would be challenging in a car or low riding vehicle. Hot tub on deck with mountain views can’t be beat!

This was undoubtedly the best stay I’ve had. Views were incredible! Cabin was the cleanest of any I’ve been at. Pretty much everything was provided. I have zero complaints. Only 12 miles from Shenandoah. Communication and instructions were top notch. If you’re looking for a secluded, romantic getaway, this is the place.

Best cabin ever

If you are looking for peace and quiet, stargazing, bird watching, or just mountain wildlife then this is the place. I’ve seen bunnies and bobcats and bears. Deer, wild turkeys and beautiful birds. If you sit out back away from the front light the stars are amazing and in the summer the lightning bugs put on a show. Ashok, thank you for replacing the hair dryer, that was really nice, and the new panel on the hot tub made a big difference. It was perfect, hot and the jets had great power. Also thank you for all you patience teaching me to book online. Can’t wait till it’s available to book 2024.

Disappointed in the cabin

View was spectacular. Everything else was not up to par. Everything outside was dirty rusted and not taken care of. It doesn't take much to update. Also there was hair filled in the drain shower. Disgusting!

Needs help

Beautiful location once you get up the drive way. Maintenace on the outside lacking, Deck hasn't seen stain in a long time. Hot tub cover has multiple tears. Key entry instructions confusing. Over the commode rack placed to far forward, causing lid to fall while using. Some of the wash clothes provided where just pain wore out. Patio furniture faded and rusty. Grass not cut.

Beautiful location

Everything was very clean and the views are next to none. The trek up to the cabin was absolutely breath taking also. Privacy was amazing the nature surrounding you, watching fireflies at night was one of the highlights, I haven’t seen them since I was a kid. Definitely will be back.

Seclusion and amazing views!

If you want to be off the beaten path away from civilization this is the place for you! Don't stress about the drive up the hill to the house, it is steep but not terribly difficult. Just take your time. Amazing views and fun to explore the property, there is a small stream down the hill.

Spectacular view, quiet stay

A wonderful, relaxing stay to visit family nearby. The home and property are very clean and well tended. I admit though, after going up the driveway in the Prius, we stayed put. Family came over for dinner and it was lovely. We made the driveway without incident, but I don’t recommend it in a Prius.

A fun mountainside getaway

The accommodations were exceptional. The manager was easily reachable. The views and locale were stunning, and the location was also conveniently located near Luray Caverns and Skyline Drive. The road getting up to the getaway was doable in our Corolla, but we would suggest using an SUV or other higher clearance vehicle (and to travel on the road leading there during daylight hours). We really enjoyed our experience, and look forward to coming again!

Helms Mountain Getaway - A Clean Cabin with a View!

We stayed for 3 nights during a trip to Shenandoah and really liked this cabin. Everything was neat and tidy when we arrived. The fully appointed kitchen, ample clean linens, bonfire pit, and hot tub made our stay very enjoyable. As one small piece of hopefully constructive feedback, the dryer took several cycles to dry our clothes. Might be time for a new one. This definitely didn't detract from our enjoyment of the trip/location though!
