Let me start by saying that the stay at Marc's beautiful home was amazing. Marc has been the best host that I have come across thus far, has thought through every detail that anyone would need and very responsive. Great location, river views from the deck and had everything stocked in the kitchen for a quick meal. We felt the country farm fresh eggs left in the kitchen added a personal touch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a getaway in the hills of Shenandoah !

We had a fabulous time. When we drove onto the property it more than lived up to expectations. The house was like a warm hug. The owner was very accommodating and timely with his responses. We will be back to make more memories if he will have us.

It was a very relaxing weekend, being close to Shenandoah National Park allowed for some great hiking. I also enjoyed getting out on the river with my kayak and getting some fishing in. All in all, it was a great getaway from work and the stress of life.

Great location. Great views. Very clean. All the restaurant referrals were good. We didn’t realize the second bedroom had its own entrance but we just used the sleeper couch on the main level since there were just two of us. Would stay here again.
