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.

Beautiful property! Fantastic fishing!

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable visit and Marc was a great host. This stretch of the Shenandoah is loaded with smallmouth bass for those looking to catch some fish.

Perfect family getaway for Shenandoah NP

We enjoyed the cozy cabin for our family of 5! Well stocked, clean. Owner was easy to get ahold of and helpful. The accommodation allowed a bit of separation from our kids (nice on a long road trip). There was one bedroom upstairs and one in a completely separate space downstairs. Would also be great for two families as both sections had a pullout sofa bed and their own full bathroom. About 1 hour drive from hikes in the central section of the national park.
