Great home base for our daughter’s wedding.
Bare Necessities was a great mountain home for our family to stay while preparing for our Daughters wedding in Luray over the weekend and a great place to relax afterwards for a few days! Very well accommodated and extremely clean! Thank you!
A beautiful home in a lovely location. Sitting on the porch watching deer graze just in front of the house was a delight. The house itself is spacious and well equipped and very comfortable. Perfect getaway in Shenandoah Valley.
This lovely mountain home was the perfect setting for a long weekend away! It's convenient to hiking trails, caverns, charming towns, and more. The owners provided helpful recommendations to take full advantage of nearby attractions and restaurants. The home offers modern amenities while maintaining a cozy feel. Their thoughtful touches and attention to detail make your stay comfortable. We would love to visit again!
Loved this location! Had an amazing weekend in the snow. The dog loved the trails around the property and we had a lovely time just being in the space. Would highly recommend this property and host!
It was the perfect distance to meet family members...we are from Upstate NY and they are from NC. The cabin was lovely and cozy. The property was secluded and private. We really enjoyed our stay and will return.
We stayed at the home for a long weekend away and loved it so much! The house is beautiful and well equipped. Any questions we had were answered quickly by the host. The area is really beautiful and we even spotted a little fox and wild turkeys nearby. Highly recommend!
This home was beautiful and equipped with everything we could need. The setting in the woods was private and relaxing. The location is convenient to both New Market and Woodstock. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises.
This property was first rate in every way. My 19 year old son and I stayed for two nights while visiting Shenandoah National Park. The house is just as it appears in the listing, everything in great condition, basic supplies (coffee, dish liquid, shampoo, etc) properly stocked. Very pleasant comfortable home. Modern up to date cabin with high ceilings creating very open roomy feeling. It was a bit further from the entry to the National Park than I expected. It was about 25 minutes, but it was a simple pleasant drive. I expect to return to this property.
We had a very relaxing time here! Our check-in was very simple and quick. The hosts provided pretty much anything you would need (and more). Our children particularly enjoyed the array of games provided. Thanks and God bless!
This was the perfect place to stay for our small family. We loved the quiet mornings and evening. We didn't spend our afternoons there because we were hiking and going on adventures. This place has everything you will need for a short or long trip. Thank you, Mary, for all of your communication and we look forward to staying here again!
The cabin was beautiful and has absolutely everything you might need. We had a small accident the first night and the host made sure to check on us and offer recommendations, she was very sweet and you can tell that she truly cares about your experience. The location is amazing, a lot to do around. I will be recommending this place to everyone. Thank you!
