The Drive
The one mile dirt road to get to our cabin is not state owned. It’s not steep, but it is full of potholes. Slow and steady will get you to the cabin. You do not need a truck or 4 wheel drive. HOWEVER- months where snow is in the forecast will require 4 wheel drive, as we do not know when or if someone will be able to plow. Parking is unlimited.

Guest access
• Keyless entry. As our guest you will have full access to our 3000+
sq ft home, and 3 acres of wooded property

Security
For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, Bluebird Hill Cabin is equipped with three security cameras. One camera is dedicated to capturing activity at the front door, another is positioned to monitor the driveway, and the third is located on the basement porch, focusing on the door.
Most importantly, no cameras are placed inside the house, underscoring our strong commitment to prioritizing both your safety and privacy.

Pets
• $20 per pet, per night
. Well behaved dogs older than 1 and up to date on flea & tick
preventative medicine will be considered
• Limited to 2 dogs
• Large and small crate, dog beds and bowls provided
• NOTE: $100 per pet charge if you neglect to inform us that you
are bringing a pup along

So Much to Do
• Canoe/ Kayak/ Raft – Do you know? Front Royal is the Canoe
Capital of Virginia! Rent or bring your own.
• Skyline Drive- Hiking and biking is great, but you can also just
DRIVE. Lots of places to stop and picnic.
• Stargaze- The night sky comes alive at our cabin in the woods.
• Sit and Stare- The Mountain View is ever changing with the
weather and seasons. It is always a good time to sit and stare. We
do not have water access, but we have a great view of the
Shenandoah River in late fall and winter. You can hear the water
flowing from the cabin.
• Fire pit with wood provided- Nothing like a good Kumbaya at the
end of a perfect day.
• Wine- Lots of wineries within 30-40 minutes of the cabin.
• Beer- Some breweries are in the area and more are popping up
yearly.
• Hike / Bike- Skyline drive, Shenandoah State Park and Andy Guest
State Park are short drives away.
• Dinosaurs- Dinosaur Land. A silly destination for the young dino
fan.
• History- Check out the digital guidebook
• Golf- Our digital guidebook has personal notes on our favorite
courses. $-$$$.
• Bird watching- When the bears are napping, we will leave you
some bird seed. Lots of marked bird watching trails are close by.
• Caverns- The simplistic Skyline Caverns is close by. The larger and
more colorful Luray Caverns is approximately 30-40 minutes.
• Absolutely Nothing- You can do everything or nothing at all. Your
vacation, your choice.

Noteworthy stuff
• No traffic noise, no street lights. Come to relax with family, friends
and nature.
This is not a typical "rental". It is owner managed and has
everything you will need to call it home for the short time you are
here.
• It may seem a world away, but our cabin is really very close to
everything. 15-30 minutes away from Skyline Drive, wineries,
caverns, hiking, biking, golf, antiquing, history, festivals and so
much more.

Why they chose this property

About us.
My sister, my husband and I looked and looked for quite some time for a mountain retreat to call our very own. After months of not finding exactly what we wanted, we decided to build from scratch.
Our cabin demands- We wanted a beautiful mountain view! We did not want to hear any traffic or see any city lights. We wanted 3 master suites. We didn’t want to be scared out of our wits driving to get there. (We can tell you, there are a lot of crazy, steep roads leading to some of the houses in the area)
What started out as a “cabin” quickly turned into a full blown house.

Bluebird Hill - Named for our parents because of their love / hate relationship with Bluebirds. They had a Bluebird box complete with said bird outside of their bedroom for years. It wasn’t until my dad passed away that a Bluebird started pecking at my mom’s window. Obnoxiously! It’s a common behavior, but my mother insisted that my dad had come back just to irritate her.

Our mom has since passed away, but we wanted to always remember. So that’s how we came up with the place and the name. We proceeded to put up a couple of bluebird houses, and what do you know? We had one move in a couple of years ago! Hi Dad! (Stay away from the cabin windows, please)

After enjoying our cabin with family and friends, we have made the decision to share our home with others.
We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Welcome to Bluebird Hill.





What makes this property unique

Bluebird Hill is a real getaway location. If you want to be close to activities (20 minutes) but far enough away that you will have total solitude for rest and relaxation. The house is large enough for everyone to have their own space and the common areas are super comfortable.
