It was a nice, quiet, cozy cabin. There are a few neighbors but they're far enough away to still have some privacy. We woke up every morning to a herd of deer and group of turkeys in the field across from the cabin. The nights are very quiet and dark, perfect for a marshmallow roast at the fire pit.

That cabin is lovely and has a great view of the river from the deck area. The steps are a bit steep but we didn't have any trouble. The kitchen is very well equipment with plenty of dishes and pots and pans.

A Breeze

Everything was easy: check in, temperature control, cooking, resting, and finding activities. Too cold for canoeing unfortunately, but we loved the view of the river nonetheless! Great for mountain goer's of all experience levels.

Picture Perfect Views

We had a wonderful time relaxing and unplugging at this adorable cabin. The views were beautiful and the cabin was very clean. We were near lots of hiking trails but yet close enough to town for restaurants and shops.

Family Trip

It was an amazing weekend, we enjoyed being able to fish, take out the water boats, and sit around the fire. The cabin is the perfect size and very cozy. The host was amazing and even helped once we left something behind to get it back to us.

Spring Break Enjoyment

The owner, Derek, was able to manage our needs while helping with a nearby fire on the mountain. We were impressed at the level of dedication shown as we felt like he was very accomodating to our needs. We'd recommend this place for anyone that wants a quiet get-away.

Christmas cabin

This was our Christmas gift to each other and my husband and I (and our dog!) loved staying at this cozy cabin while doing some hiking at Shenandoah NP. There was even a Christmas tree! The cabin was clean, comfortable and charming. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and cooking dinners each night in the kitchen. Despite it being a little chilly we enjoyed the porch and the fire pit. Our dog loved being able to swim in the river right on the property! We would love to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the outdoor spaces more. Thank for a great stay!

We did stay there for Christmas with my wife and two friends. The cabin is clean and very appealing. There was a nice Christmas tree that made the place even more festive and cozy. Communication with the host is excellent. The location is great as well. Will return in the future.
