A slice of heaven

We enjoyed a relaxing drive to Front Royal, VA, excited about the VRBO we had chosen near the Shenandoah River. It did not disappoint--a large, beautiful, and comfortable home with many amenities that made our stay stress free and truly enjoyable. The house was clean and well-appointed to include a car fast charger! Information on local sites made our excursions easy to plan and the owner was quick to respond when we had any questions. Would stay here again anytime!

Perfect Getaway

The house was amazing! It was just what we needed for a Father’s Day getaway. The place was super clean and very nicely decorated. The views of the mountains and river were wonderful. We will definitely be booking again!

Lovely stay in a comfortable home

We greatly enjoyed visiting the area and found the property comfortable and the host welcoming. Before check in, we were provided with clear instructions on all items related to the home as well as a number of useful recommendations in terms of local restaurants and activities. There were a couple of minor repairs needed including to the gas fireplace and there was a small hole in the kitchen floor but these did not interfere with our enjoyment of our stay.

Front Royal House

We stayed 2 nights as we wanted to go hiking in Shenandoah. The place was new, clean and each bedroom has a bathroom. My only complaint (and this is not a reflection on the property) was that what was initially a reasonable price for 2 nights ended up costing more than 50 % additional in cleaning and VRBO fees. If you are staying a. week, it would be worth it but for 2 days, we should have booked a hotel (our bad).

Looks good from the road...

Bathrooms and bedrooms were good. Otherwise, the condition was poor. It's as though nobody cleaned after the last guests. Filthy grill unusable. Moldy coffee grounds in the coffee maker. Broken toys and appliances on the floor. Screens fallen off windows and not fixed. Never seen anything like this in years of VRBO patronage.

Great Getaway

Check in and out were very low maintenance and easy. The owners were easy to contact and the house was very clean and all of the amenities worked as expected. The home is beautiful and has a beautiful view from the balcony. It’s also in a convenient location if you want to find activities like wineries, etc. The only issue was there were a lot of lady bugs and stink bugs in the home. The hot tub also could have been cleaner. And the house was hard to navigate to using the actual address. The owner provided an alternate address and instructions that were much better though. I would still recommend it to others.

Fantastic Stay!!

My family and I loved staying at this house. It had everything you could ever need. The beds were very comfortable, the living areas spacious, and the deck very expansive. The solo stove was a nice amenity to have. The check-in process was very easy and the recommendations for nearby activities and food were excellent. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice!

Great house with nice views. Very convenient to Skyline Drive. Clean, modern interior with beautiful decor and comfortable furnishings/beds. Kitchen was very well-stocked. The game table in the upstairs loft was a big hit!

Great for Family Gatherings

We gathered as a family to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in this beautiful home. The home is pristine with amazing views of the sunrise as you enjoy your coffee sitting on the deck of this home. The kitchen is a chef's dream with all necessary cooking supplies, including a robust spice collection. I could not recommend this property highly enough.

Perfect pet friendly retreat with all of the comforts of home tucked away in the Shenandoah!

Communication with the property owners was excellent. The place is gorgeous and is located by the Northern entrance of Shenandoah National Park. Beautiful space, the pictures do NOT do it justice. Located close to Washington DC and just minutes to Skyline Drive and the National Park. We loved the location and the views were breathtaking. Appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and small touches like travel toiletries available if you forgot yours. Will definitely visit again!

Wonderful

This house was a great place to stay for so many reasons. Our trip was two couples and my (disabled) mother in law. The first floor main bedroom was perfect for her, and the upstairs space was good if we wanted to get away. The house also came equipped with so many little, important things. Spices, seating options, books, even firewood. It is close to town and things to do but far enough away for the quiet. The view from the hot tub at night is wonderful. The occasional train or plane going by somehow even felt special.

Reunion w friends

We stayed in this gorgeous home in Front Royal not far from a college friend's home on the river where we met daily for a mini college reunion. It was the perfect spot to enjoy all of the beauty of this part of Va. Very modern. Brand new, beautifully decorated and so comfortable. Perfect!!!
