About this property
Private Spacious Mountain Top Retreat:3BRs+Bonus Room, Fire Pit
Perfect spot to reconnect with family, friends & nature. 90 minutes from DC. Secluded 3.5 mountain acres. Sleep-in or rise early, be outdoors, or stay indoors - this place has something for everyone. Wake up to the sounds of nature and view of the mountains - even watch wildlife right outside the window. Enjoy freshly brewed coffee by the fireplace or on deck, play cornhole, board games, cozy up by the fire, swing, watch the sunset or the stars on the hammock. Lots of attractions nearby.
The space
A perfect spot to reconnect with what matters the most - family, friends, and nature, and disconnect from everyday stress. Whether you prefer to sleep in or wake up early, be outdoors or stay indoors, this place offers something for everyone.
Wake up to the sounds and view of nature from your bed - even see deer wandering close enough through the bedroom windows.
Enjoy a freshly brewed morning coffee by the propane fireplace or on the deck. Play cornhole outback or stay in for board games in the vaulted-ceiling grand hall. Enjoy sundown from the sunroom or on the swing upfront, gather around the fire pit and relax on the hammock out back and watch the stars.
If you like cooking, grill, bake or make your favorite dish. You are sure to find all the cooking necessities. Or eat out in one of the local restaurants!
Secluded, over 3.5 mountain acres and minutes away from local restaurants, shops, golf course, caverns, historical sites, and more.
90 minutes from DC, 20 minutes from Harrisonburg, and 5 minutes from I-81.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire mountain house and outdoor space. Enjoy your precious time there. Owner's storage closets are locked.
Other things to note

We are up in the mountains. To get to the cabin, the last 1 mile is a gravel road – most cars should be fine getting in and out. The last 50 yards is the steepest. My old Corolla with 250K miles makes it up every time. During snow, main roads and driveway are treated if snow is 4” or more. 4WD is recommended then.
We are on a well, water is filtered and treated; however, we encourage you to bring your drinking water as tap water may occasionally have a light smell of minerals.
Keep doors closed all the time to keep nature’s creatures out. Please also clean up crumbs, and do not leave any food outside. The house is surrounded by wildlife, do not tempt them by leaving food where it is accessible.
This is a NO SMOKING, NO PARTY/EVENTS, and NO PETS in this mountain house. County ordinance imposes quiet time from 9pm to 6am. Violations of these policies may result in immediate termination of the stay.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Adam

We are Sarah & Adam. We are both into travel & adventures, and we love going to cabins. We fell in love with the valley/mountains -years ago- and have been going to cabins frequently. We realize that time with our kids & families is so precious, so we wanted a big enough place to spend quality family time. El-Gabal Retreat was the result of that.
