The grass needed cutting, the ceiling fan light chain was broken, couldn't leave the fan on, no toaster as advertised, no coffee filters for the coffee maker, the grill needs replacing, had a hard time cooking on it, was all lopsided. Firepit and grill we're not cleaned out. Both were full of ash, the fire pit had wet wood in it and the grill was full of wet charcoal and ash. Had a blast with the neighbors.

We had a really unique and memorable stay! The yurt’s location and grounds were stunning so close to the river. We are avid tent campers so it felt fancy being in a yurt. Being centrally located to Shenandoah made it extra special and easy to visit the local sites. The bathhouse was convenient, and the host was friendly and responsive. The only downsides were the super uncomfortable bed and the showers, which may be difficult if you’re sensitive to sulfur smells. Overall, a beautiful setting and a one-of-a-kind experience! This would’ve been perfect with some upgrades for comfort.

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay! For future guests knowledge … bed has been replaced! As for sulphur in well water … sometimes stronger smelling than others and I always recommend bringing drinking water. While our water is potable lots of folks don’t like the taste of well water. Years back folks traveled for many miles to come soak in sulphur springs in this area - say good for joints. We do treat the water and I do my very best to keep the smell at a minimum. For most it’s always bearable. Annette

Love the yurt!

We had a great time in the Painted Horse yurt. The yurt was very clean and had electricity, a mini fridge, a/c, a deck, picnic table, fire pit, and grill. The bathrooms are very close and also clean. The owner Annette was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The only downside was that you are close to the road and can hear/see the cars go by, but the lakeside view was worth it.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! The Shenandoah River does offer picturesque views similar to a lake setting although I never thought of it this way. Hope to see you again! Thank you for the wonderful compliments. Annette Cates

Birthday Weekend

We truly enjoyed our weekend at the Hummingbird Yurt! We got to the campsite after dark and it was so great not to have to set up a tent! Being so close to the river, my family was able to fish, play, read and relax whenever we wanted, which made for an amazing birthday weekend for my husband! There were other families also camping that weekend and all the kids enjoyed “hunting for ghosts”, although they weren’t able to catch any! We will definitely be returning!

Great property on the banks of the river. Dedicated tables, grills and firepits for each yurt. Clean bathhouse. Wish we could have stayed longer. Only thing not perfect was a squeeky bed

Great way to spend a 2020 holiday!

My family and I just got back from our stay at the hummingbird yurt. Given that it was nearly winter, we didn’t do any tubing or get in the water. The yurt was comfortable enough for 4 of us, but I’m glad we didn’t bring the dog too, or we would have been stuffed in there. We were plenty warm, but unfortunately the showers were pretty cold. She did warn about, although the sink trick didn’t work tok well.

Perfect get away. Yurts to get hot during the day, but that's what the river is for!

Well maintained and marketed with honesty about issues like the sulfur smelling water. Beautiful spot. We had a grand time fishing and swimming with the dog.

Wonderful Getaway

A beautiful property on the river! We loved the yurt and how cozy it was. All of the provided amenities were fantastic! Close to stores for easy shopping, if required. Very close to some amazing hiking trails. Bathrooms and showers were very clean! Easy to buy firewood on site. Loved our visit and will definitely go back!
