What a cute little bungalow and a gorgeous view! Had everything we needed for a 2-night getaway. Had not been to this area in Virginia, and this was the perfect "home base" to do some exploring. Would recommend a stay here!

A Charming Retro Escape with Stunning Views!We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy Retro Bungalow! The nostalgic, retro vibe was a delightful blast from the past, and the breathtaking view from the deck made every moment feel special. The space was clean, well-equipped, and the little touches —like the bar cart and classic decor—added to the charm.The location was perfect for relaxing and exploring nearby trails, and the hosts were incredibly responsive. If you’re looking for a peaceful, unique getaway with a touch of vintage flair, this is the place to be!

What an absolute WONDERFUL stay! This was actually our second trip to this little Peace of Heaven; the first trip being in March 2025 and now this one in March 2026. This trip was just as perfect as the first one! This little house is just precious and cozy and such a relaxing place to stay. The house is so clean and stocked with so many useful things that you might need during your visit. The hosts, Pete and Darlene, really think of everything! And the view........ WOW!!! Amazing does not even describe it! I would recommend staying here in a heartbeat!!!!!
