Mike and I are so excited to share our amazing Shenandoah escape with you. We both served in the Army and traveled the world. Retired now, we are traveling the USA. We originally built our log home as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of our DC area jobs after the Army. Now we are happy to share this special place with our guests. Our local property managers are available to assist guests as needed. Please enjoy this special property.
