Fabulous Sunsets and Awesome Accomodations

We stayed for five days over the 4th! House was Super clean and lovely, well stocked, fluffy towels and comfy bedding. Hot tub was wonderful. The highlights are the views and the sunsets! Nancy was a great hostess and checked in to be sure we were having a great time! We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful view

We held our annual scrapbooking retreat here and loved it - beautiful views to inspire us. The house is comfortable and has plenty of space for all of us and our supplies. We are hoping to go back next year! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

A Perfect Family Friendly Shenandoah Retreat

We had a wonderful time at the Chalet. We were two families, each with two young kids, and it was perfect for us. There was plenty of space, the layout was well designed and the rooms were tastefully decorated while being fully functional. TVs everywhere helped keep the kiddos entertained when they weren’t working on art projects in the fabulous scrapbooking room. The location was secluded and peaceful, while being near enough to everything we needed, as well as Shenandoah National Park and the Luray Caverns. And the hot tub on a cold winter night with a glass of wine after the kiddos went to bed, was the perfect way to end the day. Suffice it to say we had a great time. Thank you very much to Nancy, who was very attentive and a true pleasure to work with.

Exceptional Scrapbook House

We had a lovely time. Owner thought of just about everything with the home. Only a few recommendations...switch the two bedrooms upstairs (3 twins and 1 queen rooms) so that there is more walking space for the 3 twins. Room it is in now is very tight but the queen would fit nicer in this room. Wasps were very bad around handrails of the ramp so making sure those are removed at all times would be great - we had two wasp sting victims! Microwave cover for the food being heated up to avoid splatter. Make sure all lights are working and bulbs work as there were several throughout the home out. Snakes were seen on the property so be careful. They were near the ramp where there is lumber stored and damp cool area. Pave driveway as we had a lot of cars unable to make it up without a good head start up! Other than that we enjoyed ourselves tremendously! Thank you!

Sunsets - period.

What a lovely little property. The views from the deck, or inside, during sunset are pretty ridiculous. Great place to chill out and listen to the wind blow and watch the sun sink while the stars rise...

The property was just as described, spectacular views. Lovely accommodations, you won’t be roughing it. The incline to the home was part of the fun! Be sure to read all the owners expectations and there won’t be any disappointments.

AMAZING CHALET

This is the 3rd year my friends and I have rented a 4 day weekend in March for scrapbooking. Nancy’s house is awesome and the views of the mountains are beautiful from the huge windows. The house is clean and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking your meals. The hot tub is very will maintained and clean and we enjoyed that at night looking at the beautiful mountain scenery. This is a great place to relax and enjoy your friends and family.

We had tried to get an opening here for a while. I see why it’s so popular. It’s has everything. A fully stocked kitchen to the margarita maker. Let’s not forget the view and hot tub. We also took advantage of a massage therapist coming out to the cabin and this was icing on the cake. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back.

Nice location, beautiful views, sleeps 8 comfortably, crafting space better for 8, house is well stocked, and ramp to downstairs is a little steep but expected for the location. We had a great time and would rent again.

Wonderful girls weekend

We just left this beautiful home yesterday. What great views from a comfortable home. Cozy family room seating was made even better with the Christmas decorations and the glow of the fire after a gorgeous sunset! And the crafting space was awesome! Looking out over the valley was so peaceful. We enjoyed scrapbooking together with an option to curl up with a book (or kindle) on the couch. We enjoyed happy hour (loving the margarita machine!) and meals in the kitchen/dining room. The sleeping accommodations worked well for 10 and the beds were very comfortable. A wonderful weekend. Well worth the 3+ hour trip! Will definitely look at returning in the future.

Awesome Girls Weekend

This is our third year at this house and we love it. The house is great with stunning views. We love that we can spread out and have room for all of our activities: scrapbooking, reading, getting massages, watching football and baseball, taking naps and hanging out in the hot tub. What more can you ask for???!! Nancy is very easy to work with and has always been accommodating. We are already booked for 2020!!!

Subset Chalet

Overall a wonderful experience, one thing that we didn't enjoy was the septic system seemed to omit an odor also we were shocked after arriving that there was a list of fines which we thought should have been mentioned before we booked so we knew what we were getting into. But it was a lovely place and location in the mountains

What makes this property unique

If you are into crafts, you know how HARD it is to find a nice vacation retreat that has A) nice accommodations, B) a convenient location, C) luxury and D) a nice crafting area with views! Then, add to the challenge that the best places are booked a year in advance! I wanted to offer the best of all worlds. I hope you agree that Sunset Ridge IS the scrapbooking retreat you have always dreamed of! Furnishings and beds are very comfortable - you can't have a great time if your back hurts (and we have all had that experience on vacation, right?)! And the walking ramp eliminates the need to get your supplies up and down stairs.
