About this property

Overlook Mountain Cabin

**BREATHTAKING** views of the Shenandoah Valley and River from 2,000 feet up on the side of the mountain! French doors in the master bedroom suite and in the living room open up to a 2-level deck, half covered & half uncovered.
Master suite includes private access to deck and hot tub and a full bathroom. Brand new patio furniture will have you relaxing in no time. And a real wood burning stove for a rustic touch. You'll feel refreshed and renewed after a few days in Overlook Cabin!
VERY unique views from the side of a mountain. The house is decorated with a mountain feel, but with all the luxuries of home.
You'll have the whole house to yourself.
Other things to note:
ROAD AND VEHICLE: While the cabin is accessible for a normal car, we HIGHLY recommend a higher clearance vehicle like an SUV. Subaru's and RAV4's are common, but many other vehicles are also on the mountain. We offer an SUV (free of charge) to guests who prefer to use it for the final mile to the cabin.
SHEETS/TOWELS: Neither sheets nor towels are provided but there are plenty of blankets, comforters & pillows at the cabin. We use a linen service for those who need sheet and/or towels and simply pass the cost to you for an additional fee. Most guest simply bring their own.
PETS: Pets are welcome (there is a pet fee). There is a pet disclaimer, so please review policies regarding pets under the House Rules.
AMENITY USE: We work hard to keep everything fully operational, but occasionally appliances & equipment such as dishwashers & hot tubs, etc can malfunction. We will service & restore these amenities as quickly as we can, but will not make any rental concession for time without these items. Please follow all guidelines & policies regarding use of amenities in order to keep them functioning properly.
BOOKING MINIMUM: 3 night minimum to book all holidays, 2 night minimum for all non-holiday dates.

Relaxing in the mountains

What a delightful break from the city. I spent 5 nights relaxing in the hot tub, watching the stars and reading. The cabin was clean and cozy. The staff on the mountain were very helpful and kind. I can't wait to come back and visit again.

Thanksgiving at Overlook

Wonderful cabin for the holiday! Spectacular views and gorgeous sunsets. The waterfall walk was great and we saw wild turkeys on the trail. The road is a challenge, but what a beautiful destination!

Wonderful views, wonderful stay.

This was our second time staying at this particular cabin and it was wonderful. Amazing views, hot tub on the deck overlooking the mountain. The deck also has some roof cover so we could enjoy sitting out and listening to the rain. Super comfy bed and great amenities like streaming tv services and a well designed kitchen. Thank you for having such a beautiful retreat cabin!!

About our stay

Fire pit was not accessible. We could not go to the festival on Saturday because of the intermittent rain and fear we would not make it back up to our cabin on the very hard to travel Road. We also had to re-wash all of the dishes, as there was dried food on each of the plates.

Amazing view!

The view is Amazing! Better than the pictures! The place was clean and everything went super smooth. Definitely going back up there in the future. My small Honda had a rough time up the rocky road so a pick up, jeep or SUV is recommended

The Overlook Cabin

We enjoyed the breathtaking views from the porch and the seclusion. Great cabin for couples who like to hike, especially if you have a dog. The national park is 30 minutes from the most northern entrance and second most northern entrance. Brain was a great host, gave us lots of helpful information on what to do/where to eat in the area. He is also very quick with responses if you need anything! Overall a great stay and can't wait to come back!

Beautiful Place

This property is well taken care of and the owner was very responsive to us. The property manager was in direct contact with the owner and responded to our request immediately. The house had everything we needed. I can't say enough about the view - it was unbelievable. Only thing I can say negative is the road that leads to the house. You have to own a SUV to access the property and even that was difficult. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Choose your own adventure

The Overlook Cabin is a perfect home base for exploring Shenandoah National Park and the Shenandoah Valley. It's a short drive to Skyline Drive, Luray or Front Royal and there are plenty of things to do. In the evening we enjoyed coming home before sunset so we could watch it from the deck and then relax in the hot tub. This cabin is clean, comfortable and well stocked with many thoughtful touches. We would gladly stay again!

Mountain Retreat

My girlfriend and I stayed for 5 days with our 2 dogs. Overall no complaints we had a wonderful stay. It was a little tricky getting up the mountain. I managed to get up once with my car but opted to use one of the complimentary 4x4 vehicles afterwards. I highly recommend doing this from the start. It was tricky with the dogs as there is no grass for them to do their business but they adapted. The view is amazing and the stars at night were unbelievable from the hot tub. We had a great time and are glad we made the trip.

Amazing rental with ever more amazing views!

Thanks for amazing getaway! The wife and I escaped the DC hustle last weekend to this relaxing home in the mountains. The beautiful house, quality amenities and hot tub provided us an opportunity to escape our busy lives and the DC area congestion. The only concern anyone should have about this rental is the steep incline/decline gravel road to the cabin. However, our VW GTI made the trip just fine and it sits lower than most vehicles. We will be returning for another trip very soon. The views from the patio are breath taking and the hot tub is an amazing bonus!

Will not disappoint!

The online images do not do it justice for 1! The views on the back porch really are breathtaking! House was truly stocked with everything you need and the grocery store was only a 20 min ride once you hit the main road. The “road” going up the mountain, is no joke though. I was worried at times my Camry wasn’t gonna make it but after the first trip up , it got a little easier. It was a perfect romantic getaway for our anniversary! We will be back soon! Brian (1of the owners) was always accessible via text and helpful.#MustVisit

The views were nice from inside, I wish we could have enjoyed them from outside.

The cabin was beautiful, the views are amazing. The only downside was the construction going on every morning at 7:30, the entire time we were there. I wish we would have been notified beforehand, as we were not able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views. Also, if you are looking for a secluded cabin, this isn’t it. You are surrounded by other cabins, which I must have missed in the listing. That’s on me. However, if you are going for peace and quiet, this isn’t the cabin for you.

not all that secluded

while the property was clean I didn't realize they allowed pets so after a few days of dampness you could smell it in the rugs and furniture unfortunately for us we were there when Ian was around so no Mountain View no internet you could hear and see people and actually the people next to us walked their dog and it pooped right on the passenger side door of our truck so in my opinion if you're trying to get away to seclusion this may not be the place outdoor furniture and bed were not that comfortable either and the hot tub did have white foam like someone else reviewed

Gorgeous Views

You have to start with the large deck with a hot tub overlooking the valley and mountains beyond. It is a rough road up but well worth it. We spent much of time on the deck just reading and relaxing, appreciating the theatre of Mother Nature. The house was so comfortable with its floor plan. My friend and each had our own room and bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and then some. We watched movies on a big screen in the comfortable living room. There were conveniences like lots of electrical outlets and ceiling fans throughout even on the deck. I wish I could stay longer and hope to spend another week next summer.

Cleanness

When we arrived at the cabin , the view was very nice. But when we went to cook some of the utensils were dirty and had chocolate on it like it hasn’t been washed. We rewashed everything before using it just in case it wasn’t cleaned before.Most of the cabin was covered in dust . Cabin felt dirty and felt like you had to wash your hands after everything you touched. Not only because of the dirty cabin but also because of the pandemic. I don’t know who is in there cleaning the cabin but they need to give it up and find a different job. I can take a blind man and clean better than that.
