Wedding weekend

We were in the area for a wedding at Rixey Manor. The Hideaway was very close to the event location. We were able to rest and relax in between parties at the house and it had everything we needed. I’d loved the ironing board set up - very cute and convenient. Everything was very comfortable and we had a nice stay

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and comfortable. The deck is fantastic with lots of privacy and surrounding woods. The location was great for hiking in Shenandoah National Park and we visited nearby restaurants, wineries and a distillery. The host was very responsive with questions I had before we arrived and the property was as described.

Overall a good stay

The house served our purposes. There is a downstairs occupant that we were unaware of and don’t recall seeing anything about. There are also are no televisions in the house. I don’t recall seeing anything about that either. The master bedroom bed was nice and large but pretty uncomfortable. Over all, it was a nice stay for what we needed it for.

Great off the beaten path retreat

Great place to stay. I noticed that there was a lot of info on the arrival, aka following driving directions, which seemed warranted for one of our travelers. We used google maps and it brought us right to the house but they used garmin and it was going to bring them not to the house. House was great! Clean and wide open layout. Nice bedrooms but would have rather had 2 rooms with a king. Check-in was good as the host was very responsive but I got an email saying that I would get code 24-48hrs before but I was following up on day of checkin for the code which came right after I inquired about it. Checkout process seemed to require a lot of effort on the guest while still having to pay the Vrbo cleaning fees etc. the garbage was not very clear as to whether or not guest was required to bring trash out to bin upon leaving. We did anyway but not clear. Overall we were satisfied. Deck is awesome but space not really setup to full potential- not a lot seating options and the “dining” table is in the front of the house not near grill or the sliding door nearest the kitchen. Very quiet and great for opening the windows at night. As far as getting to a restaurant for dinner or breakfast you are at least 25min drive from anything so keep in mind. Also the area has no cell service so save your routes before going to or leaving from here. We stayed overnight during a winery tour weekend.

Quiet Retreat for Our Family

We had an excellent stay at Hilltop Hideaway. The house was spotless, the beds comfortable, and the showers hot. The wrap around porch was the best though- great for quiet mornings shopping coffee, eating dinner at twilight, and looking at the stars in the evening.
