Beautiful home. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and nice touches throughout. Amazing view and deck to take advantage of it. It was perfect for our group of 6 adults to use as a base for hiking, exploring and visiting.

Beautiful and relaxing cabin in the woods! My friend and I spent the weekend in Cresta Blava celebrating her birthday. The house was just as beautiful as depicted on the website. It was clean, quiet, and we enjoyed the mountain views and star gazing on the deck.The kitchen was well stocked with pots & pans and utensils. They even provided some K-cups for the Keurig, dishwasher detergent, soap, paper towels and a starter of trash bags. It was more house than we needed as we didn't even touch the game room, but it was a perfect weekend. Would definitely stay here again.

Shenandoah family vacation

This cabin was absolutely spotless! It had a well stocked kitchen, excellent wifi and comfy furniture in the livingroom. We loved having the 3 bedrooms each with their own attached bathroom. And the view from the back deck was amazing! We didn't use the hotub because during our stay the temps were averaging near 100, but we very much appreciated the air-conditioning and the multiple thermostats to keep each area the perfect temperature. Highly recommend!!

Late birthday trip

Visited with my boyfriend as a late birthday trip for myself. We have visited this area of Virginia several times and have always enjoyed it. Cresta Blava was definitely the biggest, cleanest, and best maintained property we have ever stayed at. We both hope to return for a longer vacation in the future!

Cresta Blava is the loveliest home in which I have ever stayed. The views from the deck were our favorite place to stay, as was the living room with the fireplace. We were 6 women, all family, and everyone was so pleased with our accommodations. Everything was sparkling clean, and there were so many very thoughtful details, including comfy cushions for the chairs on the deck, extra blanket throws for chilly mornings, and an incredibly well stocked kitchen, complete with every spice you could possibly need for cooking. Any questions I had were immediately answered. there were also very clear instructions about how things worked, which were very helpful. I would caution against driving a sports car up the hill to the house, because the road is a bit rough; our large SUV was fine. We would all love to return! Thank you so much for your hospitality, we had a wonderful family reunion!

Holiday Vacation

My husband and I, our 3 and 6 year old sons, and my in-laws had an excellent time at Cresta Blava! The list of inclusions is more extensive than most rentals in my experience, and it is a beautiful, well-kept cabin with a breathtaking view. Wisteria Farm and Vineyard nearby has a playground for kids, and good wines. We also went hiking in the Shenandoah national park and to a winery further south. Overall, great location and accommodations!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Mazza

Host profile image
We are Katie and Joe Mazza. Katie was born into a military family and has had the pleasure of living in many places all around the world. Joe was raised in New Jersey and fell in love with Virginia the very first day he arrived at his alma mater, Virginia Tech. Katie and Joe became avid B&B and cabin renters over a decade ago across Page and Rappahannock counties as a way to escape the hustle and bustle of their Northern Virginia based careers. After discovering Cresta Blava – where we stayed as guests 6 times ourselves - we were hooked! So much so that when the original owners decided to hand their legacy to someone else, we jumped at the chance to take the reins with the hope of bringing its splendor to you with the same care and attention that they did.

Why they chose this property

Recently constructed solid log cabin in the highly desirable Shenandoah Woods area of the Shenandoah Valley. Situated in Page County Virginia, there is history, outdoor activities, and close to a number of gorgeous wedding venues as rated by The Knot.

What makes this property unique

Conveniently located in Shenandoah Woods, only 0.5 miles from two wedding venues (The Pavilion at Shenandoah Woods and Brenwood Lake Weddings). Close to Luray Caverns, Skyline Drive and Shenandoah River for a variety of outdoor activities. Gorgeous views so you can be as active or as relaxed as you'd like!
