About this property

* CLOUDS MOUNTAIN CABIN* Relaxing, Escape, Views & Private Hot Tub!
STUNNING panoramic views of the Shenandoah Valley from a large deck, with hot tub AND wood fireplace. All of the amenities. Privacy. PLUS hiking in the Shenandoah National Park is literally steps from the back door. A waterfall with natural pools is less than a 15 minute hike from the house! Wildlife is commonly seen. And at an elevation of 2,000 feet, even summer is comfortable. Skyline Drive and Luray caverns are close by, and Washington DC is only 90 miles away. Also nearby is the Shendandoah River - one of the most beautiful aspects of the area. Lots of opportunity for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and floating the river. Luray is less than 10 miles away and Front Royal is also nearby, so restaurants, quaint shopping and wineries are all nearby. This is a must see experience!
You'll have the entire place 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.

Mountain top cabin

It was mid December when we stayed and it was only a few days after they had a massive ice Storm. It was gorgeous! Loved it!

Mountainside adventure

Our stay was great! The cabin was clean and ready for us when we got there and it was nice and secluded! The driveway is an adventure, but there are jeeps provided if you need them. Overall great experience, would recommend.

Honeymooning!

What an unbelievable view! After making it up the road in the dark, we awoke to an amazing view of the valley below. The house was clean, and Brian's instructions meant we knew how to fully utilize the features such as the hot tub. We drove up in a front-wheel-drive Ford Escape and had no issues with accessing the property. We stayed from Monday to Friday for our honeymoon and couldn't have been happier with the property and the seclusion it provided. Hoping to visit again in the future.

Beautiful views

The view from the deck is truly amazing - I can see why they call it Clouds Cabin! Overall we had a nice stay. The owner was one of the most helpful and responsive hosts of all time, he was truly great. He provided super clear instructions on how to get there and we had no problems finding it even without a working GPS. I'd definitely recommend bringing all the provisions you need with you, because making it down that road to pick up something you forgot is not an easy task. The four wheel drive vehicles provided were necessary to make it up the hill for us, we never would have made it in our own car. We used the grill non-stop and didn't have any issues with it. There were a few areas that I'd recommend as possible areas of improvement, or just things to be aware of: 1. There was only one hand soap in the bathroom, and none in the kitchen. Given that we are in a pandemic, I would have felt much better if more hand soap was readily available and disinfectant wipes were provided. The guest book revealed that someone else had checked out just hours before we checked in. I'm sure the place had been cleaned by a crew before our arrival (although we found someone else's contact lens case on the ground), but it would have given me more peace of mind and shown me that safety precautions were being taken very seriously. 2. The hot tub area was super overgrown with foliage, and not as pictured in the photo. Someone else mentioned this in their review too, and the owner mentioned that it tends to get overgrown quickly in summer (which makes sense). However, we were really looking forward to using this feature and just ended up not really taking advantage as much because it was a little uncomfortable given that it literally backed up into the woods and the bug situation over there was really intense. 3. There are two neighbors immediately to the left and right of you. The location is great because it's smack dab in the middle of Shenandoah, but we weren't totally expecting to have neighbors so close. In positive news, the deck is still very private because of all the trees, which is great - but the neighbors had some people over one day and we could definitely hear them all hanging out all day even if we couldn't clearly see them. 4. The upstairs bedrooms had a musty/moldy smell and aggravated both of our allergies, but it was nothing a little Febreeze (which was provided by the host) couldn't fix.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Hughes

Brian and Susan Hughes began coming to this mountain area in 2012, renting vacation cabins, and fell in love with the area. They live in the Richmond area, but return to the mountains as often as they can. This is their favorite place to be!

Why they chose this property

Very few properties offer privacy, incredible views, and the ability to hike in the Shenandoah National Park all from the same location. Clouds has all of these things!
