Clean, Simple, Gorgeous Views

Very accommodating host. Property was very clean and neat with no excess clutter. We did not cook this trip, but if you wanted to cook the property was well stocked with cookware, utensils, dishwater and glassware. Property was easy to get to, and the winery was beautiful, welcoming, and delicious!!

Relaxing get away

Nice place to relax in the hot tub, with wine in your hand from the local winery next door enjoying the view of the Appalachians. Clean place and property owner next door if you have any problems that arise.

Peaceful Stay

Great location close to town and the entrance to Shenandoah National Park. Beautiful views from the back deck! The hot tub was enjoyable after our long hikes. The area is very quiet and the house has everything you'll need for an enjoyable stay.

Always great at Idle Hour!

Our third stay at this great property and it was fabulous as usual! It was adorably decorated for Christmas, which was a real treat. We arrived the night of an ice storm and although several trees were down, Jeff quickly remedied the situation and cleared the trees. This VRBO is always top notch!
