We loved our stay at this property! The view was amazing and the accommodations were very clean, spacious, well-equipped and comfortable! Tess was a great hostess and communication was prompt and effective. The rental was a little closer to the owners house than we thought based on the property description. The outdoor amenities such as the chiminea are positioned for privacy opposite the side of the host home. The roads to the cabin are narrow and unpaved with switchbacks making it a little more challenging to navigate. Overall, it’s an amazing view and comfortable stay!

Beautiful views nice place.

The views from the porch is amazing. Some of our hikes to summits had a less beautiful view. Nice place with cute decor and everything you need to cook and hang out. The mountain road up is worth the ride.We really loved our trip and stay.

A Slice of Heaven

What a view! We enjoyed our stay at 3100 feet. It was worth the ride on the unpaved path to the top! We had a comfortable and peaceful time, staying very comfortably at the top of the world. Hosts are lovely and friendly. Had car trouble, and the nearby car repair helped us while we waited. Loved our place! Thank you!

Best view Ever

My husband and I took the weekend to get away and this was the perfect place. It is a trek up the mountain and worth it. Very clean and the hosts were friendly and approachable. Definitely recommend. Just be aware that the drive up is gravel road and at times steep. Best have AWD or 4 WD.

Under the stars

Being so high up, the cabin's deck offered unparalleled mountain views. The sunrise, sunset, dusk, dawn, night sky seeded with stars kept us entertained with ever changing colors and visitors (e.g.: deer, woodpeckers, titmouse, etc.) The cabin is well equipped with cooking utensils and offers plenty of storage as well. Its proximity to Shenandoah NP is a huge plus. Our hosts were very quick to respond to messages and easing any concerns we had. We cannot wait to be back.
