Weekend getaway

My husband and I enjoyed a weekend at the cabin. We found it clean, comfortable and well equipped. We brought food and didn't feel the need to drive anywhere. We popped a bottle of wine and grilled steaks on the charcoal grill. Caution it is a very small grill. The road to the house and driveway were a bit daunting and I was grateful we arrived during daylight. Quite steep. I'd be cautious arriving or leaving in the dark. We explored the mountain and got some exercise by walking up to the top of the road and then down to the pond/dam. Almost 5 miles combined and over 85 'flights' climbed. It was wonderful to relax in the hottub after that walk! The WIFI in the cabin was fast and allowed us both to do a bit of work and hubs to complete an assignment for his masters program. The master bedroom was comfortable and we enjoyed opening the windows at night for the crisp mountain air. Natasha/host was fantastic. She communicated very well prior to our arrival and was quick to respond during our stay with answers to questions. Would definitely return for another restful weekend.

Weekend getaway

This was a great stay for my girlfriend for her birthday. The place is cute and we enjoyed ourselves. The best part of the stay was far and wide the host. Very communicative and willing to go above and beyond. However, there were a couple of downsides we encountered. In my opinion, the romance package was over priced for its value. The listing shows a price at the time that was inaccurate. Something the host doesn't necesarily control as she uses a decorator. Of course we worked out a deal but overall once we arrived, I didn't find what we received matched the exorbitant price they charge. In the bedroom the heart lights hanging in the window weren't on either. Also, the time of year we went and time we arrived, it was dark and foggy which made arrival pretty difficult and scary, as the driveway is hard to find due to its grade. I suggested lighting to be placed and markers for the driveway entrance to the host.That all being said, the view was great, the hot tub was wonderful, the place is really cute and we had a good time getting away. It's quite the drive into Front Royal, so make sure you have what you need ahead of time. I also can't stress enough, what made this stay so wonderful was Natasha.

Exactly what we were looking for

Beautiful and cozy getaway with star gazing from the hot tub. Driving distance was perfect for what we were looking for. Nicely furnished. Natasha is an attentive and thoughtful host. We couldn't have asked for anything more! :)

Great place to unwind

Natasha was a phenomenal host. The cabin was very cozy and felt homey. I decided Toto select this property because it checked all the boxes I was looking for to propose to my gf. The sunset was perfect, the atmosphere was amazing and I was tuned in by all the extra provided services. She said YES!!! Natasha went above and beyond to accommodate us and she deserves a 5-star rating. Additionally, the Shenandoah Park overlooks were an awesome sight. Free for all you military vets, get your cards at the front gate. Highly recommended for a romantic getaway

Rating: 5/5 - Seriously AMAZING!

Okay, so I gotta tell you about this AWESOME Cabin near Front Royal. It's like the ultimate mountain vibe, and I'm giving it a solid 5 stars. First off, when you roll up, you're feeling the chill mountain vibes right away. It's that perfect mix of being away from the city craziness but still close enough to Front Royal if you need some action. There are some good restaurants in town and lots of other small towns with in an hours drive. The vineyard scene in the area is on point! The cabin's got two bedrooms and two bathrooms—ideal for a low-key getaway with your partner or a small crew. Inside, it's legit cozy. The kitchen is surprisingly big, but let's talk about the real MVP—the hot tub. It's on this deck with killer mountain views. Day or night, it's the spot to be. Stargazing from the tub? Yeah, that was a vibe. And get this—the Shenandoah River is like a 10-minute drive. We checked out wineries. Skyline Drive and Skyline Caverns are just a short drive away too. Now, if you're feeling a bit extra romantic, they've got this sweet deal for $300 extra. Rose petals, candles, chocolates, and a bottle of bubbly—perfect for some lovey-dovey time star gazing in the hot tub. We did this and it was a cute little extra thing to surprise my partner with. Big shoutout to Faith, the property manager, for keeping everything smooth. Oh, and props to the hosts for hosting medical first responders separately. That's some real goodness. Cleanline

About the host

Hosted by Faith

I'm a human rights advocate (women, child and elderly persons focused), and my husband is a social worker who works with persons suffering from mental illness and intellectual and developmental disabilities. We both love people, nature and are always seeking tranquil settings.

Why they chose this property

We visited the Shenandoah area for the first time in 2020 and instantly fell in love with the beautiful green and colourful landscape, rivers and wildlife. We were fortunate to have the option of working remotely and jumped at the chance to live the dream in these heavenly mountains where the air is pure and the stars shine brighter than imaginable.

We were lucky to find the perfect cabin nestled at the top of a mountain, overlooking the city line and the majestic national parks. The views from the balcony are breathtaking - there is nothing more relaxing than sitting in the hot tub with a cool glass of white wine watching the illuminating stars up above and city lights down below. When we're done admiring and want to experience the nature, the Lake of the Clouds and Spring Lakes are only a short walk away from the cabin. The river a short 10min drive and horseback riding even closer. The scenic Skyline Drive and famous Skyline caverns are similarly a quick drive. The hiking trails are in abundance. There is something to do for everyone!

Our family and friends - couples, families with children, have taken advantage of every activity this stunning area provides. The Dinosaur Land is a treat for the children, as are the fairs in the town, the caverns, children's museums, animal parks to name a few. My niece and nephews never once turned on the television for an entire weekend! For adults - vineyards, a romantic drive on the Skyline Drive, river activities, hiking the Sky Meadow and Shenandoah National Parks, intimate dining in charming restaurants in the town and so much more!

As the world opens back up, we find ourselves having to move back to the city. It is our desire to share this gem we've called home for the past year with others seeking the ultimate tranquil experience in the Shenandoah mountains.

What makes this property unique

This cabin is very unique with a traditional cabin exterior and charming modern interior. It truly is peaceful, with only the sounds of birds chirping, leaves lightly fluttering and the gentle footsteps of deer. The cabin is located in the most convenient spot, in nature and far from all city noise but not more than a 20min drive to town. During the summer sedans drive easily, during the winter months, however (Dec-Feb) an AWD/4WD is advisable.
