This is a lovely little cabin that is very close to Old Rag and several beautiful trails and wineries. We enjoyed our stay here, especially the panoramic view of the night sky and Old Rqg itself. The cabin had all the essentials needed and the host was very communicative and welcoming. Only wish our stay could have been longer to soak up more of the beautiful Virginia mountains!

My daughter and I took a short trip to visit Shenandoah National Park. Cozy home which has everything you would need. It’s very close to Old Rag, a five minute drive. Beautiful property, I loved watching the sunrise from the porch. Wifi is spotty everywhere but wasn’t an issue for us. We downloaded our directions and books just in case. I can’t say enough good things about host Jerry. He was very attentive, friendly and kind! We will definitely stay again!

Great property! Jerry was very communicative leading up to our stay including some potentially trip-altering challenges. Property was clean and well stocked. We will certainly be staying here again and would recommend it to anyone wanting proximity to Old Rag.

Our host was very nice. The house was very quaint and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. The views were fabulous and he even made a platform in the middle of the field to star gaze and/or have a campfire. The location was perfect for visiting ‘Old Rag’ mountain as well as Shenandoah National Park. We will certainly return when we are back in the area.

Quiet stay in the mountains

Our stay was beautiful in this mountain cabin! Jerry was a very accommodating and polite host. The cabin was beautiful and clean. We were close to wineries and hiking in Shanendoah National Park. We will be sure to look back here for our next vacation!

Perfect place for Shenandoah

When I go back to the park, I will be staying here. Perfect location for access to Old Rag Mountain and the middle entrance of the park to drive north or south on Skyline Drive. The host couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly.

Wonderful getaway

We had a wonderful few days at Jerry's little cottage! Everything was just like the pictures and so clean and cozy. Jerry even came by and talked with us and we learned we had a lot in common! We also saw deer and even bald eagles on the property! Would definitely stay here again!

Great Location for Old Rag

House is just down the road from the Old Rag ranger station. Bed was very comfortable, especially after a long day hiking. Perfect for two people. Bring bug spray, the gnats in this area are pretty bad.
