We had such a great stay here! The cabin was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing trip. The kitchen was well stocked, the bed was comfortable, and the views around the property were beautiful. The host was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. It was the perfect peaceful getaway, and we would definitely come back again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay!

A beautiful cabin with amazing views and all the amenities you need! It was well cared for, clean, and a wonderful place to stay for a weekend of hiking. Unfortunately, we did have an unexpected storm that knocked out power and took down some trees in the driveway. Kenneth and his family had the trees cleared in less than an hour after they fell and he was so understanding and thoughtful when we made the decision to leave early to find other accommodations when the power was not back the next morning (it was out of the his control). Such hospitality and kindness! We would love to come back down another time and stay for the whole weekend! I highly recommend this cabin and host.

Our stay at the whippoorwill nest was fantastic! We had everything we needed and then some. The view was beautiful and the home was cozy and comfortable. There were friendly animals that stopped in for visits ( 2 cats, 2 hens, 1 rooster and a turkey) none were bothersome at all and i enjoyed watching them out in the field from the window. I will definitely keep this place in mind for next time i travel to the area. Two thumbs up for sure!

A cozy little place with a very nice bed and gorgeous views! The fire pit is great for evening relaxation. We met some of the local turkeys, cats and chickens while watching the sun come up. Hiking was, of course, amazing in the area, and all of the caverns are such a wild and awe-inspiring experience. I expect we will be back!

The cabin was very nice and private. A little farther from SNP than expected. VRBO lists it as Lurey while it’s really a Shenandoah address. Appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the house.
