Cozy Relaxing and Modern Cabin

We loved our stay. The view is breathtaking, the house is very comfortable and the city is adorable! Can’t wait to go back in the summer. My pup had a wonderful time playing outdoor by the fire pit, and my toddler enjoyed running on the huge yard and watching the train go by at the foot of the mountain! Nat was a great host, very responsive and helpful!!

Peaceful Mountain

We chose this home because we were touring colleges for our daughter and traveling with our dog. The location is perfect for a relaxing stay but close enough to the major highway. Natt was extremely helpful with suggestions for nearby hikes and restaurants as well as making sure the house was clean and well equipped for our stay. The large swing on the porch was a treat to take in the sights of the beautiful mountain landscape. If our daughter selects a nearby college we will certainly come back to this home away from home.

Enjoyed our stay

We stayed for a weekend to celebrate our daughter's 16th birthday. Home was very clean and completely updated. Home is convenient to Lexington, hiking and Blue Ridge Parkway. Good dining options only a short drive away. Can also walk to a few dining options in town. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in the Shenandoah Valley.

VMI Family Weekend

We enjoyed our stay! Super cute home. Boys enjoyed getting to hang out away from post and down by the river. Nate did an excellent job communicating with us before our stay and informing us of all the opportunities to explore during our stay.

We are excited to share this amazing house with you! It is important that there is no smoking/vaping anywhere on the premises (indoors or outdoors). If you enjoy the things we do, this house is for you!
