This home is absolutely beautiful and is exactly like the photos depict. We are a family of four adult couples that stayed there for a family wedding. We were all very comfortable there in every way. The only problem we had was with the driveway leading to the house. It didn’t easily accommodate 4 cars and was very curved and steep. At night it was difficult to navigate in the dark with no barriers or lights along it. Our hosts were very kind and willing to accommodate any of our needs.

This is a lovely property with a large, screened in back porch looking over a green lawn down to a stream. Our family had a fun weekend going to the Shakespeare Theatre in Staunton, doing some hiking in the George Washington National Forest and seeing a movie at the Visulite Cinema. A relaxing and well outfitted stay. We recommend!

The rooms were spacious and the well-equipped kitchen was a plus. Having two comfortable king beds and two comfortable queen beds assured a good night’s sleep. The spacious screened in porch provided a great place to listen to the birds and sip morning coffee or late afternoon tea. Two spacious showers (one a walk-in) and one tub with shower was convenient. Our host was very responsive.

A very welcoming and comfortable place to stay! The host thought of everything and we enjoyed watching the sun rise over the mountain with our hot cup of coffee every morning. What a beautiful quiet place to read our Bible, Pray, and get renewed! Thank you Maryam!

The host was very communicative! The home was absolutely gorgeous. You have to be very cautious getting out of the driveway but other than that smooth sailing for getting there. The kitchen was stocked very well and was very helpful for meals. The property is beautiful!

We had an amazing stay! We were a group of 4 adults and 2 infants and the cabin was spacious, clean, and incredibly peaceful. The location offers total seclusion and beautiful mountain views, yet you are only 10 minutes from Staunton. The 3 bed/3 bath setup was perfect for us. If you are looking for a relaxing place to unplug in the Valley, this is it. 5 stars!

This was a perfect stay for our family of 4! The property is amazing, and we enjoyed listening to the sounds of the creek both while sitting around the campfire, and also while sitting outside on the screened-in deck. The house was very clean, and plenty of bedrooms to spread out! We very much appreciated the supply of coffee and fixings, as well condiments in the fridge. This was a fantastic stay, and would welcome the chance to come back on our next trip to Virginia!!

The cabin was very beautiful and clean and the kitchen was stocked very well. We had plenty of privacy. Which was lovely. My only recommendations are, the kitchen could use some dish towels and maybe a spotlight to help see at night in the backyard.

Cozy stay at the cabin!

Perfect weekend getaway with the family. Very comfortable, clean and accommodating! Loved cooking with the family, plenty of room and well supplied for the cook. The owners were pleasant, and great hosts! Loved the fire pit area by the creek and the walking trails. Look forward to visiting again, thank you!

We really enjoyed our quick getaway to the mountains. My kids were so sad when it was time to leave. It was nice to disconnect from home and enjoy the outdoors. It was amazing to have a place that my mother could enjoy as well as she does have some mobility issues. This house had everything we needed!

Beautiful and well furnished home! Maryam was a great communicator before and during our stay. We loved feeling like we were in the country while being a short distance from restaurants, shopping and entertainment. We especially loved sitting on the screened porch in the mornings and evenings. We will be back!
