DC-VA Family Trip

Loved the house, plenty of room for the family. Loved having family dinners at the giant dining room table. Had out of state family visiting VA who wanted to see DC and the Shenandoah Valley so the location worked out great. I would definitely rent the house again.

Beautiful Home in Charming Neighborhood

Front Royal is a great place to stay. This home is beautiful with everything we could possibly need! Our hosts were easy to reach and very helpful. The bedrooms are big and comfortable and the dining room and living room are great for big families. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again!

Great house in a great location

This was a girls’ trip for a homesteaders conference. We enjoyed the spacious living spaces; the pictures just don’t give them justice. We had meals around the large dining table, then moved into the large living room for further conversation and fellowship. The bedrooms were great also. The neighborhood hosts several restaurants and coffee shops. Just a great experience!

It is a beautiful place. You feel right at home the moment you enter. The rooms are spacious and very clean. It is just blocks away from the historic city of Front Royal and we walked twice up to wander through the streets and shops. It was perfect for us.

Lovely home

We enjoyed our stay at the big sunny family house. There was plenty of room for all of us! The parking in the back of the house was especially nice so we didn’t have to back out onto the busy road in the front driveway.

Relaxing Stay

The entire family loved the layout of the house. It felt so comfortable and inviting. I especially loved the little “reading room” off to the side of the dining room. My wife loved the decor.

Beautiful!

The house was a beautiful, old farmhouse house. There were notes all around, giving clear guidance on where things were located. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. My favorite part was the large dining room table that allowed everyone to sit down and eat together. I would definitely stay there again.

Great thanksgiving getaway

This house is a larger house that would be absolutely perfect for a thanksgiving dinner. There is a huge dining room table that could seat probably 16 comfortably. We really appreciated the comfortable bedrooms and beds with plenty of extra pillows and blankets. As a small family we loved being able to spread out and chill after hiking at Shenandoah, which is minutes away.

Great home with all the little touches

Clean house with lots of space! Well stocked with all the necessities and little added extras that made for a wonderful stay for girls weekend! There were 4 of us and we had more house than we needed but loved it because we all had our own bedroom. Owners are very responsive. We had no issues and will definitely be back! Walking distance to town with shopping, restaurants, and wineries.short drive to hiking trails and more wineries!

Best stay yet!

This was the best property we have stayed among at least 5 others in the recent past. The house was clean, well equipped, and everything worked as it should. Plenty of room for our 6 people family, close to downtown Front Royal, and close to Christendom College (we dropped off our daughter to college there over the weekend). Will definite choose this place again.

About the host

Hosted by Patrick E. Masch

Host profile image
Patrick and Joy have family in the area and want a comfortable place to stay when they are in town. They have equipped the house with all the amenities you need to have a comfortable stay without having to pack the kitchen sink. Cooking pans, iron, hair dryer, flat iron, spices ,food storage, umbrellas etc.

Why they chose this property

Pick this house because the layout is awesome! Big rooms everyone can fit in and places to hide away and read a book if you need a minute on your own. Great WIFI if you need to work while you are there

What makes this property unique

Amazing location if you like to park the car and walk to restaurants and all the fun stuff on main street but also 5-10 minute drive from many hiking locations.
