Excellent property for trips to Front Royal. It is minutes from restaurants, golf courses, and the national park. Very well kept and organized with labels on every cabinet to let guests know where they can find the essentials. For EV owners, the house has a level 2 charger that works perfectly. The only challenge is the placement of the charger may require some automotive acrobatics to get your car’s port within the reach of the cable. All said - wonderful experience and I would book the house again.

We stayed at Joy and Patrick’s place for 4 nights while visiting Front Royal for our daughter’s graduation. The house was lovely and very comfortable. Patrick and Joy thought of everything. We had a wonderful stay. The house is big with plenty of room to spread out. Every drawer and cabinet was labeled, so we knew where to find everything. The location is very convenient, and there’s plenty of parking behind the house.

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.

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.

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.
