About this property

Spacious bungalow with rural views & vintage charm

Soak up the rural quiet and nostalgic charm of this renovated 1940s bungalow on farmland in the central Shenandoah Valley. You'll find good books, a well stocked retro kitchen, an attic for kids to play in, and peaceful rural views.

The bungalow is on a rural lane surrounded by fields and meadows. Sounds you might hear: the song of meadowlarks morning and evening, a rooster crowing on a nearby farm, a tractor making hay, the neighboring barn owl at night, and the occasional vehicle rolling by on the gravel road.

Quiet gravel lanes lead in three directions -- good for a walk to the mill, over the hill, or for birdwatching over on Joe's Creek. We're happy to share our favorite local bike ride routes, as well. Although the surroundings feel entirely rural, it's only a 5-minute drive to Harrisonburg, 10 minutes to downtown dining and shopping, and 15 minutes to JMU. One of the best local farm stands is conveniently on the way to town, or the Friendly City Food Co-op, another source for local abundance, is ten minutes beyond.

About the host

Hosted by Ilse Ackerman

Host profile image
I've lived on four continents, but came back to this part of Virginia that was special to me from my childhood. I love sharing this spot, as well as recommendations for the many wonderful sights and establishments in the area. Although I'm new to VRBO, I've hosted around 1000 stays on Airbnb.

Why they chose this property

When we moved to this corner of the Shenandoah Valley in 2016, I knew it was a place I wanted to share with people. The scenery -- the rolling hills -- and the quiet are singular.

Since we're new to VRBO, you're welcome to read our reviews on Airbnb, where we've hosted over 200 stays at the bungalow and have a perfect rating. airbnb.com/h/fourpinesbungalow

What makes this property unique

The bungalow attempts to be evocative of some of the households I am nostalgic about from my childhood. The reading nook under the stairs that my father built me, the attic with a train set, the clawfoot tub in my grandparents' upstairs, and plentiful good books.
