Great place to stay! Very clean and had plenty of room. It was a lovely drive to the location and I felt very safe. Also it was a great middle ground for places I wanted to visit.Would definitely recommend!
Really cozy place close to Shenandoah National Park
We really enjoyed our stay. Conveniently close to the national park, and the location and surroundings is amazing. Checkin process was really simple, and the place was very clean.
This is a lovely and unique cabin. We loved the back deck. The kitchen was well equipped. The host is extremely responsive. The property is very spacious and gorgeous when it snows.
A fantastic cabin in a quiet area not far from Shenandoah. Definitely pet friendly. Good wifi service and check in/out was a breeze. There were quite a few stink bugs, but that's what happens that close to the woods. A perfect retreat after a day of hiking.
We enjoyed our stay in this secluded house. Everything you could need for your stay was available. The owners were easy to communicate with and timely.
Very nice and clean space! Some construction of a new house happening next door, but that will be over soon enough and we were never disturbed by any construction noise. Close enough to the NP that we hiked there daily. Great fire pit and patio.
The location was just what needed to be close to Shenandoah without camping! Cozy little place that was good for me and 2 kids. They had fun with the spiral stairs (which our dogs would not climb :) and the 2-person monopoly. Good internet and plenty blankets. Would not recommend for babies/toddlers who are climbers due to the stairs. Host was responsive.
We didnt want to camp in a tent (too soon in the season) So this little cabin was Perfect ! Full Kitchen amenities. Comfy, Very clean & most of All, our Pup was welcome which was crucial.
Much Thx to our Super Host! We will be back for sure ! :-) We are Shenandoah regulars.
Note: We made a mistake on the Checkout time & Mitch was very understanding & gave us an extra hour. Thank you ! We really loved our stay.
elcome Thanks!
The most adorable tiny house in the woods minutes from the Shenandoah National Park entrance Swift Run Gap. It was clean, well furnished and very roomy! Love the upstairs bedrooms ! Great vacay!
