This was our second year staying with Jennifer and the lovely homestead! While the weather was misty, it was a wonderful weekend in and around Shenandoah. Jennifer and crew are so hospitable and we felt so welcome! We are already looking forward to returning again next year!

This spot was perfect for my weekend hiking trip! It had everything I could possibly need for my stay & was a perfect distance from the national park. The winery/brewery across the street also had great drinks & food

It can be warm so bring a battery powered fan if you choose. No complaints here on anything! The host offers the necessities for the fire pit and for being comfy in the room. We are a new couple starting to camp and explore.. we loved it.

We had a wonderful time staying here! The cabin was clean and cozy, and had everything we needed to cook over the fireplace! It was the perfect way to enjoy the camping experience and still get to sleep in a comfortable bed. We got a farm tour in the morning and loved meeting all the animals! The host was lovely!
The cabin! Lovely breeze from the screen door.
Campfire area! Great for making s'mores and walking tacos!

We stayed for a long weekend and wished we could have stayed longer, there were so many trails to explore, great restaurants/wineries/breweries to visit and were greeted by some very friendly four legged friends upon arrival, Willow (the puppy) even guided us to our camp and even offered to carry some of our bags. It is the perfect location to stay in and cook out, go adventuring or just a night out on the town. We cooked some steaks from the farm store over the fire the first night which were some of the best we've had, the second day we hiked a couple miles to the waterfalls then visited the local wineries and were sad to leave on the 3rd. 10/10 experience will definitely be back.

Hosts were super nice and the room/cabin were perfect. It is Glamping. Perfect for the outdoor experience blended with a comfortable bed. 1/2 bath is not quite a 1/2 bath but if you are a camper or hiker and your significant other is not, it is a good option to get them outdoors. Great location from Old Rag and a few other trails. Definitely would go back.

The cabin is adorable, comfortable and clean. The hosts are awesome. Remember...it is gl/camping. No electric, no drinking water, and no flushing toilet. We loved it! Slept like logs after hiking. Thank you Jen and John.

We really enjoyed our stay! The animals were so much fun to be around especially the dogs they were so sweet and cute. There is no door to the cabin so just make sure you pack warm clothes for cold nights(there were extra blankets so it was fine for us)! Very easy to access and its a short walk from car to the cabin itself. Surprisingly I had some service (T-Mobile) but my partner did not which we expected and were totally okay with. We were easily able to get into touch with the owner so everything was very smooth!

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. *** there is a screen door on the cabin with a curtain. There is no electricity, heat or insulation in this glamping cabin. Surprisingly enough we’ve had guest stay when the temperature is in the 20s and they stayed comfortable with the wool and down blankets provided. :)

This glamping cabin is a great place to stay! Jen and all her critters were awesome, the cabin was very comfy with VERY warm and cozy blankets for our stay during some chilly nights. It IS camping. The cabin isn't heated (there isn't even a solid door, just a screen and a curtain), and you'll need to haul your water (it's a short jaunt and not hard if you just fill a small jug each day). I highly recommend renting a camp stove from Jen if you aren't bringing your own as this was much easier than cooking over the fire would have been (it wasn't an option at the beginning of our stay due to fire bans in effect). The only real drawback was that there is no cell service (which I'm normally fine with) and it made asking questions of Jen a bit more difficult and we had to make sure we made our next day's plans before heading back to the cabin (we were exploring Shenandoah park and various nearby towns).

Amazing Overnight Stay

The cabin was perfect for an overnight stay. It was so secluded and the woods were beautiful. We were able to walk to the winery/brewery down the road and spent a lovely night by the fire. We were comfortable sleeping in the cabin with the windows open. The farm was very cool although the llama (alpaca?) didn't seem to like me :) The owner was amazing and went above and beyond when we left something behind. Would definitely recommend as a unique overnight stay.

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay despite Diamond and Luna the alpacas not being overly friendly lol it typically takes food to motivate them :). Thanks for staying with us.

Great Stay - Wish I Would've Known...

overall , such a great experience. I was prepared for a glamping experience BUT I wish I would have known a few things-The mini cabin has 3 windows, none of which have curtains... a bit creepy at night but no big deal!-Bring lanterns with full charge!-The mini cabin gets VERY hot , granted we did stay in June haha. We ended up going to Walmart and buying battery powered fans-The bathroom is an outhouse, mainly used for #2. I think it would have been nice to know it was a legit outhouse haha. Managable though. Toilet paper and wipes left out for us-The BUGS. Okay outdoorsbugs BUT the mini cabin gave barely any protection. The roof must have some areas they are able to get in because they were quite literally falling from the ceiling haha. Not to mention we had to keep the window open for some airflow so they were violently trying to get inside-Speaking of airflow. Although there is 3 windows there was not much of a breeze from any direction for us, again manageable-The cooler that is there for guests to put grocery items in is a bit dirty and our bag of ice only lasted a little over a day. I would recommend not needing or expecting much refrigerated needs-The fire pit was cool, only problem of mine personally was the angle it sits on may is slightly difficult to cook food over-The equipment inside the cabin was SUPER helpful over. The 'sink' was great for its purpose, thankful for the stock pile of sink water -Location was great! So much within an hour.

I believe you need to reconsider staying at any glamping location in the future. Doesn’t sound like it’s your thing. The cabin has three windows that open with screens plus a screen door. The outside temperature during your stay was in the 90s with a heat index of nearly 110 degrees. You were staying in the coolest part of our farm maybe county. 😂 Most of my campers bailed due to the heat wave that week. All of the cabin details are in the listing which obviously you did not read since you left your trash onsite making me carry it out. The cabin is Leave No Trace.

Very cute cozy cabin in the woods. No bathroom facility in the cabin so be prepared to use compostable toilet about 40 feet away. It’s like a step down from glamping. I loved the animals on the property and there are some decent hikes there as well. Great location and close to Old Rag!
