This was a well stocked, well thought out and beautiful place to stay. I will stay there as often as I can when I go up to the mountains. There are five of us who stayed and we were all impressed with the place.
I would 100% recommend staying here. The owners were accommodating and very quick to respond to any questions. The house is adorable and stocked with everything you could need and more. We will be coming back!
Great, well furnished home directly across from Veritas. Had three children under 6, and the home was well equipped to handle all ages. The backyard was full of activities, plenty of child friendly accomdations, and very close and convienent to plenty of wineries, breweries, and hiking!
We loved our stay! The location was absolutely perfect and beautiful. This place blew my expectations away with the amenities and cleanliness. My son loved all of the board games ! Everything was on par with our expectations for a comfortable stay and enjoyable weekend! Will definitely book again.
The proximity of this property to Veritas Vineyards is why we first chose it. But I would choose it again and again if I was visiting the area. The house was well organized, stocked and beautifully decorated. Temperature in the house was easy to control and my whole party was comfortable throughout our stay. Our hosts were super helpful with clear written instructions and recommendations. I needed access to the house after check out on our last day and the hosts were quick to respond and very accommodating. This home was a 10/10!!!
We had an excellent stay! The house was in an ideal location near wineries and breweries. It was perfect for our family and extended family members, including our 17 month old son. The house was clean, well stocked, and equipped with everything we needed for a great family getaway to the area visiting our VA family and friends. The host was excellent in a pinch and we are grateful for the hospitality and care!
