This was our second time staying at one of John’s properties, and we loved it just as much this time as we did the first time! Location is beautiful and convenient, and we really enjoyed bringing our dog along for the trip! Already looking forward to our next stay here.

The Cozy Cabin and the property are both beautiful. We especially enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck overlooking the river and the mountains and spending our evenings in front of the fireplace. The home was inviting, check-in was very smooth, and communication with John was excellent.

We had a wonderful experience at Cozy Cabin! The view from the bedroom and deck is amazing. Loved the raised Adirondack chairs on the deck. Awesome spot to sit and have coffee in the morning while enjoying the view. Gas fireplace is a nice bonus in the larger bedroom.

Cozy Cottage is just that - cozy! The view is better than the photos. Adirondack chairs under a covered porch outside the primary bedroom to sit and watch the river and sunsets. Fireplace with big comfy leather couches inside, fully stocked kitchen and the bed was very comfortable. Slept well in the peaceful environment. Definitely planning on coming back for a wonderful disconnect and relax week.

This was absolutely beautiful!!! We will definitely be back. The scenery was amazing. Cabin was very charming, inside and out. The only things that would be an improvement is if the driveway by the main road was a little more even (I’m glad I didn’t have my car on the trip because it may have been rough getting up there) and if there was a little dock with a kayak or 2. That would be a bonus!!

Thanks for writing a review and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and our cabin. We appreciate your feedback and have considered providing more river activity options, but our insurance company prohibits that due to liability exposure. We hope you will return soon.

Best rec is that we are REPEAT renters. Location, location, location! Beyond beautiful setting on a bluff above the Shenandoah River. Deck with 180 degree free range viewing. Morning coffee and evening wine was eagle, woodpecker, many other avian visitors to the deck. Very comfortable Adirondack seating on deck. Cabin is exquisite. Many upscales flourishes. All VRBO pictures are accurate. Very comfortable. Everything works first time. Location is within a few miles of north entry to Federal Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive. Virginia State Shenandoah Park is surrounding the cabin. Day trips are an abundance of USA history, wineries, out door activities, Virginia countryside and burgs.

This cabin was so comfortable and cozy. It was just as described and easy to find. The maps once inside the gate were well marked and check in was easy. We used the kitchen a lot and found everything we needed there. Pictures really don't do this place justice. They views were beautiful and the cabin itself was rustic with a modern bathroom. We did navigate the trail along the cliff down to the river one day to swim for a bit. It was tough, but doable. That little hike was one of our favorite parts. Thanks for a great stay!

John is an awesome host. He was there for me every step of the way. The cabin is beautiful and the scenery is so wonderful. The cabin is well stocked with all your necessities and clean. This is called "Cozy Cabin" , and it sure is Cozy . The main bedroom is great, with the fireplace and the sliding glass doors. Drinking coffee in the morning taking in the beautiful site and listening to the birds is more then words can explain. Being on top of the hill gave an opportunity to see beautiful sun sets and sun rises. Our dog loved his walks through wooded lanes, and all those smells. I wish I could put into words how peaceful our stay was. Thank you John !!
