About this property

Quiet Home in Harrisonburg with Spectacular Shenandoah Valley Views.

The interior is light, airy, and spacious. The kitchen is well-equipped with tableware, dishes, pots and pans. Fair-trade coffee, tea, and sugar are provided. There is parking space for three cars in the driveway. In addition to the spectacular view, the home offers quick and easy access to EMU and JMU in minutes. There are grocery stores conveniently located near-by and delicious food within walking distance, including Bowl of Good and La Morena's. The Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the George Washington National Forest to the the west. Both areas are renown for skiing, hiking and biking trails, and dramatic foliage in the fall. We are also about fifteen miles from Massanuttan Ski Resort and Water Park.
The area around Harrisonburg hosts a number of music festivals, including Red Wing Roots Festival, Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival, and the Shenandoah Music Festival. The town has a quiet small town charm with impressive public parks and an Annual Chocolate Walk in addition to other festive events throughout the year. As an added bonus, area universities offer a wide range of cultural performances throughout the year. And the splendid American Shakespeare Blackfriars Playhouse is a mere thirty minutes away in Staunton, Virginia.
There is a separate apartment over the garage to our house where a friend of the family lives. Their apartment is separate from the house but they park in the garage sometimes so please avoid parking them in.

Quilting Retreat

We are all over 70 and love quilting. It was good to catch up with family and show off the quilts we’ve made. We had a Quilts Of Valor presentation to our cousin who served in the army. Such a great event. We really liked the house because there was just a step or two to get inside. It’s a great place to stay.

Great place to stay

This was a perfect place for us to stay during EMU's graduation. The college was literally just a few minute walk away. The house was very clean and large. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch taking in the amazing view of the valley. Would definitely stay here again.

Golf Trip

Four of us old friends tried this place as the site for our annual golf get-together. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We all fit in easily. The house was clean and very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the view from the front porch. If we decide to stay in Harrisonburg again in the future, we will definitely stay here.

The PERFECT Rental For JMU Families

We've stayed at this property 4 times now. It could not be more perfect for JMU families. Situated just a couple miles off campus in a quiet neighborhood offering a panoramic view of the mountains, this house is a gem. The house itself is in immaculate condition and offers ample space for larger groups. Mary, the owner, could not be more attentive and responsive to her tenants. It's simply the perfect location. We will be back again and again.
