The house is charming and comfortable. We upstairs bedroom has a great balcony and jacuzzi tub. It’s a little off the beaten path but great for a weekend away for some hiking.
The property was beautiful and the house was well equipped. The host was very communicative and we felt very welcome. This is an ideal location for hiking and activities!
The house was comfortable and felt remote and private yet close to many options to eat and activities. We loved it and our dog loved the yard. Would totally stay again if visiting Shenandoah again.
We loved our stay! Clean, comfortable, spacious, well-equipped, and close to great hiking. Upstairs owner's suite is fabulous. Comfy beds, nice porch. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful time staying in the cabin, It is well off the road and private with lots of nice outside space. Just a three minute drive from the White Oak Canyon trailhead. The kitchen is well-stocked with all you could need to cook your means and the living room well-furnished for comfy evenings around the fire.
Had a wonderful stay. Spent loads of time around the fireplace, played loads of games and hiked Shenandoah. Loved the configuration of the house, the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware, spices and aluminum foil which is rare for a rare but greatly appreciated!

Excellent location
The house is a perfect location for accessing Old Rag and White Oak Canyon trail. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. The family room is cozy and the kitchen table is great for meals and games. If you are sensitive to mold, this is not the right house for you. The house was musty. Black flecks of mold(?) landed on our pillows each morning during the day after we made the bed. We left a day early because we felt unwell.
My wife and I were in need of some time away from our work. This property was perfect. A quiet retreat in the woods away from the Shenandoah National Park crowds. The house was cozy and warm. The wildlife was plentiful and active. We enjoyed walks around the property, hikes up the hill, and drives around the local area. We made it over to DuCard Vineyard for some music and wine which was great. We did head up to Skyland and Big Meadows, but the crowds at all the sights were too much. We did enjoy a nice drive through the park. We hope to make it back soon.

Please more floor lamps, not just overheads. Also, couldn’t find a bottle opener. Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful location!!! Found charger.
Our four-day stay was serene - the beds were so comfortable it was hard to get up and leave, but the surrounding area was definitely worth putting on our boots. The dogs loved the yard, and my husband relaxed in front of the fireplace for most of the stay. We enjoyed the local fall activities, you name it, it was happening! Perfect.
We booked this house for our weekend getaway to Graves Mountain Apple Festival. Good location , very peaceful and quiet location. The house was very clean and had everything you could ever need especially in the kitchen. We used the gas grill and fire pit in the yard both nights . Very cozy living room! Would definitely come back!
We stayed here while visiting wineries and Shenandoah National Park with some friends. It was a great place to relax at the end of the day. Nice and remote.
This was our second stay at Gary's house. Everything was perfect and this trip was even better than last year's. Great house, fire pit and grill - and easy proximity to White Oak Canyon and Old Rag. We'll be back next year!
The house was nice and quiet, perfect for our "old guys" get-away hiking trip to Old Rag and White Oak Canyon trails. The owner was super-helpful with recommendations and met all of our needs.
Truly enjoyed being out in nature. House is close to my favorite hikes and nice wineries! Beautiful views. Host offered nice supply of paper goods, linens and firewood. Host was also easy to contact with any questions.
Loved the home. Beautiful setting. Convenient and easy access to activities. Loved the store at Syria(Welcome to the farm). Best milk shakes. Great sandwiches and biscuits! Friendly and welcoming!
This home was the perfect distance from our friends' wedding venue. Although we initially had a minor issue getting into the home, once inside we were pleased to find it very clean and ready for our weekend stay. The driveway getting there is a bit narrow with branches (and as promised, narrow turn around space at the top of the hill), but the yard is open and inviting.
