Hiking with Family

The property was beautiful and close to Shenandoah where my family was hiking for the weekend. It was nice to come back to a comfy retreat after hours of hiking. The property was clean and had peaceful surroundings.

Perfect Labor Day Stay

This property was perfect. We used the fire pit, watched thunderstorms from the porch, floated in the river, slept in the very comfy bed and had a perfect long weekend. I'd love to come back someday.

A lovely river house

We had a wonderful time here! Everything was easy and relaxed. Close to a store for groceries, right on the river for daily, any-time swims, an easy drive to Shenandoah National Park. We would love to return here again.

We were looking for a quite place to get away with easy access to Shenandoah National park. This farmhouse was just the thing we needed. The renovations were well done and we were very comfortable here. The house was always very prompt in replying to questions. Thanks for a wonderful stay

Convenient and Comfortable, with Room for Improvement

The house was in a convenient location and we found the beds very comfortable. Kitchen had all cooking essentials provided. The outdoor space looked great, even though we didn’t have time to utilize it. There was an AC issue for the 2nd floor and Chrisi (the host) was quick to respond and sent someone out quickly. Communication with the Property Manager was less responsive and unsure of items on site. Check in was easy and the house was tidy. A few housekeeping oversights (hair in shower drain/not draining well, dirty sheets in washer, etc.), and a strong dog odor when the mini-split was running. We also found out 4 days before check-in that we were responsible for taking all trash to a refuse center (not mentioned in listing). With our son’s graduation/moving out, we were unable to make it while it was open. To avoid the 50 fee for leaving trash we had to take it home to Massachusetts with us.

Shenendoah Escape

Two far-flung brothers and me, along with some adult offspring, met up for fishing and fun - great location and accomodations. Plenty of room for our crowd - river landing worked well for launching our craft to float and fish for smallmouth. Two porches and acres of yard to romp.

Disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with family

Beautiful property enjoyed by the whole family. Great yard for kite flying and great space to relax by the river. Firepit was enjoyed every night, and the big table in the family room was perfect for games and puzzle making. Location perfect for short trip to Luray Cavern, hiking in Shenandoah National Park and tubing down the river. We didn't want to leave!

Great location

Family trip to see Shenandoah National Park. Property is perfect location to park and to Elkton. Private and secluded. My son fished every day and caught every day. Enjoyed the canoe as well. Washer and dryer super handy after all day adventures! Had a couple of things needed help with and the host was extremely responsive! Comfy beds and plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out inside and outside!

Cute Farmhouse

What a cute farmhouse. It brought back so many memories of visits to my grandparents’ friends’ farm when I was a kid. We enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit and toasting S’mores. I especially loved watching the lightning bugs put on a show. We really appreciate everything you did to ensure that our “working vacation” was a success!

Wonderful mix of modern and rustic

The care in renovation is evident and they invested wisely. Everything you'd want modern is modern but they didn't lose the rustic, charm of the place. We suspect more improvements are on the way. Say hi to the groundhog. We've named him Elkton John.

Tough place to find when we arrived at night, but reading the reviews i knew this. I would recommend a sign at the "Y" in the drive way to point to the house. The house itself was very nice. There is definitely a smell of dogs in the house so if that is an issue, this may not be your place. I was not able to utilize the outdoor spaces or the river because of a storm. I was there for a JMU finction and it was in a great location, far enough yet close enough. Again the only issue is the dog smell, i would not return based off that alone. I am not a dog owner so do not care for it. However, like i said if this is not an issue, the place is great. Thank you for having us.

Oh Shenandoah!

What a lovely home on the Shenandoah River! With all the amenities of home, mountain views in front and back of the house, we were in heaven! Spent every day hiking in Shenandoah National Park with waterfalls and great views at every turn. Caught smallmouth bass in the river behind the house. Our dog loved the fields and trails. Right next to Harrisonburg and JMU, and five minutes from Massanutten where the kids drove go carts, tubed down a grass covered slope, and took a zip line down the mountain. Be sure to treat yourself to breakfast at Firebird Cafe and custard at Kline's Dairy Bar. Will definitely return!
