Absolutely wonderful weekend

Had a wonderful time. The house is very eclectic, rustic, and visually applealing. Love the set up and all the bathrooms. There was evidence of it not being as clean as it could have been, and the stove top did not work well. But, overall, it was a great weekend and beautiful place to stay in the mountains.

50th Wedding Anniversary

We celebrated our 50th weddng anniversary with our family. Ages from 4 to 92. We enjoyed the view (would be better without the 2 trees!), the fishing, the woods. We found a swimming hold in the Shenandoah Nat'l Park not far from the house and we all enjoyed it.

Shennandoah Foothills

Sixteen family members ranging from age two to sixty-eight all enjoyed this home. It's large with three levels (not handicapped accessible except the bottom floor) and a lovely cabin style inside. It has been well loved by the owner's family and has many travel mementos and trophies inside. This gives it a lot of character. It's so large, it's hard to keep everything spotless and dust free, but the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were all clean. The A/C went out while we were there, but the manager had someone come out and it was repaired as soon as possible. It's near the National Park, and we enjoyed several other activities suggested by the host. There aren't a lot of restaurants in the immediate vicinity, but the nearby wineries and brewhouse offer simple meals, and larger restaurants are only about fifteen to twenty minutes away.

Fun family vacation!

The property is beautiful. The house is like stepping into a museum with very unique decor. The kids loved the game room and fishing in the pond. The kitchen is well stocked with everything for cooking meals. My only complaint was a lack of linens for the bunkroom and flat pillows in almost every bedroom. I called the host but only heard a busy signal. You cannot call anyone on your cells from the house, no service, had to use the house phone to try to reach her. Fortunately for us a daughter was arriving the next day and brought us linens. We were a family of 16 but 2 of the kids slept on air mattresses which we brought because the bunkroom had 4 boys aged 12 to 15 who could not share double mattresses with their girl cousins. There is a futon downstairs which came in handy. Firepit was perfect for s'mores and the air conditioning worked great. Bathrooms were spotless and well stocked with toilet paper. Very unique also! We had a wonderful time!

Business Retreat

Group of 7 of us stayed for an business strategy and planning retreat. The house is spacious with many comfortable rooms and three really nice group gathering areas. From housing perspective, it was perfect for us and we never felt tight or cramped. Access to Old Rag parking was 10-12 minutes, and maybe 25 minutes to Shenandoah Nat Park Entrance, but easy. 15 minutes to Sperryville. This is is country. There is wifi at the house, but as a group we found cell coverage very spotty and wifi was slow. We made it work for us and adapted. The Corner Store at the bottom of the hill has enough of what you will need, but suggest you bring groceries on your way in to the house. We stayed at Sun Dancer. There are 3 separate houses on this property (all rentals) and they share the grounds. The houses are each very private, and we did not feel like there were others around. If you wanted a place for a large family re-union, the total property could easily host if the other houses were available. Our host was super easy to work with and the check in/out process was really easy. We had a really nice time and would certainly consider returning.

Our stay at Sun Dancer was great! Everyone had comfortable sleeping arrangements. Our location to Old Rag Mountain was convenient for doing the hike. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit at night and seeing the star filled sky. We walked the trails on the property. They were a little overgrown but still doable. We would see a mother and baby fox every day down the driveway. As much as I don't like to cut down trees, it would be nice if one of the trees in front of the house was not there. It blocks the wonderful view. Plenty of vineyards and distilleries to visit. We would stay there again.

The cabin is located on a huge, beautiful property and overall has a lot of potential. The owner was very accommodating and kindly allowed early check-in and late check-out, which I really appreciated.However, there was a significant issue with bugs inside the cabin, which affected the comfort of the stay. Aside from that, the cabin itself is nice, but this issue made the experience less enjoyable.Overall, I liked the property and hospitality, but improvements are needed in pest control for a better guest experience.

Absolutely terrific for our group of 10 old farts and their adult children for our annual reunion. Beautiful house and furnishings, spectacular view of the valley from the living room and front deck. Superb local hiking. Great weather might have influenced this review, but I would highly recommend this property and its hosts.

It was a perfect weekend. The house is great for large groups, the bedrooms are all spaced out and there is so many bathrooms, that everyone had privacy. The decor is very eclectic and interesting, made me wonder about the travel stories that went with them. My favorite was hands down the master bathroom. A larger grill would be good as well as all the pieces to the checkers and chess sets. Convenient to wineries/breweries. Ducard is our favorite. We would definitely return!

Lovely home in the heart of the Shenandoah

We had a great time at this beautiful home! We came with a group of friends and the set-up was just perfect - plenty of room for all. The home was clean, the owners were very easy to communicate with, and we had a comfortable stay. The fire pit area outside is not ideal for large groups, but we made it work so we could still enjoy some S'mores!

Interesting hunting lodge property. Unique decor. Outside was bit rusted and old, and the lighting and fans were left to be desired, but the foozball table and the entertainment downstairs were great. Air condition was blasting freezing cold air though we tried to adjust it

Great Getaway

Overall the place was just as described and the stay was amazing. It had everything we needed, just I think some improvements would be better internet as 50 is not good for more then 2 people at a time. Also only giving 1 paper towel for a house that is supposed to house 14 people does not seem proportionally and I think certain things should be cleared up before hand on that as the nearest grocery stores isn't too far, but still a bit out of the way is all.

Beautiful area, wonderful property!

The house was awesome for our big family get-together. Lots of bedrooms and big open areas for us to gather. The cabin is well equipped and full of charm. Some wonderful hikes as close as a 10 minute drive away, and the property itself is gorgeous, watching the sunrise out of the huge picture windows each morning was an unexpected bonus! Small note to future guests: the area is isolated so cell coverage was iffy to non-existent for most of us. Wifi is pretty slow, but strong enough to text and stream music at least. Overall a wonderful stay!

Amazing place!

Stayed here with a group of friends earlier this summer to celebrate a birthday. Everyone raved about how beautiful it was and continues to do so a month later. The house itself is wonderful - large and beautifully appointed with plenty of beds and bathrooms - and the land surrounding it is lush and verdant and peaceful. We spent our days biking and running and hiking and then cooked amazing dinners in the enormous kitchen. Best of all was the profusion of fireflies that appeared once the sun had set. I haven't seen that many fireflies since I was a kid. It was a wonderful weekend.

Virginia Mountain Getaway

Home was clean. Plenty of space for everyone. Property manager was attentive. Pond was a good hike from the house but provided refuge and the fish were biting. Not much very close by but we found a zip line experience, wineries and an escape room. I swam in the Shenandoah River and our 2 year old swam in the stream at the end of the road. We tried the property loop trail but never found the stream. We missed the outdoor shower. House was set up well for our family group of 12.
