• Stargazers heaven • Wine enthusiast delight • Puzzle and game nerd utopia • Nature and History buffs’ paradise • Family and friend time to reflect and connect • Foodies contentment • Birdwatchers enchantment
Morning coffee tastes better when taking in the majestic views of Skyline Drive along the Blue Ridge Mountains. Is that traffic I hear? No, it’s the Shenandoah River babbling along on its’ daily commute.

The Drive The one mile dirt road to get to our cabin is not state owned. It’s not steep, but it is full of potholes. Slow and steady will get you to the cabin. You do not need a truck or 4 wheel drive. HOWEVER- months where snow is in the forecast will require 4 wheel drive, as we do not know when or if someone will be able to plow. Parking is unlimited.
Guest access • Keyless entry. As our guest you will have full access to our 3000+ sq ft home, and 3 acres of wooded property
Security For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, Bluebird Hill Cabin is equipped with three security cameras. One camera is dedicated to capturing activity at the front door, another is positioned to monitor the driveway, and the third is located on the basement porch, focusing on the door. Most importantly, no cameras are placed inside the house, underscoring our strong commitment to prioritizing both your safety and privacy.
Pets • $20 per pet, per night . Well behaved dogs older than 1 and up to date on flea & tick preventative medicine will be considered • Limited to 2 dogs • Large and small crate, dog beds and bowls provided • NOTE: $100 per pet charge if you neglect to inform us that you are bringing a pup along
So Much to Do • Canoe/ Kayak/ Raft – Do you know? Front Royal is the Canoe Capital of Virginia! Rent or bring your own. • Skyline Drive- Hiking and biking is great, but you can also just DRIVE. Lots of places to stop and picnic. • Stargaze- The night sky comes alive at our cabin in the woods. • Sit and Stare- The Mountain View is ever changing with the weather and seasons. It is always a good time to sit and stare. We do not have water access, but we have a great view of the Shenandoah River in late fall and winter. You can hear the water flowing from the cabin. • Fire pit with wood provided- Nothing like a good Kumbaya at the end of a perfect day. • Wine- Lots of wineries within 30-40 minutes of the cabin. • Beer- Some breweries are in the area and more are popping up yearly. • Hike / Bike- Skyline drive, Shenandoah State Park and Andy Guest State Park are short drives away. • Dinosaurs- Dinosaur Land. A silly destination for the young dino fan. • History- Check out the digital guidebook • Golf- Our digital guidebook has personal notes on our favorite courses. $-$$$. • Bird watching- When the bears are napping, we will leave you some bird seed. Lots of marked bird watching trails are close by. • Caverns- The simplistic Skyline Caverns is close by. The larger and more colorful Luray Caverns is approximately 30-40 minutes. • Absolutely Nothing- You can do everything or nothing at all. Your vacation, your choice.
Noteworthy stuff • No traffic noise, no street lights. Come to relax with family, friends and nature. This is not a typical "rental". It is owner managed and has everything you will need to call it home for the short time you are here. • It may seem a world away, but our cabin is really very close to everything. 15-30 minutes away from Skyline Drive, wineries, caverns, hiking, biking, golf, antiquing, history, festivals and so much more.

This place was extremely cozy, comfy, and peaceful! Well appointed with games and things to do indoors and out! Beds and TVs were great for individual or family movie time! Game room was a hit. The views were amazing! Very well thought out and lovely! Would absolutely recommend and come back to stay again and again!
Thank you Ann and Gail for making our stay just about perfect! The views are spectacular! But more so is the comfort of the cabin. They have thought about everything! And the cabin is well maintained and clean. Many suggestions provided for places to eat and shop also. We will be returning!!
Beautiful house, nicely furnished with pretty much everything you could need - incredible views of the hills and river - super responsive owners - great hikes nearby - just a perfect getaway spot!
This property is fantastic!! It has everything you could ever need - and MORE! Owners have thought of everything! We are already planning our next trip!
We absolutely love staying at this property. It’s clean, well-stocked, and best of all, it has absolutely beautiful views. We hope to be back again soon!
We had a wonderful ti.e feeding and photographing the many birds. Also saw deer and turkeys. Very quiet and excellent for star gazing. Road to cabin was terrible because of rains but we survived. Would go back again.to house we called
My sister and I and our families stayed at this wonderful cabin in Virginia. We loved our time swimming in the Shenandoah River, enjoyed the Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park, explored neighboring cities and sites, and were glad to return to the spacious and comfortable accommodations provided by the owners.
This is the place to stay in the fall. The view is unbeatable. It is close enough to Front Royal to get dinner/groceries/etc. It is just minutes to Skyline Drive. We particularly liked sitting by the fireplace enjoying the mountain view!
A beautiful cabin in great proximity to Shenandoah National Park. We loved everything about the cabin, inside and out with beautiful views! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to hike Shenandoah and still wanting privacy and a relaxing place to stay afterwards.
This was our second year at the cabin. Just a wonderful place with great amenities and a gorgeous view. Plenty of room and enough bathrooms for all. We enjoyed the fire pit each evening.
Surrounded By the Healing Sights & Sounds of Nature
What an amazing stay. This cabin is so lovingly well thought out, and it felt like home for our long weekend stay. We had everything we needed to cook lovely meals in the kitchen. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. The screened-in porch was lovely for dinner al fresco. We loved watching and listening to ALL the birds, and you can even hear the river gurgling below. The cabin provides privacy and comfort; however, it is just a short drive from all the region has to offer. Added bonus: this cabin was so clean and tidy, super clean and tidy. Thank you so much!
A beautiful home only exceeded by the great view! A great place to stay with family and young kids. Dog friendly too! The owners
were incredibly kind and mailed back some books we left behind. We would love to go back and stay again!
This is our third visit to this property, which I feel should be telling in itself. It's a wonderful property, all the photos are accurate to the location, and it's wonderful for just being out in nature. Ann and Gail are responsive to messages and also check in when you first arrive. Check-in is easy and their communication is great!
We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our anniversary! Beautiful house inside and out. Wonderfully decorated and furnished. So quiet and peaceful. And fun watching the birds and deer! Will come back!
My multi-generational family loved this peaceful property. The views are spectacular, the kitchen is well- equipped, and the beds are comfortable. The many games and puzzles kept us entertained on rainy days.
A beautiful home with everything you need for your stay. Attention to details by providing so many extras was great. Comfortable beds & pillows. Beautiful views, peaceful & quiet location. Convenient to the Skyline Drive. Hostesses were quick to respond to emails, gracious and very helpful with things. Can't say enough nice things about this property.
This was such a perfect place for our group to celebrate our BFF’s 50th birthday! We loved everything about this house from the layout to the privacy! Not one thing was ever needed- house has it all! The 5 star reviews were absolutely 100% true!
Wonderful property! Well equipped, well maintained, very clean and very peaceful. My entire family, my wife, two daughters, two son-in-laws and a one year old grandson had a peaceful three days and nights.
This was our second time at this house and we are all looking forward to visit number three next year!
Top tier property!! Cabin feel in a beautiful home. Every thing we could have possibly needed was there. Hosts are exceptional and accessible. The views!!!!! The stars at night!!
Very comfortable living and bedrooms on 3 separate floors made our stay more pleasant.
Let the ping pong tournaments begin!
This place is perfect for families or couples. The hosts provided everything you would need plus added thoughtful touches. The cabin is so well decorated, very whimsical. The view is breathtaking. I stay at a lot of cabins and this is def my favorite. I will resent again!
