It was a cute little cottage but should have had better sitting area. The futton was short and low and hard for someone with bad knees to get out of.

Great private little cabin!

Overall it was an excellent stay! Very cleanly and cute place. Had everything we needed provided for linens and kitchen supplies! Very nice views of the mountains and not too far of a drive for all the activities in the area. Only thing we had an issues with was a hornets nest is the outdoor pergola. But other than that it was perfect! Recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

A great getaway

This is a great little cabin in the Shenandoah! It was clean and cozy and, as a woman traveling alone, was remote enough to feel like a getaway without feeling too isolated. Definitely recommend!

Cute and cozy

It was so cozy and had great views. We spent most of our time in Shenandoah national park but it was nice to come back to this little cabin each night. It was clean and we had no problems. We would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect ♥️

This was our second time staying at Whippoorwill Nest. The location is perfect, out of the way, but close to everything you need. The view of the mountains from the cabin is beautiful. You also have good cell service, which is a huge bonus. We will definitely continue to come back to this place 😊

Puts the R in R & R

Rest and Relaxation is very easy to have in this beautiful little cabin. Bunnies, Deer and constant bird song made it such an enjoyable visit. Clean and cleaner was the cabin. Nothing fancy but it’s where we will stay in the future on trips to the area. The front porch was a great hangout and the solitude is close enough to ‘civilization’ if you don’t want to cook in the cabin.

Great Getaway in Shenandoah

This was our first time using VRBO and we were not disappointed. We wanted a weekend getaway where we could ride our motorcycles. This was perfect. The GPS not so much as it had us going 1/4 mile past the driveway... but we quickly found the house and it was perfect. Just the right size for 2. We didn't spend a lot of time there - since we were out and about during the day.
