Beautiful Location

We stayed here to visit the Shenandoah National Park. It was about a half an hour drive to the entrance. Not far from Luray Caverns and a Walmart. The place is cute, but you do have to walk up a lot of stairs to get to the room. There were 5 very cute cows on site that we got to see everyday.

Perfect Vacation

The property is beautiful. Perfect location right on the Shenandoah River. A short drive to Luray and Shenandoah Park. The loft itself is amazingly decorated and luxurious. Chip is a phenomenal host as well. Can’t wait for our next stay! It is by far the best place we have stayed In Shenandoah, and we had stayed at some good properties in the past.

Shenandoah Relaxation at its best

From start to finish our stay was spectacular. The apartment was spotless and had a very functional kitchen. Hosts were very attentive yet always in the background and out of sight. Would definitely visit here again.

Wildlife Viewing

We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and very private. The host is very friendly and replies very quickly to questions. The deer abundant we enjoyed sitting out side watching them late in the evenings. We had everything we needed to enjoy a nice relaxing few days in the mountains.

Shenandoah Mountain vacation

The property was clean and comfortable. The location was distanced from other properties. We enjoyed seeing the horses, cattle and deer nearby. We were not too far from the national park, the river and other attractions to visit. All in all we had a very pleasant stay.

Nicely furnished and very clean

While looking for a place that was near Luray Caverns we came across this rental unit. Once we saw this unit we knew right away this is where we wanted to stay. The online pictures very accurately described this unit. It was very well furnished and nicely decorated. It was a very quiet rural area and close to the places we came to visit.

Great Stay

The host was excellent! We had a minor issue with the refrigerator, but the host promptly resolved the issue. This carriage house was beautiful and very well maintained. The area was beautiful as well, and not far from two entrances to the Shenandoah National Park. I will definitely come back here!

Wonderful Retreat

We were looking to decompress after the holidays, and this property was perfect! Beautiful views, warm, friendly hosts, and so close to Luray and Shenandoah National Park. We were able to drink in some nature and relax. Loved the chickens and the cows. Thank you to our host, Chip, for the delicious, fresh eggs. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely country retreat

We used this place as a home base when visiting Shenandoah national park. The grounds are beautiful and the apartment is perfect for 2-4 people. It’s cozy, was very warm on chilly November evenings and was very quiet inside, and has everything I could have thought of. The host was very easy going and kind! 5/5 would definitely recommend

A peaceful and lovely retreat

The accommodations and location were perfect! I was looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, and this abode was absolutely serene. Plus, the interiors were so cozy, and I loved how the host set the ambience to be really welcoming. Also, for anyone wanting to cook, this is THE place. The kitchen is fully loaded, and the host even offered to lend anything else I might need for my cooking purposes. I would definitely go back!

Dog friendly paradise

The owner Chip created a really special getaway spot. The apartment was first rate and the ability to take our lab on walks down to river and around the valley property each morning was super special. The rest of the day we explored attractions and breweries. 10 out of 10!

Loved this property in the peaceful and beautiful Shenandoah valley. Everything you need is there. The farm animals were a delight. My dogs had plenty of room to stretch their legs. Chip, Please thank mom for the eggs and delicious salsa. I need that recipe.

Cute little spot in the mountains

We absolutely appreciated the setting, general vibes, and kind communication from our host. He even dropped off fresh eggs on our first day! We did notice that the unit hadn’t seemed to get a full clean recently. There was some dusty areas, dishes put away dirty (could have been a guest), and the toilet had a mold ring around it. All that said, we would still come back to this spot because of its ease of access to spots like Luray Caverns, and Skyline Drive. Would be 4.5 stars if that was possible.

Great location for VA hiking

Nestled between the Washington and Jefferson National Forest and Shenandoah National Park, this property is perfect for those wanting to explore the outdoor beauty of Virginia. I went with my two dogs and we had a blast hiking the remote mountain woods...two great trailheads were only 15 minutes from the house. This carriage house is quite nice and well appointed. Down a gravel road, well off the beaten path, it was a peaceful retreat for anyone looking to get away. It's a comfortable size for one or two people, but up to four could stay and still have space. I highly recommend this house for those who looking to explore the area.

Fantastic, relaxing stay

We loved our recent stay! The place was very cozy and inviting (not to mention: insanely clean,too!) upon arrival. Everything you need is there and very well organized. Having a one year old, it was a great property to roam. We enjoyed visiting horses/cows and chickens, and even new baby chicks! We loved walking down to the river- great scenery. Chip and his parents are so so friendly and very knowledgeable about the property, animals and the surrounding area if you have any questions. Shenandoah National park is not too far away, no more than 30 mins, we also enjoyed Luray Caverns which is a must. We appreciated our tasty, fresh organic chicken eggs at our door in the morning, as well as your homemade salsa to take home! Thank you again Chip, Mom & Dad :)

A nice getaway on a quiet farm

Overall, pretty quiet and comfortable. The unit is actually the upstairs of a detached garage that has been recently furnished. This was a bit different than expected, as we thought it was more of a guest house situated on the far end of property and that we would be a bit more solitary. We discovered the refrigerator wasn't working when we arrived although this wasn't a major inconvenience for us. The owner was helpful and very responsive the entire time, and yet gave us enough distance that we felt alone on the property. Their property is large, but perhaps because of the housing situation we did not feel comfortable enough to wander, and there were also fences everywhere so we felt like we may have been trespassing on unknown property if we did so. It felt more of situation where if you plan to spend the entire day in Shenandoah, this would be a good place to come back for a comfortable place to sleep (which became our case) Still, this was a nice getaway - feedback to improve I would suggest: - Leaving directions for checkout (we did not know where to put trash, laundry, etc) - Ensure appliances work before guests check-in - Better pictures or descriptions of property to show living space is not full house depicted - Signs or information marking where it is okay to wander or lounge on property if allowed I hope this helps someone.
