Shenandoah Paradise
Look no further for your stay in the Shenandoah mountains. This gorgeous spot was so peaceful and serene.All you could hear were birds chirping, the rustling wind and river. There are kayaks, a fire pit, outdoor picnic tables and hammocks. It is a birding, hiking, and kayaking paradise. The house itself is beautifully decorated and each room was large, tasteful, and comfortable. The master bedroom was huge, comfortable and elegant. It had everything we needed including a large bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the room well lit. There was plenty of room for our clothing. The kitchen was well stocked with every condiment,,we could want. There were ample plates, silverware, cups, glasses, pots and pans. We thought we would go out to dinner more often, but we wound up eating in because the property was so gorgeous. We didn’t want to leave. Enjoy your stay at this beautiful property. We hope to come back very soon.

Post Christmas Trip
The property was peaceful. There are plenty of paces to stroll and nearby hiking trails as well. The sound of the water was soothing and relaxing. I am sure it must be a great retreat from the heat of the summer as tubing and kayaking would be readily available.

42nd anniversary trip
As other have said, the pictures only hint at the beauty of this property. We had planned to do some tourist visits to the caverns, etc, but we realized we were already in our own private mountain park and it couldn't get any better than this. We hiked, fished in the river, and grilled steaks from Crabill's up the street. We watched the mountain range on all sides of the surrounding valley turn into fall. We identified more song birds in this spot than in any other rental. We watched as deer, wild turkey and cattle grazed in the field. The night sky was wonderful for star gazing, and I even saw a meteor. If we could live here, we would....

Everything was perfect. The pictures of the property don’t do the beauty justice. Gorgeous setting in the valley, by the river, with mountain range all around. The house had everything we needed and more. We’ll be back again for sure!

A Garden of Eden(with a Farmhouse)
To be honest, I would like to give Kathleen and Jerry's property a negative review, in order to keep the place all to myself...but the truth should be told. The pictures on the website do not give an accurate depiction of the house or the property. It is WAY more beautiful, charming, and comfortable. As soon as we arrived, it felt as though we were plopped down in the middle of an National Geographic nature show. In our first few moments we were greeted by Whitetail Deer, Wild Turkey, Great Blue herons, Green herons, Belted Kingfishers, Osprey, and a huge variety of songbirds. The list continued to grow as the weekend continued...and the Smallmouth bass were bitin'!!! The farmhouse, itself, is much roomier than it appears in the photos. It was actually rather surprising. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The kitchen is as well. The cabinets are better stocked than those at my own house. From a large array of spices to every cooking utensil that you could possibly need, you will want for nothing. The plentiful supply of towels and the bed linens are soft and of obvious high quality. The one rainy day gave us a well-needed day of rest from all our outdoor activities. Even then, Mother Nature's show continued through the large windows throughout the house. We all could still watch the deer and flocks of turkey feeding in the surrounding fields. A rolling mist across the green mountains gave us the illusion being in Ireland. This place is simply heaven!!!

We had a very nice weekend in a beautiful area. It was a very peaceful stay. The house was very well equipped and we had a nice time kayaking and tubing on the river. The host was very helpful and available for any questions.

Lovely stay in a beautiful setting
The house and property are exactly as advertised. Very clean, spacious, and well appointed. Plenty of space for our family of four plus grandma. The property is huge and in a very quiet and peaceful setting. Kids loved the direct access to the river. The host is very responsive and we took her many suggestions for local food, local meat at Crabill’s (best breakfast sausage ever!), and local activities. Could not have asked for anything more. It was a great reprieve from our temporary apartment living while our house is being renovated. Definitely recommend this property if your goal is to relax in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley!

Private and Peaceful Paradise
What a great getaway from the hustle and bustle in a beautifully private setting. Once you arrive you feel like you are far away from everything. However, you are only minutes away from so many other options. The beauty of the property and the river is amazing. The farmhouse was spacious, comfortable and very clean. Everything that you need to cook is available in the kitchen. We stopped at Crabill's Store as suggested and picked up a few delicious steaks and bacon - so glad we did!. We enjoyed the easy access to the river and the kayaks and floats that were provided with the property. The pavilion was more than expected with electric and items for campfire and other conveniences. Fishing was best from right off the bridge. The hosts were very detailed and informative prior to our arrival. They made you feel right at home. The entire process from beginning to end was so easy. We were only on a short weekend break but enjoyed every minute of our stay. Looking forward to staying again! I highly recommend experiencing the serenity of this property.
