An Unplugged Valentine Weekend!

As soon as we arrived, we knew it was going to be a perfect weekend. It rained most of the time we were there, but it didn't "dampen" our time. We spent a lot of time reading the old newspapers/magazines throughout the home and relaxing in the hot tub or on the lanai. The grounds are spread out enough to just walk around the property and let the puppa dogs stretch their legs. We also took to the trails a couple of days (they are only clear to a point). In the evening we settled in to a nice warm fire in the magnificent fireplace! On the last day my husband even let me beat him in a game of ping pong :) To say the hosts were amazing is a gross understatement. They stayed in touch and made us feel like old friends. Instructions and information were readily available.

Beautiful quiet stay

Enjoyed the stay very much. Quiet stay in the hillside. Hot tub , fire pit , indoor fire place and a nice back deck to relax on. It was very enjoyable and we would return. The upstairs main bedroom mattress was a little hard / firm for our liking. But wasn’t a huge deal. The stay was very much enjoyable overall. Herb was a pleasure to deal with.

A Beautiful Retreat

While feeling isolated from the world, enjoying nature all around, we were still very close to town and activities. We particularly liked that the "game room" was located away from the house and provided great entertainment for all. The one draw back was no bedroom area on the main floor and many steps upstairs and downstairs to go to bedrooms. House was well stocked with everything needed and felt like a comfortable, cozy space.

Graduation weekend

It was a great place to stay for the family close to JMU with a fun cabin feel. The house was rustic as shown but had a fun vibe we had everything we needed and loved the huge fireplace and the hot tub. Didn’t get a chance to explore the property or play outside much as we were busy with graduation activities but it met all our needs for cooking and sleeping and hanging out inside. It was a nice place to celebrate our daughter with family.

Beautiful vacation cabin

We had an amazing time at this cabin and wish we could have stayed longer. It is in a quiet secluded area but the town was not far to go grab groceries and other necesseties. There was lots of room for our dog to run and we really appreciated being able to bring him. Most of our time was spent outdoors. There was a pool, hot tub, grill, and a firepit. Everything was very clean. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything we needed. We have absolutely no complaints! Everything was great! Thank you Herb and Kelly!

Graduation Weekend to Cherish

We really enjoyed staying at Herb and Kelly's beautiful home over the weekend of our daughter's graduation from JMU. It was closer to campus than we expected and had plenty of room for us to spread out. On Friday, we had a wonderful family dinner crafted ou the grill. On the Saturday, after graduation, it was raining and not a lot to do in Harrisonburg. We came back to the house and enjoyed the hot tub and board games. All and all a wonderful weekend was had by all. We so appreciate Herb and Kelly sharing a bit of their family with ours.

Lovely home and location

Herb and Kelly Thatcher rented their lovely home in New Market to us for a week. The house is nestled on a wooded 10-acre property, rustic in appearance, but with all the amenities that we were looking for in a quiet and restful vacation spot. The house was clean and neat, and the appliances worked well. The bonus for us with our six-year-old granddaughter was the playroom off of one of the bedrooms. She thoroughly enjoyed the Little Tykes dollhouse and people in our quiet times, and liked using the vintage Lincoln Logs and Matchbox cars. The pool and hot tub were clean and well-maintained. The location of the home was perfect for getting to area attractions. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet rural place to relax.

Overall relaxing, don’t go for the pool

Overall great vacation home, there are a few things to be improved. There’s no ladder to get out of the pool, so if you’re not a kid, don’t think about it. There’s family pictures and odd decor in odd places. The master suite is cluttered with toddler furniture and has a very firm mattress. Missed potential for a romantic hideaway.
