Peaceful Getaway

The house was immaculate upon arrival. Very surprising as it is nestled right into the woods so you would expect to be some bugs or dust/dirt from in and out of the doors. But, there was none. I loved the privacy of the location, but it was a short drive to everything. The outdoor space was really nicely set up and the hot tub is a great feature for the relaxing atmosphere we were looking for. Absolutely would recommend and will likely book again! My ONLY suggestion that would have made our perfect stay a bit better would be if there were a fenced area for the fur babies that tag along. Just so that they can safely enjoy the outdoor space with us without needing a leash.

JMU parents weekend

Well maintained home- clean and comfortable beds. Host was wonderful and helpful when needed. Worked great for us as a home base for JMU parents' weekend. Only cons for some people may be that it is on a gravel road and there is no TV.

Cute, comfy little spot , but with no TV

The house was quaint and comfortable. The rooms were a nice size and it had a great kitchen. The outside area was cute too, but the grill definitely needed a good cleaning & the hot tub seemed like it needed an upgrade for a 10/10 listed property. It was a good central location to lots of things in the Shenandoah area. The lack of TV was a bit odd—I didn’t even notice it in the pictures because there was a cabinet, which I assumed housed a TV. It was my fault, but still…We booked during the Olympics and really missed being able to enjoy/watch those during our down time. It was a great place to bring a dog and a family, though, if you are looking to get away from it all.

30th Birthday getaway

We had a wonderful time celebrating my 30th birthday here. Upon arrival we instantly noted the cleanliness of the property! The fresh coffee beans were a huge plus and the s’mores gift basket was wonderful. The location was perfect as everything we wanted/needed was within 30min. Property owner was very communicative and check in and out was a breeze. All said and done it was a perfect vacation. PS. The mountaintop ranch sunset horseback ride is an absolutely amazing experience

Perfect weekend getaway

Hillside hideaway was perfect! It’s in a great location to get into Shenandoah via the Swift Run entrance. Rhonda was an amazing host. Very attentive and responded to messages within 15 minutes. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to disconnect and relax.

Loved our stay!

I really appreciate the host working with me on dates and times of arrival. It made our stay so much more smooth. The house was so cute and nice and clean. We loved the smores package the host left for us. The hot tub was a hit as well. It was very close to all the Massenutten resort activities, which made it so convenient. I would love to come back in the future!

A must stay

Such a cute stay with wonderful amenities! The kids loved hanging out in the hot tub while the adults enjoyed a drink by the fire. Property was very clean and well maintained. Rhonda, the host, was very helpful with any and all questions. I appreciated the laundry area as we hiked and wanted clean clothes for the next leg of our trip. Thank you!

Our favorite stay!

This was a beautiful and cozy rental property! I was very impressed with the cleanliness, and how everything was very thoughtfully put together! She has all of the basic spices for cooking, there are over 20 of them! Including cooking oil, all of the pots and pans and dishes that you would need. There was already filtered water in the fridge for us, and she left marshmallow sticks and all of the yummy fixings for s'mores! The kids loved the tree swing, the hot tub, the board games, and the toys. The property is tucked away in a beautiful wooded area, and you can see the mountains from the driveway! My husband and I loved staying here so much that we will be returning next year to visit again!

Oct trip

Great little place to stay. We missed the comment about unplugging from the TV as we didnt realize that there was no TV nor Internet until we got there. Luckily there was good cell reception as i did need to take a work meeting. Once that was over, we did unplug and had a good time. The restaurant recommendations were a nice touch too.

Nice Rental

This little house is a great option if you want something a bit secluded, but not too far from restaurants, stores etc in McGaheysville and Elkton. Also convenient to recreation opportunities of the SNP and Shenandoah River. Well kept property and nice amenities - would definitely consider coming back.
