Best view Ever

My husband and I took the weekend to get away and this was the perfect place. It is a trek up the mountain and worth it. Very clean and the hosts were friendly and approachable. Definitely recommend. Just be aware that the drive up is gravel road and at times steep. Best have AWD or 4 WD.

Great time in Shenendoah

Property and hosts are superb!! We had a great time with a beautiful view. The sunrises were awesome. The drive in a little tricky but once in well worth it and after a time or two not bad at all. House was quiet and secluded. Very nice for time with my wife. We were 1/2 hour from the park, were treated very well and would highly recommend this property to anyone!! It was wonderful !!

Thank you Tessy!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Guesthause. Tessy and her husband are great hosts. Their property is the perfect getaway from everyday life and we can’t wait to be back. You won’t regret booking your stay here. The view and peace you feel from being immersed in nature is refreshing. You’ll never want to leave.

Birthday Weekend

My wife and myself both enjoy nature, and this place did not disappoint. Honestly picking the place strictly on the view alone did not disappoint. We looked forward to waking up early for the sun rise and coffee, enjoyed the winding ride up and down the mountain, and counted the minutes until sunset just to watch every evening.

Lovely Getaway!!

The location is PRIME!! Loved the view of the valley below and the mountain ranges around it. Now I know why its called the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every sunrise was different and was able to view a Strawberry moon! Was also privileged to view a wedding at the winery down the mountain from the property!! Again, I loved it!

Beautiful spot for a self-retreat

I spent a week on a self-meditation retreat. The location and the facilities were beautiful. The view is amazing - the pictures are accurate. Tessy and Steve were great hosts - very helpful. I got to walk part of the Appalachian Trail nearby - saw a bear cross the path. There are wineries nearby, though I did not go to any. Great place for a getaway.

Beautiful Gateway

My family had to drive up to Virginia for my cousins graduation from UVA. So this was a quick trip but seeing the views from the house were so beautiful, we wished we could have stayed longer! Make sure you have 4 wheel drive to get here, it is quite a steep ride up the mountain.

This is a really great little getaway. The views are truly amazing and the property is nice. This is not a posh place, but it is comfortable and clean, perfect after a long day hiking. Note, you will have to drive to get to trails. Overall a great stay and we will definitely go again.
