Would stay again

House is very spacious and was great for entertaining a group of people. Grill was not functional at the time of our stay but there was a flattop that worked. Bit of a bumpy ride getting to the house but once you’re there it’s smooth sailing.

Great Weekend Away With Friends

11 of us stayed in this house for a long weekend and it was perfect for our group. Lots of space, beds, huge hot tub, and nearby many hikes and wildlife. We were told there would be firewood and it was not delivered until our final day which was a bummer since we would have liekd to enjoy fires the other two nights, but overall it was a great rental.

Beautiful house in quiet remote location

This house is so pretty! And the pictures are accurate! It was very clean, and we loved our stay! The driveway way was a little much for us Midwest flat paved road kind of people, but we did just fine. So quiet and picturesque. We had a nice relaxing vacation here. I would absolutely recommend this house!

VA Vaykay

We came with a family of 18! The house suited us beautifully! We had most of the kids upstairs in the loft with girls on one side and boys on the other. All of the bedrooms had very comfortable beds. 3 bedrooms had their own private bathrooms which was really nice. The property is secluded enough the kids could run around outside without disturbing anyone. We would gladly stay again!

Magical weekend

I was originally worried that the group of 14 would feel a bit crowded - not at all! My only suggestion is to stock the foosball table with balls. Other than that the space was perfect.

Beautiful property, enjoyable stay!

This house and the property are beautiful! The house was very clean, the beds were comfy, and the house was spacious. It is in a great location, very close to an entrance of Shenandoah National Park. Although the property management was not flexible about check in time, they were very responsive and pleasurable in their communications, and check in/out was very simple. I highly recommend this property, you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing mountain getaway!

Could not be any happier…Hensley Hollow Lodge was fantastic!!! We were so pleasantly surprised at how a home that can accommodate/slerp 22 was truly spacious enough to be together without being on top of each other and the views were spectacular! Beds (& pillows) were very comfortable. Easy drive (10-12 minutes) to a grocery. Kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need (2 coffee pots and even 2 crock pots!). Having a second full fridge on the lower level for beverages or food overflow (to cut down on the grocery runs) was a big plus! Hope to be able to return for another visit soon!

Friend Fourth of July Stay in Shenandoah

We loved staying at this beautiful lodge in a perfect location in Shenandoah National Park. The home was beautiful, clean and appointed with all the necessities we needed. It was pet friendly, and even though we were bringing 2 black labs ourselves, we were skeptical of the quality of the house for our high-brow bunch and it was PERFECT! Comfy beds. Quiet and remote - but close to park entrance, grocery and more. We hope to be back! TripForth was a wonderful host!!
