Lake view cabin! 2 bedrooms one bathroom. Close to breweries, wineries, grocery store, and 20 minutes from Shenandoah National Park. You will have everything you need at our home provided for you. We have a canoe and row boat for you to venture out on the water and fishing poles, just bring your bait and bathing suit! We are "unplugged" at the lake, we have a TV and dvd player and plenty of movies, but do not have satellite tv or wifi. Verizon cell phone should have great coverage. No parties!
The space
The 2nd bedroom is small but functional.
the wood stove is not for rental use. there is heat there.
Guest access
You will be able to enjoy the entire home and dock for your use.
Other things to note
Absolutely NO parties or disruption to the neighbors will be tolerated. The driveway is kind of steep, front wheel drive, all wheel drive and 4 wheel drive will do fine. Rear wheel drive may want to park at the gate or back in. The path to the lake is also steep, Please take a flashlight with you to the fire pit to get back to the house in the dark. Under no circumstances will we allow parties or destruction of our home.
**We are on well water, it has a Sulphur smell when it isn't used daily. We installed a water treatment system with no luck. Please bring drinking water *

Great getaway for the weekend!

Very impressed with this cozy cabin getaway on the beautiful White Oak lake. Dana was easy to communicate with and made our short stay so peaceful and comfortable with plush beds and fully stocked bathroom and kitchen. The view of the lake is breathtaking! It was just perfect!

Great quiet getaway spot

We had a lovely time at Dana's cabin on the lake. The views are incredible and the home is well stocked. We appreciated her description about the sulfur smell of the water. I think no one had rented the place for a while and though it was very clean, the sulfur smell of the water was very strong, and none of us ended up showering the first night of our stay. It got less strong the next day, so would recommend coming a day before to let the water smell dissipate if planning on hosting guests. Maybe it's less strong in the summer, and the house certainly had a lot of toys and canoes for summer fun! Thanks.

Our vacation at the lake

We had an absolutely lovely time in your beautiful home by the lake. I would love to stay in the summer for a few days. We truly enjoyed ourselves. My daughter and I were able to spend some wonderful one on one time together and enjoy our holiday.

Beautiful view

The view from the property was beautiful and definitely set the mood for a quiet relaxing few days. There was some unfinished cleaning when we arrived but owner had an emergency and rectified with a refund. Dana was easy to work with and a conscientious host.

Perfect home base!

The cabin was so cute and right on the lake! We didn’t get to spend too much time there as we used it as a home base to hike in Shenandoah, but the row boat was awesome to catch some small bass while we were there. There was one fishing pole on property, so if you’re into that, bring another. And as the owner notes, bring your own drinking water, not a big deal! We loved it here, will definitely rent again! Oh- and Bald Top brewery was super close- which was a plus. Saturday- live music!

Great place for a family to get some peace and quiet

We loved the home. It is small but has everything you need. Everything was clean and if you forgot something, chances are they had it there. Beds were comfortable. The deck and dock were very nice with plenty of furniture to use if wanted. We would definitely return!

Wonderful setting and very clean

The cabin is beautifully set on the lake with spectacular views. Everything was very clean and maintained. The drive to the national park was also great. 30 minutes of driving through the countryside. We would definitely stay again if we visit the park a second time.
