Great location, very clean, spacious and well-stocked!

We had a fantastic three day stay with our four adult children and older parents. The location was great. The beds were comfortable and the three floors gave us a little room to spread out and not be on top of each other. Everything was very clean and there was a great selection of DVDs and games for all ages. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals with both a regular coffee maker and a Keurig. Would definitely stay here again.

Kim & Ken's (modern) Log Cabin, near center of activity in Resort.

Very clean and comfortable. Nicely furnished. Three stories, including a walk-out basement Rec-Room with a pool table and a foos-ball table. Great for a large family with small children and/or teenagers. Many games (e.g., Lincoln Logs) and DVDs (e.g., Harry Potter) available. Owners (Kim & Ken) are easy to deal with.

It was fine.

Positives: - It was basically clean and stocked with essentials. - Solid Wi-Fi, which was important for virtual JMU graduation ceremony! - It was a little tight for 11 people, but it was very cozy and "warm." Concerns / Disappointments: - Accidents happen, but when my daughter found a dirty pair of socks in her bed, she (understandably) freaked out. Of course, this meant she was sleeping on dirty sheets....including pillow case! - Staying there over Mother's Day weekend meant tons of pollen.....homeowner can't control that.....but the entire (huge) porch was totally unusable, since it hadn't been cleaned and was caked in pollen. - Lightbulbs burn out.....no big deal.....but two different lights/lamps were broken. That's ridiculous. - Having three bathrooms was OK, but only two showers (for 11 people) wasn't a good plan. Jacuzzi tub instead of third shower is silly. - Worn-out furniture in main living area. I don't want to feel the springs in an "overstuffed" chair! - Thousands of Cable TV channels on the box, but only about 10 were functional. We didn't make our trip to watch TV.....but, still....you would expect much more, given the location/setting/cost. - Especially given how "aggressive" the rental literature / agreement was ("don't do this, don't do that!!"), it was irritating that the directions to the dumpster were confusing and incorrect. - Had to bring our own propane for the grill......really?!? Overall, for the huge amount of money we spent for two nights, we weren't thrilled. It was FINE. We will definitely look for another property for our next visit.

Family Vacay

This visit was the second time we stayed in this house, and it was memorable in spite of Covid and a hurricane that blew through. We love the house, and it is big enough for all family members to spread out. It is clean and well stocked. We love the porch swing, the neighborhood, and the peace and quiet. We visited Luray Caverns, ate ice cream, hiked, swam in the outdoor part of the Indoor/Outdoor Water Park, BBQed and just had an overall great time. The owners were very responsive and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay.

Perfect Cozy Cabin

It was just the right fit for our weekend get away. The location was beautiful and close enough to many things while still managing to feel somewhat secluded. We spent time at Shenandoah National Park which was super close. Our kids loved having daily wildlife visitors right out front.

Great house! Great location!

Bear's Landing is very comfortable! It was a great location for a Girl Scout troop getaway. It is convenient to the ski lodge and the go karts. The girls were able to do their GS activity and the dads played pool in the basement. There was plenty of room for sleeping, eating and hanging out.

Wonderful, cozy, beautiful mountain retreat with very caring owners.

This is a perfect vacation home in the mountains. It is clean, cozy, beautifully decorated and in a lovely mountain setting. We have some unique challenges that required us to reschedule our trip and the hosts were very understanding and accommodating. The warm kitchen invited our large group of seven adults to gather, share stories and play games. The downstairs play room was clean and beautiful. We were blessed with beautiful fall weather and we left to do some hiking and sightseeing. But it could’ve been perfect to just sit on the front porch and rock or on the back porch and watch the wildlife and the beauty around us. We can’t say enough about how perfect this house is for a relaxing retreat.

Didn't want to leave

Super, well decorated, log cabin. Could spend the whole day rocking on the front porch, but had to eat and sleep sometime. Appliances and furnishing are very new and well appointed. Very close to resort amenities, however tucked away in a private community. Owner easy to communicate with. Can't wait to return.
