The cabin was exactly as listed. Clean, spacious and enough room for everyone to enjoy. Kitchen was larger than expected and fully stocked. We made 2 large meals and had enough plates and pots & pans. The lower level was a tad chilly as we ran out of wood for the stove but got a bundle at a local store. Beds were super comfortable. Bring some toilet paper though. Would definitely rebook. ##### Tanya I. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackie D.

It was very comfortable and well furnished-- so nice not to have to bring much along with us. We are an outdoorsy family so enjoyed the proximity to hiking, waterfalls, mountain swimming holes and the river for kayaking/tubing. We also enjoyed being a short drive to Harrisonburg (JMU), New Market, Luray Caverns, and Monticello (Charlottesville). We enjoyed dinners out in local restaurants and ice cream/mini-golf/go-karting afterwards before heading home to the cabin to rest/recharge for another day. ##### Brooke M.

However it lacked basic amenities such as dishwasher detergent, kitchen soap, bathroom soap, at least 1 extra trash bag. There were not enough towels for all of us. The dishwasher did not work. ##### Amy M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kyleigh C.

However, there are a few things that could be improved upon. The place was not as clean as I would have expected there were dead bugs all over the counters when we arrived, but we chalked that up as staying in a cabin in the “woods” it’s bound to happen. The hot tub was not as maintained as we would have liked, and this was one of the things we were looking forward to MOST. When we arrived the water level was extremely low and water was not reaching the filter, we filled it up to the appropriate level but the chemicals seemed off as well. All the handles to adjust the jets were missing as well as one of the headrests to one of the seats. It was an older hot tub so my guess is the handles cracked over time and were maybe removed and not replaced. The upstairs was very WARM at night and was difficult to sleep. Overall, we made the best of it and my mom still enjoyed her 60th birthday in the mountains! ##### Kyleigh C. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jil D.

It was a good location with pretty views. The main road runs along the river and is very scenic. The cabin was very roomy with plenty of space to spread out. The bedrooms were ample size, too. Our favorite space was the common area upstairs as the kitchen was spacious and open to the living area which made hanging out easy. We visited Elkton while here and would recommend that as a place to go for future guests. Cute town with shops, brewery, and restaurants. I echo some of the other past guests, there is some maintenance that needs to be done in and out of the home but the owner has been messaged about it and states she's on it. ##### Jil D.

The cabin in person is so much nicer than the pictures show online. We spent the week with our adult children and spouses cooking, playing games, hanging out watching football, hiking through the woods and even visited a ski resort about 30 minutes away for a day of skiing and snowboarding . The beds were as comfortable as what we would get for ourselves for our own homes. The kitchen was fully stocked and we needed nothing else for cooking which we did every day. The check in process was simple and the cabin was very clean when we arrived. We had plenty of room to enjoy each others company or go sneak away for a quick nap. Ghada was an absolute joy to work with through the entire rental process and during the stay as well if anything was needed. Really could not have asked for a better week and a nicer place to hang out with our family!! I would highly recommend this place as it looks like it has a ton to offer year round. ##### Wayne H.

The property surpassed its moniker "barely rustic." It was in excellent shape and thoroughly cleaned before our arrival. We spent many morning, afternoon, and evening hours relaxing on the spacious deck overlooking the woods and with a view to the Massanutten range. Ghada, the owner, was very responsive and the cabin is well looked after by her local caretaker, Mr. Berry. I enjoyed meeting him and his grandson when they delivered wood for us at the beginning of our visit; he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Great location with easy access to grocery stores (Food Lion), a Walgreen's, a Virginia ABC, and a fantastic microbrewery (Elkton Brewing). Great location for access to Shenandoah National Park: 30-35 minute drive to both the Thornton Gap Entrance Station (to the north) and the Swift Run Gap Entrance Station (to the south). My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed this idyllic mountain retreat and we'll certainly be returning. ##### John P.
