My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hemsley Hollow Lodge. It exceeded our expectations. We utilized the hot tub, the fire pit, the many decks, the grill and the outdoor tables for dinner. The view from the living room and decks are amazing. Just being away our busy lives was so relaxing. The water was excellent to drink and bathe. A big thumbs up from our family.
Had a group of 13, and the place was great. Close to plenty of hiking, river activities, breweries, and wineries. Also a great place to come back to and hang out after a day of activities.
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!
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.
Eighteen senior hikers stayed at Hensley Hollow Lodge for 4 nights. Our primary focus was hiking the Shenandoah NP. This cabin fit our group perfectly. Lots of room, comfortable beds, large hot tub. Only negatives were not enough bath towels for everyone. Also not enough coffee cups.
This was a beautiful, large home and it was perfect for our family and the groomsmen preparing for a wedding in the area. We found that there were ample utensils, plates and cups. The firepit and the pool table were a hit!! The only thing I might add was that perhaps a warning within the write up on VRBO about using more than 3 water sources at once within the house might be provided. We were able to manage successfully, but only had 13 people...if there was a larger number of people all trying to get ready for an important event such as a wedding - not using more than 2 or 3 showers at once might pose a problem. We made sure to stagger ours and had luckily seen the warning and managed to not lose water availability. I just wonder at the stress level for those that might not see the sign or have 20 people in the house all preparing for a timed event. I can foresee that maybe being a problem. Other than that, I would return in a heartbeat to this wonderful home!
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.
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!
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!
We loved your home and location! We had a few issues, including two very dirty grills (with food parts left behind). We called and you sent someone up right away, however, did just a mediocre job at cleaning. We ended up cleaning both extensively ourselves. The closets were unusable until we cleaned them as well. The outdoor waterpark was not open yet and most of the indoor park (the kids section) was shut down for renovations. You should state on your listing that you need to contact the waterpark ahead of time to inquire about closings.

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Needs some love.
The pictures on line of course were deceiving. The property needs repairs and basic upkeep. The dishwasher was not secured to the cabinet. The kitchen faucet needs repaired. Except for the master bedroom, the house looked “tired”. At least four of the outside chairs did not have seats that were useable. There was garbage still in the outside cans from a previous renter and this was not emptied during our stay. The hot tub’s jets and temperature was subpar. The pool table cues were all missing the cork tips. General upkeep of house was poor. This is our first time renting from VRBO and will make us think before we would again.
Absolutely loved the house, very clean and spacious, everyone had their own private space. Loved the close proximity of skyline drive. The best part about this place was the amazing views. Would definitely come back to Hensley Hollow Lodge.

We loved it!
The whole family was able to come together but still feel like we were at home. The Lodge had everything we needed and more. The family wanted to turn our anniversary into an annual event "at the lodge".
