The Great Escape - Near everything yet off the beaten path

Located in the Shenandoah Valley our cabin is located on a quiet street on a 1/2 acre lot. The backyard is fenced for big and small dogs. On the back porch is a nice gas grill. A few steps down is a hot tub. The hot tub is nice especially when returning home from a day of hiking in the Shenandoah National Park which is only 20 minutes away. Inside the home are two bedrooms, each with a king size bed. We furnish wireless internet and satellite TV. I will email you a list of activities that are all close to our cabin. There is something for everyone at The Great Escape.

Beautiful getaway cabin!

I stayed here with my dog for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it! The neighborhood is nice and quiet and the views from the cabin and the street are breathtaking. The cabin is well stocked with everything one could need and the fenced yard was great for my dog!

Cousins' Weekend

This home is simply perfect. Clean, cozy, and charming. Sumptuous beds and linens, the hot tub under the stars, and morning coffee on the porch. It was just what we needed. Our hosts were on top of everything, including my request that the AC be on when we arrived on a hot afternoon. Thanks, Don and Lina

Such a nice getaway and so very cozy. We spent the weekend here as a getaway following our wedding. It was a quiet area and the layout was great for me with mobility issues and the yard is incredible and a great place for dogs, we had our service animals with us and the amenities they provided for dogs were great too. We will definitely try to stay again.

Great Stay in Shenandoah Area

We just got back from our 5 day, 4 night stay in the Great Escape. We loved the cabin. It was super clean and comfortable. We were able to hike in Shenandoah easily from the cabin and experienced the greatest night sky on the back deck every night. The kitchen was a great plus as we cooked breakfast every morning. We highly recommend and are already planning on our next stay.
