Scenic Getaway

We couldn't have asked for a better rental. The house was the perfect size for our group and a great location - close to the park for day hiking and close to great restaurants and vineyards. We'll definitely plan another visit!

Cozy

This farmhouse was so cozy with hints of original structure. It felt like a private getaway yet it was only ten minutes from bustling town. Several relaxing wineries to choose from just fifteen to twenty minutes away.

Fall Getaway

The house was well appointed with enough room for the whole family. We instantly felt at home and loved the view of the mountains and the farm land nearby. Having to work durning our stay the WiFi was up to the task. We are planning on returning next year.

Beautiful Stay!

This house is exactly as depicted online - so cute. We could tell it was cleaned just before our arrival, with the touch of fresh flowers! Melinda was a very responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed. The location is perfect for those visiting JMU, just a short 15-minute drive away. We will look to stay here in the future to add to our tradition.

Cute Country Home in Shenandoah Valley

My wife and I stayed at this home on our way up to PA. We took a couple of days to explore the area. The home was clean, comfortable and as described in the listing. Communication with the property owner was great. We will definitely look to rebook this property next time we visit the atea!

Beautiful location

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at this charming farmhouse in a nice quiet location, but not too long of a drive into Harrisonburg. We enjoyed sipping wine on the deck in the evenings. This was the perfect spot for our homebase —we used to live in the area and plan on returning regularly. This would be our choice of home again if you, please, please, please had at least 1 queen bed!

Relaxing time with family

We found the perfect house for our stay. We were minutes from our family who live locally, so we were able to spend what time we had enjoying our grandchildren. This house is in a perfect location. Country life but very close to so many amenities like stores and restaurants. We can’t wait to come again! The hosts were so helpful and always easy to communicate with! We would highly recommend.

Cozy Farm House

This is a beautifully decorated farm house that you will not want to leave. Situated 20 minutes outside of Shenandoah with beautiful views of the mountains . Close proximity to vineyards, and Harrisonburg for delicious meals . We truly enjoyed this gem surrounded by farmland that was so comfortable and relaxing. The hosts Daniel & Melinda respond instantly and truly provided everything for a memorable vacation. Thank you for giving us a beautiful place to call home in Shenandoah, VA. :-)

Relaxing get-away

Large, beautifully decorated, nicely appointed farm house. Private and quiet rural setting but only a 5 minute drive to stores and restaurants. A charming older house that's updated for modern conveniences and fully stocked. Friendly host was communitive and made sure we were comfortable. We stayed in winter but the modern heater and updated hot water system kept us toasty. We would definitely stay here again but next time we'd stay longer!
