My family and I had an excellent stay at this property over a long weekend. The property and surrounding area are beautiful and picturesque. The home had amenities for everyone in the group, even toys for the toddlers.
This is a beautiful property. It's very clean with everything you need to cook big family meals in the kitchen. It's so close to awesome outdoor activities. Our whole extended family loved the week we spent here!
The owner was friendly and easy to get along with. Quiet place and plenty of room for everyone to have their space. Game room kept the young adults busy and the large table was great for meals and playing games.

Great Family Gathering
Great place for a large group and we had a wonderful time. Property is in general very well kept. Images in listing do not reveal how close the lodge is to other buildings which initially disappointed us but turned out to be no problem. Plenty of lawn to play on. The negatives include, roaches in the kitchen and no sound proofing in the walls. Despite these issues we had a wonderful, family time! All 21 of us agreed we would return.
every thing about this place was great. we had 12 adults. all had rooms except 4 shared. enough bathrooms. great kitchen and eating area. we played golf every day and the evenings had baseball, football on the tv. hot tub was enjoyed every evening for the old men to loosen muscles. a bonfire on the last night. getting in and out of the gate was easy. stars we never see anymore. misty sunrises. just wonderful. my golf game should be as good. love to stay again sometime.
We chose this home as our daughter wanted her family and bridal party to be all together in one house for her wedding weekend. The wedding venue was in Luray and this house was approx 20 min away and fit the bill. The house is spacious and the air hockey and pool table were big hit with our younger crowd, as did the fishing pond across from the house. 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are on the main level, and 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms are on lower level. Kitchen chairs could benefit from some felt pads under legs to keep sliding noise down on tile kitchen floor, as this can be heard in lower level bedrooms. This is only an issue when not everyone goes to bed at same time. Property manager was quick to respond when we needed to know more details on size of refrigerators. Earlier reviews had mentioned lack of adequate refrigeration for size of house, but there are 2 new large refrigerators in the kitchen.
Besides booking through VRBO, this property requires an additional rental agreement, which has a lot of do not’s and threatens of immediate eviction if certain rules are broken. I understand the need for making sure people treat the home with care and respect but it made us feel like we were walking on eggshells at times.
Overall the house was a perfect fit for our situation.
It is the perfect property for our multi generational yearly family reunion

My large family had a great time at this property. The rooms are bigger than they look in the pictures, the kitchen was well-stocked with appliances, and property was
Cabin is very cozy and very clean. We had 16 adults/2 children but never felt too crowded. The bedrooms were just lovely and the beds very comfortable! Suggestions - master bathrooms could use toilet paper holders and a bath caddie in the showers. It was weird having the toilet paper and your shower supplies on the back of the toilet. Minor details but would be most helpful! We really loved the outdoor space - oh and that wrap around porch - heaven! The fire pit was great for our evening catch-up chats. Randy and Misty were great to work with (Misty - I appreciate your "hand holding" getting us in the door!) Hoping to stay again next year in your beautiful home.
My sisters and I along with our partners had a lovely weekend getaway staying at this property. The pictures did not do it justice. Everything was wonderful.
The house was very nice, clean and appropriate for our group. We initially thought the house would be a bit bigger but it worked out perfectly. The neighborhood was very peaceful, easy to get to and not too far from various shops located within 5-10 miles of the house. The host were communicative and assisted us when needed. Would definitely recommend and visit again if we decide to come back to the area.

Beautiful property - limited cooking appliances
The house was very clean and spacious. We had our annual family vacation there. The problem that we had was 1. The gas grill turned on, but didn’t produce enough heat to grill a burger.2. The stove was not much better, the burner took 30 minutes to boil water and the oven had smoke billowing out of it. Cooking there was very challenging, which is an activity they we usually enjoy a lot on these vacations.
We had an absolutely amazing time at the Hawksbill Lodge!! The house was amazing and so big!! It fit our crew of 28 so good! The atmosphere was perfect! A wonderful fire pit, hot tub, game room! The master suite downstairs was too notch!! The kitchen and living area was huge and perfect for our big crew! We throughly enjoyed our stay and we all agreed to book again for next year immediately!!! Thank you so much to the wonderful hosts!!!

This is a good property for our large family of 20. We loved the kitchen especially the long dining table where we could all sit together to eat.
The property does need some upgrading however. Several of the bathrooms need immediate attention. Otherwise we were very happy with the property and would recommend it to others.
There were 29 of us. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Plenty of space and the firepit was a huge success. The only complaint we had was that for that many people the refrigerator was just a standard house size. we had to keep a lot of the items we brought in coolers and spent a fortune on ice to keep things cold. but that was the ONLY complaint. we all had a wonderful time there.

Owner was difficult
We rented the property because it was very near the wedding venue for my daughter. I rented through VRBO & also purchased the additional damage protection. The owner (Misty) insisted I fill out another Lease agreement, with my CC information. She insisted that they would not share the rental information with me until that happened. I made her aware that I purchased the additional protection, and she said that because of that I didn't need to leave additional CC information with her. However, she never asked if I had purchased that protection, she was rude and interruptive as I tried to ask additional questions. While the property was fine for our purposes and we followed the excessive instructions to the letter, I will not be using this property again, and will not recommend it to others. Frankly, she had me very concerned that I might see additional charges, however as of this writing, that hasn’t occurred.
