Everything about this stay was wonderful! We stayed with family for a wedding weekend, and John generously provided us with everything we could need, including breakfast items which everyone appreciated! The whole place was so clean and comfortable it felt like home. Not to mention the value is unbeatable! Definitely would love to stay again if we are ever back in the area!

Perfect stay for me and my children and babysitter while traveling for my job. The house was very clean and had a well supplied kitchen, linens and everything we could need. It was great to have a washer and dryer and space in the basement for the kids to play. The home is in a nice quiet neighborhood and so we were comfortable taking the kids out for walks. John and Irene were top notch hosts, Texting from time to time on our long stay to see if there was anything we needed.

The house is lovely: big, comfortable, and well located for the mountains. John was a generous host, he left us breakfast and accommodated us arriving in the evening easily. He also gave us some great recommendations and was kind and helpful.

The home is perfect for several people to stay in. It is so convenient to rt 11 and a local grocery store. There is plenty of space. We loved our visit here.

Felt very comfortable and right at home. Very accommodating. Excellent experience.

John's place was a very, very comfortable and wonderful place to stay. After many hours of traveling, it was a nice respite. The breakfast items that were left for us was so very much welcomed. I would not hesitate to recommend John's place to anyone, especially those traveling with families.

My friend & I stayed during the week while exploring the area. The place is clean, modern, & comfortable, with plenty of room for guests to hang out together or do their own thing. The hosts kindly supplied a few food items & soaps. It's very convenient if you want to explore Shenandoah National Park, which is what we spent most of the trip doing; it's also really close to a grocery store - we appreciated that & made good use of the lovely kitchen. The hosts were really good with communication, answers to questions, & info about the place/surrounding area. We had a wonderful stay!

Excellent home. I loved how spacious and well furnished it was. Great communication by John.

Great experience, highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay in Shenandoah! Elizabeth was very accommodating to us and provided a lovely & relaxing home to reside to after a long day of hiking! Thank you, Elizabeth!

The neighborhood was quite and the house was beautiful.

Lots of great amenities at this home!! We were very comfortable staying here. The screened in porch was lovely, and the proximity to Shenandoah Natl Park was a big draw for us. Very glad that we ended up here. Thanks, Elizabeth!

Perfect setting for our family Thanksgiving. Walkable location on the edge of a charming small town, yet also conveniently located near two interstate highways and a national park. Beautiful view from the screened-in back porch.

The house was PERFECT! My whole family loved it, and the owner was so responsive and kind. So much better than a hotel, and such a cute quaint little town

Amazing! It had everything it listed. Wifi, kitchen, two bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, etc. It was very private and clean. The owner was very nice and quick to respond. We never did meet her, but the house was ready to go! We plan to come back again and take a whole weekend trip. It was that good! Thank you for hosting us. Your house is absolutely beautiful.

Nice place, we really enjoyed it.

What a wonderful find!! Doran's cottage was very clean, inviting and exactly as the pictures depicted. She was pleasant and very responsive to our questions. Great location. Not far off I-81 and many amenities in Strasburg. Very easy keyless entry, fun decor and very homey. Comfortable bed, full kitchen, clean, modern bathroom. We only met her briefly as we had a very busy stay. Nice lady. Thank you, Doran. We will be in touch again for our next stay in Strasburg. Sweet blessings, Peter and Patricia.

I highly recommend Doran's place for anyone who is interested in going to skyline drive. Strasburg was a nice little town with good restaurants and antiques shops. You can actually walk there from the house if you like. It was 20 minutes to sky line drive which was what we were traveling there for. The cottage was very clean, well stocked, and had a very comfortable bed.

Doran's cottage is amazing. So comfortable and so charming. It is well stocked with all the amenities you could hope for. Charming touches everywhere including art from local artists and personal notes, snacks and more.

Doran's home was clean, charming and in a quiet neighborhood. Doran was a great host and very helpful with all of our questions and requests. Strasburg is a nice, old town with some shops and restaurants nearby. The Appalachian Trail, Bell Grove Plantation and Cedar Creek Battlefield were all amazing places we visited and all are within about 10-15 miles of Strasburg.

This little house is a classic, and Doran has outfitted it tastefully and very comfortably. Her metiers -- midwifery and yoga (office and studio adjacent) -- inform the sensibility of the decor, much of which is Doran's artwork or handiwork, and is genuinely uplifiting. We wished we could have stayed another night.

If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful weekend getaway that is close to the mountains, for hiking, look no further! Doran was very easy to communicate with and the cottage is exactly as described. It is a superbly clean and updated space that was truly welcoming. I plan to visit again, in a few months, to hike some trails that I did not get around to this time,

Beautiful spot in the quaint town of Strasburg. It was peaceful & tranquil yet in walking distance of restaurants & shops. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated & felt like a calm oasis. Doran went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. My 3 year old was so happy there (as was I). Can't say enough good things about this place really. Top notch!

While I didn't get to meet Doran, she did a wonderful job communicating to facilitate a smooth check-in and stay. Her place worked great for my brief retreat -- I especially loved that it was only about 30-35 min from the north entrance of Shenandoah National Park.

We had a great stay at the Fort! It was the perfect weekend getaway - a cozy cabin with beautiful mountain views and right nearby lots of great hiking and a creek. Anna and Ryan were great hosts: we had no trouble finding the cabin and they left us a bottle of wine and everything else we needed for a perfectly enjoyable stay.

It's great!

I couldn't be happier with our experience with Anna's cabin. She was extremely accommodating and responsive and the cabin is a gem. Also, the firewood is some of the best I've ever used and it is beyond plentiful. Can't speak more highly about our stay here. Thank you and look forward to staying there again.

The Fort is a great place to get away from the city life and routine. Nestled quietly at a hilltop, the Fort offers guests a cozy, quiet environment in natural surroundings. We were happy to find all the information we needed to make the most of our stay in the form of a dossier with directions for heating and for the use of amenities such as the grill and the indoor fireplace, as well as a myriad of suggested hikes of varied distance and difficulty. The beds and couch were super comfy. The view at sunset and sunrise from both the main room and the porch were beautiful. We particularly enjoyed having breakfast (and late afternoon warm cocktails) on the swing-table overlooking the Passage Creek. Spent some really magical moments at the cabin and nearby areas. Would definitely recommend this place, and hope to be back very soon! One thing: If you're not comfortable drinking tap water that may have some natural coloring, I would recommend to bring your own bottled water

I can't recommend "The Fort" enough!!! Ryan and Anna were wonderful hosts. Upon arrival we were greeted with a spotless cabin nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah wilderness. They had left a note welcoming us and giving us the lay of the land. There was a ton of firewood easily accessible for the fireplace which made for a cozy stay with awesome ambiance. If you stay here make sure you wake up early to catch the absolutely stunning sunrise over the mountain mist. There is tons of great hiking in the area and even a little river running through the property. The beds were comfortable and the linens were clean and new. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to make our own meals. I would definitely recommend "The Fort" to anyone wanting to escape the bustle of city life to rest and reset.

We had a wonderful time at the Fort. First, Anna was really helpful - providing directions and suggestions for our time. Also, when the timing of our stay changed two weeks before our trip, Anna was very helpful and worked with us to change the dates of our reservation. Second, it's a great location for hiking. We took the trip with our two kids (ages 1 and 4) and had a wonderful time hiking around the property (lots of bugs/mushrooms/leaves and even a turtle for our 4yo to discover), at the very close Elizabeth Furnance Rec Center (both short trails for little kids, and longer trails that followed the river), and the slightly farther away Shenandoah River State Park. The Fort has very little cellphone service (which we saw as a positive), so be prepared to search for a signal if you need it. The view of the sunrise over the mountains from the master bedroom was beautiful, every morning. Overall, a great trip!

Would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to enjoy a quiet, reflective time in the forest. We even saw a mama black bear with her two cubs! HIGHLY recommended.

Anna gave us great detailed instructions on everything needed, as well as left information at the cabin. The information on hiking trails was extremely helpful. The cabin is just perfect for getting away from the concrete jungle for a while. The kitchen has everything you need so you don't have to go to civilization if you don't want to.

La chambre est chaleureux et confortable dans la vieille maison de ferme. Un peu long trajet en voiture sur la route de campagne, mais le paysage était magnifique. forte pluie pendant la nuit, je suis resté, le bruit des gouttes de pluie sur le toit était assez charge.

It's surrounded by a farm with over 40 horses. It's beautiful to wake up and see the green rolling hills with the horses. The house is an authentic farm house that hasn't been renovated. It was a nice and comfortable stay.

The space is an delightful old farmhouse from the late 1700s. The ranch hand provided us with a topographical map to plan a hike in the national forest which surrounds the valley. The valley is gorgeous.

Absolutely beautiful location in the valley overlooking the horse farm and surrounded by mountains on either side. Amenities were simple but has all the basic needs you'll need for a quiet retreat. Very difficult to see at night, so try to arrive during the daylight if possible.

Cosy and comfortable place with stunning views in every direction! Fantastic weekend get away that we highly recommend!

Natalie was a wonderful host. She made us feel very welcome. The scenery was amazing. We planned our trip in July which was very hot. The house was quite warm so Natalie suggested we spend time down at the creek. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

Merveilleux paysages, tout le monde à la maison était très douce. La chambre était confy et chaleureux.

Gorgeous location and house- we didn't want to leave!

We had an amazing time at this gorgeous home. The views are incredible and we loved exploring the surrounding area and going on walks outside. The home is beautifully decorated and very special. It is also very family friendly. Our two boys, ages 3 and 5, loved the swings, all the toys, and the secret play space under the home. They've been begging to go back, and we're hoping to return in the spring. We had a perfect vacation in every way.

This home is even more gorgeous than the pictures. What a truly rare gem of a property - ultra modern luxurious comfort in the middle of the mountains. We had an excellent getaway at Linda's place. The place was fully appointed (and then some!). It felt like staying at a friend's place (a rich friend with a great design sense) - all the essentials (and so much more!) were provided. Don't even get me started on that kitchen. The whole point of our vacation was to sleep in, relax and enjoy nature. I ended up waking early every morning to make breakfast for my group because I just loved cooking in that spacious kitchen. I nearly threw a tantrum when it was time to leave.

House was beautiful. Exactly like the photos. Plenty of space for a small group or larger family. The house is tucked away in a beautiful wooded area...I disagree with a previous review that said there are neighbors...this is a private retreat tucked away with only one other cabin even remotely nearby. Very private despite the modern open feel. Linda is an excellent host and we will be back!!

The home was clean and beautiful! Host was communicative and made check in and check out exceedingly simple and was a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend this house!

The house is quite nice and well maintained. Very good for a couple or small family with the children's room. It is located in a sparse development, but w/ exception of house next door, it feels relatively secluded and lovely view off the balcony and windows. Given the location, not a lot of nearby options for food in immediate vicinity but if you're willing to drive 30 minutes of so can find more variety. The host lives across the country so we were in the hands of Kaye, who greeted us when we arrived but had no/little interaction for the time we were there. No major issues although the thermostat suddenly dropped to 55 during a cold evening so we had to adjust that ourselves for the next evenings. Unfortunately, our experience with the host and caretaker ended on quite a surprisingly sour and rude note. The simple story (of course from our side) was that we were accused of damaging the property and asked for money, when no such action occurred. Although misunderstandings can happen (my wife and I are Airbnb hosts), we were just as taken aback how the host did this as much as the nature of the accusations. No word or call from either host or Kaye to inquire or discuss, but a brusque online accusation (assumption really) on what in their mind happened. We had a clear explanation to prove we were not at fault and never heard from the host again (either apology or further follow-up). So a very disappointing experience with the host. It really ruined our experience, as we were wrongfully accused and felt so untrusted. It's a shame as it was altogether unnecessary as a simple call or exchange as common courtesy would have prevented the situation. Perhaps this is due to the nature of the host not being on site and Kaye feeling quite paranoid about reporting things. So would caution folks to document damages they notice so they are not in for a similar rude surprise when they leave.

My family had a wonderful weekend staying at this beautiful, contemporary home. The house is striking, fully apportioned, immaculately furnished, and spotless. But the biggest surprise was how well the house worked for my two girls (ages 3 and 5). The "secret" playroom downstairs, the swings, and the pool were all a huge hit. My girls were literally crying when we left -- they wanted to move in.

We had a lovely time at this modern home. The decor and architecture are just beautiful. It was a bit too cold to use the playroom with our kids (a fun, thoughtful space for little ones beneath the house), but we did enjoy the fireplace. Overall, we had a great time in the open, sunlit space relaxing with our family and cooking in the gourmet kitchen. The ride up to the house is pretty steep right before you get to the house, as is the wooded area behind the house. Even with the weather a bit chilly, we were able to explore the woods. We hope to come back for a longer stay and enjoy the beautiful views!

Keith's bunkhouse was perfectly situated in a picturesque farm landscape in a valley. The house itself was clean, and impeccably decorated with modern, country-chic style decor. The fire pit was a huge bonus, as after a day full of sunshine and winery-hopping, we got to relax by the fire and listen to the nature surrounding us. Keith was very accommodating as well. So much so, that when we realized we forgot to bring coffee grounds with us to enjoy with our morning view, he graciously lent us some with cream and sweetener! Highly recommend staying here if you're planning a visit to the Front Royal area or plan on dropping by some gorgeous wineries along 66W. Will definitely be coming back!

Belle vue sur une vallée tranquille. Grande proximité des sentiers. La communication était géniale.

This home is beyond adorable. BUT besides that this is just the fix for those looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy nature. Two of my favorite experiences were waking up and having a cup of coffee on the front porch watching the sunrise, and sitting on the porch at night watching the stars.

Keith's place was clean, with a well stocked kitchen, very nicely put together, and in a breathtaking setting. We used the grill and the fire pit and everything was in working order. Keith was very accommodating with good tips for navigating the area and potential dangers to the kiddos in our party. He was very quick with responses and we felt very well taken care of. Great vacation!

Two friends and I took our sons out to the "glammed out" bunkhouse on Glenmont Farm over Mother's Day weekend. Our wives had requested a "spa day" and with it pouring rain in Richmond we decided to head west. Glenmont Farm is a spectacular property nestled in the valley bordering the George Washington National Forest. The bunkhouse is situated above and in back of the property with commanding views of the valley and mountains. The national forest and hiking trails are right out the back door. Accommodations were updated, clean and just what we were looking for with lots of outdoor deck space and a great fire pit. Keith, the owner, couldn't have been nicer, giving us recommendations and tips for activities. He went above and beyond by giving our 12 year old boys driving lessons in his "gator." If you are looking for a mountain getaway, this is the place. We'll be back.

We had a phenomenal time at Keith' place. Truly spectacular view, and the house & property are imbued with a sense of restfulness & serenity. Everything in & around house was very clean and comfortable. Wifi/AC worked great. Keith was a helpful, flexible, and thoughtful host. Would love to stay here again in the future.

Very nice cabin for 8 people! Keith was so sweet and took great care of us during visit. Nice and clean environment.

My husband and I picked out Justin's place to celebrate our first wedding anniversary in VA en route to a family vacation in NC the following week... and we couldn't have been more delighted!! It was absolutely perfect!! Gorgeous location in the countryside, and the home was as cozy as can be! The stone fireplace and all of the rustic woodwork were incfredible. It was clear a lot of thought had gone in to making the small details make a huge impact! We especially loved the twinkle lights and the bourbon-bar, too. We'd definitely recommend it!

Quiet hunting cabin in beautiful Fort Valley next to a pond. The cabin is behind a dilapidated farm house. Don't let that put you off. It's lovely. Very comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at Justin's. Descriptions were accurate, and communicating with Justin was easy. Was great to be in the secluded area and get away from everything! (Definitely be prepared to have minimal to no cell service!)

Very warm and enjoyable main cabin. Beautiful and very peaceful setting. Really enjoyed our stay! Justin was very responsive and helpful as our host.

My best friend and I did a quick trip to get away from the city for the weekend. Great quiet place to stay! Very easy to find. Wonderful host. Highly recommend for a place to unplug and unwind! My dogs loved it too. :)

My girlfriend and I very much enjoyed this secluded place in the woods. If you want to read or have a great conversation by the fire in cozy cabin I highly recommend. We'll be back.

This cabin is in a beautiful location for those who want to get away from it all. The pictures accurately show the main living space. Our teenage boys were delighted to find a rowboat for the pond, and caught some fish. If you are planning to use the extra bedrooms which are across the yard, check with Jason to see if the construction is complete. He had warned us ahead of time, but one room is currently getting a new floor. This rental is not currently appropriate for young children because there is partly finished construction at a building immediately next to the rental. Jason was a good host, and easy to reach.

Beautiful! Surrounded by nature.

Doug was very welcoming and patiently helped us navigate to the Efficiency. His recommendation for dinner in town was also a hit. The view from the Efficiency in the morning was especially stunning.

Un super petit hôtel, niché dans la ferme privée ... à côté d'un lac, assez près pour des randonnées, et encore seulement un lecteur 5MI des restaurants du centre-ville. aimé

Closest place to heaven that I have come across in a long time. The accommodation: it is as advertised. 4 beds are clean. call dibs on the ones closer to window. It beautiful view to wake up to. The kitchen has enough utensils for a group of 8. Bring your own groceries. We had breakfast and dinner at home on both the days. We visited in winter, the thermostats are efficient. In addition to comforters, there are extra blankets if needed. The place is stocked with enough bath towels too. The Property: For star gazers and those interested in night sky photography, this is perfect. We were able to see meteor showers and Milky Way with bare eyes. It is a clearing surrounded by Shenandoah river and mountains. We will be visiting this place regularly. The Host: Doug is awesome. He is prompt and very helpful. He pointed us to local sightseeing spots. He also showed us his other rental properties and walked us through the working of farm. He let us use his Canoes. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had a good time. He is humorous and easy to get along with. He is truly genuine and an awesome person. I can't praise this place enough. This listing is better than any words that I can come up with.

Doug's place was perfect. Simple, clean, and had everything we could need. Doug was available to check us in, and we had absolutely no issues. His land is idyllic and we will certainly be back the next time we're in the area. Thank you so much!

Beautiful spot! Simple and just what I wanted in a city escape

Ce fut une grande escapade de DC. La ferme est une retraite paisible qui se trouve entre la branche sud de la rivière Shenandoah et les montagnes. Il y a beaucoup de possibilités en plein air avec une grande randonnée à proximité endroits et décontracté à Woodstock pour les repas.

What an amazing, secluded space. A total relaxing space. Very introspective and inspirational.

Great place, secluded, beautiful location. Doug is very friendly and everything was perfect.

My friends and I loves this place soooooo much. Everything in this little cute house reminds us of the beauty of life. Susan is very considerate and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay and I will definitely come back with my family some time in the future. Wonderful experience!

Ideal weekend getaway spot for city-dwelling folks. The house itself is immaculate, sits next to a wonderful pond, and is great for cooking. The surrounding area provides great wineries and local foods -- don't miss the Woodbine Food Market!

WOW! What a great place to stay. The house is so nice, it is very peaceful and the scenery is beautiful. Susan is a great host and her notes are so helpful. She also provided great tips and info about the places nearby. We will certainly come back to enjoy her place once again.

We spent four days at Susan's place on New Years, planning for our 2017. It was super quiet, private, and cozy. Susan's notes all around the house were so helpful for our stay and helped us to feel right at home. The sunrises and sunsets were perfection. It was pitch black at night—a welcome sight since we're country kids who live in the city. The place was clean, very well kept, and evidently loved. Susan let us stay through the day our last day there and it was so appreciated to not have to get up and going right away. We would go back without a second thought! Thank you Susan!

A beautiful home and a great host. I cannot wait to go back. This is such a great value. The house is beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and very well equipped. The bathroom upstairs is a dream!

Susan was an amazing host! Her communication was great and we knew exactly what to expect. She was also very helpful in pointing out local shopping and points of interest. Her home was neat and clean and the atmosphere was soooo relaxing. We loved the screened in porch and spent a lot of time there! We're already recommending Susan's place to our friends!

Great place in the countryside! Susan was a great host making sure we had everything we needed for our stay!

My family and I had a wonderful time. The house was even nicer than pictured and was so scenic and relaxing. Susan's directions were very helpful and accurate and we cannot wait to come back again to visit. Everything was thought of and the attention to detail for the guests was impressive. Communication with Susan was immediate and there is not a single bad thing I can say about the property and Susan. I would highly recommend this property and I would sincerely love to come back and visit.

We were a group of 5 friends who stayed at Samantha's for one night. Excellent place which is old (built in the 1800s) but very comfortable. It also has goats, donkeys, and chicken so it's a cool getaway close to DC. Samantha was very friendly and helped us settle in. We would love to go back there soon!

We all loved this place and master bedroom was matter price. Samantha was really nice and very good host. As the name suggest it was an complete hideaway from busy schedule and busy city.

We loved our stay at Samantha's! It was beautiful, cozy, and perfect for a nice getaway. She was easy to communicate with, and super informative. Will definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful experience in the country at this historic country home. It was a great escape away from the city. We especially loved seeing the animals!

My friends and I stayed at the Holstein Home for new years. We were going for a more relaxed trip away from the city and it definitely exceeded our expectations! The house is an older, traditional farmhouse with a cozy feel to it. To start off we had three cars so it was great that there was enough space for parking. It was also very neat and well-equipped for most of what we needed from cookware to bath towels. Anything that the house was not able to provide, Samantha kindly let us know ahead of time (i.e. charcoal for the small grill outside). Samantha was wonderful as a host all around. She was always reachable via text message/email/phone call and made sure we felt most comfortable during our stay. She even helped find small personal belongings we had left behind after the trip! I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and quiet getaway!

Awesome place. Great stay for family. Calm and peaceful. I would like to get back again.

Our stay at Holstein Hideaway was unique and relaxing and it was easy to coordinate with Samantha. It is spacious and cozy farmhouse with plenty of charm right on the property -- my kids spent a lot of time with two friendly donkeys and fishing on the pond. The rooms are large and comfortable, plenty of blankets and towels, there are multiple tvs and a diverse DVD library, and a couple of bins of childrens toys. The house is on a main road -- though not a busy one -- which makes it easy to get in and out. It's a quick drive to a chain grocery store or farmstands and easy to get to local attractions. And the owner even has her own business that will deliver staples to the property. There is a lot of helpful info on the Holstein Hideaway website. We really enjoyed our stay -- thanks Samantha!

Looking for peaceful place you have found it. Wonderful, friendly, sweet, helpful, and generous caretakers of the place. Check in and out was easy. Would come back again for sure. Wish there was not so much rain but it's hard to predict a hurricane and cold front hitting at the same time. Sunday was beautiful so at least we did finally get to see the mountains without the foggy mist.

This was our second stay at the Caretaker Cottage and it was even better than our first. You couldn't ask for nicer hosts in Elaine and Michael.

Elaine and Michael were both super nice! Their cottage was just beautiful! The scenery was unique and the moment we arrived, we wanted to stay another night (originally had for one night) and luckily we could secure a second nights accommodation! There were games for kids to play, places to relax and enjoy the house "alone" and a piano and record player to listen to...no tv which was a welcome change! The sunsets were beautiful! The starry skies...speechless and very heart-touching to experience the country in its natural beauty. Just. Wow. Beds were comfortable and we loved the hobbit bathroom! Haha. We truly enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely come again! :)

The caretaker's cottage is a cozy, delightful space. My friends and I loved it so well the first time we stayed that it's become an annual tradition of ours to travel from DC to Woodstock, Virginia. So far we have had the pleasure of staying here three times, each time more lovely than the last. I strongly recommend a stay at the caretaker's cottage for anyone who desires a respite from a fast-paced, everyday life.

We had a great time! We have been different times of year and each has its own beauty and enjoyment! Great hosts, great place! We will be back!

Elaine and Michael were great, I love their home.

Beautiful cottage with tons of interesting vintage finds to keep your mind stimulated during your stay at Woodstock. We absolutely loved the decor and were quite comfortable during our stay with our two doggies. The view of the Shenandoah River that runs right next to the cottage is breathtaking, especially in the fall. The kitchen has everything you could need for cooking. Everything was clean and the farm fresh eggs, coffee and tea were much appreciated. Only wish we could've stayed longer...much longer. Thanks so much for an unforgettable time!

Elaine and Michael are fantastic hosts. They were available for assistance through out our stay. Michael even drove us to one of the scenic spots in the area. The house was wonderful, a lovely country home. This was truly a fun and relaxing stay in rural VA.

Bonito Lodge y entorno precioso, realmente disfrutamos de nuestra estancia corta! ¡Gracias!

Fantastic place to go to get away!

Unfortunately there were a couple of issues with our stay at Seven Bends Lodge. I went there with my sister and 3 friends to celebrate her upcoming wedding. Jeff was very responsive via texts/airbnb messages leading up to the weekend. we originally planned on driving up to the house prior to our scheduled tour at VA canopy tours in neighboring Bentonville VA. However we ran into some traffic so I checked with Jeff to make sure it was ok to check in after our tour ended around 7. He assured me it was ok, and that the door would be unlocked. But When we arrived at the lodge - the door was locked. It was raining, we were unfamiliar with the area, and Keith (who we were told should be able to help us out if we ran into any issues) wasn't home next door to let us in. Jeff also wasn't responding to any of the messages like he had before. Luckily we noticed a window open in front of the house and one of the girls in the group was able to climb in. Once inside we noticed it was a bit dirty and there was leftover take-out food in the fridge. However at that point we were just glad to be inside and out of the rain. After about and hour or so, Keith arrived and walked over to the lodge to ask us how things were going. I explained that the door was locked and that we ended up having to go in thru an open window. He was extremely kind and apologetic. He said he had the date wrong so not only was the door locked but the cleaning crew had not been there. Overall we ended up having a good time. This was my first experience with Airbnb, I'm not sure if I will use this service again.

Justo en el río, muy pintoresco, bueno para grupos, servicios básicos.

Jeff and his father Keith made us feel most welcome, answering our questions promptly but otherwise leaving us to our own devices - exactly what one would want on a romantic getaway. No fuss whatsoever. The house is a charming A-frame with bare wood walls, as described, with a well-equipped kitchen, wood stove for supplementary heating, and comfortable beds. The view from the porch is lovely and very peaceful. It has a big yard and plenty of beds if you want to bring the family, and in summer the swimming dock would be great fun. Warning to those disabled or less-steady on their feet: to enter the house you must go up the outside stairs in the photo, and additionally the stairs to the second floor are more like a ladder than a staircase. Fine for us, but could be difficult for some.

Seven Bends Lodge was absolutely what I was looking for! We were heading to explore some of the areas outdoor activities and the house served as a perfect base camp. The house also had everything we needed and was perfectly comfortable for our group. I would highly recommend others to have a stay at this property! Thank you Jeff.

We enjoyed our stay at Seven Bends Lodge. The house is as described and well appointed. We didn't get a chance to take advantage of the river (uncooperative weather), but it looked like a great place for swimming.

We had a great time staying at Seven Bends Lodge. The house was beautiful and right by the river. Would definitely stay there again.

Russell and Gina's farmstead studio was an awesome retreat and basecamp for our activities in the Shenandoah area. The studio was quiet, clean and expertly outfitted with a full set of great amenities. After a day of hiking at the Wolf Gap Recreation area or touring the local wineries, it was great to be able to return to the farmstead, enjoy a drink on the brewery's patio, and take in the beautiful scenery. Definitely look forward to returning in the future.

Russ' guesthouse was so cozy and comfortable. The amenities and attention to detail/decoration were impeccable! My boyfriend and I were so impressed, everything was well thought out and we couldn't have asked for more from an air bnb experience. Russ has a beautiful outdoor space (large deck + fire pit and cornhole!) that was a great place to relax in the mornings and evenings. We brought a small grill with us and Russ' place was perfectly equipped with all the utensils and prep space we needed. If you find yourself looking for things to do, we had a great time visiting North Mountain winery (10 min away) and Fort Valley Ranch for some trail riding (30 min away). Russ' bnb is very close to Woodstock too where we were able to visit a local brew house and have a nice steak dinner at Joe's. All in all the location is perfect for a quiet weekend retreat with plenty to do in the surrounding areas. Couldn't have picked a better place to spend my birthday!

We absolutely loved staying at Russ' room in the planned new brewery building. The room is clean and beautifully appointed. And having that deck for our use was incredible. We arrived after about eight hours in the car, and the first thing we did was sit on the deck enjoying the mountains, trees, fields, many birds, and gorgeous sunset. Then we went over to the Brew House (per Russ' recommendation) and had some fantastic beer. Headed back for a great night sleep with the windows open and fresh air. Drove around the area the next morning to see the beautiful farms and landscape before enjoying our breakfast again on the lovely porch with the birds. I highly recommend this airbnb, it's close to 81 - but a whole peaceful natural world away.

Russell was very welcoming and the room we stayed in was private, well decorated and full of nice amenities. Check in time was flexible, which was great because we were hiking most of the day and didn't have great cell service. We enjoyed a private, quiet stay and enjoyed muffins and coffee provided in the morning. The location is very secluded but a short drive to the town of Woodstock, which is full of cute restaurants and shops. It was a lovely stay, and we would absolutely come again, especially when the brew house next door is finished. I would highly recommend this place!

Absolutely amazing. Great place, scenic kind hosts and neat and tidy.

Awesome air bnb. Beautiful accommodations, so much space, land, brand new building, and a fire pit. Loved our stay, Russel is awesome.

We had a great time at Russell's place! It's in a beautiful country setting, and the room was charmingly decorated. Very clean and cozy. We loved the proximity to the micro-brewery and cafe. Russell is a friendly and helpful host.
