Wonderful place to visit! Roads are a little precarious, but the property makes the drive worth it. The house was clean, and amenities all worked properly. Our only complaint was that the host, Fidum, sent conflicting information to what were told by the co-host's listing after purchasing rental (i.e check-in time, potential fees for a hot tub?, and amount of cars in the lot - something I wish was brought up sooner.) HOWEVER, messages were quick and both Forrest and Fidum are incredibly polite. ^ Hopefully the communication is fixed for future listings. Ignoring the slight confusion, this house is FANTASTIC, and both owners maintain the interior in excellent condition. If you're looking for a review to make your decision on, DEFINITELY give this property a shot! Just ensure that you have the car for the drive (although we had success with a FWD Accord.)

This is a beautiful home with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, a cozy basement set up with a walkout patio, large TV, and a gaming table which my family used a lot, a fully equipped deck with a grill, seating, hanging lights, and the most beautiful view of the mountains and sunsets. For activities within 20-45 minutes, there are some nice hikes, the towns of Winchester, front Royal, and Strausberg to walk around, caverns to check out, and vineyards to relax in. I ignored all the warnings about needing a four wheel/all-wheel-drive, and tried to take my 2016 CRV to the house. I did not make it up the steep gravel roads and had to park in a lot 15 minutes away. Fortunately, we had enough all wheel drives in our group that this was only a minor inconvenience. So you are forewarned. The perfect place to reconnect with the beauty of nature, small towns, and friends/family. Great memories were made here!

The house is perched on the mountain and has a really great view — very peaceful, and nicely decorated + comfortable inside! I would strongly recommend an all-wheel drive vehicle to get up the last stretch of verrrrry steep gravel road (our front wheel drive van almost didn’t make it up on a dry day in July, any rain would have made it impossible), though!

This home was super convenient to the Thornton's Gap entrance of Shenandoah. Wonderful modern updates in the kitchen and bathroom without losing charm. Very clean! Worked great with our kids (ages 2, 5, and 6) despite the nearby park being closed.

Wow...this place is a GEM! Absolutely stunning view, beautifully decorated home, comfortable furnishings, and so very clean! Josephine was very responsive and is an incredible host. The hot tub was fabulous and was so clean, but didn't smell of chemicals or dry out our skin. The instruction booklet for operating all of the appliances was so appreciated! The road in was a little intense, but we made it fine in our sedan; however, I would think an AWD or 4WD would be needed in wintry conditions. Although there were other homes close by, it was still very private. Such an amazing place!

Great place to accommodate a girls’ weekend. There was plenty of well decorated and comfy space for all of us and amazing views! The road to the house is a little steep and has gravel, so it’s probably best to travel with a car that can handle that.

The house was beautiful, spacious and spotless. Furniture and beds were very comfortable and well-appointed. Views were amazing. Quiet and serene environment. Josephine was very responsive and helpful. They did not require tedious clean up before check-out. We would stay here again.

This is a beautiful house and it was brand new. The house was in immaculate condition and we loved it. Two things to note when you stay here: 1. The road to get here is extremely steep and (right now) it’s gravel. Be cautious if you do not have 4 wheel drive 2. The hot tub is not included in the list price. It is an extra $50 to use it / the fireplace. Overall, we would stay here again!

This house is brand new and gorgeous! Everyone in the group had a comfortable trip, and there's even a huge table to play cards together. The views are hard to beat! The location is on a mountain, so he prepared to drive on a mountain. We really enjoyed this house!
