The house was perfect for our brewery trip. Location was central for all our day trips. I loved having an ensuite for each bedroom. Kitchen had everything we needed, and having off-street parking was essential. Chris provided all the information we needed to fully enjoy our stay.

Staying in Staunton

We had a great stay in Staunton, one of our favorite towns. We usually stay out in the country, but this time we chose to stay in town. Loved the house...loved the location. And thanks to Chris for being such a great host to work with.

Wonderful Week at Newtown Retreat

We had a wonderful stay! Very nice place! Loved the quality of the house. The kitchen was well stocked and there were nice little added touches like umbrellas that came in handy one day. All the friends and family that visited during our stay also loved the place. We would absolutely stay there when in the area.

A great place, very clean and so well equipped, especially the kitchen. The beds are comfortable and have duvets with covers. Cozy! It was great to have a bathroom for each bedroom plus a half bath on the first floor. The house is in a good location, an easy walk to ‘downtown’ with good restaurants and interesting stores. Staunton is a nice town and good location to explore the Shenandoah Park.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

This property is AMAZING. The house is beautiful and spacious. The location is phenomenal. It is close enough to downtown Staunton to make for an easy walk but still feel secluded and removed. The beds are deliciously comfortable and it has all the amenities you could ask for. I would definitely stay here again.

Historic Staunton House

Recently renovated, just outside the main shopping and restaurant downtown area, the house was extremely clean and stocked with everything a traveler might need. Location was easy to find, check in and out was simple, and double lock door was secure and safe. The ambience of the interior was fresh and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this house if visiting historic Staunton.

A Must-Stay in Staunton!

One of the best rental experiences I have had! This house was perfectly lovely. It had everything we needed, including toiletries. The kitchen was well-stocked with kitchen tools & gadgets. The rooms were simply decorated & comfy. The house has a great vibe & is a close walk to downtown. We loved our stay!!

Updated, Clean and Close to Town

My husband, 3 year old, 2 month old and I all stayed for four nights. We appreciated the proximity to attractions. We visited Natural Chimneys and Blue Ridge Tunnel, both about 30 minutes away. If you have children, definitely check out Montgomery Hall park only 5 minutes away. Glad the park was so close, especially since the front porch is the only outdoor space. Eat at Mill Street Cafe, delicious!
