    5-Star Stay! Perfect Graduation Weekend and Beautiful Home! We had a wonderful stay at this property while celebrating my daughter's graduation from Mary Baldwin University! The house is absolutely beautiful, comfy, and exceptionally clean from top to bottom. It provided the perfect amount of space for all of us—including the graduate, my adult son, and his girlfriend—to comfortably relax and celebrate together. The location is fantastic and made traveling to and from the university events incredibly easy. We highly recommend this home for family milestones and would absolutely stay here again!

    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.

    We had a great visit - Chris was an excellent host who always responded promptly. The home is clean and a close walk to everything in downtown Staunton and is a nice drive to hikes in the area and Shenandoah NP. I hope to be able to visit again soon, and would definitely want to stay here again.
