Everything we were looking for in a cabin stay. Spectacular view of the Shenandoah River from the porch or from inside. The cabin had plenty of heating for the winter and we were provided plenty of firewood. Host ensured road to cabin was accessible and kept us informed prior to stay. Would visit again, for sure!

The cabin was exactly what we hoped for: secluded and quiet with a fantastic view, and only a 10 minute drive from town. Sadly, in order to avoid an incoming snow storm we chose to leave a night early. We will absolutely be back when the weather warms up! Thank you for sharing your home with us John!

This is our fourth stay in one of John’s cabins. The cozy cottage is definitely our favorite for the king sized bed and wraparound porch with incredible views. Truly appreciate the ability to get away with our dogs in a secluded space only 10 minutes away from amenities. Highly recommend to anyone considering a stay.

Loved the place..but the lockbox on gate is almost impossible to open..took us over 20 minutes in and out..wont open easy AT ALL. Only other complaint was that i drove over 1000 miles..exhausted..time for bed and realized we have to make our beds! ..ceiling light in kitchen was out so it was kinda dark..but loved eveything else!!!

Breath taking views. Greeted with a Bald Eagle perched just off the patio. Very quiet and serene location. Host was quickly responsive to questions. Entry to the property road was difficult and potentially dangerous. Very sharp turn right after a turn on the state road. Highly recommend that people use the graveled area on the left side of the road. Obtaining the gate key tricky but it might be the fact that I was not familiar with the lockbox. Definitely we would return to the property if our future travel brought us to the area
