Luved this hidden gem off the beaten path with everything you need. Plenty of room for our family of 4 with 2 college students and pups. Beds are comfy, kitchen has everything you need to cook/stay in. Luved the deck, grilled and ate out back. This was our first trip to Shenandoah National park. We did 3 days of hiking and one day at Luray caverns and horseback riding at Graves Farm. We traveled every day from the home to the park. Ate breakfast and dinner in the cabin and packed lunches. Kids got coffee at “Maybelle’s on Main” on way to park. It’s about a 40 minute drive to park entrance, go south one day and north on sky line the other two. Be sure to do Rose Falls dark hollows loop trail. Initially I thought the house might be too far from the park but it was no different from staying outside of Yellowstone or glacier and driving in. FYI: You do need 4 wheel drive for the driveway. Stairs inside are steep n not meant for people with any mobility issues. But couch is comfy!

Bernadette, thanks for staying with us and for the great review. Glad you loved this hidden gem and that it had everything your family and pups needed! Happy you enjoyed Shenandoah, Luray Caverns, and the hikes; thanks for the helpful notes about the 40-minute drive, needing 4-wheel drive for the driveway, and the steep stairs. We’d love to host you again!
