Wonderful getaway cabin
Perfect cabin for relaxing, unplugging and hiking the nearby trails! The cabin has everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved that we could cook full meals in the kitchen and there were plenty of pots, pans and utensils. The wood indoor stove is top notch, we loved having cozy fires at night. There were some games, books and DVDs at the cabin which were great to have on hand to relax.The view of the surrounding area and stars at night are stunning. We enjoyed exploring the nearby towns and of course going to Shenandoah NP. This place is exactly what we were looking for- cozy, secluded, and romantic.The hosts were very responsive and kind, and provided great directions and instructions. We would love to come back again.

Pleasant Fall Stay
We wanted to see fall colors and enjoy some cooler temperatures, and we got all that and more. The cabin is nestled in the trees and right next to a small lake, very picturesque. Check in was opening a padlock on the mailbox. The cabin is a nice size for 2 and is nicely equipped for meal prep, relaxation and unplugged enjoyment.

Two week stay
Cabin was great, was a little concerned about the road in but it wasn’t a problem. Location to park and hikes good, luray caverns, James Madison home also worth seeing. 5 deer out the back window on Saturday. Thanks for the new deck and steps. 😊. Only suggestion would be we had salt and no pepper and no charcoal for the grill. Beds are old and we ended up using two but all in all a fun cabin.

Basic, but cozy and charming and met our needs
The cabin is basic and could probably use some updating on a few things, But it seemed the host gave a good deal of thought to making sure that Guests would have what they need. The suggestions to rely on printed turn-by-turn instructions to find the property instead of relying on GPS got me a little lost arriving. If you have set your g p s before getting close to the cabin, you'll probably make out just fine. But there is no cellular service in the area of the cabin on either t mobile or verizon, So take that into consideration when planning. Once there, though, we had everything we needed. First shower was cold, but I found the breaker box and turned the hot water back on there. There was a note in a welcome guide on the coffee table saying that we would need to engage the hot water heater breaker. But I didn't realize it until a day or so into our visit. Some are cooling was provided by a single window unit air conditioner, Located at the opposite end of the cabin, from the bedrooms. With the bedroom doors closed, A/C unit provided limited comfort unless set very cold. The bedrooms are an open design which does allow some airflow over the walls, below the cabin ceiling, so that was a help. Cabin was convenient to old rag mountain, Our hiking destination and that worked well for us. We had one or two days with rain, But the cabin was comfy and cozy for an afternoon of reading to pass the time. We enjoyed our stay!

Be Careful...
The cabin is well located to the Madison County, VA area and it is secluded. However, it's old, crusty & musty and a bit overdue for a make over. Kinda reminds me of an old boy scout camp. The biggest issue, however, is access to the cabin itself. I would have to advise anyone with any mobility issue at all to think carefully before renting. The approaches are steep, many high rise steps that are made from concrete blocks and in very poor deteriorated condition. And there's no way to position your vehicle directly next to the cabin entrance doors for unloading & loading. So if you must rent here, I'd strongly advise packing very lightly or you'll be dragging your gear up and down over the damaged concrete steps. It's a slip & fall lawyers dream really. We left a day early as a result.

Unplugging in VA
It was wonderful to disconnect and spend time in this cabin! GREAT please to go to unwind in the mountains without the stress of camping. The hosts sent us directions prior which helped as we got into the area. 5 days was not enough to do all the things! Especially with fourth of July in the mix. Thinking of returning in the fall ... but we were able to eat at some local restraunts, tour Luray caverns, drive on Skyline drive, and spend as much time as possible outside! The VRBO info / page was a little confusing with contradicting amenities but Jane quickly answered my messages to answer any questions!
