Best Vacation Ever

When it got dark and the stars came out over the mountain opposite the back porch, the face of the mountain started to twinkle with dozens of fireflies. It was truly magical!

Serene seclusion

The drive to get there from 81 is a VERY curvy mountain road. But if you're looking to get away from people and the noise of suburbia then this is heaven on earth!The setup is perfect for families! The house is close to the road but since maybe 5 cars go down it on a busy day you don't even notice.Our favorite thing to do is sit by creek and read a book.There's plenty of seating indoors and out. The kitchen is very well appointed including farm fresh eggs YUM! There's also plenty of blankets and pillows so no need to worry about bringing your own.

Beauty and peace!!!

We loved our stay here!!! If you want to get away from it all, this is the place to go!!!! Surrounded on all sides by natural beauty, mountains, wildflower fields with a creek running and all the pleasures this setting brings!!! The home is beautiful and tastefully done with multiple activities inside and out!! Hot tub, swing , double hammock, pool table and jacuzzi tub in master bath also a dry sauna!!! Don’t forget about the river rock fireplace, big upper deck on back of the house that overlooked the creek and cozy front porch to sip your morning coffee on!!! What a relaxing setting, we would all love to stay here again!! I forgot to mention how kind and thoughtful the owners are but it is a very good feeling to know if you need them, they will immediately respond and address anything that needs to be done, sweet couple!!!!! We highly recommend this rental!!!!

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the home. It is set up to provide many entertainment options for adults and children or to just provide a place to sit back and relax if that is what you want. Highland County if very remote and this location is in one of the most remote parts of the county so you are truly away from it all. Very quiet day and night. A nice setting in the backyard with the creek and a steep mountain beyond the creek. The kitchen is spacious and was equipped with everything anyone could possibly need.

Great weekend getaway

Our stay was excellent and the property and surrounding area was bliss- private backyard backing up to a creek, quiet and scenic, just wonderful and just as described. The house was well equipped, clean, and had everything we needed for my family (and our two dogs) to enjoy for my birthday weekend. The area is very remote which makes it a great getaway from the busy DC area. Will definitely return again

Amazing Mountain Stay

We loved it!! Clean, welcoming and pet friendly! We spent our evenings in the hot tub gazing at the beautiful mountain and stream behind the property. All modern amenities. Roku, sauna and wi-fi. Nice big kitchen. So many great places to enjoy the scenery. The sounding knob fire tower, Greenbank Observatory and downtown Monterey are close by. Thanks again

Back creek valley

A well maintained beautifully situated house with just the right amout of landscaping without being too busy or crowded. The mountain views, valley drive in, and proximity to GW National Forest & town were perfect for us. There was plenty for us to do at the house as well as amenities offered inand around town. Host was responsive to our requests.

Fall Get Away

We wanted a quiet getaway in the Shenandoah valley. We found it with this lovely home. My favorite spot was sitting on the covered back deck, listening to the brook. The pool table was an added bonus. The kitchen had everything we needed. The views as we biked down the road to the sugar house was the best. Ellis and Manette are the perfect host. If we ever head back, we would absolutely rent this home again.

Simply Amazing!

Stunning property! Very quiet and peaceful. Maybe 5 cars passed it all day long!! The house and porch were very clean with a fully equipped kitchen. The view from the hot tub at night over the mountain is amazing and very well maintained as well. My husband and I stayed 5 days and did not want to leave. Plenty to do with the pool table, darts and ping pong. And, the cleared path was awesome for our pupps. The firepit & creek were perfect to sit by and relax. Manette and Ellis were very responsive and even brought us fresh eggs and extra firewood! As much as I would love this place all to myself - I highly recommend visiting for just a couples retreat or family outing.
