Best view Ever

My husband and I took the weekend to get away and this was the perfect place. It is a trek up the mountain and worth it. Very clean and the hosts were friendly and approachable. Definitely recommend. Just be aware that the drive up is gravel road and at times steep. Best have AWD or 4 WD.

Under the stars

Being so high up, the cabin's deck offered unparalleled mountain views. The sunrise, sunset, dusk, dawn, night sky seeded with stars kept us entertained with ever changing colors and visitors (e.g.: deer, woodpeckers, titmouse, etc.) The cabin is well equipped with cooking utensils and offers plenty of storage as well. Its proximity to Shenandoah NP is a huge plus. Our hosts were very quick to respond to messages and easing any concerns we had. We cannot wait to be back.

Beautiful

This is the most beautiful cabin you could ever wish for! It is secluded, quiet, and the view from the top is even better than the national park! The drive up the mountain is a little intimidating if you’re not used to driving up mountains like us. It is about 20 minutes up and the closest option for food is about 20 minutes away. That being said you should pack meals to eat in a cooler, we only packed sandwiches and a few snacks but wish we had packed any food we might of wanted. The owners are very nice and accommodating, we really enjoyed waking up to the sunrise over the mountains and plan to go back for another trip!

Thank you Tessy!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Guesthause. Tessy and her husband are great hosts. Their property is the perfect getaway from everyday life and we can’t wait to be back. You won’t regret booking your stay here. The view and peace you feel from being immersed in nature is refreshing. You’ll never want to leave.

Birthday Weekend

My wife and myself both enjoy nature, and this place did not disappoint. Honestly picking the place strictly on the view alone did not disappoint. We looked forward to waking up early for the sun rise and coffee, enjoyed the winding ride up and down the mountain, and counted the minutes until sunset just to watch every evening.

Great time in Shenendoah

Property and hosts are superb!! We had a great time with a beautiful view. The sunrises were awesome. The drive in a little tricky but once in well worth it and after a time or two not bad at all. House was quiet and secluded. Very nice for time with my wife. We were 1/2 hour from the park, were treated very well and would highly recommend this property to anyone!! It was wonderful !!

Beautiful spot for a self-retreat

I spent a week on a self-meditation retreat. The location and the facilities were beautiful. The view is amazing - the pictures are accurate. Tessy and Steve were great hosts - very helpful. I got to walk part of the Appalachian Trail nearby - saw a bear cross the path. There are wineries nearby, though I did not go to any. Great place for a getaway.
