House in the Holla
It was nicely located for what we wanted to do. The cabin was very nice. It was clean and very well equipped. We did have a power failure one night after a rain storm. As the instructions stated, we contacted the owner and she got back to me within 10 minutes and said that she had notified the electric company. It came on in less than an hour.

Peaceful House in the Holla
If youre looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway, look no further. This property with a creek, and beautiful house with a private setting is so relaxing. The sound of the creek and the beauty of the property made our stay magical. We will definitely come back again.

Cute and cozy!
My fiancé and I stayed at the house for one night during a trip to Shenandoah, and the location was very convenient and close to the park. We chose this rental because of the stream running by, and we loved having a fire down by the water. Overall the rental was exactly what we were looking for - cute, cozy, and a nice escape! Our one complaint is that the shower had a strong sulfur smell when running the hot water.

Great stay
Overall great property- easy to get to with offline maps and very close to the places we wanted to see. The outside grill was easy to use and was lovely staying by the creek. the firepit was also easy to use too. Inside, the place felt very clean. In the kitchen, there even is an electric indoor grill if you do not want to cook outside. Temperature was comfortable. The only issue is when we checked some of the blankets, there was still some fur on it (from my guess, previous guests) so we did not use those blankets.

Tranquil mountain cottage
This cottage was as cute as can be with every amenity for comfort, the yard is serene and has a picturesque stream which can be heard from the house. Easy drive to hiking and skyline drive.
