Gorgeous, secluded, and comfortable!

My siblings and I stayed for a week at this lovely house. We swam, kayaked, fished, and relaxed on the huge decks. On our walks we saw deer, turkey, egrets and more. The house sits on a small lake with clear, deep water, perfect for swimming. We cooked meals in the spacious kitchen and shopped in Waynesboro, which is only about 20 minutes away. Every night we watched incredible sunsets from the deck.If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing spot, this is the place!

Beautiful and relaxing property

We rented this house for a girls weekend and it was perfect! The house was so big, there were spaces we never used (like the basement game area). We enjoyed the large kitchen, the outdoor decks, the pavilion, and the views! It was quiet and beautiful. The house was well stocked and Megan was very responsive and helpful. We are already trying to figure out when we can go back!

Great property to relax and unwind

This is the 3rd time I’ve stayed at the house but first time w my family. They all had a blast. Plenty of things to entertain teenagers. Highly recommend. Only minor issue with our trip was the hot tub was not working properly but the owner was quick to respond to my inquiry and getting it serviced

The best escape in the Shenandoah area

The house and property were amazing!! So much space and the pictures don’t even do this place justice. The lake and entertainment by the water was so great and the cabin is huge with all the perks! I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic Time on the Mountain!

This was a great place for an extended family get together. Some hiked, some fished. All had a blast! We hear and/or saw turkeys, owls and deer. And caught bass and bluegill in the pond! Only minor wrinkle was the stink bugs and lady bugs around the windows - not a surprise for a cabin in the woods in the spring. As long as you have one or two people in your group that are willing to scoop them up and send them outside, then not a big deal!

Christmas at the Cabin

Don't keep looking..... Book your stay here! It's AMAZING! This cabin has stunning views and complete serenity. The Pavilion by the lake just can't be beat....an outdoor OASIS! The hosts are very accommodating, the Christmas decor was beautiful. The cabin itself is cozy and spacious and will have everything you need!

Great place to relax and to adventure!

Very clean, plenty of space, a great place to relax and have fun indoors or to adventure outdoors to hike, fish, or to sit by the outdoor fire pit and/or lake pavillion with fireplace, pool table, and kitchen!! You only live once: spend a little more to stay at an amazing place like this! We definitely made the right choice for our 4 adults and 7 children!! Thank you to Megan for being a great host! We hope to return once again!

Luxury retreat

Everything about the property was planned and built with top quality. It was easy to communicate with Terry who was very friendly. We have never stayed at a property with such access to privacy yet many on-site activities. We loved it. Well worth the drive!

Great stay close to wedding venue

We had a great stay with family and loved being close to our daughter’s wedding venue. Thankful the host was so accommodating with last minute changes due to hurricane in Florida (our home). Wish we had more time to enjoy all the amenities. Spacious home worked well for 5 adults and two teens. Other family came to visit and it was nice to have the base camp.

Excellent Location for Work Retreat

Fantastic place for a work retreat, more privacy than I've ever experienced at a rental with acres of woods and a gated entrance. It was unusually hot for June, but there was still plenty of space and activities inside during the mid-day heat. Whether you're into fishing, canoeing/kayaking, sunbathing, campfires, board games, foosball/pool, hiking, or swimming, there are activities for everyone. I took the kayak out each morning to fish, ended up catching a bunch of bluegill and a few small bass. Lots of birds and other wildlife. Kitchen and other amenities are top quality. Plenty of breweries and wineries to explore if you're willing to explore 20-30 minutes from the house.

Incredible property!

Had a girls trip with my friends here and the property was spectacular! Super clean, just like the photos (or even better), the dock area was an incredible bonus and we had a lot of fun swimming in the lake on a hot summer day. Megan was super responsive to my questions ahead of time and even gave winery recommendations. I would definitely visit again!

Perfect family vacation

We all had a wonderful time. Plenty to do for the adults and kids. The the house was very nice and relaxing. We all went swimming everday. We enjoyed our lunches and brunches down by the lake at the pavilion. The kids fished every day. The lake was very clean and refreshing. We had a fire outside every night. The grandkids were so busy, there wasn't any complaining about being bored or what we were going to do next. The house was setup perfect for a family vacation. I just sat back relaxed and enjoyed watching my family having fun. Communication with the owner (host) was great. Seemed to be a very easy going guy. Very easy to talk to. We had everything we needed. We never left once we arrived. We all can't wait to go back again. Thank You Very Much. Bob Witmer
