About this property

Cresta Blava in Beautiful Shenandoah Woods

Cresta Blava means “Blue Ridge” in Catalan and is fitting as it is situation in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. It is only 0.5 miles from 2 wedding venues (The Pavilion at Shenandoah Woods and Brenwood Lake Weddings), yet private and close to nature!

Cresta Blava is a recently-constructed (completed in March 2019) solid log cabin offering a blend of comfort and modern amenities. It has three bedrooms and 3.5 baths and is designed for three couples but can accommodate families with children as well. Each bedroom has a king bed with private bath. The master bath has a vanity with double sinks, a large soaking tub, separate shower, walk-in closet and private water closet. The second bedroom’s bath has a large vanity and traditional tub/shower combo. The third bedroom’s bath has a large vanity with double sinks and large shower stall. Each bedroom has a 40” Smart TV.

The main level offers a nicely appointed kitchen (including stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops), laundry room, dining area, two bedrooms, and great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and toasty gas fireplace. A large deck with seating and a gas fire pit is a perfect place to unwind and take in the stunning views … or sit inside and enjoy the views from the 2-story floor-to-ceiling windows! A 55” TV is mounted above the fireplace in the event you get tired of the stunning views. Want to cook out? Use our charcoal grill just outside the kitchen!

On our lower level you’ll find the third bedroom with bath, a second family room with 65” SmartTV with Blu-Ray DVD player, Foosball table, table and chairs perfect for games or puzzles, a wet bar, and separate deck with hot tub. With Wi-Fi and DirectTV, what else could you need?

NEW! We just upgraded our WiFi and now get blazing-fast speeds! Greater than 500Mbps was measured on the main floor! Your needs for working remotely are supported better than ever!

We also recently installed a 24kW Generac home generator capable of powering the entire home for days in the event of a power outage. No more worrying about losing power while preparing for a wedding event, cooking the elaborate holiday meal, or on that extra cold night!

* NOTE: For added security, the property has a Ring Doorbell at the main entrance and floodlights mounted on the upper front corners of the home, all containing surveillance cameras. The only places we can see your movements are OUTSIDE in the front and front-sides of the cabin. There are NO cameras, listening devices, etc. anywhere INSIDE the cabin nor overlooking the back decks or hot tub. This is for our protection as well as yours! If you have any questions about this please call (240) 730-7072.

Late birthday trip

Visited with my boyfriend as a late birthday trip for myself. We have visited this area of Virginia several times and have always enjoyed it. Cresta Blava was definitely the biggest, cleanest, and best maintained property we have ever stayed at. We both hope to return for a longer vacation in the future!

Holiday Vacation

My husband and I, our 3 and 6 year old sons, and my in-laws had an excellent time at Cresta Blava! The list of inclusions is more extensive than most rentals in my experience, and it is a beautiful, well-kept cabin with a breathtaking view. Wisteria Farm and Vineyard nearby has a playground for kids, and good wines. We also went hiking in the Shenandoah national park and to a winery further south. Overall, great location and accommodations!

Wonderful stay at a beautiful cabin

We stayed with our 2 year old, 5 year old and two friends and the house worked out perfectly for us. We especially appreciated the availability of baby stuff (pack and play, baby gate, high chair), beautiful views, and telescope. The rooms were lovely and clean, the beds were comfortable. We had a small hiccup and the owners were extremely responsive and someone was at the cabin within 30 minutes to help us. All around a wonderful stay and we will definitely be staying again in the future.

Wonderful place

Of the four cabins that I’ve rented this one is the best so far. It is beautiful and spacious. It’s in excellent condition, and has great amenities. It felt very private, even though it’s not very far from the main roads. I highly recommend it, and will probably rent it again.

Great weekend getaway

In looking for a place to stay for a wedding weekend, our 3 couple friend group had a few “must have” items! One was a view, one was a hot tube, and the last was three bedrooms with king beds and 3 separate bathrooms! When we found this gem we knew we had hit the jackpot!! It checked ALL THREE “must haves”! We spent hours in the hot tube, took in the views from the porch balcony, and ventured into Luray for a tour of the caverns and the best lunch. The house was clean, welcoming, and well stocked!

AMAZING!!!! All that needs to be said about this property!

What a wonderful, clean and cozy home….nestled in the woods on top of a hill overlooking what seemed like a little valley. This place had the most spectacular views, all amenities as your own home, and most important…just peaceful and surrounded by beauty! Thanks Katie for allowing us to celebrate our 10 year anniversary in your home…we might just have to make it a tradition every year!

Mountain Weekend

We had a great stay at Cresta Blava! The house was exactly like the pictures and very clean! Perfect set up for 3 couples! The road leading up to the house is gravel and a little washed out in parts but definitely doable in a sedan with a little caution.

I highly recommend this property for a family getaway. The house is just as it is described, very clean, and has a well equipped kitched. Plenty of space for 3 couples. The fireplace inside, and the firepit on the deck were perfect accents to the beautiful view of the mountains.

Inn at Little Washington landing

We came for a dinner at the Inn at Little Washington and were looking for a comfortable spot for 2 adult couples. Found it - beautiful, comfortable and perfect for us. We made the most amazing dinner and breakfast there. Kitchen had everything we needed. We really needed an extra day to enjoy the home - the downstairs is awesome and we never had the time to use it or the hot tub area - which was also perfect. Very close to Luray caverns -which we went to and the hike/walk thru the community was just enough. Very quiet with the exception of birds and cows - lovely view off the deck - DO IT!

Beautiful rural getaway

This was a perfect spot for a weekend getaway — the view alone was worth it. It was rustic-feeling but also upscale, and felt secluded while still being within driving distance of local businesses. Our only regret was the weather was too warm for the hot tub but we’d 100% make another trip out for the fall or spring!

Five star

Property is beautiful. Cabin immaculate. Views are fantastic. Incredibly comfortable for 6 adults. Hosts are incredibly responsive - but we honestly rarely needed to message then as everything was clean and as described. Location is great for access to Shenandoah park. Sitting on the deck with a beer after a day hiking while watching the sun set behind the mountains is ideal.

Wonderful Getaway

The house was amazing! It was so clean and well organized. The views were amazing. We had a group of 4 with age ranges of 65 to 73. There was only one step to get into the house. This was awesome since one person used a cane and one just had back surgery. We couldn’t have asked for a better house. Thanks to the owners for sharing with us!!

About the host

Hosted by Katie Mazza

Host profile image
We are Katie and Joe Mazza. Katie was born into a military family and has had the pleasure of living in many places all around the world. Joe was raised in New Jersey and fell in love with Virginia the very first day he arrived at his alma mater, Virginia Tech. Katie and Joe became avid B&B and cabin renters over a decade ago across Page and Rappahannock counties as a way to escape the hustle and bustle of their Northern Virginia based careers. After discovering Cresta Blava – where we stayed as guests 6 times ourselves - we were hooked! So much so that when the original owners decided to hand their legacy to someone else, we jumped at the chance to take the reins with the hope of bringing its splendor to you with the same care and attention that they did.

Why they chose this property

Recently constructed solid log cabin in the highly desirable Shenandoah Woods area of the Shenandoah Valley. Situated in Page County Virginia, there is history, outdoor activities, and close to a number of gorgeous wedding venues as rated by The Knot.

What makes this property unique

Conveniently located in Shenandoah Woods, only 0.5 miles from two wedding venues (The Pavilion at Shenandoah Woods and Brenwood Lake Weddings). Close to Luray Caverns, Skyline Drive and Shenandoah River for a variety of outdoor activities. Gorgeous views so you can be as active or as relaxed as you'd like!
