RVA for Massanutten

Had a great experience, Lisa was very patient and understanding with all my questions- the house was cute and tucked away. Plenty of room to walk- due to rain was limited.

Great stay, highly recommended!

From the cleanliness of the property, to the little touches throughout. We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our state. Located on a active horse ranch, we really felt like we managed to get away from it all on our stay. We even took advantage of the available Horse Trail rides, and everyone had a great time.

Beautiful and relaxing

We loved staying at this cabin. The farm is beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed swimming in the river and taking a walk. It was so relaxing and wonderful. And it is so good to know that host is at a stone throw if we needed anything. We would definitely stay there again.

Great and unique place to stay

The house was lovely and very comfortable for the night. The better part is being able to watch and say hi to the beautiful horses (and goats) on the property. Our kids loved watching the animals and running around the yard. Great place that was convenient for heading into Shenandoah.

A farm in the Grottoes

This is an excellent property with much to see from landscapes to animals. The home is well equipped and clean. The amenities are plentiful. We cannot wait to return. This could be an annual destination. Lisa was very responsive to questions and accommodating to several itinerary changes.

Horse Farm

We had a terrific visit at the horse farm. Had more than enough room for everyone. Hostess was great and friendly. We enjoyed horse rides and just being out in the country. We highly recommend this property if you want to disconnect from daily hassles for a few days.
