Another wonderful getaway!

This was our 3rd or 4th stay at this lovely and comfortable farmhouse. Kathleen is an excellent host; kind, caring, responsive, and communicative. The property, both inside and out is beautiful, and we absolutely love the rescue steer residents. We enjoyed Happy Hour by the river and daily hikes in Shenandoah National Park and other local parks. We will happily return again.

Great in every way

Beautiful country property. The host was wonderful and very easy to communicate with. My wife, our three college student kids, and our middle schooler all found the property to be clean, comfortable, and homey. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a vacation away from busyness.

GREAT stay, peaceful and clean!

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. The home was very nice, clean, and serviceable. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. The property is beautiful, I can see why some folks have chosen to just stay here on their vacations. I wish we had time to enjoy more and will hopefully come back again. One note that might be important to those traveling with older family or friends is the 2nd bathroom is in the lower basement level of the home and the second floor is 2 bedrooms and no bathroom. That caused us to have to do a bit of an adjustment on who stayed in what bedrooms but was not a huge deal. Overall a GREAT home with GREAT views and very clean! Thank you!

A piece of heaven

Peace just descends on us all when we stay here. The home is beautiful, well-stocked, and very clean. We hardly want to leave the property when we're there. However, we did enjoy the "wilds" of Harper's Ferry and ventured into a couple of the small communities nearby. All worth it, but we're always happy to return to "heaven".

Post Christmas Trip

The property was peaceful. There are plenty of paces to stroll and nearby hiking trails as well. The sound of the water was soothing and relaxing. I am sure it must be a great retreat from the heat of the summer as tubing and kayaking would be readily available.

Everything was perfect. The pictures of the property don’t do the beauty justice. Gorgeous setting in the valley, by the river, with mountain range all around. The house had everything we needed and more. We’ll be back again for sure!

The pictures do not do this property justice. Its more beautiful than you can imagine. The river access was super easy. The house is clean and has EVERYTHING you could possibly need at your fingertips. Kathleen and Jerry were very helpful and available to help with any little detail. Their recommendation of Crabills meat market up the road was great and they even pointed us in the right direction for a restaurant in town. The only thing we would have done differently about our stay was to spend more time on this property because it was the best spot around. Do yourself a favor and book a weekend to just hang at this beautiful property. So relaxing.

More than just a vrbo

This place IS the destination! The house was very nice and very accommodating. The river front was the attraction. Outside of a few day trips to hike in the national forest and see the caverns, we hung out on the property the whole time. fishing, tubing, kayaking, fire pit, secluded privacy as far as you can see, wildlife, Berry picking, hiking trail up the mountain, lunch picnics under the mature trees and beautiful sunsets…. I could go on, but please do not fill up this properties calander, because we will definitely be back!

Quiet Getaway

Very peaceful and quiet farm house. The house is beautiful. The bridge looks scary but it was ok after the first time. The house has everything you need. Kathleen is very nice and will get right back to you with any concerns you might have. It was a awesome time. Hope to go back soon.

What a view! Surrounded by mountains my friends and I ha d a great weekend wading thru the river fishing and taking in the scenery. The property was amazing, the home was clean and very well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Ran into the owner who was with her team maintaining the property and she was very pleasant. The beds were very comfortable. Laundry situation was great as well. 5 Stars from us fellas.

Amazing, wide open beautiful fields.. if you are looking for peace and quiet and total relaxation, this is your place!!!! Clean, well stocked and very comfortable. Only draw back is 2nd bathroom is in basement. Steep steps, not suited for handicaps individuals. If you like old civil war History this is it. We will definitely come back.

Lovely stay in a beautiful setting

The house and property are exactly as advertised. Very clean, spacious, and well appointed. Plenty of space for our family of four plus grandma. The property is huge and in a very quiet and peaceful setting. Kids loved the direct access to the river. The host is very responsive and we took her many suggestions for local food, local meat at Crabill’s (best breakfast sausage ever!), and local activities. Could not have asked for anything more. It was a great reprieve from our temporary apartment living while our house is being renovated. Definitely recommend this property if your goal is to relax in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley!
