About this property

Quiet Home in Harrisonburg with Spectacular Shenandoah Valley Views.

This home is located on a hill and has a stunning view of the Shenandoah Valley. The large front porch offers a relaxed setting for conversation, eating, watching the clouds, or reading great books. The interior is light, airy, and spacious. The kitchen is well-equipped with tableware, dishes, pots and pans. Fair-trade coffee, tea, and sugar are provided. There is parking space for three cars in the driveway. In addition to the spectacular view, the home offers quick and easy access to EMU and JMU in minutes. There are grocery stores conveniently located near-by and delicious food within walking distance, including Bowl of Good and La Morena's. The Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the George Washington National Forest to the the west. Both areas are renown for skiing, hiking and biking trails, and dramatic foliage in the fall. We are also about fifteen miles from Massanuttan Ski Resort and Water Park.
The area around Harrisonburg hosts a number of music festivals, including Red Wing Roots Festival, Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival, and the Shenandoah Music Festival. The town has a quiet small town charm with impressive public parks and an Annual Chocolate Walk in addition to other festive events throughout the year. As an added bonus, area universities offer a wide range of cultural performances throughout the year. And the splendid American Shakespeare Blackfriars Playhouse is a mere thirty minutes away in Staunton, Virginia.
There is a separate apartment over the garage to our house where a friend of the family lives. Their apartment is separate from the house but they park in the garage sometimes so please avoid parking them in.

Reunion
Three old friends get together once a year to catch up while seeing new areas of the country. We met at Harrisonburg, Va this year and stayed in this Vrbo. The house was exactly as advertised: clean, comfortable, spacious and located in a quiet neighborhood convenient to all the amenities we were looking for. Can honestly say that we would all recommend this place to accommodate visitors to the area.

Another beautiful stay
This house is lovely, well-equipped and has beautiful views from the living room, front porch and two of the bedrooms out to the mountains. It is a great place for a family vacation or get-together. It is spacious with five bedrooms, and a number of other spaces for cozy chats, movie-watching, and meals together. This was our second stay in the house, and we hope for another. When a question came up, Mary was quick to respond with help and advice.

Recital Weekend
Family gathered at JMU from Pennsylvania and Virginia to attend our daughter’s senior recital. The home exceeded our expectations - it was absolutely perfect for our family. The first floor master bedroom was easily accessible to grandparents. It was very clean and roomy! Everything we needed was there! PLUS, the porch was amazing and so were the views!

The PERFECT Rental For JMU Families
We've stayed at this property 4 times now. It could not be more perfect for JMU families. Situated just a couple miles off campus in a quiet neighborhood offering a panoramic view of the mountains, this house is a gem. The house itself is in immaculate condition and offers ample space for larger groups. Mary, the owner, could not be more attentive and responsive to her tenants. It's simply the perfect location. We will be back again and again.

Highly recommend for family stay
This was a beautiful, large house with great amenities to accommodate our family of five with plus ones and an infant. We stayed as out of town guests in for a family wedding, and the house provided a perfect home base and perfectly suited us with several large bedrooms and tons of communal, comfy seating. What a gorgeous view of the mountains. Can't recommend enough!
