About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Peaceful mountain farmhouse, close to Shenandoah NP, wineries and more

Soak up all that Mother Nature has to offer surrounded by the trees of Shenandoah National Park, in our farmhouse nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This spacious, child and dog friendly home is a perfect place to escape and reconnect. Hike, explore the nearby vineyards, or just relax on the porch. Set on 4 acres of private land with creek access, there is no shortage of fun to be had!

——

The space:
We love hosting and are always excited to be able to share this peaceful place.

When you enter: you will find a spacious foyer, a half bathroom, and a washer & dryer. Turn the corner and you're in our full kitchen, equipped with everything a budding chef would need. The dining room has a table for 6 and a record player with our small collection of vinyl. Cross the hallway into the living room which has a wood burning stove, television, DVD collection, board games, and a dog bed.

Upstairs is the master bedroom with king bed, large closet & en-suite full bathroom. There are also two queen bedrooms; one with a handmade bed, hanging chair and large closet space. The other has the largest closet, wonderful handmade touches, desk space & a gorgeous view. The last room on this floor is the family bathroom with bath & shower. The bedrooms and bathrooms should have everything you need for a relaxing getaway, including all sheets and linens.

We love to sit on the porch with a morning coffee or evening wine from a local winery and just enjoy all of natures noises, sounds & lights.

We also have a garage loaded with outdoor games, lawn furniture, and a charcoal grill.

There are two fire pits, a hammock, an outdoor dining area in the backyard, and lots of space to explore! Firewood is provided.

——

Shenandoah National Park is a stones throw away and can be reached in about 20 minutes to the Swift Run Gap Entrance. We have plenty of hiking maps & info booklets around the house.

We are surrounded by vineyards and wineries, 5 of which are 10-20 minutes away, but even more if you want to venture farther.

Some other places you might want to visit:

Massanutten Resort (skiing, waterpark, golf): ~35 minutes
Charlottesville, the University of Virginia, Monticello: 35-40 minutes
Harrisonburg and James Madison University: 40-45 minutes.
Luray Caverns: 1 hour

——

Guest access:
You will have full access to the entire house, with total privacy. Nobody else lives or stays on the property. The farmhouse is set on 4 acres of land with a hammock, swing, two fire pits and plenty of room for outdoor games. There is also access to the creek, which is located just across the private road and up a short trail.

——

Other things to note:
–The house is located on a private gravel road with a gate. It can be bumpy and steep in spots, but any vehicle should be able to navigate it. There is ample parking space at the house.

–Up to 2 pets at a time can stay, and must be up to date on tick & flea preventative care. There is a $40 fee per stay (not per day), to help account for the extra time it takes to clean after a pet has stayed.

We have yet to encounter anyone who has not been able to get cell phone reception at the house, so you should have at least some reception regardless of your carrier.

You're welcome to have visitors during your stay, but please no overnight guests or parties.

Perfect Weekend
The house and property were perfect for our stay. Very clean, more than well stocked with essentials, extras and fun stuff. Beds were super comfy. We didn’t bring pets or kids but it would’ve been a perfect set up for either. The house was pet, friendly, but best of all it did not smell like dogs! Everything was so clean and comfortable. Loved the birds and deer too. thank you for providing such a great space for our girls weekend. Will rent it again for a family get together.

Perfect Property
My husband and I drove up from FL with our golden retriever to enjoy the national park. We admittedly got in pretty late and the check in process went perfectly. We were so impressed by how beautiful the home and property were as well as how nicely stocked the home was. Of every vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in, this is the one with the most welcoming feel. I would recommend this home to anyone, especially those traveling with pets. It can be tough to find a place our 90lb golden can stay with us and it genuinely seems like pups of all sizes are welcomed 😊

Peaceful and restful place
We chose this location as it was close to Shenandoah National Park and the entrance we would be using for most of our hikes -Swift Run Gap (15-20 minutes away). The property was nestled away in a tree lined lot with a gated entrance ensuring our peace and quiet. We loved sitting on the side porch at night under string lights and listening to the sounds of nature. The house was clean, comfortable and everything was in good working order. It's VRBO description was accurate and we had no issues whatsoever. There is a grocery store and 3 great local restaurants in nearby Stanardsville and should you want more variety (chain restaurants and a Walmart) are within 25 minutes of the property. There is plenty to explore near this property or to catch some quiet time at the house. We did both and we leave with amazing memories and a longing to return. Thank you Julie for allowing us to stay at your Hilltop Hideaway!

Lovely Trip to Shenandoah Area
Our family, including two children and a lab, loved staying at Hightop Hideaway. The property was lovely, tucked away on a quiet hill leading into the mountains. The home was clean and well-appointed, with many small touches that made us feel "at home." We loved the location of the property, which served as a great jumping off point for day trips to explore the caverns in Luray, hike in Shenandoah, and check out a lake/beach near Charlottesville. Overall, this was a wonderful vacation that let us "unplug" and reconnect.

Wooded country retreat
We needed a quiet nightly escape from very busy days in Ruckersville, and this old farmhouse exceeded our needs. Booking and check-in were extremely smooth. While we didn’t utilize the grounds, fire pit and lawn games, it is easy to see that this accommodating rental would be loads of fun for a family or small group of adults. Directions provided by host were easy to follow and quite necessary. Highly recommend.
