Awesome place for a getaway with friends or family!

My friends and I had a great time staying at this house. There are plenty of spaces for everyone to gather together but also for folks to break off it they want to read a book, take care of some work, or play games. We enjoyed the ping pong table and the fire pit. The kitchen had all the tools and dishes we needed to cook several meals - probably the best-stocked kitchen I've ever seen for a rental property. Doug made everything easy and replied quickly to any questions we had. I highly recommend staying here!

Fantastic House for a Family Gathering

Our family gathered in Virginia for a family wedding. The family members staying in this house ranged from 9 months old to 90 years old. This house suited everyone’s needs. It was very clean, well-stocked with anything we might need from kitchen supplies to laundry supplies to games and puzzles. I appreciate your little touches as well such as outlet safety covers. The view from the front and back of the house was spectacular. We all agreed that it was an amazing house.

Great house for visiting SNP

The house was great for our large party (ages 4-60s). It was in a great location for exploring SNP and visiting wineries and historical sites. There was plenty of room to spread out and we enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets from the covered back deck. Doug was great at communicating, would definitely recommend the home!

Thanksgiving

The house was just as pictured, clean and spacious, and yet cozy. Very well-stocked in the kitchen with plenty of plates, utensils, and cooking or baking needs. Beds comfortable. We all had a lovely time. Took a few hikes, and visited a few places, but mostly enjoyed hanging out with each other. Doug was very gracious and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful home!

We stayed in this beautiful home over labor day weekend. The house is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and well maintained. It had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch and looking out at the mountains. Apart from one night ordering pizza from the local pizza place, we cooked our meals at home in this well stocked kitchen. We also enjoyed making smores in the firepit. Overall, one our our absolute favorite vacations.

Best stay near Shenandoah

La Bella Vita is a beautifully decorated and furnished home. Very thoughtfully hosted. All beds, linens, appliances, dish-wear and supplies are of high quality. They have thought of everything you could want during your stay. The home has 5 well appointed bedrooms, basement has a ping pong table, and tv/game room. There is also an outdoor fire pit and the view of Old Rag from the comfortably furnished back patio is priceless. Shenandoah National park Thornton gap entrance is about 30 mins drive away. Luray is 40 min drive. If you are staying near Shenandoah, do not hesitate to book this place. The host Doug is very helpful and gracious! He’s very flexible with check in and check out time, when possible. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thanks Doug!

Mountain views, chirping birds, and a big comfy house!

This was an amazing place to stay, very relaxing and peaceful which was just what we wanted! There are beautiful paths around the property, and even just walking up the road and looking at some of the farms and land is just beautiful too. In the morning you could just hear all the birds flying chirping and tweeting. There is a lot of space on the back porch to relax on and we all spent a lot of time back there, enjoying the view of the mountains and the fresh air. One of the nights was particularly clear and we could see a decent bit of the milky way! I stayed here with my extended family - mom, husband, young kids, sister, cousin and her family, and we all fit nicely! I've stayed some places that are a nightmare with young kids, but this place was very conducive. There were baby gates, some child safety locks, and just general decor in most of the areas that wouldn't be completely trashed by a rambunctious toddler. There was a good bit to do in the area too. We got coffees and breakfast sandwiches in Sperryville which was about 15 minutes away at this little coffee shop I don't remember the name of. Right in that area was a little shop and pizza place too that was really good. Definitely not a general grocery store, but good for little things you might have forgotten, alcohol, or really good pizza. I really recommend this place for anyone looking for somewhere comfortable with amazing scenery! The host was great, everything was nice and clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook most nights, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Fantastic stay!
