Outstanding property! Great location! We loved everything about our stay. Lots to do in the fall with the pumpkin patch close by. House was perfect with attention to all the details. We’d love to return!

Outstanding property!

We had an amazing time. Loved the indoor and outdoor spaces. Lots to do in the fall with the pumpkin patch a short walk away. Beautiful views of pastures and highland cows to the back and Massanutten mountain from the front. We enjoyed every bit of our time staying here. The inside was spotless and new with all the modern amenities. We'd love to stay again sometime. The hosts were remarkable and the house was top notch!

JMU Weekend

Great experience. Owner/manager proactively called to see if we needed an early check in. We didn’t, but they let us in early which ended up being extremely convenient for us. Property was beautiful. House was spotless with great living space and great outdoor space with amazing views. Location very convenient to JMU, which is why we were in the area. The cow and pumpkin farm next door was adorable and in no way interfered with the privacy of our weekend rental. Will definitely come back when we need more than a hotel room. Highly recommend!
