Yes, the kitchen was well equipped. The place was very near the Shenandoah national forest which we enjoyed. Only issue was the mattress in the one bedroom was not comfortable.

It was a very pleasant stay for a 2-night getaway in the mountains. Because of the details, from kitchen appliances and dinnerware to a first aid kit and 3 televisions with streaming), it had a nice homey feel as if you were visiting your aunt’s house. It would be great to have additional suggestions on local convenience stores or restaurants perhaps in the Elkton area, especially for those exploring Skyline Drive.

This beautiful home was the perfect place for our stay! It was so peaceful, cozy, and surrounded by nature. The creek was magical, and our dog Maverick has the best time playing in it. We loved relaxing here and exploring Shenandoah National Park during the day. This was the perfect getaway, and I’m so grateful for the entire experience. I’ll cherish these memories forever!

Perfect Shenandoah Base Camp

Dana’s place was a perfect base camp for our trip to Shenandoah. Super easy access to go north or south in the park and a very peaceful environment during our downtime. We loved the outdoor fire pits and being able to listen to the stream at night made for such a lovely stay!

Great place near Shenandoah National Park

We spent the day hiking on Skyline drive and retreated to this lovely bungalow next to a babbling stream. After cooking dinner in the grill we sat and talked around the fire pit. We appreciated the farm fresh eggs and all the other comforts of home. If you are planning a trip to the park, this is where you want to stay!

Shenandoah wildflower photography

We spent 4 days photographing the spring wildflowers in Shenandoah National Park. The house was conveniently located for us to drive to the park. We hiked in the mornings and visited a few wineries in the afternoon. Early Mountain and Glass House wineries are very close. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Holla

We had a wonderful stay. Not sure how the creek runs all year but in the spring the sound is amazing. Everything is there you will need for a very comfortable stay. If we are ever back in that part of the world we will certainly see if there is any availability.

Perfect base for exploring!

We had such a wonderful stay! This charming house was the perfect base for us as we explored Shenandoah NP and Monticello with our 2 dogs. The home itself is very comfortable and clean, and the property is lovely with the steam running alongside it. We even had the luck to watch a black bear cross through the backyard one morning! Would absolutely stay here again!

My husband and I stayed here for one night for a weekend trip to the national park and wish we could’ve stayed a bit longer! It was a cute little home. We originally were going to bring our pup and know he would’ve loved it too. If we come back to visit the park we will definitely be coming here!
