Perfect getaway for Spring Break

Two families stayed (10 total)! The house was perfect for all of us to have our own space and space to come together! We loved sitting at the large table playing games and working on puzzles. Also loved gaming/pool downstairs and playing basketball with some neighbors. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and even got to enjoy a thunderstorm one night. Weather was perfect, so we did a lot of exploring. Went to the Waterpark (recommend getting there about an hour before it opens to get in line and get some seats). Spent the day there, which was a lot of fun!The recommendations from Will were spot on. We went to the White Oak Vineyard & Lavendar Farm which was perfect for all of us! Kids pet the animals and played (ages 14,14,12,12,10,9). Luray Caverns is a must see, it’s about an hour to walk through and I, personally, could have stayed all day checking it out. Absolutely breathtaking. Also-don’t skip going into town and checking out the Arcade! Loved it there!!! Also enjoyed breakfast at The Little Grill. Put on your hiking boots and go explore the mountains. We found a bunch of geocaches!! Will was easy to reach out to and responded quickly. We will definitely be back!

Disapointed

Pros - good layout, nice decor, nice refrigerator and washer and dryer, bed were comfortable.Cons - porch was falling apart rot and ripped screen, grill was very dirty as were the vents in the home, the range/oven was disgusting,dishwasher needs to be replaced, very few pots and pans, wooden furniture was marked up and upholstered furniture was worn and soiled. It snowed while we were there, and no one removed the snow - there was no shovel for us to do it ourselves. One of our group slipped and fell on the walk way to the house. This could be a very nice house with some work.

PERFECT TRIP

The house was perfect to accommodate everyone. It was very roomy and had a great balance of common spaces to bedrooms. The location was beautiful and I am so glad we lucked out with beautiful weather to make full use of the amenities. The kitchen is adequately stocked and we truly enjoyed the stay overall. The only thing to note is that there was a bit of wear and tear on the property. The only place this was evident was the back porch. some screens were saggy/torn. this really wasn't an issue and the property was pleasant nonetheless. Thanks for a great trip!

The area is beautiful. Sadly it rained the entire time but we were still able to find things to do. Hiking in the park. The wildlife all around us was nice to see. The owner was very nice to work with.

Quiet neighborhood near all the amenities of resort

Very cute, well decorated spacious house! The floorplan worked well for our large family gathering. The downstairs gave the kiddos a great space to play video games and other games while those who didn’t want all the noise could still gather upstairs in the cozy living room or enjoy the hot tub on the deck. Will was very responsive and checked in to make sure our stay was going well. Bonus to have washer/dryer to launder towels after visiting the pools and WaterPark. We would definitely stay there again!

Nice property for family

Travelled with family (8 total) and this location had plenty of room. Great amenities, amazing communication from owner and a good spot for anyone looking to do some hiking in the Shenandoah. Grocery store was a mere 20 minutes away. Location was quiet and comfortable on sunny and rainy days. We would definitely stay here again.
