This property was exactly as depicted. The king size bed was comfortable. The television was easy to control and we were able to watch baseball and our football team. We spent a lot of time at Shenandoah National Park. The house was also located within a half mile of Catherine’s Furnace in George Washington National Park. Good hiking! The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The backyard was large and fenced. We were comfortable. We appreciated the To Do book the hosts had put together. The food recommendations were spot on.

Loved that we could take our dog with us,and with the fenced in yard, it was perfect. The hot tub was nice to relax in. The property is very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts couldn't have been nicer, with many of the starting essentials like toilet paper and paper towels provided. They even provided essentials for our pooch! Thank you so much - we loved Skyline Drive!

Overall fabulous stay! Fully furnished Cabin with fenced in backyard for our dogs to play in. Conveniently located close to Luray, NC and local attractions like Luray Caverns and Antique Car Museum. Just off the beaten path for privacy with a few neighbors all around. Great for two couples to get away for a long weekend!

Stress fred
The cabin and grounds were extremely neat and clean. Host tried to think of everything imaginable to make your stay comfortable. Was very happy to see the backyard so closely fenced in. I have little dogs and was afraid they could escape, but it was very secure. Neighbors are a lot closer than I anticipated but it wasn’t a problem. Lots of loose dogs walking around this relatively rural neighborhood. that was my only knock on the property. Recommended it to my daughter for the fall.

One of my best ever VRBO experiences! This is a lovely, well-designed house with top-notch kitchen appliances, nice porch & deck, gas grill & hot tub. We were two older couples getting together and going to see the sights in Shenandoah National Park. For hikers, there's an entrance to George Washington National Forest just a few yards from the house. The hosts were gracious, helpful and very responsive. Highly recommend this VRBO!
