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!

Shenandoah Quick Weekend Trip!

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!

Brook House

Very clean, great yard for the dogs, and a gurgling brook along one side of the property. Outside there are three different areas with chairs and fire pits. It looks like Dana is a gardener and we look forward to returning in the spring to check it out. It was located only a mile from my daughter's house and so convenient.

Spent two nights here so we could explore the Park. The house had everything we needed. Wish the master bed was a queen or king. The creek gives great ambiance to the property. Real plus was allowing us to bring pets who throughly enjoyed their hikes in the NP!

Nice place by creek

The house was dated but well supplied. It was comfortable and we loved to sit by the creek with the fall leaves. Only couple minor issues. The bed squeaked and the shower had lower water pressure. Other than that very nice house and close access to the national park.

Well equipped, great location and quiet

Just right for our needs. The house was situated on a rushing creek and close to all the places we wanted to visit in Shenandoah National Park. Loved sitting on the parch and reading in the evening and sitting by the creek for that first morning cup of coffee. Beds were comfortable. Just what we needed.

Great location right beside a river and a short drive to Shenandoah National Park. My daughter and I stayed to go hiking in the park and this was perfect. A little hard to find the first time in the dark, but the house is warm and inviting and very comfortable with everything we needed.
