Adorable Cabin at Trout-Stocked Paddy Run Surrounded by GWNF and Hiking Trails

Welcome to the Dudley at Half Moon. The name reflects our grandfather who built the cabin and aptly describes the face of Half Moon Mountain seen from the property. View our companion cabin the Chester at Half Moon (an adjoining tract) or utilize both for two family vacations!

This updated two story modest cabin is perfect for your getaway! The cabin features an open floor plan and is perfect for a couple's romantic weekend, a group of friends, or for family gatherings! The 58 acre grounds offer you plenty of space to unplug and enjoy a cabin version of "glamping".

Our Vision:

Stop at Strasburg Food Lion or Woodbine Farm Market for groceries on the way in and cook nice dinners in a fully equipped kitchen. We provide spices and some condiments so you don't have to. Enjoy dinner on the covered front porch. Make homemade pasta with the pasta maker. Or unwind with a glass of wine (a complimentary bottle is provided) in the outdoor Pavilion.

The next morning, relax with french press coffee or expresso (we provide!) on the front porch at sun up and watch the deer graze after a sound night of sleep in our comfortable and luxurious beds. You'll never get a better night's sleep. Or walk the property as the sun is coming up - it truly is stunning.

Put dinner in the crockpot and spend the day at a local winery or enjoy nearby hiking (you can throw a rock to the GWNF). Vance's Cove is a short walk away. Paddy Run (a stocked trout stream - please check the VDWR website) flows through the 175 acre property - bring fish home for dinner on the grill. Visit Shenandoah National Park or the Archery Camp not far away.

After dinner, lie around in the evening in our fully reclining seating to watch movies or play games on the card table. Cable TV allows access to a full selection of channels and to keep up with the world - although you won't want to. A pool/ping pong table provides hours of fun for the competitive. Or settle in with a good read from our stocked book case.

Walk the paths for a gorgeous view of Half Moon; first thing in the morning with fog rolling off the fields (coffee in hand) is the MOST spectacular.

Nature and wildlife are all around. Listen to the whippoorwills call at night, or view the brightly lit stars. Eagles, hawks and bluebirds to name a few. Fishers (a mustelid mammal) and turkeys add to the list of wildlife not seen in the city!

The water sometimes (rarely) has a sulfuric smell and although treated, we personally prefer not to drink for coffee, drinking, etc.... Please be prepared to bring water and paper products you will need- we do share what we have but only in base amounts. Alternately, feel free to leave yours behind.

Please know we are a family who enjoys sharing our property with you and ask you return the property to us in the same condition as it was provided. We ask you remove your own garbage. Because this ask has not always been respected, we do ask for a trash removal fee if you do not. We also ask please do not invite guests or bring pets if not included in the reservation. Due to the remote location, we do have security on the exterior of the home to monitor the driveways

The property is gorgeous and quiet so allow the stresses of the city to fall away. You will hate to leave and want to return soon - just 1 hour from Northern Virginia!

We brought 3 generations of family from Colorado ages 6 to 88 to enjoy this property and had the best time! House was cozy comfortable and spacious. Outdoor space offered coverage from the rain we encounter the first 3 days of our visit and the host was superb. Will definitely be returning again when we return to VA to visit extended family.

Another great stay in Star Tannery. Small upgrades to WiFi and the grill enhanced the experience. We got a special delivery of cinnamon rolls that were a hit with the whole family. This is our yearly destination when we want to get away and go to the mountains.

This place is magical, and just what the doctor ordered. Don’t hesitate if you are deciding on coming here, I can’t recommend it enough. It has everything you need, including plenty of space to spread out, both inside and out. And also a great place to take dogs - ours loved it! It’s definitely one of the top places I’ve booked.
