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.

Shenandoah Holla

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 little cottage

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.

This was an oasis in the middle of a busy weekend. The creek is awesome. Slept with the windows open to the sound of flowing water. House was clean and comfortable with all the amenities….even coffee ! 10/10. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

Perfect little house

This was the perfect house to stay in while visiting Shenandoah National Park. Only a short drive from one of the entrances, it made our day trips to the park much more manageable (with a baby and two dogs!). Loved the trees and the stream behind the house. Also, we forgot a few things after we left and were told immediately by the host, who offered to ship them for us. SO kind and appreciated. Overall, 5 stars. Thanks for a wonderful visit to your beautiful state. Will recommend to others.

Just what we needed

This was the vacation we needed and in the exact place we needed to reset our hearts and minds. The cabin is beautiful inside and out. The location is perfect. The river coming down through the rocks is relaxing. Our dog and I would sit on the porch every morning for a few hours and just kick back and enjoy the sounds. One word of caution... do NOT take a right out of the driveway. The road turns to a gravel, one lane road almost immediately. It is beautiful but gets interesting when you meet a very large truck. We plan on staying here again... and very soon.

Visit to Shenandoah

We chose this location because it was midway between the park and we spent one day exploring the south side of Shenandoah National Park and the next day exploring the north. The house was a quiet getaway with a beautiful stream running right next to it. It was perfect for our little excursion!
