Expansive View Of The Blue Ridge Mountains, The Valley And The Shenandoah River

Our home sits on 43 acres and has 77 windows for you to witness the breathtaking views of the Shenandoah Valley, enjoy the expansive view of Massanutten, the Shenandoah River and the Blue Ridge Mountains! The yard is equipped with a gunite pool and hot tub* plus horses and cows grazing in the pasture. There are four levels of living space - the main floor, 2nd floor, walk out finished basement and a beautiful open staircase that leads to the huge attic that can sleep extra! Our home has 5 Bedrooms, 3.5 bath, Large Kitchen with 48” Viking stove, Dining area, Large Den w/ Gorgeous Stone Fire Place, Parlor with a Piano & 5 porches! The first floor and basement have 10' ceilings and the 2nd floor has 9' ceilings.
We moved to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley and built this home to raise our children. We designed it so that all of our family and friends could come and visit any time and stay with us.
It's such a peaceful, private place to take in the beautiful scenery and spend time with your family & friends. The spacious living areas give you space to gather all together or find a quiet room to read a book and relax. The outdoors come to life here while walking down the country road behind our home along the Shenandoah River or the country road in front of our home viewing the mountains and pastures. You can relax by the pool and hot tub or sit out on one of our 5 porches/decks. Wherever you sit or look there is an abundance of beauty. We love to watch the moon come over the mountains or the sun set behind them. Every day is a different picture to see - the foliage in the fall, the clouds against the mountains, the stars like you've never seen them before but best of all the laughter and joy when family and friends are gathered!
Anyone who visits or stays can't wait to come back. We have been told it's like a slice of heaven, a retreat, a place you never want to leave.
It is conveniently located to everything! We are 1 mile from Massanutten Resort (water park, golfing, horseback riding, miniature golf, skiing, tubing, snowboarding, ice skating), 10 minutes from James Madison University, 10 minutes from Harrisonburg, 15 minutes from The Shenandoah National Park (great hiking trails) , 40 minutes from Charlottesville (UVA), 25 minutes from Luray caverns & 35 minutes from Stuanton (Black Friar Theater). Along with all those wonderful options there is canoeing, river tubing, winery's, antiquing, Fishing, hunting (depending on the season), biking, etc...

*The hot tub and pool are seasonal. It is opened April thru September and weather permitted we try to extend that period of time.

Beautiful Property
This was our second year back to this property. It was beautiful, especially during the peak fall foliage. The house was clean and there were tons of sleeping options on all floors of the house. The property owner had great communication throughout the visit. Great common areas for friends to catch up. We hope to come back next year!

Beautiful home and view
There were 11 of us who stayed in the home and we all had our own beds which was nice! The view was beautiful and the pool and hot tub were also very nice! We loved that we could all fit at the table for meals and fit in the family room to play games and watch movies. We wanted a very low key weekend and that is exactly what we got!

Beautiful location with breathtaking views
Our family of 18 came from 4 diff states to vacation here. We chose this location because of the privacy. The things we enjoyed were the pool, the sunrise over the mountain every morning, enough seating in the kitchen for all of us at mealtime and enough space around the land itself that if you wanted to spend some time alone there was space to do so. A couple of things I would mention to other guests is that there are no blinds in the bedrooms which led to the bright light of the close town or the moon and def the sunrise- you could never really sleep in. The beds in all the room are very firm and 90% of our family agreed too uncomfortable to get a good night sleep on. Since the listing says a 48in Viking stove with griddle, it stunk that it was broken and not useable.(2 of our guests were chefs). The listing says basketball hoop (we had 7 teenagers) and it stunk that it could not be adjusted to go up and down and the backboard was broken. The listing mentions and shows a sand volleyball court but it is all grass and is also the area they saddle the horses, so even if we wanted to play on grass there was so much horse poop in that area. The listing mentions 5 porches- which are amazing!..esp the porch on the upstairs bedroom where you can see the sunrise. Just wish on that porch and the other bedroom porch there was even 2 chairs so it could be used other than just standing. Overall, this is a great place and Debbie, the project manager was always responsive to our needs

A great house !
The house, the views, the pool, the kitchen-First class ! Well kept property except for one thing-the volley ball court. Website shows a great looking sand filled court but it's all overgrown with grass and weeds. We have a couple of volley ballers in our family who were a bit disappointed. However that was a minor annoyance when you consider everything else the house has to offer. One of the best equipped kitchens we've ever seen in our 19 years of family vacations. Horses and steers roam off property and those mountain views are really fabulous. We especially liked all of the family photos on the walls in various rooms. Obviously there are many great family memories associated with this property. So, as long as you're not into volleyball, you'll just love this place. A definite thumbs up !

Comfortable beautiful house
We were a group of 4 families with kids ages ranging from 3-10. We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Sometimes the water pressure in the bathrooms gets low due to multiple people showering together at the same time in different bathrooms. Fully stocked kitchen, outdoor barbecue range, pool and hot tub are all well taken off and we enjoyed our stay here.

Fabulous trip with our large group
We had over 20 people stay comfortably at this amazing country home. Panoramic views across the valley, although we were here for the skiing (only 8 minutes away) we wished for summer to enjoy the pool and volleyball court! The house itself is incredible, beautiful construction with hardwood floors and large bedrooms… and a kitchen fit for a master chef with a Vulcan range and ovens! Great for large families and kids. Truly a large family home with space to spread out and a basement for games and play.

Panoramic Blue Ridge Views
We stayed at this beautiful home with a couple of other families. We all went to JMU years (ok decades) ago and met up to spend NYE together. The panoramic views from most windows of this home are breathtaking. There is plenty of space for multiple families. We took advantage of the proximity to Massanutten Resort and went skiing/snowboarding. We also went to watch a JMU basketball game. The kids enjoyed seeing the horses and cows on the property. The property owners and manager were very prompt with communication. We had a great stay!

A perfect Thanksgiving!
We - meaning all 23 of us for dinner 17 for 4 nights - had a perfect Thanksgiving in the very large and cozy, family friendly home. The house is beautiful and comfortable with gorgeous views outside all windows of the Shenandoah Valley. There are horses and long horned cattle! The kitchen handled the crowd well, although we did need to bring some extra big pans. A large family room with a stone fireplace that spanned an entire wall was perfect for the entire group to relax and enjoy. We had gorgeous walks right outside the door. The host made herself available to us when, for example, our ambitious cooking set off the fire alarms, and she was as warm and welcoming as her home. Altogether, a perfect Thanksgiving in a truly lovely home.

Even better than the pictures! A perfect mountain getaway.
We used this property for a 10-year college reunion trip with friends and their families/children. When we arrived, the property was even more breathtaking than the pictures! Absolutely incredible and the house had everything our large crew could have dreamed of to help make our stay enjoyable, relaxing, and comfortable. We loved the fire pit, outdoor decks, space for kids to run around and play, and many group spaces for people to hang out and enjoy each other's company. The bedrooms were SO spacious for each little family to feel comfortable and well-rested. Additionally, the property owner and property manager were absolutely amazing in answering all of our questions ahead of time and during our stay. Many families commented that they want to come back again! The horses on property were a highlight for of all of the children and they loved getting to ride their bikes and scooters around the long, paved driveway.

Shenandoah getaway
The house and grounds are expansive and comfortable. The pool and hot tub were major contributors to the quality of our stay in late July. Bedroom on the top floor could have been cooler, but was OK with fans. Kitchen was well supplied and spacious. Panoramic views from every room. Owner made great suggestions for dining and recreation, as well as a great farmer's market in Harrisonburg.

Incredible views from a perfect house
This was our second time spending a week at this home and it gets better each year. The pool is the central point for my grandchildren and many an hour was enjoyed there. But the views and peacefulness of the Shenandoah valley were amazing. The location is great for alternate activities at Massanutten Resort where we did summer tubing and the town of Shenandoah where we did river tubing. Mary and Debbie were quick to respond to questions or any issues that came up (there were none) You won't be disappointed.

Our family of 14 had an awesome vacation last week. The surrounding mountains were beautiful. The well loved house was plenty of space for all of us. We enjoyed the pool and playing various ball games in the huge yard. Even though the weather turned cold and rainy, the family style kitchen area became the place of games, crafts and baking cookies. Hope to return in the future.

A little slice of heaven..
We had a group of about 16, ranging from a couple of our teenagers to 50. The house accommodated everyone nicely! We made use of the grill and firepit and had many laughs over coffee on the back deck. We were in town for a JMU football game and while this was out of the hustle and bustle of homecoming weekend crowds, it was super convenient to the school. We loved the space in the house as everyone had an area to suite them and their activities. It was quite accommodating of a large group! The owners were wonderful to work with and happily complied to a couple of requests that we made. We would absolutely return for another friends weekend! We will always remember our trip together here, as it was a wonderful one that also included seeing “our” JMU player make a touchdown! Much Love, -#44’s Biggest Fans
