We rented the guest house for a long weekend exploring the National Park and surrounding areas. The farm was bucolic, and the views from this home are gorgeous. The host communicated nicely throughout our stay. Great stay!!!

The location and views of this farmhouse were incredible. We stayed here for a wedding at early mountain vineyard which was a short 15 minute ride down the road. Everything was as listed and had everything we needed for our short weekend. The owners also left a dozen eggs from their farm in the fridge for our arrival which was a thoughtful touch.

This property is adorable, cozy, and comfortable. We stayed for the weekend to celebrate a friend's wedding at Lydia Mountain Lodge, which was a quick 15 min trip. Judy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with, and we really enjoyed our stay. I would 100% recommend this property to others and I hope to be able to visit again in the future!

We loved staying here while in town with family for a wedding. The home was set on a beautiful farm with lovely landscaping and views. We enjoyed the big dining room which featured a huge window overlooking the property. We appreciated the comfortable, clean linens on the beds well as ample, fresh towels. There was plenty of space to spread out an hang with our family. It is an old home which has its quirkiness but also lots of charm. Thanks for the hospitality. We may be back when we return to Virginia.

This was a girls trip with my family. This farm was not only picturesque, but the farm house was fabulous. It is centrally located and easy to find on the map. We went to several places but enjoyed the front porch the most! Thank you Miss Judy for your hospitality. We had a fantastic time!

This is a wonderful property. It was beautiful and Judy, the host, was very accommodating. I initially asked if we could check in early, but then we ended up arriving VERY late. We stayed at the property for my husband's reunion and it suited our purposes beautifully. We ended up inviting some of his classmates for dinner and the home was perfect for grilling up the delicious Black Angus steaks that were raised on the property. The only way our visit could have been better was if we were able to stay longer--we were there for only two nights. It was a peaceful and serene place. We definitely hope to return! Thanks to Judy for a wonderful stay!

5 stars across the board. Judy's property was the perfect home for our girls getaway. Located near the popular Shenandoah National Park and dozens of hiking trails we couldn't have picked a better spot. Judy is a kind and gracious host. And after a long day of travelling, the wine and cheese and homemade banana bread Judy left for us was a welcome sight. The beds and linens are incredibly comfortable. Probably the best sleep I've had in a very long time. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cookware and LOTS of coffee options. This is a stand out property because of its tranquility and serene backdrop. If you are looking for true relaxation and peaceful surroundings look no further. Judy's property has it all. Can't wait to go back.

This is an AMAZING property! The house is beautiful and very well stocked! The beds were so comfortable and we all raved about them! Getting up in the morning, we enjoyed having coffee on the porch and listing to the cows speak to each other. This is a very special piece of property and to have all of the bedrooms and bathrooms were amazing! We had such a wonderful time and look forward to staying again in the future!!
