Work trip
This was a work trip for myself and my crew of 2. This house was way beyond expectations! If more stars could be given, I would. House was very clean and kitchen exceptionally stocked with full set of pots and pans, and dinner ware for at least 8 people. Location is great as it is a half mile from downtown Staunton. This neighborhood is very walk-able and quiet. I will definately stay here again.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
This property is AMAZING. The house is beautiful and spacious. The location is phenomenal. It is close enough to downtown Staunton to make for an easy walk but still feel secluded and removed. The beds are deliciously comfortable and it has all the amenities you could ask for. I would definitely stay here again.

Historical Charmer
From the moment we arrived, we loved this place. Lots of space to spread out and three en-suites! The kitchen was a joy to use and had everything needed for family dinners for four. Restored extremely well … no wonder this place won an award. The only drawback was the parking … a Tahoe takes up pretty much the whole space, although we managed to squeeze in a small VW. We would definitely stay here again. ❤️

Wonderful Stay!
Newtown Retreat was a perfect place for our short getaway in Staunton. Appreciated the clean and fresh interior, comfortable beds, black out curtains, ample parking off of the street, and quick and courteous responses from our host. Wonderful stay!

Beautiful stay!
We had a great visit - Chris was an excellent host who always responded promptly. The home is clean and a close walk to everything in downtown Staunton and is a nice drive to hikes in the area and Shenandoah NP. I hope to be able to visit again soon, and would definitely want to stay here again.

Successful birthday weekend!
Each year we take our mom on a girls weekend to celebrate her birthday. We have stayed in various VRBO listings over the years, and the Newton Retreat has by far been our favorite. Right from booking, the property manager was accessible for any questions we had about our upcoming stay. The communication continued throughout our weekend stay. The place was beautifully decorated and clean. We were comfortable all weekend and enjoyed relaxing evenings at the house after walking around historic downtown Staunton. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend Newton Retreat to anyone looking for a weekend stay that felt like “home.”
