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.

Our large family had a great wekeend stay, celebrating our Christmas! We have done numerous vacations all over and this was our favorite, by far. Huge house, with plenty of rooms to sleep, bathrooms, 360 degree views. We are considering our summer trip here, especially with the pool. here Book

We had almost 20 people at the house and there was plenty of room for sleeping, eating and enjoying the view. The pool and hot tub were amazing, the kitchen had everything we needed and they even left us a bundle of wood for the fire pit. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautifully situated on land with horses, cattle with the mountains in the distance. A winery was 6 minutes away…this was a spacious, lovely HOME. I felt invited in, I would come again. The owner as well as the property manager were wonderful about any communication we needed to have as well. Loved it!

We had 16 people in our group. The youngest was 12 yo. We had enough space for everyone to spread out and be comfortable and enough space for us to all gather for meals and games. We enjoyed the mountain views and watching the horses. The house could use a decor refresh but overall it was a great stay!

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!

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!

The most outstanding feature of this property is the view of mountains, valleys and beautiful rural scenes. The house is large with room for more than our 8 adults and 4 tweenagers.

Great house, big enough for extended family, the views are to die for, horses out the back yard, great kitchen for cooking for a big family, perfect place to stay for our daughter’s graduation weekend from JMU. The host was great to communicate with and the house manager was available for any of our needs during our stay. Highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful time at the house. It was beautiful, spacious, well equipped and very clean. Loved the views and grounds with animals. Such a relaxing location! Would definitely return and recommend to others.

Our second time staying at this beautiful home with three other families--and it was just as enjoyable as the first. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together in this home and the idyllic location--just a short drive to Shenandoah National Park (Swift Run Entrance)--makes it perfect. We can't wait to return.

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.

What better month to see the leaves changing! Great views and the horses and longhorns were an added bonus! Plenty of room for our family to meet and celebrate! There were 20 of us!

The house and scenery were absolutely beautiful! Disappointed to find the hot tub locked off when we got there, it could have been made clearer in the description that there's an off season. Host and property manager texted us multiple times throughout the stay, so not the most hands-off experience. Had to reach out to the host while we were en route because I hadn't received any check-in instructions, and when I heard back, she mentioned we should be bringing our own paper products. Had to call the property manager to come let us in when we arrived because the door malfunctioned. Despite this, the views and the house certainly made up for the quirks.

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.

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.

From start to finish this trip was EVERYTHING and more that we had hoped for!! This beautiful home was more than enough space for our party of 11 and had something that each person connected to!! Breathtaking views from every room in the house!! Both Mary Beth the owner and Debbie the caretaker of the property were AMAZING!!! We had an amazing time while there and we look forward to the chance to stay there again!! ♥️

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.

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.

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.
