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.

Family Vacation

Property was situated in a lovely location, the views were spectacular. The house was clean and well appointed. However, the exhaust fan was not working for the stove/grill which limited our cooking options. Also we experienced issues with the hot tub not heating and the pool needing a proper cleaning. But through all this the property manager was easily accessible and quick to respond. We had a semi large group, 6 adults and 3 children ages 3 year old twins and a 9 year old. The home had plenty of space for us to be together without feeling crammed on top of each other. The children really enjoyed the outdoor space. Plenty of room to run around with their outdoor games.Overall it was a nice experience, would highly recommend.

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.

Gorgeous home & property

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!

Lots of space

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!

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 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!

Shenandoah National Park Weekend

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.

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.

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.

Family Vacation in the Valley

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.

The property did NOT disappoint!

I mean all I can say is wow! We absolutely loved the house and location. Everything was wonderful! The views were like a painting, we had to keep pinching ourselves to make sure we weren’t dreaming. The kids loved watching all the animals on the farm and the pool. We even took them to the children's museum in Harrisonburg. The house location was perfect, far enough away from the city noise but close enough to take a short trip if you wanted to do activities.
