Was the perfect place to stay with family. The best part was the fire pit and hot tub. No tv was what my family needed and we didn't know it. I would absolutely stay again

Well maintained home- clean and comfortable beds. Host was wonderful and helpful when needed. Worked great for us as a home base for JMU parents' weekend. Only cons for some people may be that it is on a gravel road and there is no TV.

Hillside Hideaway truly is a hidden gem! It was the perfect place for rest and relaxation after hiking in Shenandoah. The location is peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful back deck and hot tub for sore muscles. Inside is cozy, clean, and comfortable; a home away from home. My daughter and I loved our stay!

Beautiful property that was fully equipped with everything you could need. Hot tub was a great perk after long days of hiking, as well the beautiful outdoor area with fire pit and hanging lights.

We enjoyed this place so much! It was nice and clean and homey and very family friendly. We loved the decorating inside and the beautiful outdoor backyard and porch made the whole space very inviting and relaxing. From the backyard swing for our grandchildren, to the s'more ingredients in the kitchen, Rhonda did a wonderful job in adding the perfect details to make our stay so enjoyable. Great place to stay!

This little house is a great option if you want something a bit secluded, but not too far from restaurants, stores etc in McGaheysville and Elkton. Also convenient to recreation opportunities of the SNP and Shenandoah River. Well kept property and nice amenities - would definitely consider coming back.

Hillside hideaway was perfect! It’s in a great location to get into Shenandoah via the Swift Run entrance. Rhonda was an amazing host. Very attentive and responded to messages within 15 minutes. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to disconnect and relax.

I really appreciate the host working with me on dates and times of arrival. It made our stay so much more smooth. The house was so cute and nice and clean. We loved the smores package the host left for us. The hot tub was a hit as well. It was very close to all the Massenutten resort activities, which made it so convenient. I would love to come back in the future!

This place was a perfect spot for our family to land after our hiking and biking adventures in the Shenandoah National Park and valley area. Everyone loved it! The bunk beds are probably better fit for smaller kids, smaller than our anyway:)

We had a wonderful time celebrating my 30th birthday here. Upon arrival we instantly noted the cleanliness of the property! The fresh coffee beans were a huge plus and the s’mores gift basket was wonderful. The location was perfect as everything we wanted/needed was within 30min. Property owner was very communicative and check in and out was a breeze. All said and done it was a perfect vacation. PS. The mountaintop ranch sunset horseback ride is an absolutely amazing experience

Great little place to stay. We missed the comment about unplugging from the TV as we didnt realize that there was no TV nor Internet until we got there. Luckily there was good cell reception as i did need to take a work meeting.
Once that was over, we did unplug and had a good time. The restaurant recommendations were a nice touch too.

The house was immaculate upon arrival. Very surprising as it is nestled right into the woods so you would expect to be some bugs or dust/dirt from in and out of the doors. But, there was none. I loved the privacy of the location, but it was a short drive to everything. The outdoor space was really nicely set up and the hot tub is a great feature for the relaxing atmosphere we were looking for. Absolutely would recommend and will likely book again!
My ONLY suggestion that would have made our perfect stay a bit better would be if there were a fenced area for the fur babies that tag along. Just so that they can safely enjoy the outdoor space with us without needing a leash.
