had a great time fishing and relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings nice little secluded place off the beaten pathwould def recommend and the kitchen is stocked well with different pots and pans
Wonderful property, surrounded by nature. A beautiful escape by the river with a gorgeous view of the hills all around. If you need a getaway in the great outdoors, this is the place for you.
This house was just the coolest with its vintage log cabin vibe, and the gigantic fireplace was such a hit for my husband and I! It was so cozy and warm, and we loved, listening to the rapids right outside the screen door. Chemicals in the hot tub Weâre pretty strong tho.. the steam was actually stinging my eyes and nose. Other than that everything was just perfect.
The cabin was great for a couple. The rustic feel of the cabin, the fireplace, hot tub, and sitting on the deck by the river. Most everything was great, but my only complaint was the quality of the mattress on the bed. It was very soft with a noticeable dip in the middle. As a side sleeper, it was uncomfortable and had to sleep on my back. Otherwise, great place and grear location!
We LOVED staying at this cabin. We live right outside of DC and were looking for a spot to unplug and relax for the weekend. The cabin was just under 2 hours away and it looked perfect online - turns out it was even better than perfect in person! Donna and Brad are lovely people and they were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. The cabin is PERFECT!!! Itâs clean, spacious and in the perfect spot. The porch and deck have amazing views and the property itself is perfectly tucked away so you donât deal with the typical car noises and such. I honestly think weâve found our spot for the years to come and canât wait to go back!
Rules, rules, rules - Beautiful place with too many rules
It's a beautiful place that is wonderfully isolated along a river, but the number and diversity of rules for the cabin are a bit much. While it is certainly the owner's discretion on how to manage their properties, there are literally pages of rules, rules framed on walls, rules on end tables, etc. which took away from some of our enjoyment due to trying to avoid any rule mistakes.
I would suggest it only be rented in fall, summer, or spring. It has an air conditioner in a window and that permits very cold air into the living area. But it is adorable.
Based on all the warnings framed around the house people in the past must have been destructive to the place. Unfortunately, it is like the grandmother whose nickname is no-no âdonât touch anythingâ. The cabin itself is fantastic and for a couple with no dogs would be great. We had a 2 day and just left after the first as the place is nice but no way we could guarantee no dog hair.
Drive to the cabin and surrounding area is beautiful. Upon arrival, found bed had no sheets and bathroom had no towels which I paid extra for. Expressed to owner these werenât provided, she brought two towels for two people for a 5 day stayâŠtold us if we need more, we can purchase at Walmart. Donât count on the coin laundryâŠthatâs in town, not on premises which is listed in rental amenities. Deck has areas of severe rotâŠwatch where you stepâŠ.especially around the hot tub. Pet friendly..? No pets allowed on furniture! Make sure theyâre bathed and brushed before you get there, and make sure you leave no dog hair behindâŠyou will be charged extra for cleaning if there isâŠthat is stated in the rule book, which is a good read. The cabin itself is beautiful. It would have been nice if the outside of the deck and property were cleaned up. Be aware that the property owners live right next door. The worst thing was on the last day, we got up early to dispose of our trash as per the rulesâŠwe were gone for 20 minutes to come back to find that the owner was inside the cabin⊠with our belongings. We took care of the trash at 8 am, check out is 11 am. That is just wrong and made us feel very violated!
A beautiful location and atmosphere! If you're looking for a place to relax and unwind this is the PERFECT spot! The cabin is cozy, warm and inviting and the front decks overlooking the running river are peaceful and relaxing! I highly recommend and I will definitely will be back for another stay!!
Great setting. PEACEFUL. Very quaint cabin great for relaxing and getting away from city life. Easy commute from Baltimore. ( I drive a lot so travel does not affect me) Great vineyards close by. Next visit I would bring food to cook on grill or at cabin to enhance the getting away part
The cabin was exactly as described/pictured. Perfect location. Only issue, which wasn't too bad was no internet and the TV was broken during our stay. Not a big deal, but I had planned to do a little work while there. Other than that, A LOT of rules, posted in all CAPS with !!!!!. A little much. Nicer more friendly ways of getting your information across. I felt like I was stepping on eggshells with everything I touched or opened. If none of that bothers you, it really was a lovely weekend there with my mom. Great memories were made!
the cabin was wonderful we really enjoyed our stay and will be back again. You should know I asked my girl friend Cheryl to marry me down on the deck by the river it was the perfect place. The river and mountains were so beautiful and it was very peaceful. Thank You Nelson Skogland.
Amazing location right on the river! Cabin was the perfect size for two, and our little pup! So peaceful to hear the river as we fell asleep, and so relaxing to pass the time on the deck overlooking the water. We had a lovely time!
We love old world cabins and history so we had this cabin built in 2007 out of 200-300 year old logs and antique barn wood trim. It is truly a work of art. It's where the historic old world beauty meets the modern day amenities. Just perfect.
The very large fireplace mimics the ones that were built in the 1700s that were used for everything from heat to cooking.
This cabin is not just a lodging accommodation, its an experience. It is really authentic with hand made kitchen cabinets. Even the bathroom door is handmade. The majority of this cabin is hand made down to the hand-hewn logs. However it is wonderful to have the modern amenities such as the skylights bringing in natural light, central heat and AC, beautiful chandeliers with dimmers., beautiful stone bathroom with shower, etc. And of course, it's on the Shenandoah River with gorgeous views and easy access into the river.
Antique logs, chinking, country porch, dock on river, skylights, location excellent, huge stone wood burning fireplace. The list goes on and on. It's furnished with cool antiques. Perfect place to fall in love with history and nature again or just have a great time hiking and playing in the river.
