Scenic mountain getaway with a firepit and amazing views of mountains and horses
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway with beautiful mountain views. Enjoy watching the horses framed by scenic mountains from this private mountain home located only 13 miles from the Shenandoah National Park Swift Run Gap entrance. The front porch with rocking chairs, the deck with a barbecue, and the large yard with a stone firepit makes the outdoor enjoyment even better. Scheduled horse brushing and feeding is available for a fee. The road up to the house is a gravel winding mountain road. If there is snow you will need 4-wheel drive. We have fast fiber optic internet with a smart tv.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property at the top of the mountain, it was so peaceful and beautiful. We loved (and I mean it) the road up to the house. And is really close to Shenandoah National Park. Definitely a place we would love to visit again!
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay here, and it was exactly what we had expected and needed. It was close enough to Shenandoah to go hiking for the day, and the views even just outside the house were beautiful.
Had a great stay at this property! Plenty of comforts to make it a home away from home. A full kitchen with utensils, pots, and pans. Grill and fire pit if the weather cooperates. Sunrise and sunset from the property are lovely and coming up over the hill on the driveway was always charming.
Place is as advertised, well off the beaten path and makes for a nice get away. Reasonable drive to great hiking as well as a few breweries and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay.
The photos on line do not do this property justice. The view of the mountains during the day and the stars at night is spectacular. The cottage and grounds were clean and well kept. Bedrooms were quite spacious. Perfect location for a relaxing stay and exploring the Shenandoahs. The mountain road to access the cabin may be challenging for smaller cars. 4X4 probably preferred for inexperienced drivers. Overall, highly recommended.
Good launching point for trips to Shenandoah. Cabin was clean and as described. Host was helpful and responsive. Would definitely recommend and will book again if and when weâre back in the area.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay immensely.
We spent the days visiting the local wineries and the evenings relaxing in front of the huge firepit gazing at the stars. The mountain views and fall foliage were spectacular. The check-in process was smooth and Brian quickly responded to any questions. Cant wait to return again in the future!
We had a great stay!
The view was spectacular and seeing the horses with our 2 year old was a hit. The cabin was clean, spacious and adequately stocked with kitchen supplies. The drive was easy and it was close to Shenandoah National Park. We will definitely stay again if weâre in the area!
The road leading up to the house is mostly a dirt road, sometimes steep, but our truck made it up just fine in 2 wheel drive. The house is situated on top of the mountain with a glorious view out front! Plenty of space in the yard if you had kids who wanted to run around. The front porch is great for sitting and taking in the view. The house itself has everything necessary for a pleasant stay - TV, kitchen, couch, nice beds, great hot water. I was delighted with the whole experience and hope to stay there again.
My husband and I had gone to the area to hike old rag to attend a wedding nearby. This perfect little cabin was right between old rag and Lydia Mountain Lodge. It was clean. The view was beautiful. And the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked And coffee on the porch in the mornings was perfect.
Beautiful, clean and spacious house with a stunning mountain view. Plentiful amenities. My only complaint is that is was a tad hard to get to, but overall a wonderful experience.
Very clean property. All rooms suited just what we needed. We used the home as a place to come back to at the end of the day spent fishing. Everything we needed was there. Coffee pot, hot shower, comfortable beds, and some space to stretch out.
We had a great weekend in this pretty little wooden house, nestled in the forest, on top of a hill. The house is comfortable, with all amenities. The view of the landscape is very beautiful. The entrance to Shenandoah Park is a 20 minute drive away. It is definitely a very good address in the area !
It had everything we needed. We did manage to get a little bit of a signal but be prepared with some downloaded stuff. It was cool to wake up and look out and see horses out the window.
The stay at Brian's place is worth the drive up the dirt road to get there.
I am glad we got there the first day before dark.
The property and house were a pleasant surprise, given the location. We had everything we needed to cook meals there and have restful sleeps.
We hiked Rose River Loop trail and White Oak Lower Falls trail on Brian's suggestion. Both reasonable driving distance and both great ways to experience Shenandoah.
We loved everything about our stay. Itâs a wonderful property and the best view on the mountain. When you are driving up through the woods and then everything just opens up when you get to the property, itâs just gorgeous. My kids loved the horses and the fire pit for smores. They loved running around exploring outside. It was so peaceful. Stargazing was amazing at night. The house was perfect for us. Everything was super clean and we felt very comfortable. We definitely are going to try to come back again. Hopefully in the fall.
This was a lovely, quiet place to get away for a few nights. There are neighbors a few hundred yards away but from the front porch it's easy to see nothing but the surrounding woods and a nice view of the mountainside. The home is well-stocked including pots, pans, and knives in the kitchen, a washer and dryer, heating and cooling, and a stack of firewood. The road leading up to the property is steep and gravelly which may be tough if it's icy or snowy.
The views, the quiet, and the privacy of this beautiful location makes this getaway amazing for those who desire peace and quiet while connecting with the beauty of nature.
