Less than 2 hours from DC, A true mountain escape with modern amenities including a hot tub and fire pit. Rusty's Retreat offers a quiet and relaxing atmosphere to help you decompress from the everyday stresses of life. Relax in the mornings with a cup of coffee on the deck and enjoy the beautiful view. Relax in the hot tub or have fun roasting marshmallows over the fire pit with friends and family.
Rustyâs retreat cabin overall was a cozy experience. Some things to point out:As we arrived we noticed the patio wasnât very clean and that the hot tub was filled with dirty yellow water. This however was addressed by our great host Anthony. He immediately contacted someone to come out to clean the hot tub and fill it with new water. He felt so bad with our experience that he also partially refunded us. His communication was excellent and we are very grateful for him.The outdoor sight is gorgeous and you are surrounded by lots of tall trees. The campfire pit was a very nice edition and we used it everyday. It was nice grilling on the patio too. The cabin indoors was also very comfortable as well. We recommend staying here and again are grateful for our host Anthony being so attentive.
This gorgeous little cabin was absolutely perfect for our short getaway! It's a quick (and lovely) drive to Shenandoah National Park and other attractions (highly recommend Old Hill Cider close by). Would absolutely stay here again.
PS - Keep an eye out for the local deer...they are not afraid of people!
We enjoyed this remote stay near New Market. We used it as our base station for hikes at Shenandoah and local historic battlefield visits. The hot tub was a nice bonus after a long day of hiking.
Great cabin that over and over again exceeded our expectations. Perfectly remote getaway to relax and enjoy ourselves. Driveable to many things to do if you like small towns, caves, and hiking!
Our stay at Anthony's cabin was a tale of two stays. There were some significant positives, but there was a glaring feeling that the property has been neglected over the last few years.Positives:Space is nice and cozy.Beds were nice and comfortable.Kitchen is well appointed.The fire pit.Deck is tranquil with a nice view down into the woods.Relaxing sound of a running stream down below the cabin.Location is is private and peaceful.Owner communication was fast.Negatives:Property exterior and the hot tub are in disrepair and need attention.Hot tub was unusable (badly damaged/worn cover and water was dirty. NOTE: Owner said he is ordering a new cover this week.Through no fault of the property owner, a limb fell and took out the lighting around the fire pit.No exterior lights worked.Coffee pot did not work.Left casement window cannot be used (needs repaired)Hair in the bath tub (not cleaned?).Water has sediment in it, so bring your own drinking water. Bring your own paper towels and septic safe toilet paper.The deck is nice, but the cleaning crew left trash in the can on the deck. It was probably raccoons that got into the garbage can and dragged trash all over the deck and down into the woods. The cushions for the chairs were very dirty.Overall, we made the best of it and had fun, but it definitely was not what we booked based on the online pictures. This could be a fantastic property, but it needs some attention. Hopeful the owner will address the issues.
We loved our stay at Rustyâs retreat. We felt out of the way enough to disconnect and enjoy the peace of the mountains. We visited Shenandoah National Park and loved out stay. Thank you for sharing your home!
We had a very pleasant stay at Rusty's Retreat. It's a great place to relax for a few days with a small family or group and the family dog. The hot tub and outdoor firepit were particularly fun. When we had questions, host Tony always answered very promptly. Thanks again!
This place was really nice, everything was clean and accessible, communication was really good and the stores were within a 10-15 minute drive. Will definitely be renting this place again for a relaxing getaway. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.
Itâs so cozy! Perfect place for a long weekend get away (or extended stay) to enjoy the peace of being in the mountains. House was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. About a 45 minute drive to the nearest NP entrance but lots of nice views in town and a scenic drive made it a great spot.
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Rustyâs! Beautiful area, gorgeous view, great location & even better local events/things to do.
We swapped our annual beach camping trip this year for the cabin & I think this will be our new annual trip!
The owners were amazing, communicative & helpful with any of my questions!
Roads will test you but it felt like living in Germany again-loved it!
Cottage was very clean and comfortable as well as private. It was great for a weekend away. The host was very quick with responding. Even with the storms, the internet still ran great.
Highly recommend and will be back!
We are from the northern Virginia area and we really needed a small little getaway in the mountains away from the hustle and bustle. This was a perfect location for our family. The host is very responsive, helpful, and thoughtful. Thank you for having us.
