We had the best few days during our stay. We loved this little cabin so much. So clean. So open and bright with a great layout. The kitchen was so well equipped and super functional. The king sized bed was so comfortable! Just a short drive to the park entrance. This is the perfect place to relax, bird watch and enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains. Our host was a pleasure to work with, and could not have been nicer!
Wonderful location- secluded and so peaceful! Cabin was perfect for two and so clean ! Thank you Kelly for allowing us to stay at this perfect little getaway! Everything was perfect!
Nestled among the trees, this cabin is everything described and more. Comfortable, peaceful, soul-nourishing. My dog and I took hiking adventures and then had this special gem of a place to come back to for rest and relaxation. Spent as much time out on the deck reading and listening to the birdsong as possible - even during rainstorms the deck was perfect. It was too hot outside for me to want to use the hot tub, but I would definitely avail myself of that amenity in the cooler temps. 100 out of 10!!
The hottest days so we just enjoyed the peaceful solitude. The cabin was clean and everything there working perfectly. Hot tub was amazing and our dog really enjoyed all the new smells & sounds from the deck!We would go again!
Cozy cabin perfect for a romantic getaway. We enjoyed rocking on the porch and soaking in the hot tub. The cabin was clean, bed comfortable, and overall setting was perfect. Kelly was a great host, informative and responsive.
Beautiful cabin! Comfortable. Clean. Next door to Shenandoah National Park. Easy drive to Luray Caverns. We also visited American Civil War sites. If we are ever lucky enough to return to beautiful Virginia, we would definitely stay in this cabin again!
Overall fantastic stay that's just as nice as advertised and in the case of the kitchen and bathroom even better than it looks in the pictures. The only two things not apparent from the listing (at least at the time of writing) is that the cabin is about a mile or so down a gravel road depending which direction you come from (although it should be easily passable in pretty much any vehicle) and the pet fee, which was a bit steep at 100 per pet. Nonetheless, we very much enjoyed our weekend there and exploring the area's wineries and breweries with our dogs!
If you're looking for solitude and privacy, this is your cabin. All the comforts of home and then some. Stayed here in early spring, would love to return in winter and summer.
We've traveled around the U.S. visiting national parks, and I have to say everything about this cabin was the best we've ever experienced. It was comfortable, clean, and "just like home". We had great communications with the owner when we had questions. There was a nice supply of firewood for the fireplace and warm water for the hot tub. Very convenient to the national park and easy drive to communities if you'd prefer to eat out instead of cooking at home. Thanks for the great stay!
Great property, great views, private, clean, easy in and out. Loved it, comfortable king size bed, great hot tub, nice size kitchen area. All around great place!
We enjoyed our stay here. There is a narrow road leading to the cabin but we never encountered another person while driving it. The cabin was beautiful and the host provided ample firewood which was really nice.
First off-Kelly was so available for questions, info and recommendations. Perfect host! The cabin was perfect for a week stay. The hottub was incredible( even though it was July). If youre looking for a very private, cozy, quiet, and romantic getaway; this is your place! 5 stars!!
Perfect spot for peace and serenity, great location
Romance Ridge was absolutely perfect for my husband and I and pup. It is in a very rural setting with plenty of privacy, no noise or light pollution. It's surrounded by beautiful trees. All you can hear are the birds singing and the cicadas. It is 15 minute ride to one of the entrances to the Shenandoah National Park. We drove to Luray several times which is about an hour away but it's a nice drive so we did not mind driving at all. The hot tub was great. Although we only used it once because we got back to the cabin late most nights, we were glad to have had the option to use it. The inside of the cabin is beautuful. I loved the high ceilings and the big windows. If you are a light sleeper and don't like bright lights early in the morning I recommend getting an eye mask. The amount of space was just perfect for my husband and I and 10 lb pups. Kelly was a wonderful host and provided plenty of information regarding the surrounding area and fun things and hikes to check out. We had no issues with anythjng. The whole check in and out process was super easy. We would absolutely rent from Kelly and Bill again. Romance Ridge is a perfect spot for serenity, peace, quiet, tranquility and a place to let go of all the baggage we all carry around when out in the real world and caught up in the daily grind. We recommend highly the Shenandoah River outfitters for a day on the lazy river. Also a must is the Luray Caverns. Hiking in SNP was amazing. So many beautiful summitts.
We are Kelly, William and Trex. We live in Southeast Pennsylvania where we work as a speech therapist, tech support manager, and faithful pooch. We love the outdoors, and have a great appreciation for nature. We love to share the peace, tranquility, and romance of our cabin in the Shenandoah area. We hope you enjoy it and make happy memories for yourselves. Happy Trails, Kelly and William (and Trex too!)
We chose to purchase this property, with hopes that we would relocate to the Charlottesville, VA area for its outdoor lifestyle. Our jobs keep us in Pennsylvania, but we enjoy 6-7 trips to Romance Ridge per year to take in the beauty and serenity of the mountains and hike the trails in the Shenandoah National Park.
Romance Ridge is located at the doorstep of the Shenandoah National Park, and is equidistant between University of Virginia in Charlottesville, and James Madison University in Harrisonburg. With two ski resorts close by at Masannutten and Wintergreen, it's not easy to choose! Luray Caverns is an easy day trip. There are numerous, breweries and vineyards in the area, along with antique shoppes, wildlife management areas, and country roads to explore and take in the undeveloped scenery. The Shenandoah Valley is rich with history, from Civil War trails to James Madison's Monticello, James Monroe's Ash Lawn, and James Madison's Montpelier. No matter your destination, we are sure you will enjoy the peace, solitude, and serenity of the cabin itself. Enjoy your stay!
