About this property

Magnificent Log Home,60 Private Acres--Stunning Mountain Views SUN DANCER

Elegant, country escape overlooking the Shenandoah Valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains of VA. Sun Dancer is just off Route 231, one of America's ten most outstanding scenic byways (Great for experienced bikers). Our 60 private acres backs up to the Shenandoah National Park & Old Rag Mt., which offers many scenic hiking trails and activities.

View the wildlife or the spectacular star-studded sky. Watch the moon rise or take a drive on Skyline Drive. We have a stocked pond for catch & release & there's trout fishing at Graves Mt. Lodge right down the road. Pop some popcorn in our theater sized electric popper & watch your favorite movie on our 65" HDTV screen.

The main level is simply glorious with a view that is breathtaking. We have a large stone fireplace built from rocks on our land, and a 16 person dining room. The kitchen is open to the space and ready for a family gathering. We also have a 52 inch TV, as well as newly acquired Internet and Wi-Fi capabilities. Around the back of the kitchen is a beautiful and serene screened in porch with an outdoor chimenea for s'mores or grilling! Take along your choice drink from the downstairs bar & play a game of shuffleboard on our 9' table, some checkers/chess, or a serious game of foosball or cornhole. Pack a picnic and explore our 60 acre land!

Visit the many wineries, Luray caverns, historic Monticello & Montpelier, Charlottesville, civil war sites, golf, horseback ride, antique shops, art galleries. Massanutten provides all season activities - skiing, go carts, golf, bowling, and an indoor water park. Try fishing in our catch & release pond - bring a picnic and enjoy the view.

A massage therapist will come to the lodge for your spa needs. There are many organic farms and farmer's markets nearby. Pasture fed beef can be found at Rider's Backfield farm just around the corner. There are many scheduled events, festivals, & activities throughout the year. There are world class (Inn of Little Washington) to down home restaurants within 1-25 miles. The lodge is ideal for family gatherings, corporate retreats, reunions, birthdays, girls/guys weekends, or just a quick romantic getaway.

Absolutely wonderful weekend
Had a wonderful time. The house is very eclectic, rustic, and visually applealing. Love the set up and all the bathrooms. There was evidence of it not being as clean as it could have been, and the stove top did not work well. But, overall, it was a great weekend and beautiful place to stay in the mountains.

50th Wedding Anniversary
We celebrated our 50th weddng anniversary with our family. Ages from 4 to 92. We enjoyed the view (would be better without the 2 trees!), the fishing, the woods. We found a swimming hold in the Shenandoah Nat'l Park not far from the house and we all enjoyed it.
