About this property

Competitive Prices, Beautiful Views, River, Fun Activities, Not Far from Dc

This quaint, country home and cabin is located at the foot of a mountain overlooking the famous Shenandoah River known for its fishing and beauty. It is a rustic place with the basic for comforts, it is not a 5 star hotel all perfect and super modern but more of a rustic, old grandma's home style with some modern features (like a large flat screen TV with surround system, WiFi and a brand new Hot Tub. So please be aware of that fact so you don't get disappointed when you arrive and see that is not like a luxurious resort.
Guests have access to a private entrance to the Shenandoah River, which is just across the home. The area was recently designated a national landmark by the U.S. Department of Interior because of its beauty and historical importance. In particular, a favorite activity is to take the Skyline Drive, which is operated by the National Park Service. Alternatively, visit the Luray Caverns, which is just a 15 minute drive from the home. Shopping and restaurants are just 15 minutes from the home.

CABIN AND MAIN FEATURES

The home has a large deck from which you witness the spectacular view by day of the Shenandoah River and Shenandoah Valley, which is surrounded by mountains full of forests. On the same deck by night you witness the starry night seeing the sky full of stars and planets! Also you can appreciate of all of these marvelous views while being in a nice new hot tub. The home is locally known as “1 Little Vineyard by the River”, since it has a small and developing vineyard and as a result you will see this theme reflected inside the home through its decor. The kitchen, comes with most of what you need to cook or simply to serve prepared food you bring from area eateries. The living room has a convenient electric fireplace, nice flat screen TV and surround sound system where you and your kids can comfortably enjoy different shows or movies (even from the kitchen while cooking) or simply play some nice music while you cook or enjoy conversations with your family and friends.

ACTIVITIES AND CONVENIENCES

Guests come to either rest or to enjoy the many activities the area offers, which include fishing, hunting, biking, hiking, mountain climbing, swimming or kayaking or canoeing. Those into the civil war will find many important historical sites or battle locations very close by. Guests have access to a private entrance to the Shenandoah River, which is just across from the home. The home is easily accessible from Washington DC or from Northern Virginia. Flights from anywhere in the country are usually reasonable so travel cost should not deter you. Those coming from outside the area will find it easy to travel to the area, since you have three major airports serving the area: Dulles International Airport, Washington Reagan Airport or Baltimore International Airport.

Come and enjoy the peaceful environment here at the home and at the same time have easy access to such notable places as the Smithsonian Museums, Capital, and the White House. Alternatively, you can simply drive down the famous and breathtaking Skyline Drive operated by the U.S. National Park Service, which is minutes from the home. The towns of Front Royal and Luray are also an easy 15 minute drive (approx) from the home and there you will have access to shopping, restaurants and to the renowned Luray Caverns.

LAYOUT OF CABIN

The cabin sleeps up to 12 persons. It has different areas so family don't feel too tight with each other. It is large enough but it has been divided and planned in a certain way that if you are just a couple and are looking to spend some cozy time with your partner or a small family, don't worry, you would get that cozy feeling from the design of the cabin as well.

For those wanting to know how private the bedrooms are, here is a description of cabin’s layout.

Keep in mind that the cabin is an A-frame cabin with a loft. The cabin has four bedrooms*; two bedrooms have total privacy with doors (one is located in the A Frame Portion of the house on the first level and the other one is located at the basement), one bedroom is a loft and offers some privacy and another smaller bedroom with no doors and therefore with little privacy is located before accessing to the A Frame Portion of the House next to the living room. That is the main bedroom provided for reservations made for one couple only. Here is a further description.

On the main floor are:
the kitchen, dining area, screened porch, 2 full bathrooms, a living room, a family room, and 2 "master" bedrooms. The main one located in the A Frame Portion of the cabin has a door, making this bedroom one of the most private ones. It has a queen size bed. You will find the master bathroom right in front of this master bedroom at the end of the hallway.

Next to the living room is the other "main" bedroom with a queen size, very comfortable bed and it has been redesigned for hosting couples. It connects to the A-frame portion of the home but has been somehow separated in case only one couple reserves the home and want a more intimate and cozy experience but can be open up in case larger families reserve the cabin.

The A Frame portion of the home has the loft, the private "master" bedroom and bathroom and a family room
The bedroom in the loft does not have doors, but yet the area is relatively private, since you have to be on the top floor to have clear view of the main bedroom. The loft has a full-size bed and a queen size futon.
The A Frame section of the cabin has a family room with beautiful large views to the river and the hills and access to the deck at the front of the house. There is the second futon where 2 people can sleep and some club chairs or arm chairs to relax.

The basement is finished and it has a private bedroom with a queen size bed and it has a door that closes for privacy and there's a living area right outside with a couch that converts into a full-size bed. The basement is not closed in, but rather is at the level of the driveway. It has its own private entry and sliding glass doors. So it’s not claustrophobic. The basement will be included in the price for groups of 11 or 12. For groups of 10 or less the basement will remain locked since 10 or less could fit in the beds provided. If you wish to have access to the basement in order to use the extra private bedroom and area, please indicate it in your inquiry and we will let you know the cost of it for your reservation.

The main floor to the cabin has the main amenities needed including kitchen, living room, bathrooms and access to the main deck where the Hot tub is. There is no need to have access to the basement unless you have a very large party. Please know that most of the time, the cabin would be divided depending on the size of the party or if it is just a couple. If it is just one couple they would use only the new redesigned bedroom and the rest of the main floor except the A Frame portion of the cabin.
For groups of nine (9) adults and (2) two children They will have access to the A Frame Portion of the cabin but no access to the basement, since the main floor with the loft of the A-Frame accommodates these many guests.
Parties that are larger than 10 will have access to the basement, which will sleep up to four adults (has a single full-size bed in a private bedroom and has a full-size sleeper couch). Access to locked areas at the cabin would be available at an extra cost.

The kitchen is a large kitchen with all the basics provided for doing basic cooking (micro, dishwasher, fridge, dishes, pots and silverware).

The main living room is next to the kitchen and there is where you will find one full bathroom. The living room has a fireplace, flat screen TV (50') with cable and surround sound system.

Exactly as described & perfect for our holiday vacation
Fernando and Sissy had the perfect home for our family get together for the holidays. Their description of the house was accurate and their communication was quick. We had a question about the internet, and even though it was the holidays, they were prompt and got us the assistance needed within minutes. The home was spacious for the nine (8 adults and 1 toddler) of us, and we all had room that we weren't on each other's backs. The location to the river, Luray and the national park was great. Seeing the sunrise each morning was breathtaking from within the house, and the hot tub was an added bonus when it was chilly.. :) Definitely will plan to stay again!

In desperate need of TLC
After booking, Fernando and Sissy asked us to vacate the property from 8A-noon the Saturday (day after arrival) we were there, as they had roof repairs scheduled. I thought it was odd and considered asking for a discount, but I booked last minute and was truthfully glad I found something. Well, there's a reason this was the only place in the area (with a hot tub) left. The neighborhood and views are beautiful but this property was extremely unclean (literally hair from a previous visitor in the shower, dirty cups in the cupboard, dead bugs on the walls and ceilings) to the point of discomfort. I even slept on the front room couch because I was unsure about the beds. They say it's rustic, but that's a pretty polite euphemism covering up the fact it isn't cleaned regularly. The hot tub doesn't have stairs or a ladder so you have to climb up into it. Older visitors would definitely have problems enjoying this amenity. When I relayed the dirty state of the property upon arrival, Fernando and Sissy apologized but did not offer to send out cleaning services or discount anything. Later, they offered a discount on a future stay, but I asked to apply it to this visit. They offered less than the cost of our 3rd party member, and I've yet to see that refund.

Wonderful weekend getaway.
We had a wonderful time staying at Fernando and Sissy’s cabin. It’s a very cute and cozy place tucked away near the mountains. Hot tub was fantastic and a great view from it, at first it didn’t seem like it would be all that private but because the house is up on the hill it was perfect. Enjoyed the whole stay in general and it’s a great price. Definitely a great option for larger groups as well.

Tremendous Sunrise!!
We have been visiting the Shenandoah area annually for the past 17 years. I’m an avid backpacker but can’t get the ladies to stay in a tent so we look for cabins to make them comfortable. We’ve stayed in many different properties over the years (and this is no slight to the other fine properties) but this has been our most enjoyable stay, in respect to proximity, comfortably, cleanliness, overall integrity of the property and (if your an early riser like me) the most tremendous sunrise from the front porch. After a gorgeous day on Skyline drive we had only a 16min drive from Walmart. The cabin is nestled on a nice elevation which give breathtaking views of the Shenandoah towards the east, Washington Nat Forest towards the west, and Shenandoah North Fork River towards the North. We found Fernando and Sissy give the place a hotel feel with the cleanliness and preparation before our arrival. Heaters were very easy to use, all switches are labeled, WiFi was strong and hot tub was super clean. We already miss the place and cannot wait to return. Thanks again Fernando and Sissy for a great stay!! Anthony

Not an accurate description--very disappointing experience
Let me start by saying that I'm not one to relish in negative posts; it really takes a lot for me to feel the need to write a post like this, but I think it would be unfair if this property continued to receive the high rating it has (which I cannot, for the life of me, understand). We booked this cabin for my birthday weekend, and we frequent the Shenandoah Valley often. We were so excited because the photos and the descriptions made it sound like a rustic oasis with plentiful amenities only "minutes" away from Skyline Drive. To begin, there are only two proper bedrooms in the entire property (not four). The other "rooms" consist of an open loft and an awkward space that cuts between one sitting room and another. In my group, there were a number of couples and a lot of disappointment. The cost of the property (which is NOT cheap!) is not worth what you get. Furthermore, the welcome letter is an overwhelming pages-long warning of what not to do. Everything had a price tag listed (i.e. you'll be charged if the hot tub isn't clean (???), or if you use the firewood (WHAT?!) or the trash isn't all taken out to very specific dumpster sites with very limited weekend hours). On top of that, the property wasn't stocked with enough toilet paper... when we contacted the owner about our disappointment regarding the inaccurate description of "rooms" and the lack of toilet paper, we were met with an apathetic apology and insistence that the descriptions were accurate. To top off the weekend, my husband ended up filling his car with almost a dozen bags of trash only to learn that the dumpster sites don't open until noon. He ended up lugging all the smelly trash back to Arlington to dump in our apartment dumpster. The only thing this place has going for itself is its location and views, but even that was not described accurately. To be clear, this cabin is NOT in or near the Shenandoah... it is almost an hour away from Skyline Drive. Don't be fooled by the descriptions of this property. Needless to say, we will not be back.

About the host

Hosted by Fernando & Sissy Soriano

Host profile image
I grew up on a ranch in a rural part of California. Traveling often to Washington DC I found it was a perfect place to stay in touch with nature and to be in a peaceful environment far from the busy urban world. Yet I liked having access to Washington DC, which has all the entertainment one can possibly have from any large city.

Why they chose this property

I chose this place because it is full of nature and beauty, which it affords access to the nation’s capital. Whether one wishes to take it easy and just let time stop or be active in water sports or hiking, this place is ideal for both. I cannot think of a more beautiful home for getting away from it all!

What makes this property unique

Guests have access to a private entrance to the Shenandoah River, which is just across the home. The area was recently designated a national landmark by the U.S. Department of Interior because of its beauty and historical importance.

You can do a little bit of hiking on your own backyard little forest and small hill.

Keep connected to the world and have the comforts of technology by having access to internet, phone service and Satellite TV.

In particular, a favorite activity is to take the Skyline Drive, which is operated by the National Park Service. Alternatively, visit the Luray Caverns, which is just a 15 minute drive from the home. Shopping and restaurants are just 15 minutes from the home.
