Stunning getaway
Absolutely loved this getaway! We had a squeaky, scratchy visitor in the bedroom wall all night long bedside us one night that just wouldn't go away which was annoying but didn't ruin our stay. If we were actually at the cabin more than taking advantage of the hiking I would have done a deep clean but staying kinda off the grid you get what you expect. The host had a full book of the area which was amazing, as well as maps, books, movies, etc which really made it feel like a home away from home. I would definitely love to book this again!!

10 year Anniversary getaway
Overall exactly what we needed. The goal was to unplug and reconnect with each other, and this location was perfect for that. Expect a rustic stay and true rural feel, with the luxury of a hot tub. Definitely off the beaten path down and up winding roads, Definitely recommend a sturdy vehicle to get around in. Overall loved our stay and will absolutely do it again!!

Needs updating
The cabin was overall ok. I know it’s rural and that was expected. However overall the inside needs updating… futon couch was horribly uncomfortable to sit on, couldn’t imagine sleeping on it. No real chairs to sit on as they felt like they would break under normal weight. Basement room was full of spiderwebs and has a huge foundation crack down the wall, it was storming on arrival and water was leaking/seeping through the wall. Bring everything with you, including towels. We had 4 adults and 5 total towels… between showers and the hot tub (which works wonderfully) they never did dry out, we had to go to Walmart and buy towels. The house is not stocked with any pantry staples, or storage bowls etc… Just be advised that it’s 35ish min to Walmart if you need anything No cellphone service at all, even with our hotspot, just be aware… there is a landline :) Deck is very very slippery when wet Bring fans, there is “ac” in the bedrooms, but it doesn’t get really cool No ceiling fans, didn’t open bedroom windows, one was full of mouse poo and the main floor window the screen didn’t seal and it had some foam around it but the bees were still trying to get in Photos of house are not current state of it, looks like they were from a few years ago when the items shown were new… Overall not terrible, just not what we were expecting based off photos

Several issues in the review we do not supply or state are not available. We don't provide pantry supplies, wi-fi and cell service are not available. The Mountain is in the way. We pay $110 a month to keep a land line in the building and it is the currently the only option available. With the look of the building, It rained, same with the deck. Same thing occurs when it is overcast in the winter. On a sunny day the Pictures are accurate. we have just placed a New AC unit in the Cabin. Unfortunately we were not able to change it out before this tenant. For the Chairs ,I weigh 220 and they hold me just fine. With the Foundation issue, there is Drain tile on this cabin that pulls water off the foundation usually weep age. Drain tile is a corrugated Pipe with mesh and rock barrier that drains water off a foundation. If water cam through as describes we would have constant water on the floor and we don't. This si checkable by the flooring in the lower level not having any water damage. We do have a new Futon ordered it has not arrived yet as of this writing. We thank the tenant to bring this to our attention.

Ruined Weekend Getaway!
We were supposed to stay three nights at the cabin, but we only stayed one night. Because the first night we were about to go to sleep and my daughter went upstairs to the Loft area to sleep and found dead and live bugs and mice dropping behind her headboard. Then she found bugs in her windowsill. It was the end of June, and it was hot in the cabin. The cabin was advertised as airconditioned, but the AC was broke. To the main house and the window AC. So, my daughter and her son took the mattress off the bed and was going to sleep downstairs until they found dead bugs under the mattress. There were dead bugs behind the headboard in the downstairs bedroom too. It was late at night, and we would have had to pack and drive 3 ½ hours to get home. Driving that mountain in the day is dangerous enough. We didn’t want to drive it at night. So, we barely got any sleep stayed awake and waited for the sun to come up. The sun came up and we packed and opened the pots and pans door in the kitchen and found mouse droppings. Just the day before we eat off the plates and drank out of the glasses for dinner. We could all get sick! We just wanted to get home! The cabin has no cell service, No Tv Channels, No AC, No Dishwasher that worked, was told it just broke but if you read past reviews the dishwasher has been broke before. No Decent chairs or sofas to sit on just a hard as rock futons. And cheap wooden chair that will break if you sit on. Cobwebs, Dust! When we got home, we called the owner. He Got mad. Wouldn’t return our money. Wouldn’t stop renting the cabin! So, we contacted VBRO! Then Patrick started Lying! Saying we brought the bugs in. We staged it to get our money back. All Lies! First, we just booked the cabin two weeks before plus added an extra day to our stay. Plus, we took an 80-year-old woman with us my mother who can barely walk! We bought tickets to Luray caverns and a 5 day Fishing license. We wouldn’t have done or spent all this money just to get our Cabin money back. He’s INSANE! People can get SICK!!! Now Patrick the owner will say we did something or wanted something or broke something all LIES! The review won't let me give names of businesses .Another couple stayed at the cabin and drove 4 1/2 hours and only stayed 3 hours at the cabin because it was so disgusting! Mouse droppings 2 years ago. Patrick Burns in Stanley Va Go to his other website and read the review Rustic Pros and Cons from Dec 2016 You'll find more mice droppings...

The tenant stated that they would leave but it was too dark a 4:43 in the afternoon to make a 3 1/2 hour drive. There was 5 hours of day light left. We take pictures of every rental. The Conditions in the basement raised were not there in the Pictures. The AC does work . The units are a bit smaller because larger units freeze the Compressor due to the Elevation and Humidly. The smaller units work also because it is almost always 7f cooler at 2505' then the valley. The futon was replaced last March along with one Mattress. The other two Mattresses were Replaced the Year before. Our accuracy rating is 4.7 and 4.8 according to the site. the Pictures accurately represent the cabin. this is in excess of 225 reviews on all the sites we are on. Every complaint of theirs was blown out of proportion. One complaint was that a electrical outlet cover plate has a less then 1/3 of a millimeter separation between the cover plate and the wall was dangerous. it's not. IF they Left at 5pm and did not stay, we would have given their money back. They Stayed. We have a strict cancelation Policy to give us the most latitude in being fair with people. I offered 2 night back buy they refused and demanded everything back. VRBO gives us 14 days to check out issues. The Lawlesses wanted their money back right then. Mr. Lawless then starting complaining about gas prices, like we have any control. The Lawlesses' then started Harassing us. Mr. Lawless called us every other hour and in-between we were getting harassing messages on VRBO. When we got on the call with VRBO Mrs. Lawless Started calling me names. At that point they were completely unprofessional and we ended the contact. We are guessing that the Vacation got out of the Lawlesses Budget because of Gas Prices. We have seen this before, in other economic down turns. If the cabins gets out of your budget contact us as soon as possible. We will work with you. But if barraged with unsupported accusations we are forced to defend our reputation and go to the use the full extent of our posted policies.

Unplanned anniversary.
Totally unplanned stay as far as having a plan for activities. It was a crazy winter weather that we were not expecting that caused the only 4*s (outside the owners control). Weather knocked out hot tub(Sub-Zero at night) and the roads to the cabin were in bad shape from snow and ice that had no chance to melt ( under 32° whole stay). The cabin was plenty warm and had everything needed for a 3 night stay. Owner has very good communication with anything that came up, including letting us know about the weather ahead of time. My wife wants to try to stay again, just not in the winter.

Filthy - Poop in the toilet
We frequently stay in cabins, and are no strangers to roughing it. When we first saw Patrick's cabin we thought it would be a perfect place for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When we arrived there was trash all over the front porch. It was littered with wet paper towels and other items which we cleaned up. The hot tub was dirty, with a film around the edge we were just told to ignore and wipe down. The sheets on the bed were clean but the rest of the house was in disarray and filthy. But probably the worst part was that the bathroom on the main level had poop in it. Again, I don't mind a little dirt and roughing it but this was disgusting. I would not recommend staying here.

Log chalet get away
A beautiful , quiet home in the woods. Everything was in working order. Equipped with most of what you may need. The property was supposed to be "close" to sheanandoah national park, however the closest entrance was 1 hour away. It is "close" as the crow flies, but not driving. I think the owner should be more specific about this. The next time I travel I will be researching better so as not to have to travel so much every day. I was very happy that the property is pet friendly, and my dog did enjoy her stay also.

Relaxing getaway with much to offer
My wife and I recently spent a quiet and relaxing week at this cabin and enjoyed every minute. Thanks to the information provided by Patrick we had no issues locating or entering the property. The beauty of the mountain, distance from the main road, disconnect from wi-fi/cellular service, hot tub, fire pit, large deck, and other attributes make this a property worth visiting. Everything we needed (sheets, towels, kitchen items) were provided. A beautiful drive down the mountain sets you between Stanley and Luray. Each town is easily accessible and offers many local points of interest. If you are not familiar with this area, we have a few recommendations. -Jordan Hollow Stables on Pine Grove Road in Stanley -West Main Market (delicatessen) on Main Street in Luray -Broad Porch Coffee, Co. on Main Street in Luray -Luray Caverns -Storybook Trail -Skyline Drive We appreciate this wonderful cabin and location and look forward to coming back.

Not what we expected
Cute, rustic cabin nestled on a hillside in the woods. The deck is gorgeous and we had a view of a beautiful sunset through the leafless trees. The queen bed on the main floor was very comfortable. However, as other reviewers have mentioned, the cabin desperately needs some TLC, starting with a good cleaning. There were cobwebs in every room and the kitchen floor could use a thorough mopping. We were looking forward to settling down with good books but could not find a comfortable place to sit in the entire place. The dining chairs were uncomfortable folding chairs so we tried the chairs downstairs. When I gently moved one of them the back fell apart. The living room couch is a futon with a mattress so thick that a person cannot sit up straight on it. I imagine it's great for sleeping but not for sitting. We tried to run the dishwasher, as instructed, the night before leaving. It seemed to be trying but we found in the morning that it had not worked at all and we had a load of dirty dishes to wash by hand. The kitchen is not as well equipped as the VRBO description implies. There were not enough pots and pans for more than a small group. There were plenty of forks and knives but only 4 spoons of 2 different sizes We chose this cabin because we wanted to hike Old Rag and the VRBO listing stated that it was 8.9 miles away. That must be as the crow flies. There are no roads, that we could find, that cross the mountain range and Skyline Drive. It was more than 30 miles to drive around the mountain through Luray and Sperryville to get there. We would not have chosen this cabin if we had known it was so far.

Perfectly Peaceful!
We stayed here in early March and couldn’t have enjoyed our time more! The location was peaceful and the amenities exceeded our expectations for a rustic cabin. It was very clean, water pressure in the bathrooms was great and all appliances worked great. Once the hot tub warmed up to our liking, we thoroughly enjoyed evenings under the stars and then warming up further by the extremely efficient fire place. It was so peaceful. For hikers, we were able to drive to a close park access road, park at the gate and hike into the park. The walk was an easy .9 to 1 mile and dropped us right at Big Meadow. Easy drive to wineries (we highly recommend Wisteria) and Luray Caverns. If you like peace and quiet in a comfortably rustic location, look no further.

Peaceful!
Aside from a slight miscommunication with the owners regarding the door code upon arrival, we had a great time. The property is super secluded and peaceful. The smell of fresh air alone was enough for us (we live in a city so we needed this!). We brought an outdoor projector with us and played scary movies on a white sheet draped across the deck. We had to make a run for matches to make a campfire (we left a few packs for the next guests!) but the grocery store isn't far at all. Our dogs absolutely loved being able to run around and smell all sorts of new smells. Be mindful that there is NO cell service, so if you need to contact someone you'll have to travel away from the property to do so. One of the best parts of our trip was watching the sun set beyond the trees while sitting in the hot tub. This was a great value and a great stay. Thank you, Patrick!

Great retreat home
It was a good solo stay for me. It was originally booked for my wife and I but unfortunately she wasn't able to be there. It is remote no wifi no cell service which I found to be a plus for an uninterrupted retreat. There is a television but no cable also no big deal for me. Bring DVDs if you want entertainment. Also I reccomend that the owner let renters know to download the directions before venturing to find it as there is no cell or spotty service outside of Luray. The cabin is relatively clean and was fine with my expectations others would take issue. There was a carpenter ant problem that the owner should address before it becomes serious. The hot tub was great nice after a day out. No real traffic very quiet with the exception of the neighbors dogs which were off leash and I had a brief standoff with. If you need to use the downstairs bedroom be aware it is quite musty and damp. All the bedding and towels were fine. One weird thing is that the owner showed up during the stay when I was gone for the day moved some dishes to the sink which upon returning gave me that strange feeling of someone having been there inside a locked home. The owner did call and text but ofcourse did not get those until the following day. I would recommend it it for a weekend retreat a bit of haul in and out for a longer stay.

Hi Chris and thanks for the review, We totally respect guest privacy and simply made an error reading the schedule. As soon as we realized the error, we left the building as quickly as possible and tried to contact you every way we had available to us. Hurricane Isaias had just passed through the area. The storm dropped 8" of rain on the mountain. It takes several days for the forest to dissipate that much rainfall. We spray regularly for carpenter ants and other pest being so close to Forrest. Carpenter ant nest often relocate within an hour of a heavy rainfall. We usually win, but sometimes nature is faster then we are., You are a good guest and welcome back at any time.

Could be decent but…
This cabin could be very nice, but there are some major problems. Before we arrived we were sent an email saying we would be sent an access code to get entry to property. But on the day itself we still hadn't received one so we started to message, email and telephone the host on 2 different phone numbers. Nobody replied to any messages and we left several voicemails which were not responded to. So we hoped that this meant that like many rural properties we would just be able to get access easily, if it was already open or if there was a reception or something. But after 8 hours of driving, when we arrived we could not get into the property. Calling the host's main number and emergency number got no response. There is no cell service or internet at the property, so we had to drive around for another 40 minutes to get internet, then eventually find a grubby motel which allowed pets, drive a further 30 minutes and pay for the motel. Eventually, late morning the following day the host replied literally saying "my bad" and gave us the code. After that he did send us some flowers and a box of chocolates for our anniversary, which was nice, and gave us a partial refund, but that only just covered the night we missed, along with the fees and taxes which we still had to pay in full. Other than the check-in and communication difficulties, the cabin is very nice, in lovely, quiet surroundings, and having no cell or internet service does force you to unplug and relax which is very refreshing. The hot tub is good as well. That said, the cabin is a little run down, and quite dirty in places (for example in windows, corners, edges of bathrooms and taps etc, bedsheets were slightly stained), and even though you expect there to be insects in the countryside, gaps under doors meant that large numbers of big ants walk freely into the cabin all over the place, which wasn't very appealing. Anyway if you aren't that fussed about cleanliness, this place could be great, but just make sure that you get the entry code beforehand, and that you download an off-line map of the area to your satnav so you don't have to just drive around if anything happens and you need to contact someone or use the web.

The tenant had an international phone number and it was not transmitting through our communications systems. We never had this issue before. As soon as we found out the issue we started trying multilabel ways of getting in contact with the tenant. We were having difficulties contacting them. We are doing our best to learn from this situation and adjust accordingly.

Great escape to nature
With the current pandemic happening, escaping to the mountains to divert away from everyday "life" is what my wife and I wanted. With this property, we were able to fully disconnect and relax in nature's splendor. Relaxing on the deck, surrounded by lush trees, playing cards while listening to music made our overall stay amazing. Waking up and gazing out the gorgeous windows that looks out to the property gives you the feeling that you are in a tree house. The spa on the deck was much appreciated after our long hike along the Appalachian Trail (Day 1) and a long cycling ride through the Shenandoah Valley/Massanutten Valley (Day 2). Thank you for a great stay; we will be back!

Cabin in the woods
Working with Patrick was wonderful. Communication was impeccable, and he always responded quickly. I traveled with my 13 yr old daughter, and 73 year old parents. We stayed for 2 nights and there were pros a cons. Pros: 1. Rooms - there was enough space for all of us and enough bedding and towels provided to make the stay exactly what we needed Loft - my daughter absolutely loved the loft and didn't want to leave. A teenagers paradise. 2. HOT TUB! Yes! This was the biggest draw for us and the highlight for my daughter and I. 3. Pro/Con: no wifi/data. I enjoyed "disconnecting," but it wasn't easy for my parents who like to check the news online early each morning. This is relative, so just something to consider when booking. note: I wish we had known before we arrived that we would lose all data service about 10 min before arrival. Luckily it was still light outside, and we figured out how to go the rest of the way without GPS, but make sure you screenshot the last bit of directions as there are many turns and forks in the roads. Cons: 1. Kitchen supplies need updating. Frying pan was so worn down I couldn't use it to make breakfast as the corrosion would have ended up as part of my breakfast. 2. living area/dining area could use some updating. My dad struggled to sit in the chairs as they were folding chairs or futon style. Again, this is relative to who you are traveling with. All in all, this was good cabin living and one additional thing to note was that I thought it was great that there was a welcome booklet with tips on how to avoid bears (hahaha - I definitely appreciated that:)) along with suggestions on things to do in the area. A nice touch.

Cabin Retreat
This cabin is the mountain oasis for reconnections. There isn’t any internet or cable so you get “plugged in” for conversations, games and a way to ground yourself away from the hustle and bustle. Patrick was very helpful and answered any questions we had regarding the property. This is an outdoorsman/woman’s great getaway! Relax, enjoy the hot tub and be surrounded by peace and quiet!

Great getaway place
We had a great time, the place was well maintained. Not having any WiFi service helped us have quality time. The water pressures in the upstairs bathroom toilet could be better. Overall fantastic.

Thank you Natarajan. You are a great guest and welcome back at any time. The upstairs commode is a low flow one. One of the bumps of being environmentally friendly. Thanks!

Awesome weekend
This is a fabulous weekend getaway. Very secluded. We loved the lack of cell phone service. The hot tub was awesome. Patrick was great to work with and very helpful.

Rustic and great location
The location of this cabin is awesome! Our dog had a blast sniffing and running around the property and woods. As long as you expect rustic and not plush..you will like this place. The Hot Tub felt great after horse back riding at nearby stables. Very nice deck and outdoor fire pit. The owner was very easy to communicate with. No internet which was fine with us! The TV signal was not working but to tell the truth we didn’t care. The cabin could probably use some TLC but really nothing to complain about. The gas stove in the living room kept us cozy at night when the temperature dropped and we always had hot water. Very nice long weekend there!
