Guest Access:
Guests will have full and private access to the main home. Guests will park on the right side of the driveway.
All cancellations due to weather are subject to our cancellation policy. There can be unpredictable winter weather in the Shenandoah Valley, which can make traversing roads and accessing homes challenging. We recommend purchasing traveler's insurance if you are concerned that your vehicle might not be able to traverse snowy roads during inclement weather and you may have to cancel.
The Neighborhood:
Our home is located 1.8 miles from Tom's Brook, VA, and 3.8 miles from historical Strasburg, VA. We are 17 miles northwest of Skyline Caverns, 22 minutes drive to Elizabeth Furnace Recreation Area, and about an hour north of the Luray Caverns and main entrance to the Shenandoah National Forest.
Getting Around:
This home is located in a rural area of Virginia, so driving is necessary.
Other Things to Note:
We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 25 years of age to book.
Cell service and wifi can be "in and out" due to the rural location of the home. This is a home located in a rural area of the Shenandoah. While great restaurants, shopping, and convenience stores are located only five minutes away, please know that you might encounter all of the great wildlife that lives in the Shenandoah Valley while staying at our home! This could include deer, bears, raccoons, possums, spiders, bugs, snakes, owls and if you're really lucky, even the neighbor's horse! We absolutely love this about our home, but if you're a person who thinks that country-living and the rural experience might not be what you're looking for, we don't recommend booking :)
We require a $50 pet fee for all pets, along with a signed rental agreement.
We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.
Interaction with Guests:
We like to give our guests privacy, so we offer contact-free check-in via a digital door code. Just know that we are only a quick phone call away should ever the need arise!
