Just wonderful!

The house is well equipped. The surroundings are stunning. The house was clean and comfortable. There were puzzles for indoor entertainment. There are kayaks in the premise near the river (walking distance). There are also river tubes. Kayaking or river tubing can start directly from the property and end at a public access (15 minutes driving from property). There’s also a trail for hiking in the property (1 mile loop) but it’s pretty steep. We loved how peaceful it was. There is a slaughterhouse nearby that had excellent food essentials (eggs, amazing bacon and fresh meat). Bbq grill is right next to the dining table area which makes it very accessible. There is a deck adjacent to the main bedroom and living that has excellent views and a nice outdoor table. The hosts were great!

A slice of Country Paradise

What an absolutely beautiful piece of land. The views are breathtaking in all directions. The River wraps around for unlimited fishing spot choices. The farmhouse has everything you could possibly need bc the owners have thought of it all. It’s so well stocked down to bug spray and pads of notepaper and pens. We were so incredibly impressed with this property. The house was very comfortable (couches, beds etc.) We had a fire near the river, we fished, and the kids played in the water. We went for a hike which is just right out the front door. There was so much to do and explore. We didn’t know what to expect when we booked this property and boy were we pleasantly surprised. It was such a beautiful experience. We will definitely be back and agree with all the other reviews. I see why others have said they’ve been back several times. We highly recommend. Thank you to the owners for sharing this absolutely beautiful piece of land. Our stay was magical and one we will never forget.

Another wonderful getaway!

This was our 3rd or 4th stay at this lovely and comfortable farmhouse. Kathleen is an excellent host; kind, caring, responsive, and communicative. The property, both inside and out is beautiful, and we absolutely love the rescue steer residents. We enjoyed Happy Hour by the river and daily hikes in Shenandoah National Park and other local parks. We will happily return again.

GREAT stay, peaceful and clean!

We really enjoyed our stay at the house. The home was very nice, clean, and serviceable. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. The property is beautiful, I can see why some folks have chosen to just stay here on their vacations. I wish we had time to enjoy more and will hopefully come back again. One note that might be important to those traveling with older family or friends is the 2nd bathroom is in the lower basement level of the home and the second floor is 2 bedrooms and no bathroom. That caused us to have to do a bit of an adjustment on who stayed in what bedrooms but was not a huge deal. Overall a GREAT home with GREAT views and very clean! Thank you!

Beautiful Country Retreat

This property is on farmland with vast fields and a wide river. The house has many large windows and the view is quite spectacular. The house borders a picturesque barn and pasture, where two cows live. The house itself has very large rooms on the first floor and the master bedroom is huge. The kitchen is quite large as well. We enjoyed going down to the river and sitting and wading in the water. Unfortunately, the water level was very low when we were there (July) and we could not go out in the kayaks, tubes, etc. that are available at the house. I will note that there is no bathroom on the second floor. Also, it would have been nice to have a small table in the kitchen to sit at and have coffee or snacks. When we were there satellite TV was not working on the TV in the family room, but I think that was just a temporary glitch. Overall, we had a great time at the house. I would recommend it if you are looking for a country getaway.

A piece of heaven

Peace just descends on us all when we stay here. The home is beautiful, well-stocked, and very clean. We hardly want to leave the property when we're there. However, we did enjoy the "wilds" of Harper's Ferry and ventured into a couple of the small communities nearby. All worth it, but we're always happy to return to "heaven".

The pictures do not do this property justice. Its more beautiful than you can imagine. The river access was super easy. The house is clean and has EVERYTHING you could possibly need at your fingertips. Kathleen and Jerry were very helpful and available to help with any little detail. Their recommendation of Crabills meat market up the road was great and they even pointed us in the right direction for a restaurant in town. The only thing we would have done differently about our stay was to spend more time on this property because it was the best spot around. Do yourself a favor and book a weekend to just hang at this beautiful property. So relaxing.

Shenandoah Paradise

Look no further for your stay in the Shenandoah mountains. This gorgeous spot was so peaceful and serene.All you could hear were birds chirping, the rustling wind and river. There are kayaks, a fire pit, outdoor picnic tables and hammocks. It is a birding, hiking, and kayaking paradise. The house itself is beautifully decorated and each room was large, tasteful, and comfortable. The master bedroom was huge, comfortable and elegant. It had everything we needed including a large bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the room well lit. There was plenty of room for our clothing. The kitchen was well stocked with every condiment,,we could want. There were ample plates, silverware, cups, glasses, pots and pans. We thought we would go out to dinner more often, but we wound up eating in because the property was so gorgeous. We didn’t want to leave. Enjoy your stay at this beautiful property. We hope to come back very soon.

The property was peaceful. There are plenty of paces to stroll and nearby hiking trails as well. The sound of the water was soothing and relaxing. I am sure it must be a great retreat from the heat of the summer as tubing and kayaking would be readily available.

42nd anniversary trip

As other have said, the pictures only hint at the beauty of this property. We had planned to do some tourist visits to the caverns, etc, but we realized we were already in our own private mountain park and it couldn't get any better than this. We hiked, fished in the river, and grilled steaks from Crabill's up the street. We watched the mountain range on all sides of the surrounding valley turn into fall. We identified more song birds in this spot than in any other rental. We watched as deer, wild turkey and cattle grazed in the field. The night sky was wonderful for star gazing, and I even saw a meteor. If we could live here, we would....

A Garden of Eden(with a Farmhouse)

To be honest, I would like to give Kathleen and Jerry's property a negative review, in order to keep the place all to myself...but the truth should be told. The pictures on the website do not give an accurate depiction of the house or the property. It is WAY more beautiful, charming, and comfortable. As soon as we arrived, it felt as though we were plopped down in the middle of an National Geographic nature show. In our first few moments we were greeted by Whitetail Deer, Wild Turkey, Great Blue herons, Green herons, Belted Kingfishers, Osprey, and a huge variety of songbirds. The list continued to grow as the weekend continued...and the Smallmouth bass were bitin'!!! The farmhouse, itself, is much roomier than it appears in the photos. It was actually rather surprising. The rooms are large and very comfortable. The kitchen is as well. The cabinets are better stocked than those at my own house. From a large array of spices to every cooking utensil that you could possibly need, you will want for nothing. The plentiful supply of towels and the bed linens are soft and of obvious high quality. The one rainy day gave us a well-needed day of rest from all our outdoor activities. Even then, Mother Nature's show continued through the large windows throughout the house. We all could still watch the deer and flocks of turkey feeding in the surrounding fields. A rolling mist across the green mountains gave us the illusion being in Ireland. This place is simply heaven!!!

Lovely stay in a beautiful setting

The house and property are exactly as advertised. Very clean, spacious, and well appointed. Plenty of space for our family of four plus grandma. The property is huge and in a very quiet and peaceful setting. Kids loved the direct access to the river. The host is very responsive and we took her many suggestions for local food, local meat at Crabill’s (best breakfast sausage ever!), and local activities. Could not have asked for anything more. It was a great reprieve from our temporary apartment living while our house is being renovated. Definitely recommend this property if your goal is to relax in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley!
