Stanardsville Cabin Rental ~ 24 Mi to Shenandoah!

Peaceful and Relaxing

We truly enjoyed our stay—thank you so much for welcoming us into your beautiful home for a relaxing getaway. The movie selection was a treat! We brought a hotspot just in case, though we weren’t sure it was quite what we needed. We've made sure to leave everything just as we found it and followed all the requested guidelines. Your hospitality was deeply appreciated!

Had an absolutely amazing time

My family had an amazing time staying here. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The scenery was gorgeous and we had a wonderful time roasting hotdogs over the fire pit. Shenandoah park is close by and we had a very fun time exploring all the park has to offer. At nights we enjoyed delicious grilled dinners and a very nice selection of movies available with the TV I absolutely recommend staying here

Secluded cabin

Had a nice weekend stay at this very secluded cabin. Very clean inside and had everything we needed. We spent lots of time outside on the wraparound porch and enjoyed the sounds of birds. About 30 minutes from Shenandoah National Park and quite a few wineries. Owner was also very responsive when we had questions. Only issue was that the dirt/gravel driveway wasn't well maintained as there were lots of very big ruts for the last 900 feet, which could have been from a recent rainfall. Fortunately we had 4-wheel drive, which would definitely be a necessity year-round, but I would also say you would need decent clearance beneath your vehicle so you don't risk damaging your undercarriage. I would still recommend this place as it was very nice inside and the location (and quiet) were great.

Adorable cottage in the mountains

This home is set in the upper reaches of a valley on the side of a mountain. With most of the leaves down, we had views of the surrounding mountains in every direction. The house was immaculate when we arrived and well appointed for a lovely stay. We were out and about most of the time visiting Monticello and attending a concert in Charlottesville (about 50 minutes away), but the drive was so scenic we considered it part of the vacation. Everything was as pictured, the beds comfortable and plenty of extra blankets if you wanted them--though they weren't needed--the house was nice and cozy. The supplied hot cocoa cups were definitely a treat on a chilly November evening. There's lots of outdoor space for little ones to roam and run and a fire pit that we didn't have the chance to enjoy because of limited time on our weekend. I concur with other reviewers, you need an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle to climb the last 1/4 mile to the house. The road/drive isn't rocky or uneven, it's just steep, so a front-wheel drive vehicle would struggle to complete it. The 4-wheel-drive Jeep-owning and frequent off-road driver in our group suggested a front-wheel drive vehicle "might" be able to make it if you backed up the whole way. But being a little difficult to get to made this secluded mountain home just that much more wonderful to us. Bottom line, come stay here. You won't regret it. Also, don't miss the fresh donuts (on Saturdays only) and breakfast sandwiches at the Dutch Pantry in Ruckersville--simply phenomenal--you would regret missing them.
