Great time in Shenendoah
Property and hosts are superb!! We had a great time with a beautiful view. The sunrises were awesome. The drive in a little tricky but once in well worth it and after a time or two not bad at all. House was quiet and secluded. Very nice for time with my wife. We were 1/2 hour from the park, were treated very well and would highly recommend this property to anyone!! It was wonderful !!

Relaxing and certainly memorable!
The trip up the mountain did seem daunting; however, I believe it was more due to not knowing what to anticipate based on the reviews. The descent was not difficult at all, most likely because we were more familiar with the road We very much enjoyed our stay at the Guesthaus and our host Tessy was very friendly and helpful. The view was breathtaking, and the mountain top was astonishingly quiet! On our second day there, it POURED for about a half hour, then the clouds appeared in the valley and over the mountains, At one point earlier in the day, the fog rolled in and was so dense you could just barely make out a tree that was on the property about 30 yards away. The fog quickly cleared and the valley became visible again. That same night, the sky directly above us cleared and opened up to some very bright stars that were just amazing. As we gazed at the stars above us, we could also watch a huge lightning storm to the east. Not too long after, the full moon emerged from the storm clouds and dominated the night sky for the remainder of the evening. It was a day of very contrasting nature. This trip was one of our favorite VRBO trips, and we would highly recommend it to anyone who just wants to get away from it all, and get into it all (nature). PS. There is a clock on the microwave that is not set, but otherwise there are no clocks in the Guesthaus that we were aware of. I must say, we never once gave time any thought until we had to leave. Great touch Tessy and Steve!

Great view at a really nice place
The Guest house was really nice. Had everything you would need to stay and good attention to detail. The view is the main selling point. Easy to hang out at, which is good because.... The drive up the mountain is no joke. A solid 5 miles of narrow dirt roads curving back and forth and up some pretty steep slopes. Plan on 20-25 minutes both up and down from the base of the mountain. You'll likely only be doing it once a day. This was the only downside to staying at this location.

Quite Time in the Mountains
We really enjoyed our stay at the Guesthaus and recommend it to others. Hosts Tess and Steve made sure that you have everything that you need for a great stay. We used the grill as well as did some basic cooking in the kitchen. A new larger refrigerator/freezer was recently installed. I suggest stocking up (or eating before you get up there) because the nearest grocery store is at least 25 minutes away. The drive up the mountain is steep but the gravel is well packed. We did not have any troubles going up in a pick-up. We did spend two days in Shenandoah National Park and looked forward to relaxing on the deck taking in the views while listening and watching the birds at the end of the day.

Lovely Getaway!!
The location is PRIME!! Loved the view of the valley below and the mountain ranges around it. Now I know why its called the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every sunrise was different and was able to view a Strawberry moon! Was also privileged to view a wedding at the winery down the mountain from the property!! Again, I loved it!

Birthday Weekend
My wife and myself both enjoy nature, and this place did not disappoint. Honestly picking the place strictly on the view alone did not disappoint. We looked forward to waking up early for the sun rise and coffee, enjoyed the winding ride up and down the mountain, and counted the minutes until sunset just to watch every evening.

Beautiful spot for a self-retreat
I spent a week on a self-meditation retreat. The location and the facilities were beautiful. The view is amazing - the pictures are accurate. Tessy and Steve were great hosts - very helpful. I got to walk part of the Appalachian Trail nearby - saw a bear cross the path. There are wineries nearby, though I did not go to any. Great place for a getaway.

Above the clouds
It’s hard to imagine a more serene setting than this. If you’re looking for an escape into nature while having the accessibility to a great home to return to, go ahead and book it. Tessy was an amazing host and went above and beyond to answer any questions or concerns I had. The Guesthouse is in close proximity to the main house, but the hosts give you the privacy to enjoy your stay, although I’m sure it would’ve been a pleasure to meet Tessy and Steve. This place is 5/5 for a reason.

Something Special
My boyfriend and I stayed in the Guesthaus for a long weekend to enjoy relaxation and bonding time. The property is peaceful, has a breathtaking view, and is more than we could have hoped for. It is clean, well equipped, and welcoming. The gravel road up the mountain sounded daunting reading reviews, but it is nothing to worry about and added to our fun and adventure! We made the drive daily in my Tucson that was even needing maintenance, haha. We planned activities before leaving for the trip and enjoyed heading out early to explore caverns and the local towns and to do some hiking. If we had not already had a plan, Tess and Steve were available with great recommendations. Thank you Tess and Steve for your hospitality and starting a fire for us after a long day of hiking. It was a special way to end our last night at the Guesthaus. It was wonderful meeting you and the dogs. This trip was everything I had hoped for and more, and I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. We hope to be back very soon! The Guesthaus is a special gem and is great for a peaceful and private getaway. I can't recommend it enough.

Hiking in the Shenandoah Mountains
Clean, well-appointed, charming guest house. Our hosts were helpful and responsive. And the views are breathtaking! The road to the guest house is breathtaking for a very different reason! It’s long, rough, and in a couple places combines a very sharp turn with a very steep incline. I navigated it successfully 4 times in my Jeep Wrangler, but it was a little intimidating. The stunning views and lovely guest house are the payoff for such a long climb, but just be prepared to do a little work to get there.

Steve and Tess were wonderful hosts. Very responsive and helpful. The directions to the property were very helpful and we were able to make it up in our Toyota Corolla, though you may feel more comfortable in a SUV at some parts in the road. The views were lovely, the place clean and inviting and peaceful. Steve took us to a place where we can access the AT and came a pick up of us again we were finished. Definitely would visit again.

Lovely spot
Perfect spot with gorgeous views. Kitchen is more like “kitchenette”- a hot plate, sink, and microwave. Very clean. Access to the park from the property though we didn’t take that option with the limited time we had, it would be fun to try. Otherwise if you want into the park or skyline drive you will be driving for about 45 minutes despite being geographically close. Can’t emphasize enough how gorgeous the view is and how amazing it is to wake up to that.

You really need to book this cabin it’s clean and well furnished with all you need. We grilled out each evening and then enjoyed the fire pit at nights.

So the most important thing to know about this place is that the drive on the one-lane road up the mountain is a bit of a beast and you should definitely bring snacks, but oh man, it is so worth it. My boyfriend and I spent almost the whole weekend on the patio, just staring out at the vista of the blue ridge mountains. Can’t wait to come back. What a little slice of heaven.
