Exactly what we hoped it would be." - "My wife and I spent the weekend with our dogs in Sperryville--quite a lovely town with fun shops, eateries, brewery, distillery, you name it! The property is very quaint and comfortable and accurate with the listing and Sarah's communication was quick and seamless. Sperryville is a quick drive to one of the Skyline Dr. entrances in Shenandoah National Park where we did some hiking and driving with the dogs. All around, a great time.

Other things to note
While dogs are allowed at the property, the property is not fully enclosed therefore we do require them to be leashed if you are worried about them getting lost. We also also ask that if a pet is left indoors by themselves, that they are kennelled in order to prevent any damage to the property while not under human supervision.

Please also note that due to this being in a rural location the internet can be a little spotty in inclement weather. The only wifi that is available in the area is satellite internet through Viasat. It works well for light working from home, streaming Netflix, answering e-mails, checking social media, etc but if you need to be doing a lot of uploading, downloading, and/or gaming it may not be the best option for you. You may however head to the local coffee shop (Broad Porch Coffee Co.) that has free wifi and is only 15 mins away!

This is more of a remote stay and a perfect way for you to get away from the busy city and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature :)

If you are coming during the winter, a 4WD is HIGHLY recommended. The driveway may feel steep for those who are not used to driving in the mountains, especially if conditions are icy.

We always recommend that all guests PURCHASE TRIP INSURANCE in the event of a cancellation.

- "This was the nicest, well prepared, accommodating place we've ever stayed. It was so refreshing to find a place so eager to cater to folks bringing their fur babies. After a very nice hike to Rose River Falls the kitchen was so fresh and ready to prepare a great meal. The bathrooms stocked with everything we'd need and the hot tub was so inviting, we stayed in it for HOURS. We will definitely return to stay here and don't recommend anyone else go there so we can have it all for ourselves lol. No, if you pass this house and these hosts up, you're making a mistake."
