We had a great time at the house. perfect weekend getaway. Susan is really sweet. A great place to stage day hikes or chill/grill

This was a very relaxing and comfortable place to stay with my friend and our children during our trip. The location was quiet and peaceful. The kids loved the pond and rolling around in the grassy hills around the house. We also enjoyed the little farm market nearby as a great little spot for a snack and to let kids play at the playground. Thanks for a lovely visit.

Sue's house is a great fall destination- we enjoyed local apple picking and pumpkin patch- ing! Sue was a great host with prompt and helpful responses to any questions.

Susan was a wonderful host. She was very communicative prior to our arrival and the listing was exactly as described. A beautiful, open space set in a very tranquil spot. This is the perfect spot to relax and a quick trip if you are in the DC area. I would absolutely recommend and stay at this lovely little house in Star Tannery.

Great place in the countryside! Susan was a great host making sure we had everything we needed for our stay!

A cozy, relaxing getaway from city hustle and bustle. Susan provided all the information we could possibly need up front, and the house was well-appointed. The helpful notes around the house made it easy to figure out the wi-fi, heating, and everything else.

This is a fabulous getaway and my boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The scenery is very picturesque and there are a number of good hikes in the area. Susan is a very welcoming and helpful host. I would definitely recommend this for a quiet trip away!

We spent four days at Susan's place on New Years, planning for our 2017. It was super quiet, private, and cozy. Susan's notes all around the house were so helpful for our stay and helped us to feel right at home. The sunrises and sunsets were perfection. It was pitch black at night—a welcome sight since we're country kids who live in the city. The place was clean, very well kept, and evidently loved. Susan let us stay through the day our last day there and it was so appreciated to not have to get up and going right away. We would go back without a second thought! Thank you Susan!

Our stay was wonderful! Samantha already had the house ready and open for us and was readily available if we needed her. The home had everything you needed and Samantha even included brochures for the surrounding area attractions. After a long day of hiking and zipling, it was nice to come back to a beautiful home, cook dinner, and relax. I would definitely stay here again!

The host canceled this reservation 58 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We found this wonderful place super last minute but Samantha was wonderful in accommodating us. The house is huge, easy to find, and so peaceful! We loved our stay.

We all loved this place and master bedroom was matter price. Samantha was really nice and very good host. As the name suggest it was an complete hideaway from busy schedule and busy city.

Awesome place. Great stay for family. Calm and peaceful. I would like to get back again.

Our stay at Holstein Hideaway was unique and relaxing and it was easy to coordinate with Samantha. It is spacious and cozy farmhouse with plenty of charm right on the property -- my kids spent a lot of time with two friendly donkeys and fishing on the pond. The rooms are large and comfortable, plenty of blankets and towels, there are multiple tvs and a diverse DVD library, and a couple of bins of childrens toys. The house is on a main road -- though not a busy one -- which makes it easy to get in and out. It's a quick drive to a chain grocery store or farmstands and easy to get to local attractions. And the owner even has her own business that will deliver staples to the property. There is a lot of helpful info on the Holstein Hideaway website. We really enjoyed our stay -- thanks Samantha!

We had a wonderful experience in the country at this historic country home. It was a great escape away from the city. We especially loved seeing the animals!

My friends and I stayed at the Holstein Home for new years. We were going for a more relaxed trip away from the city and it definitely exceeded our expectations! The house is an older, traditional farmhouse with a cozy feel to it. To start off we had three cars so it was great that there was enough space for parking. It was also very neat and well-equipped for most of what we needed from cookware to bath towels. Anything that the house was not able to provide, Samantha kindly let us know ahead of time (i.e. charcoal for the small grill outside). Samantha was wonderful as a host all around. She was always reachable via text message/email/phone call and made sure we felt most comfortable during our stay. She even helped find small personal belongings we had left behind after the trip! I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful and quiet getaway!

Linda was very prompt with responses and it was a very smooth process all the way through. Home is just as pictured, very clean and well stocked with more than just essentials. Pleasant surprise opening the fridge to a bottle of Boordy Sangria- which just so happens to be my favorite :) The kitchen was perfect for cooking/baking, which we did a lot of. We had great weather and really enjoyed relaxing in the pool and on the sun deck. My children had a blast playing with all of the kids toys, finding different games and activity kits all around the house! Would definitely return, this is a very nice, well-managed home!!

We had a lovely time at this modern home. The decor and architecture are just beautiful. It was a bit too cold to use the playroom with our kids (a fun, thoughtful space for little ones beneath the house), but we did enjoy the fireplace. Overall, we had a great time in the open, sunlit space relaxing with our family and cooking in the gourmet kitchen. The ride up to the house is pretty steep right before you get to the house, as is the wooded area behind the house. Even with the weather a bit chilly, we were able to explore the woods. We hope to come back for a longer stay and enjoy the beautiful views!

Great house. Words to describe: Roomy, ultra modern, huge/beautiful kitchen, nice bathrooms. The house is fully stock, so basically all you need to bring are food and clothes. They even have a washer and dryer so you can do your laundry. We didn't meet the host or the owner, but they were available by text/phone and easy to reach. Bed, blankets, towels were fantastic (though better pillows in the kids room would be nice). Glowing review, but please improve on the following: 1) Please provide (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Map links to the trash dump area. Impossible to follow the directions on provided document and verbal description to the location was not helpful (thought the host was trying super hard to be helpful). Better to take a screenshot of direction from house to dump area. 2) GPS ((SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps, Apple Maps, Garmin) won't help you find the location. Again, a screenshot to the actual location in the documentation would be super helpful. End conclusion: 9/10 would go again. (1 point deduction for hard to find directions and the tenant having to take trash to dump site... it's like 3+ miles away... I think)

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Linda's mountainside getaway! The home was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. All the appliances and fixtures are top-notch and clean. The archery set and playroom were a hit with my 7-year-old son, and my toddler loved the sandbox and riding her scooter on the large deck. We were there in spring, so the deck was perfect for the warm afternoons, but the covered porch allowed us to still be "outside" when it was chilly and rainy. The only thing we were a little surprised by was that the house is in a neighborhood, so there are other homes around. This was not a negative for us by any means, and we were never bothered by noise but just something to be aware of. If you're expecting mountain solitude (which we weren't) this may not be the place for you. We thoroughly enjoyed this modern home for our first trip to the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, and have already recommended it to our friends.

House was beautiful. Exactly like the photos. Plenty of space for a small group or larger family. The house is tucked away in a beautiful wooded area...I disagree with a previous review that said there are neighbors...this is a private retreat tucked away with only one other cabin even remotely nearby. Very private despite the modern open feel. Linda is an excellent host and we will be back!!

This was our second stay -- this time with a 14-month old. The house had pretty much everything we needed for her. A crib, plenty of toys (including toys for the bath), and the awesome playroom underneath the deck. We were excited to use the screened porch this time (last time the weather was too cold). It was nice to eat dinner out there but the bugs came out to bite at sunset -- not much to do about that though, they were really tiny (smaller than mosquitoes). Overall, a great stay!

Linda was very prompt and helpful with communications before the trip. Kaye was available and very communicative as well in meeting me for check-in. The property is as amazing as it looks in the pictures. The kitchen is well stocked and the towel were especially fluffy. The front porch is great for lounging. The mountain is very quiet and relaxing, and within driving distance from a lot of nice wineries and small towns like Strasburg and Woodstock. Winchester is also close by if you're looking for a bigger town. Would definitely come back again. Also they have great taste in movies.

The house is quite nice and well maintained. Very good for a couple or small family with the children's room. It is located in a sparse development, but w/ exception of house next door, it feels relatively secluded and lovely view off the balcony and windows. Given the location, not a lot of nearby options for food in immediate vicinity but if you're willing to drive 30 minutes of so can find more variety. The host lives across the country so we were in the hands of Kaye, who greeted us when we arrived but had no/little interaction for the time we were there. No major issues although the thermostat suddenly dropped to 55 during a cold evening so we had to adjust that ourselves for the next evenings. Unfortunately, our experience with the host and caretaker ended on quite a surprisingly sour and rude note. The simple story (of course from our side) was that we were accused of damaging the property and asked for money, when no such action occurred. Although misunderstandings can happen (my wife and I are Airbnb hosts), we were just as taken aback how the host did this as much as the nature of the accusations. No word or call from either host or Kaye to inquire or discuss, but a brusque online accusation (assumption really) on what in their mind happened. We had a clear explanation to prove we were not at fault and never heard from the host again (either apology or further follow-up). So a very disappointing experience with the host. It really ruined our experience, as we were wrongfully accused and felt so untrusted. It's a shame as it was altogether unnecessary as a simple call or exchange as common courtesy would have prevented the situation. Perhaps this is due to the nature of the host not being on site and Kaye feeling quite paranoid about reporting things. So would caution folks to document damages they notice so they are not in for a similar rude surprise when they leave.

The perfect place to get away. Tiernan and Rachel have built a beautiful and unique home that was a true joy to stay in. Windows galore!

If you want rustic, this is your place. This was truly an authentic cabin experience... well, with WiFi - ha! (The WiFi worked great). This was a very relaxing place. Well worth it.

If you like rustic it is great. Lots of hiking near

Beautiful lodge with great views of the Shenandoah Valley. Comfortable sleeping amenities and kitchen. Vicki was very welcoming and available to help with any issues. Bathroom amenities were great, amazing soap and shower.

for an affordable, rustic getaway this was just what I was looking for. plenty of heaters available to keep you warm during the winter months :) being able to bring a pet along is such a bonus! vicky was really sweet and accommodating

We enjoyed our stay at this little jewel of a cabin. You feel like you've walked back in time and truly get the sensation of "unplugging". The cabin was pretty cold but Vicki provided an electric blanket that kept us warm downstairs. I look forward to returning in the near future!

This 1830s log cabin was the perfect spot for us to have some down time, play games, read, watch movies, and take day-trips for great hikes (beautiful views!) & local beer. The small downtown is just 3 miles away, with places for coffee, live music, and organic, vegetarian chili. Though the cabin shares a yard with Vicki's home cabin, you definitely feel like you have your own privacy. The view of the cows & valley below is a short walk away from the cabin, and a great spot to enjoy a beer or cup of tea. We were thrilled to find somewhere that we could bring our dog along with us, and have a kitchen with a real range & oven where we could make some home-cooked meals. The cabin is cozy and well stocked with games and VHS tapes--quite a selection of each. We definitely would recommend this cabin to others looking for a "get away" spot.

Great location. Vicki was easy to get In touch with. We enjoyed our stay.

This cabin was a rustic dream retreat. It had all the basic amenities one would need while also being a welcome escape from excessive bustle & connectivity. Vicki was 100% available whenever I had a question, and offered lots of welcome suggestions and ideas for things to do and see nearby. The wi-fi was actually much better than advertised. The cabin is clean and cozy and comfortable.

What a wonderful find!! Doran's cottage was very clean, inviting and exactly as the pictures depicted. She was pleasant and very responsive to our questions. Great location. Not far off I-81 and many amenities in Strasburg. Very easy keyless entry, fun decor and very homey. Comfortable bed, full kitchen, clean, modern bathroom. We only met her briefly as we had a very busy stay. Nice lady. Thank you, Doran. We will be in touch again for our next stay in Strasburg. Sweet blessings, Peter and Patricia.

Doran's is a lovely place near the mountains and Doran was a great host. Left us a bottle of wine to enjoy after a long drive, which was a great trip.

Beautiful spot in the quaint town of Strasburg. It was peaceful & tranquil yet in walking distance of restaurants & shops. The apartment itself was beautifully decorated & felt like a calm oasis. Doran went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. My 3 year old was so happy there (as was I). Can't say enough good things about this place really. Top notch!

While I didn't get to meet Doran, she did a wonderful job communicating to facilitate a smooth check-in and stay. Her place worked great for my brief retreat -- I especially loved that it was only about 30-35 min from the north entrance of Shenandoah National Park.

Waaay nicer than the pics and description... which were great to start Wonderful experience and great quiet location (in a quiet neighborhood) We ate at a nana's just minutes away via car...great find as well Great job for a first timer!!

Doran's cottage is amazing. So comfortable and so charming. It is well stocked with all the amenities you could hope for. Charming touches everywhere including art from local artists and personal notes, snacks and more.

Marguerite and Drew's place is just as described and exactly what we were looking for. Our room had a panoramic view of the river and was very quiet. We enjoyed sitting on the porch with Drew and learning about the local community and region. You're just up the road from the quaint town of Wardensville and have access to good hiking, bird-watching, etc. If you like music, try to time your stay when Bud's Collective is playing one of their monthly gigs two miles away at Capon Crossing. Can't recommend Drew and Marguerite's place and the region highly enough.

What a lovely bohemian oasis! As described, this property offered tranquility and convenience at a great price. Marguerite was pleasant and accommodating and went out of her way to ensure our comfort and share a little about the history of the quaint home and grounds. Our coffee was ready and waiting for us in the morning allowing us a lazy morning to relax and enjoy our beautiful river view. We will return!

Drew was so good to keep in touch as our arrival was delayed. While staying in their home and meeting them was a treat, sleeping for me was an issue since their home sits really close to a main highway with lots of night truck traffic. The setting is lovely and has a marvelous history! Marguerite gave us a tour of the spring house, which was worth charging admission! They are in the process of remodeling their house, and bringing it up to date, & had done a good job making it welcoming in the middle of construction projects! Only the road noise made it less than wonderful. The setting is certainly rural and pretty. And they were great to visit with! Drew even made his 'overnight oats' for me for breakfast. Yum!

This was a last minute trip for some birthday self-care. Couldn't have found a better place. Marguerite and Drew were both so welcoming. I was able to instantly relax and found myself taking an unexpected nap after reading outside by their natural spring pond with trout swimming around. The description of the grounds was very accurate -- it was as an easy drive from DC but still felt like I was far from home. They are both so warm and I enjoyed good conversation over some breakfast and coffee. Thank you!!

Drew and Marguerite were very responsive to questions asked before we arrived. They made sure we could check in when we wanted between the designated times and checked on us to see that all was good. The grounds are stunning. A great place to get away from it all and just relax!

Were visiting Winchester and stayed for a night. Secluded and peaceful - which is exactly what we were looking trying to break from the city routine. She has 3 rooms with great views of the river, and we were free to choose anyone. Has a pretty cool heating unit. Has running wifi( although not super fast). If we plan to visit Winchester again, will stay there again for sure.

The house was nice and clean. The hosts were friendly and engaging. Breakfast was tasty and the setting was beautiful. I plan on returning.

Marguerite and Drew greeted me upon arrival, they were kind and friendly without being overbearing. I was given a tour of the home and property then shown to my room and bathroom. The house was very clean and bright with cheerful colors. The drive to the house was so beautiful with the fall foliage and view of the river and pond. My hosts were available if I needed help and make a lovely breakfast the day I left. I highly recommend this location!

It's a great house, clean and comfortable.

Very beautiful & spacious! Would definitely stay again!

Liz is great and very thoughtful. Check in was easy and flawless, especially with the code system on the handle. The house is walking distance to a small store and a river in the backyard. There are many hiking trails and lots of cool civil war history in the area. The place was clean and the back deck was beautiful. We really enjoyed our time here and would love to stay again.

Elizabeth was great to deal with. The listing was accurate and it was clean and a great place to stay.

Oh, the screened porch! It was like being in a treehouse. It was so lovely to sit here in the morning with our coffee. I could have hung out on the porch all day. The house, which looks like it was smartly renovated recently, is charming and tastefully decorated. The nicely-equipped kitchen had all the gear we needed to prepare meals. The street is quiet. Elizabeth was the perfect host.

We stopped in at Shenandoah Siesta as a halfway point on our transect of the Appalachians from the Adirondacks to Upstate SC. Siesta is a good description (although we stopped overnight) as it was a restful pause on the trip. Quiet and peaceful, the refrigerator stocked with refreshments for all our tastes (5 of us, aged 65-21 and a dog). Porch in front and screen porch behind with access to a large dog run beyond the back yard. We cooked ourselves dinner and then enjoyed a restful sleep in comfortable beds before leaving early the next morning. It would have been a nice place to hang out longer, but we were on a tight schedule. Less expensive and much more relaxing but just as convenient as a freeway-side motel!

Me along with some girlfriends planned a weekend getaway to shenandoah. Elizabeth's place is located in a very quite and serene neighborhood. She was very accomodative of the extra people. The place is very close to a bunch of wineries and we took advantage of that. Would like to visit again!

My family and I had a great time. The house is well appointed with all that you would need. I would definitely go back to this property.

John was an amazing host! The house was close to Luray caverns as well as skyline drive in Shenendoah that we wanted to go to. The house was very well maintained and we enjoyed our stay there. Definitely recommend John and his house! Five star experience!

I thought that this place was very nice, very clean and affordable. Enjoyed it a lot and it has a nice view. Recommend this stay to anybody.

My boyfriend and I, along with another couple, stayed at John's place recently for a weekend to hike Shenandoah National Park. It was close to everything we were looking for (Skyline Drive, Grocery Stores etc.), clean and more space than the four of us were expecting. We also enjoyed coming back to grill and relax on the back deck after a long day of hiking and stopping in for breakfast at Christina's. Overall it was a great weekend!

Enjoyed the stay so much in this amazing house!

This home feels like home the moment you walk in. The owners could not be more gracious. They provide pretty much everything you could possibly need. There are toiletries in the baths. In the kitchen there is coffee for the pot, flavored creamer in the fridge, quick breakfast treats for the person on the go. Or.... you could savor the coffee on the wonderful deck. Not to mention a fireplace in the kitchen that comes on with a flip of a switch! There are menus, travel guides, etc. right on the kitchen table to help you enrich your stay. I was traveling with a Grandma and a teenager, they both loved the place! Grams was a little intimidated by the stairs, but she made it up and down no trouble.

Large and completely furnished, comfortable and easy access. The restaurant he suggested delivered and great food. No issues with locks as I found at other air bnb's. Fantastic stocked kitchen with everything and breakfast items. John was prompt, available and corresponded immediately. We decided this is one of our favorites and plan another trip in the future!

John's place was the perfect reach for my girlfriend and I during a road bike trip on Skyline drive. The neighborhood is a town home community, children were peacefully playing in the cul de sac when we arrived. It's a great base camp, the Jacuzzi in the master bedroom made for a perfect soak after a day of fun, and there was a bottle of Dr. Neal's epsom salt/bath oil ready to go. The entire home is well laid out, great for a group. I will keep this one in our list of places for future visits. John was a great communicator, and quickly replied to my request.

It was a positively beautiful home. John was extremely communicative and very helpful with instructions on how to access the home. Once inside, it feels like your own living space. We would visit again, and recommend it to anyone.

Awesome air bnb. Beautiful accommodations, so much space, land, brand new building, and a fire pit. Loved our stay, Russel is awesome.

What a find! Adorable suite located close to town of Woodstock. Well appointed and very comfortable. Awesome views off the back porch looking up at the green hillside. Part of a building Russell built himself that will eventually also be an operating tap room! Great host, great communication, we highly recommend staying!

Fantastic get away from the city. Beautiful location on a large farm on the Shenandoah river. Very secluded and quiet. Close to historic Woodstock with good brewery. Many hiking trails nearby. Doug is a great host, everything was perfect.

This was a great getaway from DC. The farm is a peaceful retreat that sits between the South Fork of the Shenandoah River and the mountains. There's plenty of outdoor opportunities with great hiking nearby and casual spots in Woodstock for dining.

We made a very last minute decision to visit the area; I sent a message via Airbnb to the host to ask some details, and Doug responded back promptly. We found the location to be perfect; it is very private and quiet, there is no road noise etc., however it is only a few short miles drive to downtown Woodstock. Doug responded to several questions about the area, and we enjoyed a trip out to the Woodstock Tower - Doug was helpful also because my GPS indicated it was a 50 minute roundabout drive from the property to Woodstock Tower, however there was a quicker route of about 20 minutes. We also went to a local winery and had dinner at Joe's steakhouse in town. The efficiency was very clean, and while it is not fancy, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only drawback for us is that we would prefer one larger bed over over the twin size beds, but we knew that when we decided to stay there, and we liked it enough that we would stay there again.

What an amazing, secluded space. A total relaxing space. Very introspective and inspirational.

We arrived later than expected. Doug was so gracious with our checkin, and left the door to The Efficiency open for us when we arrived. We didn't get to see much around the area that evening, but we were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful view when we woke up that morning. The room was clean and spacious. We would love to stay another time!

If you want privacy, peace, and an awesome view to look at - here's the perfect get away!

A great place for a quiet winter weekend.

Doug's place was great. It provided all of the basic amenities you need for a trip away from home. The efficiency is located in the middle of an open field tucked in between the mountains. It's also next to a beautiful river and Doug dropped us off at a place on the river to canoe back to the efficiency. It was a great place to stay!

Ron and his plot of land are absolutely wonderful. He is very nice and is quick to respond to any/all questions. The property is a large field that's fenced in with a woodline on the far side with a walkdown to a pretty nice stream/creek. The creek was pretty big (Springtime) while we were there so it was more like a river. The whole experience was very hospitable and we will definitely come back.

The cabin was exactly like the listing advertised. The views are great and corn hole and a camp fire were a fine way to pass a Saturday afternoon. There were extra blankets in the closets. Access to the cabin was very clear. Fort Valley is beautiful, and there are many great hiking trails nearby.

Anna gave us great detailed instructions on everything needed, as well as left information at the cabin. The information on hiking trails was extremely helpful. The cabin is just perfect for getting away from the concrete jungle for a while. The kitchen has everything you need so you don't have to go to civilization if you don't want to.

This was a perfect retreat for my boyfriend, dog and I. Anna gave us great instructions and was very helpful in how to get there and anything we would need for the cabin, as well as with questions around things to do around the area. We loved staying in the cabin which was well equipped and perfect for our stay. We loved using the fireplace. The surrounding area was beautiful and had a great view into the valley. There were also many hikes and activities close by.

Anna's little cabin is the perfect get-away for those looking for a relaxing vacation. The cabin is extremely cozy and we enjoyed using the fireplace and outdoor fire pit! The views were also incredible and even though it was a bit chilly we loved sitting out on the rocking swing and looking out at the view. We would definitely visit again!

If you like being out in the beautiful woods and not have a long drive this is the place for you! The air is fresh and we had a beautiful day to hike around a bit and sat by the outside fire. Lovely!

Our stay at this Shenandoah cabin was everything we were hoping for. We spent time relaxing by the cozy fire place and exploring the beautiful outdoors surrounding the property. A short walk through the woods gave us access to trails of the George Washington Forest and amazing views of the creek. The magical place offered the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation. The hosts were great to work with and made our weekend getaway simple and easy. We slept great in the comfortable beds, the kitchen was well outfitted, and a nice warm shower was a great end to our day outdoors. If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, and easy getaway - this is the place for you.

We had the most lovely stay at Anna's cabin. I would highly recommend it if you need a break away from city life.

The cabin is located on a gentle hillside overlooking beautiful farmland and a stream. It's wonderfully cozy, well-stocked with kitchen supplies and full of incredible views from every room. Anna's communication was excellent. The place was peaceful, comfortable and had all the essentials. Very easy to get in and out of town. Everything in the home worked very well (heaters, shower, stove, etc.) which is unique for a rustic cabin in the mountains. Stand outside at night, turn off all the lights and look up into the stars for an incredible sight. Great time!

Two friends and I took our sons out to the "glammed out" bunkhouse on Glenmont Farm over Mother's Day weekend. Our wives had requested a "spa day" and with it pouring rain in Richmond we decided to head west. Glenmont Farm is a spectacular property nestled in the valley bordering the George Washington National Forest. The bunkhouse is situated above and in back of the property with commanding views of the valley and mountains. The national forest and hiking trails are right out the back door. Accommodations were updated, clean and just what we were looking for with lots of outdoor deck space and a great fire pit. Keith, the owner, couldn't have been nicer, giving us recommendations and tips for activities. He went above and beyond by giving our 12 year old boys driving lessons in his "gator." If you are looking for a mountain getaway, this is the place. We'll be back.

This home is beyond adorable. BUT besides that this is just the fix for those looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy nature. Two of my favorite experiences were waking up and having a cup of coffee on the front porch watching the sunrise, and sitting on the porch at night watching the stars.

Beautiful views in a quiet valley. Great proximity to trails. Communication was great.

The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Nice little getaway with breathtaking views.
