Our stay started with a strange check in method. The tools available in the app were not used and it was only through messaging that the check in process happened. We were given a code with instructions on how to open and lock the door and nothing else. There were no house rules, instructions, how to’s, or personal recommendations for any activities or dining in the area. There are some flyers that could just as easily be picked up at a rest area. Once we got in the cabin we were initially stunned by the vast number of decorations which later we realized severely detracted from our stay. The clutter is so bad that there is literally no place to put your clothes or luggage other than the couches in the living room. All other cabinets or dressers were occupied as storage for yet more decorations. At this point the cuteness of the decorations had worn off and we started to see the multitude of flaws: disorganized kitchen with some of the dishes and silverware dirty, several pieces of furniture appear as if they were pulled from the roadside and “repaired”, the arm of one of the couches was broken and covered to hide the flaw, the front door doesn’t seal, and the back door is missing part of the frame (but it is okay, they painted under where it normally goes and mounted the back door safety latch there). The bed is far from comfortable and a good nights sleep will not be had in it unless it is chemically induced. We paid for two nights and stayed one. I would not recommend.

While some people may not be bothered by the filth of this place, I couldn’t stay there even overnight. From the ground in grime on the broken arm of the couch to the stained pillowcase in the bedroom, the place was too much for me. In addition to that, the used washcloth that was mentioned by a previous visitor was still in the shower! I had to think long and hard about writing this review, but I thought that other people may be as turned off as I was. Fortunately, I was able to get a clean well-kempt hotel room for less than the cost of the house. I realize everyone might not have that option. So, if you are the least bit picky about your accommodations, please look around for other choices in the area.

This place was great!!! The only mild complaint was a dirty wash rag in the shower but the host was fantastic and we loved the place!!! We will rebook again

The house was great, it had more amenity's than listed such as a fire pit and grill. Even though it was only myself and my girlfriend, we plan on returning with her child as there was ample room for 2 more people to stay. Home owner was quick to reply and gave me local outing recommendations. Enjoy this house, we sure as hell did!!!!

A great escape from the city. House came equipped with all needed cooking supplies, and was decorated for the season. Thanks Karens!

15 Minutes from the Thornton gap entrance and 30 from Front Royal. Had everything we needed, and Karen was wonderful and responded to our requests quickly. Right near downtown!

We had a nice stay at this property. Located in a residential neighborhood and close to things in town and a short drive to outdoor activities. Manager was communicative and helpful. Some of the furnishings and housewares were older and a bit worn, but manageable.
