It was everything we expected, peaceful, relaxing; just what was needed for my daughter and I to unwind and reset ourselves. Our first night we had a small problem with the power, but our host responded in a timely manner and checked in with us to make sure we didnt have any other issues. Overall a great experience and will definitely do it again.

Golden Ridge is exactly as advertised and more. I spent 4 nights, just me and my dog, escaping to quiet solitude with a pile of books and snacks. Neither of us wanted to leave! The hosts were attentive but not obtrusive and patient with my user error questions upon check in. The place is so lovely and peaceful. I hope to be back.

It was a wonderful few days..stayed 2 nights and 3 days and was a trip for my daughter's 12th birthday. It is truly a cabin in woods on a mountain..as city apartment renters we really enjoyed the privacy and quietness. We hope to be back! Great cabin!

We had at great time at the golden ridge cabin. We enjoyed the fire pit at night and playing cards out on the screened in porch. We love to cook, and the cabin has most everything you could possibly need. We watched movies, and sometimes just took in an afternoon nap. It was very nice and peaceful. We are already talking about how nice it would be in the winter months. I would recommend this cabin if you want to unplug and relax.

We enjoyed our week at Golden Ridge Cabin. It’s rustic but has been renovated to include modern amenities and furnishings. The cabin was very clean, a comfortable bed, and the area was very quiet. A short walk or drive to the bottom of the neighborhood takes you to a great river for swimming and a short trail into GW National Forest. Other trails, attractions, grocery stores, restaurants, etc are at least a 15 mile drive but the surrounding farmland makes the drive pleasant.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this rustic cabin in the mountains. It had all the modern conveniences we needed; fully stocked kitchen to do all your cooking, peaceful deck overlooking the mountains while listening to the birds singing, screened porch with hammock and chairs, cozy bedrooms, clean bathroom…

We had the absolute best time at this cabin. A small group of us wanted to get away and do absolutely nothing but curl up with a blanket, and read. We moved from the (extremely comfortable) couch, to the hammock on the screened porch, then to the chairs by the fire, it couldn’t have been more perfect. The interior was what sold me; it’s cozy, chic, warm, and perfectly tucked away in the woods. This trip will always hold a special place in my heart.

Had a lovely time at Golden Ridge Cabin. Great amenities & groovy decor. Far enough to be a great getaway, but close to so many fun & interesting things to do. Communication with host was seamless. Hope to visit again.

My wife and I absolutely loved our 4-night stay at the Golden Ridge Cabin. This was the best thought-out vacation rental we have seen yet. The drawers/cabinets and switches were all clearly labeled. We brought our own cookware and whatnot but didn't use them because all kitchen gadgets and doodads were already present! The furniture was comfy and just right for the space.
We spent many hours in the screened porch reading and playing games. The hammock was a great idea, we're going to hang one in our own screened porch now too! There are lights and fans, was very nice out there day and night, in sunny weather and the rain. The birds and the trees blowing in the wind were quite relaxing.
We would definitely come back to this cabin. Highly recommend booking a stay.

Husband and I went up with our goldendoodle, Cheryl and had a wonderful stay at the Golden Ridge Cabin. They had all the necessities there from Coffee to Toiletries. We had a wonderful time as it is close to many of the towns, hiking trails, and scenic views. The beds were comfortable and amenities are refreshing after a long day of adventuring in the great outdoors. Very nice kitchen set up, so if you decided to do a staycation at the cabin you could 100% cook all your meals at the cabin too. Would highly recommend checking this place out, but you definitely need an SUV or All-Terrain vehicle as the entirety of the roads to access the cabin are gravel, just as an FYI.

We absolutely loved our weekend stay. We actually live locally and wanted a “staycation” and can’t wait to go back!

This VRBO-friendly cabin was perfect for a couple (or two) to enjoy woodsy seclusion while working remotely. WiFi was fast and reliable. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating in, and cabin was even stocked with wood for the fire pit. During our stay, a large tree fell over the road while we were out. I contacted the owner and there was a crew there the next morning (on a Sunday) to remove it. Road leading up to the cabin was unpaved and narrow so took a little getting used to. Only letdown - neighborhood was not walking friendly and I was hoping for more trails close by (but did find one). Overall, we had a very pleasant week.

Did a quick fishing trip with my son. This cabin was very comfortable for the two of us and we looked forward to relaxing in comfort in the evenings. The ambience was just perfect for our little getaway!

What can I say? We loved our weekend stay at the Golden Ridge Cabin. The house is better than advertised, filled with great taste and a delightfully cozy mountain vibe. Oh, and a fully stocked kitchen! What more can you ask? We will be coming back and recommending it to friends and family. We are so happy that we have found this gem. Thank you for everything!

What a lovely cabin only 15-20 minutes from Harrisonburg. The cabin is rustic (in the way you want a cabin to be rustic) with so many charming details- from the little coffee nook to the outdoor string lights. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. We hope to book again!

Cozy, comfortable, and clean cabin. Well equipped with all necessities. My husband & I liked that it was away from town and off a literally beaten path LoL. Communication before and during stay was perfect!

The experience was superior to most accommodations available. Large rooms, clean floors and all the necessities of life. Amazingly close to the city to be so remote.

My wife and I live in the suburbs of NYC, and we would both say we like more urban environments. This cabin was a wonderful place to disconnect from it all. From the moment we stepped through the door, we felt the warmth of the rustic but beautiful interior, including the screened in porch which provided the ability to enjoy the sounds, smells and sights of the very wooded environment without the bugs. Check in and check out process was flawless, the cabin was very clean and well stocked, and the beds and furniture very comfortable. It’s also close to whatever we needed—shopping in Harrisonburg (just 15 minutes away), or hiking in the woods. Highly recommend!

We found the cabin as described, very clean, comfortable beds, lots of games, plenty of basic household items supplied. Two problems: we couldn't find the turn off from Rt 33 and called Jessica who guided us in - hopefully owner will correct that. Secondly, we were told the cistern system (water) was low and to bring drinking water. There was no running water at all. The owner comped the first night and said water would be coming. When we chose to leave in the morning, owner refunded all and was very nice about it. We're sorry we had the misfortune to experience this.

The cabin was perfect for our needs. We were visiting nearby streams for work and this was the perfect base camp. Nice and spacious, definitely met all of our needs!

Had a great time celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday, exploring the area and relaxing. Great cabin to relax and get away.

We walked in the door and fell in love with this place immediately. It has the vibe of a rustic mountain getaway, but the decor is fresh and there are tons of nice little touches throughout. The owners have given so much thought to making it comfortable, convenient and attractive. The kitchen was well-stocked with basics as well as plenty of extras. If you're not sure, contact the owner. He was very responsive, usually answering questions within the hour. The neighborhood was quiet during our visit. Seems like there's a mix of full and part-timers. The outdoor spaces are terrific--porch with a hammock, deck for dining, and a fire-it with chairs. Beds were super comfy, as were all the linens. Great Wifi. It's a perfect place to relax and unwind. We look forward to a return visit.
