One of the attractions of our HoriZEN home is the wilderness setting. Living surrounded by nature can put you in close contact with creatures great and small. Everything from bears, deer, snakes outside to lady bugs (no matter how fastidious the cleaning) inside can be encountered. Please make sure all doors and windows are closed and secured when entering or leaving the house and be observant of your surroundings when enjoying this bucolic setting! Do not leave food in your parked vehicle. Lock your car doors because the bears can get into unlocked doors and cause costly damage, which owners are not responsible for. Life in the mountains!
Enjoy your stay!

Lisa’s home in Afton, Virginia, truly lives up to its name, the horiZEN house. The stunning views from the house were breathtaking, providing a peaceful retreat for the weekend. The property was impeccably clean, and Lisa’s clear and warm communication made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a serene and beautiful getaway.

Had a great stay with a group of friends for a girl’s weekend! Very responsive and friendly host. House was even nicer than photos made it look. Only downside was hot tub was broken (huge bummer as this was the main selling point for our group), but the house owner gave us a discount on the house as a result which was really nice. Gorgeous views from the deck, close proximity to hiking and wineries. Recommend!

Our group of friends stayed here for a ski weekend and had an amazing time! Wintergreen was sold out, but we were able to go to massanutten resort which was about 45 minutes from the house. Everything about this house was exactly as described - everything was very well stocked and beautifully maintained. I spoke with Lisa multiple times leading up to and during our stay and she always replied quickly and was a great help. The pictures don't do the views justice!! We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly highly recommend!

We've stayed in Charlottesville every year around Thanksgiving to visit my father who is in a nursing home nearby, and this was our favorite house in 10 years! The views were incredible, the house was gorgeous and our host was so thoughtful about accommodating us and providing us with everything we could need while staying there with my family. Would highly recommend!
