Gabe's Getaway was such a happy place to be, from the friendly animals to the thoughtful and fun decor. It was the perfect spot to visit the National Park as well as a few of the amazing wineries. Wish we lived closer so we could visit often!

Relaxing & enjoyed seeing the animals!

My partner and I had such a fun time staying here for a weekend! The property with all the animals was so fun, and the owner was so helpful suggesting nearby activities and showing us all her animals. Nicely in between Shenandoah and the National Forest.

Rustic little property in the country, so if you’re looking to get away from it all and introduce the little ones to the responsibilities of owning farm animals, this is the place!

We really enjoyed our stay at Gabe's Getaway. It was relaxing and peaceful aside from the expected typical farm noises of sheep and goats. The alpacas were friendly but I have never met an animal as friendly as the cat that was determined to be pet each time we came or went from the property. My partner particularly liked watching the ducks waddle around the farm. We took a trip out to see Blackwater Falls in WV one of the days and it was worth the drive! Overall we had a really great time, thank you!

We loved our short stay at the farm, a lot of cool animals and very entertaining for us and our toddler ☺️

We were warmly welcomed by Wilbur the ambassador cat. Val and Brad are engaging hosts who introduced us to all the many adorable animals on the farm and made thoughtful recommendations for things to do in the area that my visually impaired sister might enjoy. Our accommodations were snug, cozy, and decorated in all the themes of the farm animals. Delicious fresh eggs for breakfast! The pond is like having a private park. We’ll be back!

I really enjoyed the time I spent here. The apartment was very homey and welcoming, complete with Wilbur the cat. My son and I enjoyed getting to know the animals and chatting with Cindy, who was taking care of them while we visited. She gave us inside info about the animals’ history and personalities, and really made our visit a joy.

Great Farm animals and facility

We had a short stay due to a minor accident. It was an adorable place, but things to remember; it’s above an actual barn, and a very cozy little place.

My husband and I brought our two kids (7 yo and 3 yo) for Spring Break/Easter break. The kids loved the animals and enjoyed the cozy loving space decked out with kid friendly books and stuffies. Valerie and Brad were wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcomed. The setting was scenic and peaceful, and allowed us to jet off each day to explore something new. We tried a new small coffee shop each day in different towns, visited Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, and two different playgrounds. Excellent family vacation, would recommend!

I can’t remember a more enjoyable getaway as the two nights spent at Val and Brad’s beautiful property. The apartment was so cozy with a view of the animals from every room. Wilbur, the cat mascot, visited us each day, and Jude the chocolate alpaca stole my heart! Val and Brad are not only diligent hosts but they are compassionate, lovely people. Their dedication to maintaining their home creates a welcoming environment, and the animals they rescue and care for are a testament to their dear hearts. We hope to return one day with our grandchildren. It is a memorable experience!

Had a wonderful two days with my daughter at Gabe’s Getaway. We picked Gabe's for the farm animals that surrounded the property. It did not disappoint. My daughter was thrilled. The cabin on top of the barn was clean and comfortable. Very charming with lots of Alpaca decor. The wool products in the boutique were beautiful and well made. If your kids like horses, rabbits, goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, and alpacas (amazing creatures) then they will love this place. Will come back again. The property owners were very friendly and responsive.

We loved our stay here! Very fitting for kids we had such a relaxing time enjoying the animals and playing games since we were rained in. Plenty of stuff to cook with and toys for kids to enjoy.

Unlike any stay we’ve ever had, in the heart of a small farm. We were surrounded by farm animals in the center of Virginia. The kids were stunned by the animals outside, zip line, and location.

Had a great time at the farm in Shenandoah Valley

We had a great time at Gabe's Getaway. My girlfriend was absolutely obsessed with all the animals (and there were so many more than I was expecting!) Brad and Valerie were great hosts and allowed us to tag along with feeding all their adorable animals in the morning. We would definitely come back!

Valerie and Brad are incredibly warm, welcoming and wonderful hosts, and there is nothing like waking up to alpacas, goats, pigs, horses, sheep, ducks, chickens, and rabbits. ❤️ Our kids are already asking when we will be back. I was also able to get some work done, as the wifi is great. Thank you for such an unforgettable time!

We enjoyed the cozy apartment. The decor was super cute with plenty of alpacas! We loved all of the animals on the farm and we loved that we could bring our dogs along. We didn’t get to go hiking due to high winds and ice but we enjoyed scenic drives and relaxation at the apartment.

This is a great place especially for children to see lots of animals and learn about small farm life.

My husband and I stayed here over Christmas while visiting family in my hometown. We brought our two dogs and enjoyed every minute of our trip. It was like staying at our home away from home. This place is great for all ages and definitely for animal lovers. A hidden gem in Broadway, Virginia!

Extremely cozy space. Loved watching the animals and hiking/hanging out in the area. Even when it was snowing and the roads were too icy to go out, we had a great time just hanging at the getaway. Would absolutely visit again!

Everything was very clean and the apartment was cozy and comfortable. My family and I had a great time. It was quiet but close to the nearest town and lots of things to see and do. My son loved the animals. Would definitely recommend this for couples or families!

We stayed for 2 nights. It was really cold when we got there and the apartmet was freezing. Once we had the heaters going it was comfortable. The fire pit was cozy and the kids had a good time making smores. We all enjoyed seeing the animals and walking the grounds. It was a quick drive to nearby attractions such as the Luray Zoo and Luray Caverns. We went out to eat for my husbands birthday at a local Mexican restaurant and had a good time. We are keeping this one on our short list.

Awesome hidden getaway at a convenient location if you’re exploring the Shenandoah NP area. Felt awesome meeting Wilbur, Ranger and others!

Valerie and Brad's place was so beautiful, cozy and relaxing. We went to have a night away from the city for my husband's birthday and it exceeded our expectations. Our family (especially our 2 year old) fell in love with the property and all of the animals! There was a farm of animals and the Christmas decor was such a special touch. The host were so personable and really welcomed us to their home. They even shared some of their eggs with us for breakfast:). We felt totally relaxed after our stay and hope to return again in the near future. Don't hesitate to book your stay here!

Retreat from the big city. Chillax and enjoy the animals around us, feed the horses, see the stars (amazing!) and wander around nearby downtowns. Enjoyed a game of horseshoes and just sitting by the pond chatting. Nice way to slow down. Valerie and Brad are great hosts who love to teach about their animals. And Wilbur the host cat is just as welcoming and friendly as can be. Loved every minute we spent there!

One of our favorite places to go! Valerie, Brad and all of their animals are just the best :-) Thank you again for a magical stay.

My middle schooler and I started visiting Gabe's Getaway when he was in kindergarten, and he loves it so much that we keep going back every year. The hosts are always kind and full of good suggestions of things to do in the region, and they clearly enjoy sharing their love of their farm and animals with guests.

I have no idea where to start with how wonderful this place is. It’s truly magical. The hosts are amazing and leave you be unless you want to talk (and I did)- I learned SO much about the animals they have there and got to pet an adorable alpaca named Jude, a sheep, a horse and watch all the other animals running around. The place is much more roomy than the pictures let on (my husband is 5’11”, I’m 5’9” and we aren’t small) and we had plenty of space without bumping into each other. It’s clean, away from the city (but a short drive away and you have lots of activity). It’s perfect for a getaway to stay in and be cozy or explore all there is to offer nearby. We are already thinking of when we can go back! It was a dream to be there!

Clean and quaint. The farm animal's make the stay fun.
