Wicked cute!
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.

Amazing!
We visited as a family of four and our pup. Our first time using Vrbo and I’m happy we did. This was a great little getaway for our family who loved getting some outdoor time. This is definitely the perfect location for nature/animal lovers. Valerie and her husband made us feel more than welcome and the kids even got to meet all the animals and help feed some too. Any bar for hosts you may have, they well exceed that!! I couldn’t recommend enough making sure you take some time to visit here soon!!

Enjoyable get away, relaxation and adventure
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!

Gabe’s Getaway was amazing!
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!
