Less than expected
House was not as clean as I would have liked and have had in the past. Only half roll of t.p. in all bathrooms. No additional rolls...had to go to store. Beds downstairs...one was on floor and unmade. Trashcan had no trashbag and there were none in the house. No hangers in the closets. Small water heater...hot water runs out fast. No pantry helps...not even salt and pepper. A lot of little things that cost over $50 at the local Dollar General. I could have brought from home.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie & Randy Thompson

Host profile image
My wife and I are residents of Virginia Beach where we have raised 3 children. I grew up in the Valley and attended JMU so this mountain home gives us the perfect opportunity to 'come home.' That's why we decided on the name, 'Duke's Den.' All the school flags in the gameroom represent the schools our children have attended (and some still attending) but you'll notice that JMU dominates the decor.

Why they chose this property

My wife discovered this home for sale during a JMU Homecoming a few years ago. At the time, our son was attending and playing football for nearby Bridgewater College. This seemed like an ideal place for us to realize a long-held dream to find property in the area. We used it as a home base for his home games and now enjoy coming up to attend JMU games. I wish we had 'before' pictures to share, but picture a lot of orange shag carpet and dark paneling. The renovation was about a 4 month process but we think the results were worth it.

What makes this property unique

The location near the top of the mountain is unbeatable. The open floor plan is very conducive for friends and families to congregate at the large granite counter/bar that opens to the great room and stone fireplace. Great amenities at the property and very convenient to 4 seasons of area activities.
