A Little Piece of Heaven!

I’m so glad we found this VRBO! We needed a place that could house 5-6 people for several days that wouldn’t break the bank, and we found the perfect place. The hosts were wonderful and we wanted for literally nothing while we were there. The space was perfect for our needs, and the peace & quite of the location balanced the craziness of the weeklong graduation festivities. 10 out of 10. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful and big getaway in the VA mountains

The property was even better than the pictures and description! It was very spacious, clean, very well-stocked, and picturesque. The kitchen was large, and we even had fresh eggs and a bottle of wine waiting for from our hosts. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great. It was wonderful to drink coffee and tea outside on the porch with the woods and mountains in front of us. We would recommend this property highly and will definitely book again when we return.
