Perfect for a little romantic getaway in the mountains. The home was cozy and spotless, and the kitchen was great for making breakfast and dinner. Felt like home away from home. Enjoyed drinks on the front porch looking at the mountains and the wonderful hot tub on the back deck. Even saw two groundhogs that hung out in the back yard. Close to Veritas, Silverback Distillery, and not too far from Devil’s Backbone, all of which we visited. It was very easy to get anywhere we were going. Ashley was very responsive and we really appreciated an early check in. Will definitely stay again, next time in the fall when it’s cooler.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Ashley’s place. It was clean, cozy, and inviting. The location was beautiful and we loved having coffee while sitting in the front porch rocking chairs each morning!

Absolutely perfect stay! The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The hot tub was the highlight—so peaceful and private, surrounded by nature. We loved unwinding there after a day of exploring. Communication with the host was super easy, and check-in was a breeze. If you’re looking for a quiet escape with a touch of luxury, this is the spot. Already dreaming of our next trip back!

This place was amazing! My boyfriend and I loved the area and the property, we will definitely be coming back. The views are breathtaking, the atmosphere is so calming, and not to mention the hot tub and fire pit were amazing additions as well. You could see the stars so perfectly out there. This place is perfect for those that like the peace of the mountains. Ashley was a great host who was quick at responding and making sure we were set up for success prior to our stay. You won't regret booking at this beautiful place!

Ashley’s place was perfect! The location and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. The place was super clean and the area was peaceful, quiet, and easy to find. The hot tub was pristine which we especially appreciated. The bed and pillows were super comfy - we didn’t want to leave! So glad we found this place and that it was available for our motorcycle adventures to Skyline Drive.

This property was everything I wanted and more. My best friend and I spent my birthday weekend here and we were beyond impressed with this beautiful home. It was perfect for what we needed and we felt right at home immediately. The bed was extremely comfortable and so was the couch in the living room. From cozy blankets to the stunning decor, the relaxing hot tub, almost 360 mountain views, I couldn’t have asked for a better bday weekend getaway. Our gracious host, Ashley, was super communicative and all instructions for check-in and check-out were crystal clear. She is an excellent host and I am already excited to come back and stay at this property again!

This home was absolutely beautiful! Very clean and well maintained! You can tell Ashley takes pride in being a host; she has certainly thought of everything and more! This home was centrally located to many wineries we visited. There are neighbors on both sides of the property, but we still felt like we had privacy. The neighbors seemed respectful and didn’t experience any issues with noise. If we return to this area, we will definitely book this home again. Thank you Ashley for being such a great host!!

Ashley’s place was wonderful! The views were gorgeous. There were a lot of great details. There were magnetic blinds in every room with curtains. Great for sleeping. The kitchen had more than you needed. The couch was comfortable enough to sleep on. All the linens were clean and smelled fresh. She had suitcase holders. The hot tub was clean and nice. Everything worked well. Ashley communicated well and checked in a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed.
