Summary:
Escape to one of Front Royal's hidden gems, "The Honeymoon Cabin" offers couples & more the opportunity to retreat and sit among the stars overlooking the community's "Lake of Clouds". Whether a romantic getaway, solo adventure, or gathering of friends, you'll find relaxation among the stars over distance towns or the outline of mountains across the Shenandoah Valley.
*Romantic decor including fresh flowers, balloons, bubbly, chocolate, and mood lighting is available on request for $320.
The Space:
"The Honeymoon Cabin" draws its name from countless travelers that have enjoyed special occasions and intimate events among the retreat's stunning valley views, cozy settings, and fully equipped kitchen. As you approach the cabin, you'll immediately be drawn to the expansive deck wrapping around the front and side to provide views in nearly every direction. Full-year and seasonal lighting line the runway deck approaching the main door which leads into the cabin's open living, dining area, and kitchen. If crafting that perfect meal for your loved one is in the cards, you'll find full-sized appliances and all the accessories, cookware, and bakeware to make it a reality.
The property has two bedrooms and desk options to take care of the pesky emails that might draw your attention. Reliable high speed internet can keep you connected for video calls or streaming movies. A full-sized bathroom with washer and dryer round out the cabin's interior spaces.
Perhaps what will draw your attention the most is enjoyed behind two large sliding glass doors that overlook the valley. Step through and you'll find comfortable seating and the cabin's hot tub ready for you to relax and recharge among the starts. Note that the hot tub is best enjoyed by 2-3 people, so while we welcome groups of up to 4, the design of our deck best accommodates a smaller hot tub to provide space for seating and maximize the best views.
Before, during, and after your stay, we're known for happily offering and suggesting local favorites for wineries, restaurants, hiking and more. Our goal is to remove the stresses of the cookie cutter experience, so expect plenty of the small things that help make your experience memorable.
