Great time in Shenendoah
Property and hosts are superb!! We had a great time with a beautiful view. The sunrises were awesome. The drive in a little tricky but once in well worth it and after a time or two not bad at all. House was quiet and secluded. Very nice for time with my wife. We were 1/2 hour from the park, were treated very well and would highly recommend this property to anyone!! It was wonderful !!

Thank you Tessy!
My husband and I truly enjoyed our weekend stay at the Guesthause. Tessy and her husband are great hosts. Their property is the perfect getaway from everyday life and we can’t wait to be back. You won’t regret booking your stay here. The view and peace you feel from being immersed in nature is refreshing. You’ll never want to leave.

Birthday Weekend
My wife and myself both enjoy nature, and this place did not disappoint. Honestly picking the place strictly on the view alone did not disappoint. We looked forward to waking up early for the sun rise and coffee, enjoyed the winding ride up and down the mountain, and counted the minutes until sunset just to watch every evening.

Beautiful spot for a self-retreat
I spent a week on a self-meditation retreat. The location and the facilities were beautiful. The view is amazing - the pictures are accurate. Tessy and Steve were great hosts - very helpful. I got to walk part of the Appalachian Trail nearby - saw a bear cross the path. There are wineries nearby, though I did not go to any. Great place for a getaway.

Beautiful Gateway
My family had to drive up to Virginia for my cousins graduation from UVA. So this was a quick trip but seeing the views from the house were so beautiful, we wished we could have stayed longer! Make sure you have 4 wheel drive to get here, it is quite a steep ride up the mountain.

Wonderful Mountain Stay
I loved staying here. Steve and Tess were very kind and welcoming. The house had everything you would need and was very clean. The views from the porch were simply amazing. It was wonderful to be able to relax in such a lovely location. I would highly recommend staying here.

Great view at a really nice place
The Guest house was really nice. Had everything you would need to stay and good attention to detail. The view is the main selling point. Easy to hang out at, which is good because.... The drive up the mountain is no joke. A solid 5 miles of narrow dirt roads curving back and forth and up some pretty steep slopes. Plan on 20-25 minutes both up and down from the base of the mountain. You'll likely only be doing it once a day. This was the only downside to staying at this location.

Above the clouds
It’s hard to imagine a more serene setting than this. If you’re looking for an escape into nature while having the accessibility to a great home to return to, go ahead and book it. Tessy was an amazing host and went above and beyond to answer any questions or concerns I had. The Guesthouse is in close proximity to the main house, but the hosts give you the privacy to enjoy your stay, although I’m sure it would’ve been a pleasure to meet Tessy and Steve. This place is 5/5 for a reason.

Such a beautiful view
This is a really great little getaway. The views are truly amazing and the property is nice. This is not a posh place, but it is comfortable and clean, perfect after a long day hiking. Note, you will have to drive to get to trails. Overall a great stay and we will definitely go again.

Restful getaway, gorgeous views
Steve and Tess were wonderful hosts. Very responsive and helpful. The directions to the property were very helpful and we were able to make it up in our Toyota Corolla, though you may feel more comfortable in a SUV at some parts in the road. The views were lovely, the place clean and inviting and peaceful. Steve took us to a place where we can access the AT and came a pick up of us again we were finished. Definitely would visit again.
