Scenic mountain getaway with a firepit and amazing views of mountains and horses

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway with beautiful mountain views. Enjoy watching the horses framed by scenic mountains from this private mountain home located only 13 miles from the Shenandoah National Park Swift Run Gap entrance. The front porch with rocking chairs, the deck with a barbecue, and the large yard with a stone firepit makes the outdoor enjoyment even better. Scheduled horse brushing and feeding is available for a fee. The road up to the house is a gravel winding mountain road. If there is snow you will need 4-wheel drive. We have fast fiber optic internet with a smart tv.

Great Cabin!
We had a great stay! The view was spectacular and seeing the horses with our 2 year old was a hit. The cabin was clean, spacious and adequately stocked with kitchen supplies. The drive was easy and it was close to Shenandoah National Park. We will definitely stay again if we’re in the area!

Weekend in Shenandoah
Beautiful, clean and spacious house with a stunning mountain view. Plentiful amenities. My only complaint is that is was a tad hard to get to, but overall a wonderful experience.

A quick two-night stay
Very clean property. All rooms suited just what we needed. We used the home as a place to come back to at the end of the day spent fishing. Everything we needed was there. Coffee pot, hot shower, comfortable beds, and some space to stretch out.

Great stay !
We had a great weekend in this pretty little wooden house, nestled in the forest, on top of a hill. The house is comfortable, with all amenities. The view of the landscape is very beautiful. The entrance to Shenandoah Park is a 20 minute drive away. It is definitely a very good address in the area !

Great little mountain adventure
It had everything we needed. We did manage to get a little bit of a signal but be prepared with some downloaded stuff. It was cool to wake up and look out and see horses out the window.

Great Value, Great Views
The stay at Brian's place is worth the drive up the dirt road to get there. I am glad we got there the first day before dark. The property and house were a pleasant surprise, given the location. We had everything we needed to cook meals there and have restful sleeps. We hiked Rose River Loop trail and White Oak Lower Falls trail on Brian's suggestion. Both reasonable driving distance and both great ways to experience Shenandoah.

Perfect mountain getaway!
We loved everything about our stay. It’s a wonderful property and the best view on the mountain. When you are driving up through the woods and then everything just opens up when you get to the property, it’s just gorgeous. My kids loved the horses and the fire pit for smores. They loved running around exploring outside. It was so peaceful. Stargazing was amazing at night. The house was perfect for us. Everything was super clean and we felt very comfortable. We definitely are going to try to come back again. Hopefully in the fall.

Peaceful wooded retreat
This was a lovely, quiet place to get away for a few nights. There are neighbors a few hundred yards away but from the front porch it's easy to see nothing but the surrounding woods and a nice view of the mountainside. The home is well-stocked including pots, pans, and knives in the kitchen, a washer and dryer, heating and cooling, and a stack of firewood. The road leading up to the property is steep and gravelly which may be tough if it's icy or snowy.

Beautiful views
My wife and I enjoyed our stay immensely. We spent the days visiting the local wineries and the evenings relaxing in front of the huge firepit gazing at the stars. The mountain views and fall foliage were spectacular. The check-in process was smooth and Brian quickly responded to any questions. Cant wait to return again in the future!

Long weekend stay in mountains
My husband and I had gone to the area to hike old rag to attend a wedding nearby. This perfect little cabin was right between old rag and Lydia Mountain Lodge. It was clean. The view was beautiful. And the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked And coffee on the porch in the mornings was perfect.

Great for a getaway near Shenandoah National Park
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay here, and it was exactly what we had expected and needed. It was close enough to Shenandoah to go hiking for the day, and the views even just outside the house were beautiful.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway!
Brian's guest house in the mountains of Stanardsville was by far one of the best VRBO properties I've stayed at. The home was clean and had many amenities. The kitchen was amazing! Many times, a rental property will have a few odds and ends of pots and pans and maybe a spice or two. This property had wonderful new cookware, knives, utensils, and dinnerware, and many spices to cook with. Also, plenty of soap, sponges, and cleaning supplies. The washer and dryer were also an unexpected nice amenity. The location is great, very quiet with beautiful views off the porch and deck. It was fun to watch the horses in the nearby paddock. This was a wonderful property and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

New & stocked!
This was a newer build, clean & modern. It was near hiking and that's why we chose it! I have stayed at many other air B&Bs but this one was the most well stocked! Owner provided linens, TP & paper towels, soaps, firewood, free sodas, etc. Owner was also a great communicator. Great experience in a nice QUIET home.
