Secluded log cabin, fireplace, wi-fi, hot tub on deck!!

We had several bad reviews in a row, and we are remedying the problems We changed cleaning personnel. We dealt with the mice and are continually monitoring potential entry points. Since then through another website, we have had four stellar reviews. We have included them in descriptions with the bad review… for VRBO customers were having a special rate from now through December in order to say that we are on top of these issues. Thank you!
Romantic...Private...Honeymoon...Anniversary...or just because. You want to get away! Hemlock Hollow is located on 5 wonderfully wooded acres.

Great for Bird watching! Winter is Hawks, Owls, and woodpeckers. Recently a Peregrine Falcon was spotted on Tanners Ridge Road. He Flew Right in front of my Truck chasing a song bird. Vero's and Warblers, phoebes are among our visitors in the Spring.

Hemlock Hollow..is a 2 bedroom Custom Built Log home with Cathedral Ceilings and a Two-Person indoor Whirlpool Tub....and a Hot tub on Expanded Deck!....

Marvelously secluded, Hemlock Hollow is nestled in a High Mountain Hollow next to a Babbling Brook..... The Cabin is located just outside the Shenandoah National Park near Big Meadows. Cabin is a 1 1/2 mile hike from skyline drive via Tanner's Ridge road gate. Foot, Mountain Bike, and Hoarse traffic allowed via this access.

Watch the sunset from the covered porch...Take in nature from the outside breakfast nook bridging the porch and deck...... Relax on deck to catch the sparkling night sky after grilling dinner.... Maybe you'd rather just sit around the campfire....

...There's plenty to do with hiking to Big Meadows or fishing in the nearby private pond. All the activities of Luray and the Shenandoah Valley are just 20 minute drive away....

Hemlock Hollow is... Americans with Disabilities Act, ( or ADA) Compliant. There are 29 Cleverly built-in ADA features. ....The ADA features work well with Families with young Children, 0-5 and toddlers....

We have a camp fire ring a few steps from the Deck. Free use of Downed wood. Within 10 minutes of foraging you will get all the wood needed. This also helps prevents wild fires.

In the past pandemic years we have had inconsistent reviews. Several issues are supply chain related. With hot tubs we have replaced 5 control panels, three pumps, and 1 main panel.

In several instances there has been a lack of understanding. Hot tubs cannot overcome all weather at all times. At temperatures below 50f, if the lid is left off, the tub will cool. At 10f the tub will cool rapidly.

Hot tubs heat at a constant rate. Turning up the temperature does not make the tub heat faster. The tub will heat until it satisfies the temperature sensor. We have several point of use instructions. Guest are responsible for management of the tub during the length of the contract.

Patience and logic are needed in operating all of the devices within the building... Please take a deep breath, read the instructions, or take a minute to figure out to your understanding how something works.

Secluded cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway. The host was very communicative/helpful, check-in was easy, and we were pleased with the property. Additionally, we enjoyed hikes, scenic views, and spied on playful wildlife.

Thank you Mr. Patrick to give us the right directions to arrive safe... for me was a great experience to be there. Sadly Wifi not so good, the place looks clean, but not so clean. Need to check with cleaning company to do a better job, very shallow. Hot tube, cool, perfect and nice...

great spot to get away
This cabin was just what we were in the mood for. Description of location and pictures did justice to the property. Owner Patrick was very fair allowing dogs and another couple to join us and we left the cabin extra clean to thank him. He was also very reachable and promptly sent help when the gas fireplace had trouble. We had a terrific hike up to skyline drive and the visitor center. The roads leading to cabin were a little tricky because of snowmelt and rain so we spent most of our time hiking and hot tubbing. Bring plenty of supplies and you won't want to leave!

Unfortunately I was very unpleased with this place. There is absolutely no view, the cabin is sitting on a hill in the woods. The campfire ring is also sitting directly on the hill. The hot tub is not HOT. The cabin is infested with wasps. I killed about 7 during my stay, one being in the bed sheets, and as I laid down it stung me on my arm! There is mouse poop everywhere, I laid awake one night just listening to the mice! There is no shower!!!! Only a jacuzzi tub. The whole place is just dirty. You can tell just by looking up at the ceiling, and especially outside at the window frames, the entire place is just kinda rigged together. I would not recommend!! Definitely not worth even half the money.

No frills….just chillz
We had a great time getting away and having a secluded, private and peaceful place to stay. We drove around Shenandoah’s Sky Line Dr and came back to amazing weather and spent a few hours in the hot tub. Accessing the property was easy peasy and the property manager was super quick to respond to any questions. Very relaxing, exactly what we needed! With that being said…the cleanliness was my biggest issue. The futon in the living room is red with black stains all over it, just filthy. We had to cover it with a comforter to sit on it without being grossed out. It wouldn’t be too big of an issue if it wasn’t the only comfortable place to sit in the room aside from the wooden bench with the thinnest cushions on it. The mats on the floor in the bedroom were a bath mat on one side and a toilet mat on the other, I couldn’t help but wonder how old and dirty these may be. Cabinet door in one bedroom was broken and hanging from one hinge. It would be a nice cabin that I would come back to with a little TLC and some more comfortable seating in the living room.

Worst experience ever
There was no stay. The property owner did not provide a code to access the property. There was a backup plan communicated that I trusted would be honored. It was not. There was a phone at the back of the house, but there was no dial tone for this non-working phone. I took a picture of the 2 toll free numbers so I could drive back out to where I had cell phone service. Once there, no one answered the phone on either number. No one returned my call as I had requested, either. If that wasn’t bad enough, VRBO has done nothing to help except act in abusive, unethical, and unprofessional ways- more than implying that my inability to access the property was my fault. Unbelievable. VRBO took my money and has done nothing but give me the runaround since that time.

A wonderful secluded slice of Heaven. The cabin was better than expected.
We had an amazing weekend, even with the rainy weather. It was exactly what we needed. The cabin was way better than expected and has plenty of stuff to do, games, books, TV. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery, even through the rain which we didn't mind. The peacefulness of the mountain is just what we needed. The hot tub and oversized bath tub were welcomed extras we took full advantage of during our stay. Our 2 dogs wanted to explore the mountains and didn't want to leave to come home. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our weekend getaway or a better host. Everything was better than described. Everything needed is at the cabin already. We severely over packed. The overall history of the place, combined with the fresh air and wildness of the mountain, make the perfect getaway from the stress of everyday life. We look forward to booking this exact place again in the future and anticipate our next stay.

Much needed TLC
This cabin needs much work, i understand where it is you will have mice and critters but the cabin has alot of mouse droppings that are not cleaned up , the pots and pans to use for cooking are in poor condition, we weren't able to use the grill no propane, the microwave had mouse droppings coming out of the vent , the wooden deck has boards coming up , and the door lock is not very secure . I wouldn't even say the cabin needs updating it needs TLC and more attention to detail. There is no comfortable place to sit it has a futon and a corner made couche that isn't very comfortable. We did contact the host because the microwave stopped working he was very nice and offered to come and help as he was on the way it started to work. At the time we didn't mention things that we found since it wasn't all at once. I didn't feel right about calling him everytime we noticed something my husband and i just made the best of what we had since we are 6 hours away we couldn't just pack up. So when we left i texted him to tell him. I just hope that he checks everything out and changes will be made. Also if you are a shower person. There is a hot tube in the bathroom but no shower on the hot tub is a shower hose . So if you aren't a tub person you may want to consider that. As i said i didn't contact the host everytime something happened cause i would have contacted him more than one time over the course of 4 days. I did ask for what he felt was a far refund but no refund .

Our second of many to this mountain gem
We had an unforgettable stay at Hemlock Hollow in late spring--two monumental, historical moments circling around us-- One, COVID-19 We had been quarantined in Maryland due and Hemlock Hollow was our perfect balm--no wi-fi and no cell phone service were exactly what we needed. We read books, played board games, enjoyed each others' company. Second. #BLM protests--As a nation, we were all facing our troubling past, and every day we drove through Luray to get to the Shenandoah NP, we saw their confederate monuments covered up after they had been graffitied on previous days. So, we will never forget the historically significant moment in time that brought us to this place. And we also explored the Thornton Gap entrance to the northern portion of the park, where we hiked to some of the most perfect places on Earth. Magnificent. Just make sure you get your brakes checked before going and use lower gears on the downhill from Hemlock Hollow to the town of Luray. For our second straight stay, our brakes emitted some serious smoke!

Cabin in the woods
Spend the Easter weekend with the family in the cabin, and we got what we where looking for. If you want to get away from things this place is right, no cell service (Verizon, ATT), but there's WiFi if you want to stay connected or want to prevent some meltdowns, sat TV and Netflix are available You're away from everything, off a gravel road with some nice ditches, so don't bring your lowered sport car, and I'm not sure if there's any grub-hub coming out there, so make sure you bring what you need. The well water from the tap is fine. Now, this is a wood cabin, the doors might to close 100% and there are some gaps in the walls and you will hear what's going on in the neighboring rooms. Also, you're in the wood, there will be bugs and critters you will have to live with it, and as you're in a forrest you're not having much of a view but trees and sky. Now, to the reason many are looking for this cabin, yes, the hot tub works, but it's running on 110V, changing water temps will take a while. When arrived it was at 86F, getting it up to 104F took until the next day, it was freezing overnight, what probably didn't help to heat up faster. As a verdict, we expected all of this, hence we enjoyed our stay a lot, and my son is asking when we're going back to the cabin.

We had a great time here. Very secluded, nice looking cabin, hot tub, and close to Luray, which my wife has never been so we went there on her birthday. All in all it was a nice escape and we would go back again. However there are some things you need to know before booking. 1. There is WiFi, but the password isn't provided so you have to ask. I recommend asking before you go, since there is absolutely no cell service there. 2. No cell service. There is supposed to be a land line, but you couldn't make calls only recieve calls. 3. The only communication we had with Patrick was through the VRBO website, even though we told him we had no cell service and he had to call us on the cabin phone. He still answered on the VRBO site. In order to get cell service to check the website we had to drive all the way back to the entrance of the community. Thankfully he did respond to my message on the VRBO site, but again, we had to drive to find cellular service. It took us two hours to get set up and comfortable. 4. The hot tub was clean, full, and nice. We enjoyed it two nights while we were there, the third night snowed and we just didn't feel like going out in it. The only issue is that the jets are extremely weak, not like my hot tub at all. 5. Two person whirlpool tub. Ver spacious, clean, and it looked nice. The only problem we had was that the jets did not work. We tried everything but it still didn't work. The wife still loved it. I would go back.

Hot tub and furniture issues
The hot tub was not working. We were directed to fill the hot tub up with water as it only had about 25% of the tub full. It took an hour to fill the tub. We were promised the maintenance man would come within 45 minute. It didn't happen. We messaged he never showed and they latered promised he would come to put chemicals into the tub the next day. The next day we had to message again and they finally showed up after sundown. The hot tub never got hot and was unusable for the stay. The furniture is very hard to sit on as are the beds. Expect to not wake up relaxed but with back pain. The unit was not designed well. The floor tiles in bathroom were loose. The coffee maker didn't work. The TV does not get reception. The puzzles provided for entertainment are missing pieces. If you want a no frills cabin that may not have a working hot tub, this may be your place. Other wise I would look elsewhere. One good thing is the heat works well. In my honest opinion, I will not return. I go to cabins at least twice a year and this one is off the return to list.

Weekend spoiled by unclean cabin
We stayed in this cabin for a weekend with our toddler. We arrived after about 5 hours of driving and were ready to get out of the car (especially our toddler!). However, the grass was uncut and we were not able to play outside. The owner did have the grass cut the next day, but said this was not promised as part of our stay at the cabin. I also had to sweep the floor almost immediately upon arrival. The floor under the couch hadn't been cleaned prior to our arrival, and our toddler's feet were very dirty from walking and playing on the floor. This did not give us a good first impression of the cabin. Throughout our stay, we also noticed dead stink bugs lining the windowsills, cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling, and mouse droppings under the sink (with the pots and pans). When addressing these issues with the owner, he stated that the mouse droppings were consistent with a mouse in less than 24 hours. Personally, I do not ever want to live with mice, either at home or on vacation. The sink is stained, and a dirty sponge was left for us to use. We went to a local food store to buy paper towels and a new sink sponge to clean our dishes. The scenery outside and the new hot tub are positive aspects. The cabin is remote and private. However, perhaps more attention should be given to the cleanliness inside the cabin to make guests feel more at home. We would not recommend this cabin to our friends and will not return.
