Perfect Labor Day Stay
This property was perfect. We used the fire pit, watched thunderstorms from the porch, floated in the river, slept in the very comfy bed and had a perfect long weekend. I'd love to come back someday.

Beautiful Property with everything you forgot you needed
First I have to start off with the fact that the property exceeded my expectations. The beds were comfy and there were tons of pillows and blankets. The owners of this property have everything you have forgotten to pack. Which includes but is not limited, to Q-tips, games, coloring books, extension cords, and bug spray. They have thought of everything! The location was hard to find but a Google satellite picture helped when we planned the trip to find the location. The property was well-furnished and extremely comfortable. We found the decore was fitting and adorable. The kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances for a modern life. We took walks down to the river every day but unfortunately, it was raging due to TS Debbie's aftermath. Our only drawback was that the internet did not work no matter what we did and communications with the owner were on point but due to equipment failure we were not able to have TV or internet. This was not a huge issue as it caused us to communicate more, sit on the front porch, and play a few more hands of cards. We enjoyed the sounds of the country (cows and roosters) and of course the train. It was a welcome relief to hear that instead of normal urban sounds. I will only say to other VBRO Renters, if there is something wrong with the property you have rented or if supplies are low on something in the unit, please let the owners know so they can deal with the issue for the next person who comes into the unit.

Great location
Family trip to see Shenandoah National Park. Property is perfect location to park and to Elkton. Private and secluded. My son fished every day and caught every day. Enjoyed the canoe as well. Washer and dryer super handy after all day adventures! Had a couple of things needed help with and the host was extremely responsive! Comfy beds and plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out inside and outside!

Great farm house on the river
It was a great weekend before the start of school. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen (K cup coffee maker), was clean, and the pac-man game was a hit. There was plenty of space for the kids to run safely around. We didn't use the grill but did enjoy eating outside and having a fire in the fire pit off the porch. Bring your own wood. The shed had tubes, life vests, and oars for the canoe, which my family really enjoyed. The whole property was surprisingly mosquito free! We also were close enough to the water park at Massanutten and the White Oak Lavender farm in Harrisonburg for a good day out. It is farm country and there was an occasional smell of farm on the property, mostly during the hottest part of the afternoon. And although Google says the driveway connects to Captain Yancey road, it does not. the driveway just goes to a neighbor's house. thanks for the great weekend!

Cute Farmhouse
What a cute farmhouse. It brought back so many memories of visits to my grandparents’ friends’ farm when I was a kid. We enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit and toasting S’mores. I especially loved watching the lightning bugs put on a show. We really appreciate everything you did to ensure that our “working vacation” was a success!

Great house!
This is a super cute renovated farmhouse. Our family of four really enjoyed the space and the outdoors around the house. The kids absolutely loved the little reading nook and the Pac-Man game. Plenty of space to sit down by the water, as well. The house is well stocked with everything we needed for our long weekend visit. We cooked simple meals most evenings and had ample pots, pans, and utensils. We went to the Shenandoah National forest for hiking during the day and spent afternoons and evening fishing and swimming. The walk down to the river has a nice path, and is shady and nice. Highly recommend bringing water shoes and bug spray in the summertime.

Disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with family
Beautiful property enjoyed by the whole family. Great yard for kite flying and great space to relax by the river. Firepit was enjoyed every night, and the big table in the family room was perfect for games and puzzle making. Location perfect for short trip to Luray Cavern, hiking in Shenandoah National Park and tubing down the river. We didn't want to leave!

Two far-flung brothers and me, along with some adult offspring, met up for fishing and fun - great location and accomodations. Plenty of room for our crowd - river landing worked well for launching our craft to float and fish for smallmouth. Two porches and acres of yard to romp.

Oh Shenandoah!
What a lovely home on the Shenandoah River! With all the amenities of home, mountain views in front and back of the house, we were in heaven! Spent every day hiking in Shenandoah National Park with waterfalls and great views at every turn. Caught smallmouth bass in the river behind the house. Our dog loved the fields and trails. Right next to Harrisonburg and JMU, and five minutes from Massanutten where the kids drove go carts, tubed down a grass covered slope, and took a zip line down the mountain. Be sure to treat yourself to breakfast at Firebird Cafe and custard at Kline's Dairy Bar. Will definitely return!

Wonderful mix of modern and rustic
The care in renovation is evident and they invested wisely. Everything you'd want modern is modern but they didn't lose the rustic, charm of the place. We suspect more improvements are on the way. Say hi to the groundhog. We've named him Elkton John.

Spur of the moment family escape
We had a wonderful time at the farm house! Our host Christi was so responsive and flexible. For us making these arrangements on the fly and changing our dates her flexibility was awesome and so appreciated! We were only in the house one night when my husband and family requested to see if we could stay through the entire week. We were grateful to the host that she allowed us to change our reservation to do so! She got back to me immediately when I contacted her with any questions. The house itself is lovely! It’s been updated with modern amenities. It’s very cute, but it’s not so over done that you feel like you can’t relax in there. One of the best things about the property as well is that they allowed us to bring our dog! He’sa part of our family too ! The property the house is on has a very short path to your private river frontage. My family didn’t want to go anywhere other than down to the river when we were there! It was so relaxing and beautiful. The river runs slowly enough to be safe for your dogs and family alike. The hosts provided access to river tubes for floating and canoes for paddling had wer so desired. The water is cool and clean! The home is close to many activities if you can pull yourself away from the house and river. It’s very close to Massanutten and those activities including the water park or skiing. It’s also close to Luray Caverns and Sky Line Drive. It’sa great place to rest and recharge or you can be as active as you want! It’s the best of both worlds. You don’t have to choose! You can do it all here!

Perfect Riverside Retreat!
The pictures do not do the property and house justice! Tastefully updated interior, but keeping the charm of the farmhouse, we had more than enough room for our family of five, plus our dog. The master bedroom was deceptively large, and the bathrooms are more modern than our own in the city! They weren’t joking when they said all you need is beach towels and bug spray! We frequented the food lion in elkton after finding basic food a try staples in the home, camp chairs in the shed, and laundry detergent in the pantry room. Our pooch was in heaven running the yard, chasing the rabbits (be sure to grab a tick collar!), and just stretching her legs! Fifteen minutes from Massanutten water park and maybe 20 from the rest of the park, we enjoyed perks of Summer Jam, without the premiums of staying in the resort. We even got some awesome local folklore while catching some great photos at the old gas station! I hope to return in the winter, or maybe by myself, as another respite from the hustle and bustle of everything!

Disappointed
First, the good news... Overall, the house and property are very nice. The house is over 100 years old, but it has been renovated with nice touches. The kitchen has a pleasant retro feel. The living room has a comfortable reclining sofa and oversized chair/ottoman. The bathrooms contain modern tiled showers with pedestal sinks. The water quality/taste is very good. The beds are comfortable. It is a short walk to the Shenandoah River from the house. Now the bad news... we were expecting slow internet, but we were not expecting the internet to never work. Contacts to the owner proved fruitless, as she never seemed that concerned to resolve the issue or to check back to see if it started working. On Day 3 after a wet day of hiking, we used the dryer and found that it was filled with wet sheets. When using the dryer, we realized the dryer was venting into the utility room. Pulled the dryer away from the wall and realized that the vent was not connected and hadn't been connected for some time given the amount of lint on and around the dryer. We reconnected the dryer vent since we didn't expect any timely owner resolution. The kitchen cookware was below average unless you don't mind cooking in nonstick pans with 1/4 or so of the "teflon" surface missing. The owner should care more about the customer.
