Large Family Cabin in the Shenandoah Valley - Book Today - Dog Friendly!!

THE AREA
Just a quick 2-hour drive away from the DC metro area, so whether you are looking for a fun-filled adventure or just a relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle, this property will enable you to truly customize your vacation. The fresh mountain property is located just a mile from the main Bryce Resort Lodge. Our warm cozy cabin offers a rustic feel nestled among the trees with modern accommodations.

THE CABIN
Located a mile from the Bryce Resort, this 2900 square foot, 4 bedroom cabin is a perfect place for multiple families to chill out. The home is unique for the area because its layout provides four families to have privacy and common spaces together.

There are 3 levels offering a total of four bedrooms and 3 baths. The main floor has an open concept kitchen with a dining area that fits up to 10 people. There is a bedroom with a queen bed and a second bedroom with a full bed and bunk beds. There is also a bathroom, office, screened in porch, and deck on the main level.

Downstairs there is a bathroom, bedroom with a full bed, enormous rec room with a pull out twin bed and queen sofa bed. There is also a Foosball and air hockey table, and let's not forget and indoor corn hole set up and a bump out sitting room. Guests will also have access to a laundry room if they need it.

The master suite on the third floor has its own private deck, full bathroom, queen bed, and twin bed.

The cabin offers central air conditioning for maximum comfort in the summers. For large groups, the parking area allows for up to 6 cars.

Guests have Wi-Fi and a new home office in case you can't step away from your work during your mountain retreat. Expanded cable as well as streaming apps are available on the televisions.

The updated kitchen has a new refrigerator and dishwasher, under cabinet lighting, additional cookware and farm sink. The kitchen is stocked with everything to make your stay comfortable if you choose to work your magic in the kitchen. The renovated screened in porch and private deck feels like you are back in a tree house from your early years.

The cabin became DOG FRIENDLY as of 9/2021 (seems like this pandemic brought more furry friends to families). There is a limit at this time of ONE dog per stay with a pet fee of $85. There are also some restrictions for your pet if you choose to bring him/her (not allowed on furniture or bedding/preferably crated if no one is in the cabin).


THE SURROUNDING AREA
A three minute drive will take guests to Bryce Resort where they will find the first tee of the golf course, mountain bike trails, the ski lifts, or the recreation area which offers a pro shop, hiking, zip lining, private airport, and basketball courts. The Copper Kettle Bar & Lounge at the main lodge offers food and drinks 7 nights a week. Events at Bryce Resort are year-round (check web site)

Lake Laura is a short walk from the house and offers: Fishing, Swimming, Paddle Boating, Kayaking, Beach Front, and Hiking Trails.

Centrally located to more than 7 different wineries and vineyards including: Shenandoah, Cave Ridge, Wolf Gap, Kindred Pointe, Muse, Wisteria, and Cedar Creek. Delicious breweries such as Swover Creek, Ridge Runner Farms, Woodstock, Bald Top, Box Office, and Siblings' Rivalry are also in the area.

Easy day trips in all directions include: Multiple Cavern Tours, Museums, War Memorials, National Parks, The Shenandoah River (Fly Fishing, Rafting, and Tubing), The Blue Ridge Mountains, Historic Sites, Orchards, Farms, Antique Shops, Shenandoah Music Festival Grounds, Harrisonburg, and James Madison University (just 40 minutes away)

There is a grocery store (Food Lion) in Mt. Jackson by Interstate 81, which is about 15-20 min from the resort. Once in Basye, there is local convenience store/gas station that has a small selection of a bit of everything (basic grocery items, drinks, frozen pizzas, toiletries, etc). The RH House (also walkable) offers great wine, upscale appetizers, and unique delicious fare. The resort has a restaurant in the Lodge.

Another great stay at Bryce
We love our Bryce tradition. There are so many new activities/places to visit all walkable from the house. It was a beautiful weekend and we enjoyed lake runs, smiley custard, live music, pickleball and relaxing at the house. Already looking forward to next year.

Great house in Bryce
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The home is quite spacious and a great layout for a few families to stay. The basement is huge with lots of space for the kids to play. We also enjoyed the large dinning room too. We would definitely book this home again.

We had the best time. My husband, son and fur baby stayed for a surprise birthday 🎂 getaway and we’re so happy! I loved the location and the fact it snowed the day after my birthday was icing on the cake haha. We can’t wait to go back and enjoy the cabin again!

Mountain Getaway
The property is beautiful. We really enjoyed ourselves, it was nice getting away from our busy life for a few days. We enjoyed a walk to the babbling creek, it was really nice. We could have used a little more curtain coverage, but it was ok.

A splendid, restful family weekend!
The location is beautifully situated in the mountains with comfortable, spacious, and clean house. My family had a great time relaxing and kids enjoyed playing around. The house was fully stocked with toys and games so my grandkids were not bored as it was raining, and we stayed mostly indoors. This is one place that we will consider returning to.

Really enjoyed our stay
I had never been to this area of the state and this was a last minute booking. The home is spotless and looks even better in person. I loved the area! There is plenty to do even in the spring. I am looking forward to a fall visit or earlier if I can. Its a large house so you can find plenty of space for your family of just be alone if you need some quiet time.

The perfect getaway
Our group of 8 (tweens, teens, and parents) absolutely adored our stay! The bedroom lay out was great, there was tons of space both to spread out and to hang out as a full group. As someone who cooks a lot, I was also especially grateful for the well-appointed kitchen that enabled us to make delicious meals for a large group. And the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we had any questions. Can't recommend this house enough!

another wonderful stay
this is our 3rd year staying at the house for our summer vacation with our family and it's wonderful. it's so close to everything (lake, golf, Smileys!) and easy to get to the wineries and Harrisonburg. The house is big and accommodates all ages. We could watch the World Cup together and play games; and the kids could play ping pong in the basement. Such a fun week and we're already looking forward to coming back next year. thank you!

perfect weekend getaway
my host was very responsive every time i asked her anything. She even told me about local events. My family and I was very comfortable and there was enough room for all of us. We were close enough to all the parks and caverns and even DC. My daughters boyfriend even proposed on the balcony. Absolutely one of the best weekend getaways..

It was everything we thought it would be!
When we got there, everything was super clean! Everything functioned like they said it would and the house was a lot bigger than we thought. We had absolutely no problems at all and we enjoyed ourselves. We stopped down at the creek down below for a little while it was definitely a good time. Be careful and take a walking stick lol we used the grill on the back deck and the game room was fun also! Thank you for allowing us to stay!

Anniversary
The property was wonderful. The only hitch was the printed code for door was different than the one sent by email. It took us a Lou time because we had the hard copy. Also we call owner with some questions and never had a response. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the house. Appreciated that bath items were provided
