The cabin sits on five acres bordering George Washington National Forest. At sunrise & sunset from the porches, or the top of the property, you can see the sun cast its golden light on the mountain ridge across the valley.

Perfect for a quiet getaway....
Golden Ridge is exactly as advertised and more. I spent 4 nights, just me and my dog, escaping to quiet solitude with a pile of books and snacks. Neither of us wanted to leave! The hosts were attentive but not obtrusive and patient with my user error questions upon check in. The place is so lovely and peaceful. I hope to be back.

Great getaway
We had at great time at the golden ridge cabin. We enjoyed the fire pit at night and playing cards out on the screened in porch. We love to cook, and the cabin has most everything you could possibly need. We watched movies, and sometimes just took in an afternoon nap. It was very nice and peaceful. We are already talking about how nice it would be in the winter months. I would recommend this cabin if you want to unplug and relax.

Rustic Cabin Perfection!
What a lovely cabin only 15-20 minutes from Harrisonburg. The cabin is rustic (in the way you want a cabin to be rustic) with so many charming details- from the little coffee nook to the outdoor string lights. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. We hope to book again!

Perfect Anniversary Getaway w/ Furry Friend
Husband and I went up with our goldendoodle, Cheryl and had a wonderful stay at the Golden Ridge Cabin. They had all the necessities there from Coffee to Toiletries. We had a wonderful time as it is close to many of the towns, hiking trails, and scenic views. The beds were comfortable and amenities are refreshing after a long day of adventuring in the great outdoors. Very nice kitchen set up, so if you decided to do a staycation at the cabin you could 100% cook all your meals at the cabin too. Would highly recommend checking this place out, but you definitely need an SUV or All-Terrain vehicle as the entirety of the roads to access the cabin are gravel, just as an FYI.

A dream in the mountains
What can I say? We loved our weekend stay at the Golden Ridge Cabin. The house is better than advertised, filled with great taste and a delightfully cozy mountain vibe. Oh, and a fully stocked kitchen! What more can you ask? We will be coming back and recommending it to friends and family. We are so happy that we have found this gem. Thank you for everything!

Getaway in Rawley Springs
This VRBO-friendly cabin was perfect for a couple (or two) to enjoy woodsy seclusion while working remotely. WiFi was fast and reliable. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and eating in, and cabin was even stocked with wood for the fire pit. During our stay, a large tree fell over the road while we were out. I contacted the owner and there was a crew there the next morning (on a Sunday) to remove it. Road leading up to the cabin was unpaved and narrow so took a little getting used to. Only letdown - neighborhood was not walking friendly and I was hoping for more trails close by (but did find one). Overall, we had a very pleasant week.

Perfect cabin
My wife and I absolutely loved our 4-night stay at the Golden Ridge Cabin. This was the best thought-out vacation rental we have seen yet. The drawers/cabinets and switches were all clearly labeled. We brought our own cookware and whatnot but didn't use them because all kitchen gadgets and doodads were already present! The furniture was comfy and just right for the space. We spent many hours in the screened porch reading and playing games. The hammock was a great idea, we're going to hang one in our own screened porch now too! There are lights and fans, was very nice out there day and night, in sunny weather and the rain. The birds and the trees blowing in the wind were quite relaxing. We would definitely come back to this cabin. Highly recommend booking a stay.

Great place to disconnect and relax!
My wife and I live in the suburbs of NYC, and we would both say we like more urban environments. This cabin was a wonderful place to disconnect from it all. From the moment we stepped through the door, we felt the warmth of the rustic but beautiful interior, including the screened in porch which provided the ability to enjoy the sounds, smells and sights of the very wooded environment without the bugs. Check in and check out process was flawless, the cabin was very clean and well stocked, and the beds and furniture very comfortable. It’s also close to whatever we needed—shopping in Harrisonburg (just 15 minutes away), or hiking in the woods. Highly recommend!

Charming cottage in the Shenandoah Valley
We walked in the door and fell in love with this place immediately. It has the vibe of a rustic mountain getaway, but the decor is fresh and there are tons of nice little touches throughout. The owners have given so much thought to making it comfortable, convenient and attractive. The kitchen was well-stocked with basics as well as plenty of extras. If you're not sure, contact the owner. He was very responsive, usually answering questions within the hour. The neighborhood was quiet during our visit. Seems like there's a mix of full and part-timers. The outdoor spaces are terrific--porch with a hammock, deck for dining, and a fire-it with chairs. Beds were super comfy, as were all the linens. Great Wifi. It's a perfect place to relax and unwind. We look forward to a return visit.
