Wonderful!
We already plan to go back!
We were hoping to get away from it all, and we did! It was so peaceful and quiet. No one around but chickens and deer (and one cat ).
The bed was comfortable, and bathroom stocked with nice thick fluffy towels.
We were pleasantly surprised to find a container of coffee along with a coffee maker and filters. There is even a mason type jar with sugar and powdered creamer if one uses these in their coffee.
It was a learning curve to figure out the convection cook top, but if I could do it, you can too 😊.
There is also a combination toaster oven/air fryer and a microwave for cooking needs.
The TV remote was simple to use, not many channels, but we could get a national network, and a few oldie stations, and this was enough for us.
The house is in such a pretty rural setting, with the mountains in the distance. We enjoyed our time on the front porch and in the covered seating area behind the house.
Kenneth was quick to respond with any questions.
No complaints, just a fabulous stay.

Cute and cozy
It was so cozy and had great views. We spent most of our time in Shenandoah national park but it was nice to come back to this little cabin each night. It was clean and we had no problems. We would definitely recommend this place.

Great Getaway in Shenandoah
This was our first time using VRBO and we were not disappointed. We wanted a weekend getaway where we could ride our motorcycles. This was perfect. The GPS not so much as it had us going 1/4 mile past the driveway... but we quickly found the house and it was perfect. Just the right size for 2. We didn't spend a lot of time there - since we were out and about during the day.

Perfect ♥️
This was our second time staying at Whippoorwill Nest. The location is perfect, out of the way, but close to everything you need. The view of the mountains from the cabin is beautiful. You also have good cell service, which is a huge bonus. We will definitely continue to come back to this place 😊

Good hub spot for Shenandoah NP
We did the North end day one and stopped at the VA Beer Museum to find some (to us) funny factoids about our forefathers. Day two, we did the southern half; much more wild/unkempt. This little cabin is fab for two! Hubby is right-side paralyzed and this little space was perfect (with some help up the two access stairs). Super quiet and a ton of deer to watch. I brought along pillows after reading a review but seriously not needed and we were in pillow heaven… Come stay! This place is clean and awesome!

Puts the R in R & R
Rest and Relaxation is very easy to have in this beautiful little cabin.
Bunnies, Deer and constant bird song made it such an enjoyable visit.
Clean and cleaner was the cabin.
Nothing fancy but it’s where we will stay in the future on trips to the area.
The front porch was a great hangout and the solitude is close enough to ‘civilization’ if you don’t want to cook in the cabin.

Stress Relieving Haven
I loved my stay! The cabin was super clean cute, comfy, and cozy. Butterflies flying around daily and pleasant melodies of the birds, scenic view of the mountains was amazing! This allowed me to tap into nature in a whole new way. Thi getaway gave me the rest, relaxation, rejuvenation and peace that I needed. Being a mental health professional this was the ultimate personal self-care retreat. Higly recommend especially if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Cozy Cabin
Great little cabin. This cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for a weekend get away. Close to Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns. We ate at a great little diner called Rudy's. Owner was kind and made sure we were going to be away from the cabin when he came to mow the grass. We had a wonderful stay.
My Fiancé and I was searching for a quick little get away for the weekend and came across The Nest. It was great, we had a really good time here. It was so quiet and peaceful. Everything we needed came in the Nest, the location was great for what we needed.
