We had a wonderful stay at this ski house! The home was clean, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a family ski trip. Plenty of space to relax after a long day on the slopes, and the cozy atmosphere made it feel like a true mountain getaway. The host was responsive and helpful, and everything we needed was provided. We would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed here for a weekend getaway, and Amy and her team truly exceeded our expectations. The home is beautiful, luxurious, and thoughtfully designed to make every guest feel comfortable and well cared for. The house was spotless, the rooms were spacious, and the stunning design was evident throughout. The kitchen was especially well stocked, which was convenient for a larger group. The amenities were outstanding, we loved the games, sauna, and hot tub, which made our stay both relaxing and entertaining. The location is also excellent. We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and the easy drive to Shenandoah National Park. The home is also close to resorts and a water park, making it a great option for a summer vacation. There’s even a pond and playground within walking distance. Everyone in our group was thrilled with the experience, and we would absolutely stay here again. Amy is a wonderful host, and this home is highly recommended.

All my family had a great time. we loved the cozy house. The snowy roads and trees was a beautiful sight. The first floor was cold when we got there, it wasn't warming up on the first night some of us woke up in the middle of the night shivering, but then we adjust the temperature the next morning and it warm up. We definitely coming back again.

We stayed here for a friend's getaway with 6 different couples, some with kids (baby/toddler aged). It was the perfect location for our needs! The kitchen was well stocked, the rooms were spacious and clean, the home's design was beautiful and the location was perfect. There's a small playground in walking distance, a pond across the street, and of course many amenities as a part of the resort or nearby. It was the perfect spot for our friend reunion and I'd highly recommend booking!

Our group of 10 had a wonderful autumn getaway at Chris's place. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed to cook amazing meals, relax, and rest. The baby friendly amenities made packing for our little one super easy.
