The interior is light, airy, and spacious. The kitchen is well-equipped with tableware, dishes, pots and pans. Fair-trade coffee, tea, and sugar are provided. There is parking space for three cars in the driveway. In addition to the spectacular view, the home offers quick and easy access to EMU and JMU in minutes. There are grocery stores conveniently located near-by and delicious food within walking distance, including Bowl of Good and La Morena's. The Blue Ridge Mountains to the east and the George Washington National Forest to the the west. Both areas are renown for skiing, hiking and biking trails, and dramatic foliage in the fall. We are also about fifteen miles from Massanuttan Ski Resort and Water Park.
The area around Harrisonburg hosts a number of music festivals, including Red Wing Roots Festival, Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival, and the Shenandoah Music Festival. The town has a quiet small town charm with impressive public parks and an Annual Chocolate Walk in addition to other festive events throughout the year. As an added bonus, area universities offer a wide range of cultural performances throughout the year.

There is a separate apartment over the garage to our house where a friend of the family lives. Their apartment is separate from the house but they park in the garage sometimes so please avoid parking them in.

Mama’s weekend
We do a girls weekend with both my daughters and one of their mother in laws and we had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. The communication with the owner was great. We will definitely be looking at it again for our trip next year.

Recital Weekend
Family gathered at JMU from Pennsylvania and Virginia to attend our daughter’s senior recital. The home exceeded our expectations - it was absolutely perfect for our family. The first floor master bedroom was easily accessible to grandparents. It was very clean and roomy! Everything we needed was there! PLUS, the porch was amazing and so were the views!

Wedding Party
This house perfectly suited our needs. Lots of room to spread around. Slept a lot of people. The kitchen and dining/family room were large and nicely laid out. It made holding a small impromptu brunch the morning after the wedding easy. You have a lovely view from the fabulous porch!! Thank you for making the week restful.

The PERFECT Rental For JMU Families
We've stayed at this property 4 times now. It could not be more perfect for JMU families. Situated just a couple miles off campus in a quiet neighborhood offering a panoramic view of the mountains, this house is a gem. The house itself is in immaculate condition and offers ample space for larger groups. Mary, the owner, could not be more attentive and responsive to her tenants. It's simply the perfect location. We will be back again and again.

Highly recommend for family stay
This was a beautiful, large house with great amenities to accommodate our family of five with plus ones and an infant. We stayed as out of town guests in for a family wedding, and the house provided a perfect home base and perfectly suited us with several large bedrooms and tons of communal, comfy seating. What a gorgeous view of the mountains. Can't recommend enough!

A lovely, welcoming, calm house which are family enjoyed
This house was a wonderful gathering point, retreat, and haven for our family in our recent visit to Harrisonburg. The glorious porch looking out over the surrounding area was a place to both start and end our days. Everything we needed was readily available, and the messages and instructions were clear and helpful. What a lovely place -- we would certainly stay there again. Thank you.

Great Stay for Family Reunion
The view from this home is spectacular and it was a very special experience to sit on the porch for coffee and evening chats. The home was spacious, well-furnished, and set up with all the household items we needed - a perfect simplicity. Beds were comfortable. Hosts were responsive and very nice to work with.

Four of us old friends tried this place as the site for our annual golf get-together. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We all fit in easily. The house was clean and very well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the view from the front porch. If we decide to stay in Harrisonburg again in the future, we will definitely stay here.

This was a perfect place for us to stay during EMU's graduation. The college was literally just a few minute walk away. The house was very clean and large. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch taking in the amazing view of the valley. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful accommodations
The house is everything it appears to be. It’s as beautiful, clean and comfortable as the pictures show. The location was ideal for Harrisonburg and the surrounding area, as well as accessing I-81. We had no problems. The only “issue” for lack of a better word was that we were cooking a lot and there were no baking dishes and minimal options to use in the oven. Really, a minor concern, but something to consider if you are in the same situation. Overall, the property was perfect.

Lovely visits to Harrisonburg
We enjoyed our two nights here. The host has a lovely home that has everything you need for a home away from home. Kitchen is well stocked and home was very neat and clean. Our only complaint was that the towels had a very unpleasant scent. This has been an issue in many vacation rentals our family has stayed in so we didn’t take any stars off but it was very off putting. The host’s message prior to arrival gave us all the information we needed to check in as well as recommendations on places to eat. We will book again on our next visit to see our JMU student!
