My husband and I had a beautiful stay here – quiet and peaceful property and the outside fire pit area with lights was great at night. We can’t wait to come back again and are thinking about doing a yearly visit.

Very cool place with an amazing history. The Civil War connection was fascinating. Very quiet and peaceful place for a quick end of winter getaway. Tony did a great job with communication and was very easy to reach via text. Great job!

My wife and I had an excellent day at Tony’s cabin. It was very peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. It was very cozy with the wood burning stove, and we loved the kitchen set up. We look forward to returning again in the fall. The beds were very comfortable. Tony was very responsive throughout our weekend when we have little questions. Thank you!

What a wonderful way to spend a winter wonderland weekend—by a cozy wood fire, snuggled up with our fur kid. We absolutely loved the blend of historic charm with modern amenities. The look, the feel, all of it was exactly what we needed and look for in a home away from home.
Tony was incredibly responsive, answered all of our questions, and made sure we had everything we needed to feel at home. We will absolutely be visiting again.

Terrific place. Love the history. It’s very rustic in a good way. Plenty of warm bedding and towels. Multiple heating sources for those cold nights. Make sure you read and download everything before getting there, you’ll probably lose phone service depending on your carrier and need to connect to the WiFi. Great quiet getaway close drive from DC, Tony is very responsive and communicative.

Staying in this cabin was an amazing experience. The updates made to this 223 year old home were ingenious, allowing it to keep the historic feel yet provide modern conveniences. Well stocked kitchen. Just the simple act of keeping the fireplace going on one chilly night brought to mind how people lived generations ago. Of course we could have used the baseboard heaters, but the fireplace was more of an adventure! The settling of such an old house makes the floors uneven, but after a bit we got our “cabin legs”, still giggling when we inadvertently leaned into each other on the small landing upstairs. Having two bathrooms was a real luxury for a home of this age! Staying here was a great experience. It’s rustic and private, but not really isolated. A neighbor even stopped by to chat about the area (he had been raised there), and everyone we met on our walks was friendly and more than willing to talk.

I was looking to get the “full West Virginia experience” with my first visit to the state by staying in an old, secluded cabin in the mountains—which Tony’s place absolutely was. The remoteness of it was great. The cabin itself is very charming too. My only complaint is the baseboard heaters were not working, so I had very little heat in overnight temps in the mid-thirties. When I informed Tony of this, he had told me a handyman would be out the next day to fix the issue. I ended up spending the day at Shenandoah National Park, thinking it would be good to get out of the cabin and let the handyman work. However, when I returned to the cabin around 11pm, I was surprised to realize the heat was still not working properly, and that the handyman had never ended up coming to the property. Aside from this, I had a good experience.
