REMAINING JUNE & JULY NIGHTS ONLY $99 BORDERS GEORGE WASHINGTON NATIONAL FOREST

How fantastic it was to arrive at the Upper Rawley cabin, in Rawley Springs, Virginia, with a warm fire already started; fresh farm raised eggs in the refrigerator, and to be greeted by our wonderful host, Steven, who insisted on helping us unload our car in the pouring rain. Steven’s adorable daughter, Anna Kate, was there also and she took my wife and daughter by the hand and gave them a grand tour of the house. The cabin is everything advertised and more, spacious, furnished nicely and well-maintained, with a screened-in porch, as well as a stone patio full of bird feeders and a fenced-in yard. It was great fun to watch the hummingbirds flitting around, and a friendly squirrel attempting to get into the bird feeders for a free lunch. The cabin is located on the edge of the George Washington National Forest and within easy driving distance of the Shenandoah National Park. We are avid hikers, and Steven was very helpful in giving us suggestions and very accurate directions for nearby hikes. We spent the week hiking, visiting local wineries, a battlefield and the Virginia Civil War Museum, driving along Skyline Drive with its world class overlooks, and just taking it easy. The cabin was well-stocked with all the necessities that we needed; the beds were luxurious; and the entire house was very comfortable. A bonus that we discovered, were several ethnic restaurants in close-by Harrisonburg, where we sampled culinary delights from Peru, the Mediterranean and Greece. Both Steven and Katie were more than accommodating and insisted that we should call them if we needed anything; you couldn’t find better hosts. We would not hesitate to recommend this great mountain cabin to anyone interested in a weekend getaway or a week-long relaxing stay in a quiet, picturesque, peaceful setting. We hope to go back ourselves at some later date.

I'm not sure who loved this place the most...my husband and I, our 3 sons or our yellow lab! It was absolutely wonderful and we're already talking about our next visit to the Upper Rawley Cabin. How cozy to arrive w/the smoke coming out of the smokestack, fresh eggs from their hen house in the fridge and Katie and Steven awaiting us w/anything we should need. I must say the home was very cozy, numerous birds at the feeder during the day and the beds were so comfortable I had difficulty getting out each day. How nice to be able to explore the area on various hikes and see the sun peeking over the mountains each morning. How I wished we could've stayed longer.

If you're looking for a retreat w/just about everything your heart could desire and more...this is the place for you! Can't wait for next time!!

The Upper Rawley Cabin was more than expected. It was spacious, comfortable and ready for our stay upon arrival.
We did experience high snow that weekend; Steven and Katie helped us out at any hour of the day.
Thank you for the great time. We really enjoyed.
