Clean and cozy cabin!
My husband and I needed a weekend away, and this was the perfect spot! The cabin is exactly as pictured, and the views from the wrap-around deck are just spectacular! We made use of the fireplace on chilly mornings, and it was close enough to Skyline Drive that we were able to spend multiple days in the national park. We are already planning to return again soon!

Perfect Fall Getaway
Cozy Cabin is the perfect combination of rustic cabin with updated amenities. The master suite with ensuite bathroom and mountain/ river views is exactly as pictured. It is the not a short drive to both National and state park trails, grocery store, wineries and unique eateries in quaint downtown Front Royal. We’ll definitely plan a return visit

Always Lovely
This is our third stay at one of John's properties and our second stay at the Cozy Cabin - and will not be our last. As in our prior visits, we had a fantastic experience. We truly value and enjoy the absolute seclusion of the property - not to mention the fantastic views. A very special thanks to John for his support in helping us manage an unexpected situation this trip (our rental car broke down). He is a great communicator and offered some fantastic advise. We would never even consider staying anywhere else when in the Front Royal area.

lovely getaway weekend with friends
I stayed here for a weekend friends getaway, and it was lovely. The property was as pictured - cozy and inviting, with a wood fireplace (and plenty of firewood available for evening fires). The views from the porch are amazing, and there were several comfortable chairs on the porch, so we spent a lot of time sitting outside and looking out at the river and the mountains. Check-in and check-out was very easy, with clear instructions provided by the host. The only thing I'd note for other groups considering this rental is that the road to get up to the cabin is steep and graveled, so it could be a challenge with certain low-to-the-ground cars (although we had no trouble in a minivan).

Wonderful place to recharge
We enjoyed our stay so very much. We loved the seclusion, the views, and the cabin was so comfortable. The cabin is very secluded, yet we were able to get to attractions and town pretty quickly. We enjoyed the restaurants in Front Royal. Mom's Kitchen and the Main Stret Mill were outstanding. Highly recommend them we chose not to cook and we ate out while we were there.

Peaceful Location with Great View
The wooded cliffside location overlooking the Shenandoah River was peaceful. The log cabin had a new bedroom/bath addition, wrap around decking and wood and gas fireplaces. The kitchen had all the required utensils. There were a lot of rules and instructions that could be considered helpful. If you're checking in late, bring coffee if you want it in the morning and be prepared to make the bed with the linens provided. A great place for a relaxing weekend or longer stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Cabin is tucked away and has all amenities needed. The wrap around porch provides stunning views - perfect for bird watching! We even spotted some bald eagles. The enclosed outdoor fireplace was perfect for making smores with the kids. We loved everything about this cozy cabin!

Nice place
The cabin and location were great. Saw 3 eagles and an osprey from the deck. The view was excellent. The only reason I didn’t rate it 5 stars was 2 towels for three people for 4 days and $25 for extra towels. Went to Wal-mart and bought towels for $3 each. Would definitely stay again.

Great place to relax
This is a great place to just get away and relax. The host was great under some uncontrollable circumstances. Due to Hurricane Debby, there was no power for several hours. The host kept us updated on the restoration process and made sure we were ok. We all hated to leave!

Cozy Mountainside Cabin
This was our second visit to these lovely cabins. This cliffside cabin with breathtaking views was wonderful. The newly added master bedroom is beautiful, with the biggest, most comfortable bed along with a new bathroom. The only suggestion I would make was to add a motion light in the parking area for return trips to the cabin at night. We will definitely be returning again. Thinking of returning to see the fall foliage.
