Perfect Little Apartment
I was visiting family for the weekend and needed to be back and forth between Monterey and Franklin. This place was great as it was in between both. The apartment is very unique with hand built bunk beds and a great front balcony! We loved it and plan to come back!

Cozy lodging
The location is very convenient and easy to find. There is wifi and some cel signal in an area where service can be spotty. It is secluded and peaceful but not too far from town and supplies. Hosts were very friendly and it is well stocked and comfortable.

Just what we wanted.
This apartment is above a cute store. It has a great layout and is very comfortable. There is a porch swing and you can watch the baby cows frolic. It is an older place with modern conveniences like wifi, Netflix and Amazon Prime. The place is very clean and the owners are very nice and accommodating. I would stay there again.

Wonderful Getaway!
We planned this getaway to see the amazing dark sky in this area and we were not disappointed. The apartment was lovely and cozy and we enjoyed sitting out on the front deck with the porch swing watching the cows across the street. It was a perfect place for our family to have some wonderful together time, we played games and did puzzles and got lots of reading time. We brought our food but the apartment had everything we needed to cook some amazing meals. We set up our telescope in the back yard and got to see the whirlpool galaxy. The stars and night sky were absolutely amazing!!! Can't wait to come back and do it again!

Property is located in a beautiful area convenient to Monterey, VA and the start of the Mt. Momma Bike Challenge. The proprietors are very nice and friendly. Having coffee in the morning while sitting on the balcony was a joy. The apartment is nice, clean and rustic. Very comfortable. If in the area, I would stay again.

Quiet and peaceful
If you like quiet and beautiful scenery, this is the place. We visit the Blue Ridge and the Shannondoah Valley quite often. However the scenery on the way to this property was breathtaking. Not like anything we have seen before. The apartment is upstairs, so it may not be ideal for the "weak kneed" lol! There are windows on every side of the house. We opened them For an awesome breeze.The master bed and pillows very comfortable. I slept through the night. The front porch is awesome to sit and drink your coffee on. We would stay here again.

Pleasant Step Back in Time
This apartment is clean, comfortable, rustic, and has the basic necessities. Nothing fancy and just what we wanted. Owner was very nice, responsive, and answered all questions that we had. If you want to get away from the city and get away from over commercialization, this apartment and the Highlands area are great. Peaceful relaxing views of mountains, livestock, nature, and country life! Kirby C.

Relaxing and comfortable
Our stay was very nice. Our hosts were very communicative and helpful! The apartment has windows facing all four cardinal directions and that was really nice! Super comfy couch too, and beautiful wooden furniture. The bath tub truly is a boat. I could lay down in it completely stretched out and I’m five and half feet tall! We plan on coming back!

Cozy old fashioned shop keepers apartment in the country
Very unique old fashioned and cozy mountain feel. Nice gas stove and oven with roomy living room with games checkers, puzzles, TV with Hulu access. I would say the only down side coming from a city slicker is the strong smell of iron in the shower water. Also because it’s along a country highway you can hear the traffic. But a really neat place and three bunks really four actually for the kids. There’s a neat boutique shop and eggs and meat store below worth checking out. We bought fresh ground beef for our chili and ummm was it good!

Peace & quiet
This is my second time this year staying in this wonderful apartment. The place is impeccably clean, fully stocked with anything you could ever need, strong WiFi to telework (if you must) and a balcony with a swing to sip your morning coffee watching the cows across the street and listening to the river. Top notch dark sky for stargazing from the backyard (no light pollution). A quick drive to fantasying wilderness & whiling in WV. The owner is very attentive and responsive.

We Had a Great Stay
We loved this historic property, which was prepared very well for us. the host even happened to bake some banana nut bread she left for us as a treat. There were mountains all around for us to look at, which we loved. Coffee in the morning out back, happy hour on the balcony. We could hear the stream in the distance. Nice!

Quaint, comfortable, and great views!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It looked even better than the pictures. Also there is a fantastic front porch with wonderful views of surrounding farmland, hills, and mountains. The home is also a relatively close drive to some great hiking locations in West Virginia

Spacious, comfortable, relaxing home away from home
Easy, friendly contact with owner and access to property. Spacious, open plan LR, DR, kitchen. Country decor with lots of natural wood, gas fireplace and tasteful, bright tiles. HUGE, natural tile tub and shower, great for a relaxing soak! A thoroughly comfortable and pleasant home away from home. I enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this convenient and comfortable VRBO.
