I can't say enough good things about this property. The home is absolutely beautiful and so welcoming. The host thought of everything and more to accommodate guests. My family was very comfortable and very happy! The views were spectacular and property so well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked. We cooked our Thanksgiving meal here and we had everything we needed and more. The beds were super comfortable and the baths just perfect. Windy Knoll is truly a gem and by far the best VRBO we have rented and we will be back!

The location of this property is so beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. The only thing that would have helped were the bed sizes. A full bed is just to small abs the rooms could accommodate larger beds.

This is by far our favorite place to stay; I cannot say enough wonderful things about this beautiful rental! The owners were so easy to communicate with and they have thought of absolutely any and everything to make your stay perfect. The house is an absolute gem; decorated beautifully & so much room. The porch was our very favorite, we could have sat there forever watching the wildlife and beautiful mountain views. We were only a few miles from so many wineries and anything else we wanted to do. And it is pet friendly so we were able to bring our pup. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed to stay at Windy Knoll and we cannot wait to come back!

Stayed here a few days as part of larger vacation with my girlfriend, mother and dogs. The property is in a great location and only minutes from everything we like to do. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and had lots of well thought out extras, including for pets. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Mountain Retreat

Windy Knoll is the best of all worlds - a quiet mountain retreat to relax at and disappear into nature, while being close enough to multiple great towns to enjoy what they have to offer as well. The owners clearly love this home, always upgrading to make the experience more enjoyable. Can't get enough of this place!

Beautiful stay in the mountains.

We had the most enjoyable stay in the mountains of Virginia. Perfectly situated for an easy trip to Charlottesville, a hike in Shenandoah national park, a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and so many wineries and breweries. The house itself was fantastic on a beautiful piece of property. So clean, comfortable, with fantastic views. I couldn’t ask for more. Great hosts.
