Secluded Mountain Home Features Breathtaking Valley Views and Hot Tub

Nestled in the heart of the historic Shenandoah Valley, Deer Haven is a hidden gem that offers more than just unparalleled views of the valley on twenty secluded acres backing up to the National Forest. This short-term rental is your gateway to a whole world of adventure and relaxation!

Deer Haven's prime location is the perfect hub for those who want to explore the region's natural and historical wonders. Just 100 miles from Washington, DC, and a short drive to Shenandoah National Park, Bryce and Massanutten Ski resorts, and the spectacular Luray Caverns, you'll find yourself spoiled for choice. Experience a slice of history with a visit to the numerous Civil War battlefields or enjoy some leisurely wine-tasting at the nearby wineries and breweries. Hiking and water sports enthusiasts can hit the trails and the Shenandoah River, while antique shop and art gallery enthusiasts can discover hidden treasures in the charming towns along Route 11, including Edinburg and Woodstock.

Deer Haven's warm and welcoming interior is designed for your utmost comfort and convenience. The house features a fully-stocked, eat-in kitchen, three baths, and large decks with a grill, fire pit, and hot tub for relaxing. The living area boasts a fireplace, comfortable seating, and plenty of games to play and books to snuggle up with. Two bedrooms are on the second floor, including a principal bedroom with a wall of windows overlooking the Shenandoah Valley. The private third-bedroom suite is on the ground floor with its own bathroom, sitting room, bunk beds, and screened-in porch with great views.

**NOTE FOR WINTER GUESTS:
Deer Haven's recent paving of the most difficult part of the driveway has made it easier to reach the cabin. However, as the area does occasionally get snow, we require a four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle during winter months. Rest assured, we'll work with you to ensure your safety and comfort during inclement weather. In the unlikely event that the road is impassable, we'll honor a partial or full refund depending on the circumstances.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and experience the peace, quiet, and natural beauty of the Shenandoah Valley at Deer Haven. Keywords: House, chalet, mountain home, getaway, secluded, cabin, views, mountain house, lodge, DC, private, vacation, wildlife.

Had a lovely, relaxing couples trip and it was everything was wanted it to be. It was quiet and secluded, a bit of a bumpy road getting there, but worth what you find at the end! We really enjoyed the observation deck, views, nostalgic classic board game selection, and hot tub.The hosts did a great job of making sure everything we needed was available for a comfortable stay.

Wonderful getaway!

My family truly enjoyed our time at Deer Haven. The setting is so peaceful and remote, and the views are breathtaking, especially at sunset. We loved the fire pit, hot tub and the rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the valley. The house was spotless and so comfortable, it truly was our home away from home for a week!

Getaway

This home was beautiful and had wonderful scenic views since the home was located on the side of the mountain range. The property was clean when we arrived and the property owners were quick to respond to text messages. Fairly close to all the attractions we were looking for. It was a great time!

Beautiful views and great house

We had a terrific stay at this property, which was an easy two hour drive from DC. The views were stunning and the house was very clean and had everything we needed for a nice vacation with our infant and preschooler. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed using the pancake griddle for breakfast. There were great hikes, walks, restaurants, and vineyards within a 10-15 minute drive. This was one of the best properties we’ve rented and we hope to return soon!

Beautiful Mountain Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Deer Haven. The house was very clean and welcoming, offered breathtaking views, was thoughtfully decorated, and stocked with everything you need to make it a home away from home. We enjoyed our morning coffee each day watching the deer and wild turkeys roam the property, and the views of the sunsets were truly amazing! The owners provided so much helpful information well in advance of our arrival, including wonderfully detailed driving directions, local recommendations, and everything we needed to know about the house. That really helped to take the stress out of planning, and we were able to sit back and relax as soon as we stepped through the doorway. A wonderful experience all around. Thank you!

Very pleasant stay

The only downside to Deer Haven is the bumpy mountain road to get there - but that should be expected. Once you arrive however, it is an absolutely stellar experience! We arrived to a very clean home, with fantastic views of the valley. Privacy was great, and the weather was wonderful. I enjoyed waking up and sipping coffee on the front balcony, and my wife and I enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. We will definitely be considering staying here again!

Amazing

My family had such a nice time and the property and location are amazing. We will definitely stay here again! The driveway going up to the house is steep and a little rough at parts. I would recommend a larger vehicle as my car bottomed out on a rock or two. Other than that it was absolutely amazing!

Perfect Weekend Getaway with Friends

The house was exactly what you see in the pictures. Eveything was clean. This was by far the most well stocked kitchen we have seen in any rental. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic. The view from the top of the mountain was spectacular and worth every bit of the 5 minute drive up. We wish we could have used the fire pit but it was too windy. We loved sitting on the deck reading and drinking coffee.

Family Getaway with Great Views

My family stayed at Deer Haven for a long weekend. The road to the house is no joke but the views at the top are totally worth it! The owners sent a super helpful welcome packet a few weeks before check-in which we really appreciated. We visited Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns while enjoying the hot tub and fire pit at night. We also checked out the flea market and went out to eat in nearby Woodstock. The house had plenty of room for us to spread out if needed and lots of space to gather to watch the sunset or play board games. I would love to go back in the fall!

Relaxing long weekend

Everything was as advertised. Gorgeous view and a lovely property to walk. May be the most secluded home we've stayed at and that was lovely. Definitely a good feel for getting away from it all. Bumpy way up the mountain. We were glad to have our all wheel drive. Across 3 beds, every one of us commented on how comfortable the beds and the linens were to sleep in. Well stocked kitchen allowed us to make all meals (except one dinner out) at the house. Highly recommend as a lovely space to escape to.

Perfect weekend getaway!

My boyfriend and I wanted to take a little trip to get away from the stresses of everyday life for the weekend. When we arrived at Deer Haven, not only was the view and the house beautiful, but it smelled so clean when we walked in the door.. and it was! The house was equipped with everything we needed- we just had to bring our own food, drinks, and toiletries. We loved sitting out on the deck taking in the beautiful view while drinking our coffee in the morning or having a glass of wine in the evening. The hot tub was so warm and relaxing and we used the fireplace in the living room which created a warm and cozy atmosphere. Overall, Deer Haven was exactly what we needed to relax and refresh our souls for a few days. Everything was great and we had no reason to reach out to our hosts during our stay as everything was just as described. We were sad to leave but we will definitely be back! Thank you, John, for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Family vacation in the mountains

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had plenty of room for our group of 5. We enjoyed our mountain view both morning with the bird song and evenings with the sunsets. We enjoyed fires at night in the firepit and on our last night fun in the hot tub. Some helpful critiques are to make sure you have 4 wheel drive for all seasons, because the road leading up to the driveway as well as parts of the driveway is badly in need of work. Also, not all the jets are working in the hot tub and the temperature would not go lower than 100°, so we couldn't set it to the 95° stated in the packet. We enjoyed Shenandoah National Park, checked out a winery one day and Luray Caverns another day. All in all it was a wonderful relaxing vacation!

Amazingly beautiful!!!

The property was beautiful, completely beautiful!!! We like to come to the area this time of year to see all of the leaves changing and falling and just take in the amazing surroundings. I can definitely say this has been a favorite. The view was just amazing. When we weren't out hitting the shops and trails, I could have just sat on the porch and took in the view all day. The cabin was perfect for us because we have 9 yr old twins and 2 older boys, 23 and 17, the layout gave them space and we could keep the little ones close to us. It feels like home when your there. Everything was comfortable, there were no complaints. We always joke about which cabin we would buy if we could from our trips and this was absolutely my favorite!!! Thank you so much, it was truly amazing!!!

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Deer Haven. We enjoyed rocking on the front porch, and melting our worries away in the hot tub.

Great place!

My first impression was how clean the place was. We were a total of 5 people and felt there was plenty of room for all of us to feel comfortable. In the room with the open windows, the surmise was beautiful but a sleep mask definitely helps if you don’t want to wake up when the sun comes up!
