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.

This was the second time we've had a girls' weekend at this property. I came her with four of my friends a few months ago, and we liked it so much that we booked another weekend at the beginning of October. The house is lovely, and unbelievably clean! We appreciated that so much. The kitchen is well-stocked. There are two separate living spaces as well as ample decking with beautiful views. The master bedroom has a beautiful view of the mountains. The hosts have provided many games and books. There is a fire-pit area, and a hot tub on the deck, which we used. Also, a few of us went hiking on local trails. Mostly we just hung around the house and enjoyed ourselves, though. We all highly recommend this property, and I'm sure we'll be back. Thank you so much to our hosts!

Lovely home with beautiful views off deck, well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds and pillows, large TV and wonderful hot tub we used twice. Serene and quiet, surrounded by nature. We enjoyed many hikes and Luray Caverns nearby…one of my family’s more relaxing getaways!

I see why every review says exceptional. This property is amazing. The view and the setup to take it in from the deck and the house is incredible. Loved the hot tub setup as it makes it super easy to get in and out. The place was super clean and had everything you need in the kitchen. Definitely a place we would love to go back to!

Gorgeous peaceful retreat! Booked a last minute stay for my family of four, and could not have been more pleased. Everything was clean, comfortable, and the setting was beautiful. From morning coffee on the deck to stargazing it was as perfect. John’s welcome packet has great tips for nearby restaurants and sites that we enjoyed, and lots of helpful info. Would go back in a heartbeat.

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. My sisters and I talked well into the night, then slept like rocks in the well appointed bedrooms. It is a beautiful place inside with the beauty of nature surrounding us outside.

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!

This airbnb (Deer Haven)is just lovely. It is just like the pictures and incredibly clean! I actually couldn't get over how clean it is. Everything is well-stocked - the kitchen, linens, etc. The surrounding area is beautiful. John, the owner, supplies plenty of info about things to do in the area; but we just hung around, relaxed, enjoyed the view and used the hot tub. John also replied to our messages promptly. There were no problems - we just messaged him to say how much we were enjoying ourselves. We even booked another weekend in the fall already. The only important thing to be aware of is the final part of the drive - the path up the mountain. It's rocky and very narrow -no passing possible - and has a couple steep parts and tricky turns. I don't think a two wheel drive vehicle would make it, and I wouldn't do it after dark. My friends and I are already looking forward to our next visit in October.

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.

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!

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!
