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.

A relaxing getaway in a beautiful location

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. I spent three nights here with my family including our 3 month old baby and we were all very comfortable. It was well equipped and the facilities such as hot tub, WiFi, tv etc worked really well - we were also able to travel to sights nearby. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful weekend

We had an excellent time at john’s place. Exactly as described with great location and stunning views. The hot tub was a particular hit! Listen to John when he tells you you need an all wheeler! The road up is very steps and unpaved and a larger car is absolutely needed. Would also suggest bringing some more shampoo/shower soap. Overall excellent and would return anytime.

A stunning location and a fantastic house.

There aren’t enough stars to grade this place and location. Excellent welcome pack, well stocked house, comfortable beyond measure... I could go on. I’d recommend this to all my friends without hesitation. I suggest a 4-wheel drive for the climb but to be fair, with good weather on my side our little Corolla managed with a bit of coaxing! Thanks for a fabulous week!

Friendship and relaxation

This was an absolute gem of a place to stay near Shenandoah. It was the perfect location for many activities and things to do. The house itself had everything you would ever need and looked just as advertised on the photos. The host was really helpful and communicative. Favorite thing was sitting in the hot tub at night and looking at the stars. Thank you for an incredible trip we will never forget!
