Would stay again

House is very spacious and was great for entertaining a group of people. Grill was not functional at the time of our stay but there was a flattop that worked. Bit of a bumpy ride getting to the house but once you’re there it’s smooth sailing.

Great Weekend Away With Friends

11 of us stayed in this house for a long weekend and it was perfect for our group. Lots of space, beds, huge hot tub, and nearby many hikes and wildlife. We were told there would be firewood and it was not delivered until our final day which was a bummer since we would have liekd to enjoy fires the other two nights, but overall it was a great rental.

Beautiful house in quiet remote location

This house is so pretty! And the pictures are accurate! It was very clean, and we loved our stay! The driveway way was a little much for us Midwest flat paved road kind of people, but we did just fine. So quiet and picturesque. We had a nice relaxing vacation here. I would absolutely recommend this house!

We came with a family of 18! The house suited us beautifully! We had most of the kids upstairs in the loft with girls on one side and boys on the other. All of the bedrooms had very comfortable beds. 3 bedrooms had their own private bathrooms which was really nice. The property is secluded enough the kids could run around outside without disturbing anyone. We would gladly stay again!

Not great

Not very clean, there was even still leftover coffee and used grounds in the coffee pot when we arrived. Trash bins were still full from the people before us. The grill and black stone were absolutely disgusting with food and grime. We had to clean and scrub them before we could even think of using them. Dishwasher was unhinged from the wall. There is a sign hanging that states that only three water sources can be used at a time or water will automatically turn off altogether and you have to call maintenance. Seems that should be mentioned online rather than finding out upon arrival. Only one pool stick had a tip. There was a hornets nest outside one of the bedrooms near the swing. We texted the number given for assistance and no one ever responded. Not enough towels were provided for 20 people. Just alot of things unfortunately and would not stay here again.

Needs some love.

The pictures on line of course were deceiving. The property needs repairs and basic upkeep. The dishwasher was not secured to the cabinet. The kitchen faucet needs repaired. Except for the master bedroom, the house looked “tired”. At least four of the outside chairs did not have seats that were useable. There was garbage still in the outside cans from a previous renter and this was not emptied during our stay. The hot tub’s jets and temperature was subpar. The pool table cues were all missing the cork tips. General upkeep of house was poor. This is our first time renting from VRBO and will make us think before we would again.

Beautiful home and location

We loved your home and location! We had a few issues, including two very dirty grills (with food parts left behind). We called and you sent someone up right away, however, did just a mediocre job at cleaning. We ended up cleaning both extensively ourselves. The closets were unusable until we cleaned them as well. The outdoor waterpark was not open yet and most of the indoor park (the kids section) was shut down for renovations. You should state on your listing that you need to contact the waterpark ahead of time to inquire about closings.

Amazing mountain getaway!

Could not be any happier…Hensley Hollow Lodge was fantastic!!! We were so pleasantly surprised at how a home that can accommodate/slerp 22 was truly spacious enough to be together without being on top of each other and the views were spectacular! Beds (& pillows) were very comfortable. Easy drive (10-12 minutes) to a grocery. Kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need (2 coffee pots and even 2 crock pots!). Having a second full fridge on the lower level for beverages or food overflow (to cut down on the grocery runs) was a big plus! Hope to be able to return for another visit soon!

I was originally worried that the group of 14 would feel a bit crowded - not at all! My only suggestion is to stock the foosball table with balls. Other than that the space was perfect.

Friend Fourth of July Stay in Shenandoah

We loved staying at this beautiful lodge in a perfect location in Shenandoah National Park. The home was beautiful, clean and appointed with all the necessities we needed. It was pet friendly, and even though we were bringing 2 black labs ourselves, we were skeptical of the quality of the house for our high-brow bunch and it was PERFECT! Comfy beds. Quiet and remote - but close to park entrance, grocery and more. We hope to be back! TripForth was a wonderful host!!

Spacious and comfortable

The property is very spacious, able to sleep our several friends comfortably. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. The hot tub is also quite large. The living room is very spacious and the views from those large windows are to die for. My only suggestion to the manager is that the game room machines were in poor condition - the foosball table has broken handles, the darts are mostly broken and the pool table sticks were broke. However upon communication with the manager, we received good pool sticks.

Beautiful location!

The house was beautiful and well stocked. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. It was less clean under beds and couches, as well as the dishes in the kitchen. Since we had a dog, we had to clean the debris under things so she wouldn’t eat things. The property managers were wonderful to work with! The views were stunning and the cabin was gorgeous. It would be nice to have on the description the steepness of the driveway just to give people a heads up. Overall we have an amazing stay and would come back!
