Secluded Log Cottage Hot tub on Deck Two Person Whirlpool Tub Fire Place wifi


Romantic...Private...Honeymoon...Anniversary...or just because. You want to get away! Hemlock Hollow is located on 5 wonderfully wooded acres.

Great for Bird watching! Winter is Hawks, Owls, and woodpeckers. Recently a Peregrine Falcon was spotted on Tanners Ridge Road. He Flew Right in front of my Truck chasing a song bird. Vero's and Warblers, phoebes are among our visitors in the Spring.

Hemlock Hollow..is a 2 bedroom Custom Built Log home with Cathedral Ceilings and a Two-Person indoor Whirlpool Tub....and a Hot tub on Expanded Deck!....

Marvelously secluded, Hemlock Hollow is nestled in a High Mountain Hollow next to a Babbling Brook..... The Cabin is located just outside the Shenandoah National Park near Big Meadows. Cabin is a 1 1/2 mile hike from skyline drive via Tanner's Ridge road gate. Foot, Mountain Bike, and Hoarse traffic allowed via this access.

Watch the sunset from the covered porch...Take in nature from the outside breakfast nook bridging the porch and deck...... Relax on deck to catch the sparkling night sky after grilling dinner.... Maybe you'd rather just sit around the campfire....

...There's plenty to do with hiking to Big Meadows or fishing in the nearby private pond. All the activities of Luray and the Shenandoah Valley are just 20 minute drive away....

Hemlock Hollow is... Americans with Disabilities Act, ( or ADA) Compliant. There are 29 Cleverly built-in ADA features. ....The ADA features work well with Families with young Children, 0-5 and toddlers....

We have a camp fire ring a few steps from the Deck. Free use of Downed wood. Within 10 minutes of foraging you will get all the wood needed. This also helps prevents wild fires.

In the past pandemic years we have had inconsistent reviews. Several issues are supply chain related. With hot tubs we have replaced 5 control panels, three pumps, and 1 main panel.

In several instances there has been a lack of understanding. Hot tubs cannot overcome all weather at all times. At temperatures below 50f, if the lid is left off, the tub will cool. At 10f the tub will cool rapidly.

Hot tubs heat at a constant rate. Turning up the temperature does not make the tub heat faster. The tub will heat until it satisfies the temperature sensor. We have several point of use instructions. Guest are responsible for management of the tub during the length of the contract.

Patience and logic are needed in operating all of the devices within the building... Please take a deep breath, read the instructions, or take a minute to figure out to your understanding how something works.

Much needed TLC
This cabin needs much work, i understand where it is you will have mice and critters but the cabin has alot of mouse droppings that are not cleaned up , the pots and pans to use for cooking are in poor condition, we weren't able to use the grill no propane, the microwave had mouse droppings coming out of the vent , the wooden deck has boards coming up , and the door lock is not very secure . I wouldn't even say the cabin needs updating it needs TLC and more attention to detail. There is no comfortable place to sit it has a futon and a corner made couche that isn't very comfortable. We did contact the host because the microwave stopped working he was very nice and offered to come and help as he was on the way it started to work. At the time we didn't mention things that we found since it wasn't all at once. I didn't feel right about calling him everytime we noticed something my husband and i just made the best of what we had since we are 6 hours away we couldn't just pack up. So when we left i texted him to tell him. I just hope that he checks everything out and changes will be made. Also if you are a shower person. There is a hot tube in the bathroom but no shower on the hot tub is a shower hose . So if you aren't a tub person you may want to consider that. As i said i didn't contact the host everytime something happened cause i would have contacted him more than one time over the course of 4 days. I did ask for what he felt was a far refund but no refund .

Worst experience ever
There was no stay. The property owner did not provide a code to access the property. There was a backup plan communicated that I trusted would be honored. It was not. There was a phone at the back of the house, but there was no dial tone for this non-working phone. I took a picture of the 2 toll free numbers so I could drive back out to where I had cell phone service. Once there, no one answered the phone on either number. No one returned my call as I had requested, either. If that wasn’t bad enough, VRBO has done nothing to help except act in abusive, unethical, and unprofessional ways- more than implying that my inability to access the property was my fault. Unbelievable. VRBO took my money and has done nothing but give me the runaround since that time.

Unfortunately I was very unpleased with this place. There is absolutely no view, the cabin is sitting on a hill in the woods. The campfire ring is also sitting directly on the hill. The hot tub is not HOT. The cabin is infested with wasps. I killed about 7 during my stay, one being in the bed sheets, and as I laid down it stung me on my arm! There is mouse poop everywhere, I laid awake one night just listening to the mice! There is no shower!!!! Only a jacuzzi tub. The whole place is just dirty. You can tell just by looking up at the ceiling, and especially outside at the window frames, the entire place is just kinda rigged together. I would not recommend!! Definitely not worth even half the money.

No frills….just chillz
We had a great time getting away and having a secluded, private and peaceful place to stay. We drove around Shenandoah’s Sky Line Dr and came back to amazing weather and spent a few hours in the hot tub. Accessing the property was easy peasy and the property manager was super quick to respond to any questions. Very relaxing, exactly what we needed! With that being said…the cleanliness was my biggest issue. The futon in the living room is red with black stains all over it, just filthy. We had to cover it with a comforter to sit on it without being grossed out. It wouldn’t be too big of an issue if it wasn’t the only comfortable place to sit in the room aside from the wooden bench with the thinnest cushions on it. The mats on the floor in the bedroom were a bath mat on one side and a toilet mat on the other, I couldn’t help but wonder how old and dirty these may be. Cabinet door in one bedroom was broken and hanging from one hinge. It would be a nice cabin that I would come back to with a little TLC and some more comfortable seating in the living room.

We had a great time here. Very secluded, nice looking cabin, hot tub, and close to Luray, which my wife has never been so we went there on her birthday. All in all it was a nice escape and we would go back again. However there are some things you need to know before booking. 1. There is WiFi, but the password isn't provided so you have to ask. I recommend asking before you go, since there is absolutely no cell service there. 2. No cell service. There is supposed to be a land line, but you couldn't make calls only recieve calls. 3. The only communication we had with Patrick was through the VRBO website, even though we told him we had no cell service and he had to call us on the cabin phone. He still answered on the VRBO site. In order to get cell service to check the website we had to drive all the way back to the entrance of the community. Thankfully he did respond to my message on the VRBO site, but again, we had to drive to find cellular service. It took us two hours to get set up and comfortable. 4. The hot tub was clean, full, and nice. We enjoyed it two nights while we were there, the third night snowed and we just didn't feel like going out in it. The only issue is that the jets are extremely weak, not like my hot tub at all. 5. Two person whirlpool tub. Ver spacious, clean, and it looked nice. The only problem we had was that the jets did not work. We tried everything but it still didn't work. The wife still loved it. I would go back.

Cabin in the woods
Spend the Easter weekend with the family in the cabin, and we got what we where looking for. If you want to get away from things this place is right, no cell service (Verizon, ATT), but there's WiFi if you want to stay connected or want to prevent some meltdowns, sat TV and Netflix are available You're away from everything, off a gravel road with some nice ditches, so don't bring your lowered sport car, and I'm not sure if there's any grub-hub coming out there, so make sure you bring what you need. The well water from the tap is fine. Now, this is a wood cabin, the doors might to close 100% and there are some gaps in the walls and you will hear what's going on in the neighboring rooms. Also, you're in the wood, there will be bugs and critters you will have to live with it, and as you're in a forrest you're not having much of a view but trees and sky. Now, to the reason many are looking for this cabin, yes, the hot tub works, but it's running on 110V, changing water temps will take a while. When arrived it was at 86F, getting it up to 104F took until the next day, it was freezing overnight, what probably didn't help to heat up faster. As a verdict, we expected all of this, hence we enjoyed our stay a lot, and my son is asking when we're going back to the cabin.

Worst experience of our lives
Just to start, we never stayed. Why? The lock was not working and no one would answer our calls for help. After spending the day in our car with our senior dog to get there, not being able to get in is bad enough. But the phone that is on the back of the cabin didn't work so we had to drive up and down the mountain to get cellphone service to call the numbers given for no one to answer or reply to the voicemail we left. Once returning to the town of Stanley, VRBO answered and said an agent would call us back for other accommodations (because Patrick the owner could not be reached) after being on hold for over 3 hours during our drive back home, they never answered or called us back. Once finally home, Patrick finally responded to a message sent to him on the VRBO sight. It was 10 Pm! Said he was in a meeting from 6-8. We originally called and left a voicemail with him at 530. And even though he had gotten out if his meeting at 8 he never called us. Ever!!! Then all said and done, he didn't want to give us a full refund because him canceling would cause him to pay a fee! But he wanted me to pay the fee? I just also wanted to drop the little side note that it was my anniversary and it was completely ruined!!! Again, worst experience with VRBO and a property owner ever. And of course he claims the lock was fine the day before when the cleaning crew was there. I beg to differ because we looked in the hot tub that was running and it was not full and it was filthy and smelled bad! This guy is a liar and makes constant excuses! Just look back at all of his reviews. His responses are all just excuses and blaming everyone else. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS MAN!!!!

Business Retreat
This property was exactly what we needed. Aside from the critters that came to visit it was overall a fun stay. A bit of a moldy smell in the bathroom and cob webs in many corners, some bugs around but that’s to be expected. The only unfortunate factor was the mice that were scurrying about, I caught one running from the built in couch across the room onto the built in table then up the wall and behind a crack over the stove which was a little concerning. Also the jets int the tub did not work. Aside from those small instances. It was a great trip my wife and I were able to reconnect and gain some head way towards our business ventures. We were able to really focus and get away from the hectic daily life and enjoy the peace that this wonderful cabin had to offer.

Needs TLC
The locations of the cabin was nice and secluded. The view is mainly of the mountain side. The cabin was very warm from the fireplace so it stayed very cozy. However, the cabin could use some TLC and cleaning. The tv in the living room is very old. There is directv and very good Wi-Fi (no cell service, we have Verizon). The cabin could use a good cleaning. The fan and door ways had cobwebs and lots of dust. The jets in the bath tub had dirt and debris. The hot tub was the worse though. There was a ring around the hot tub, a musty odor and the water was not clear. We were not comfortable getting in there! We enjoyed each other and the towns surrounding. This cabin has ALOT of potential…. If it was actually cleaned well!

Hot tub and furniture issues
The hot tub was not working. We were directed to fill the hot tub up with water as it only had about 25% of the tub full. It took an hour to fill the tub. We were promised the maintenance man would come within 45 minute. It didn't happen. We messaged he never showed and they latered promised he would come to put chemicals into the tub the next day. The next day we had to message again and they finally showed up after sundown. The hot tub never got hot and was unusable for the stay. The furniture is very hard to sit on as are the beds. Expect to not wake up relaxed but with back pain. The unit was not designed well. The floor tiles in bathroom were loose. The coffee maker didn't work. The TV does not get reception. The puzzles provided for entertainment are missing pieces. If you want a no frills cabin that may not have a working hot tub, this may be your place. Other wise I would look elsewhere. One good thing is the heat works well. In my honest opinion, I will not return. I go to cabins at least twice a year and this one is off the return to list.
