"The Love Nest" - Stunning Views overlooking the Shenandoah in Wine Country

The Love Nest overlooks the Shenandoah Valley and perches high on a mountain with thousands of acres on all sides including the Thompsons Wildlife Reserve & Appalachian Trail. It is a breathtaking place full of wonder and beauty every season! Wake up watching a beautiful sunrise while sipping coffee from your porch with glorious mountain views. The Love Nest is a great place to rest, relax, & recharge in a quiet, tranquil setting. Located just 3 miles off Rt. 66, it is centrally located near wineries, hiking, sightseeing, events, restaurants, and more!

The Love Next has all the luxuries you want in a setting, and you will not want to leave! With a private entrance and beautiful porch where you can sit and look at the Shenandoah mountain view's while watching the stunning sunsets as the stars come out in the evening. It is the perfect setting for relaxing in your bar deck chairs in front of a propane firepit while enjoying a glass of wine and dinner. The daily sounds of birds singing around The Nest is a sweet symphony to your ears. Keep an eye out for wild turkeys, deer, fox, 3 horses, 5 bounding love-bug doggies, and birds in the fields as they frequent The Nest throughout the day and evening. In the spring and fall migratory birds temporarily make their home here as well as they fuel up for their journey. If you love peace, quiet, and tranquility, the Nest is the place for you!

Farmer’s Market
Located in The Plains 15 minutes away is a great farmer’s market called Archwood Green Barns Farmer’s Market just off Route 66. It is only open Sunday from 10AM – 2PM but is worth the trip if you like fresh food, bread, and meats. They even have some vendors who sell goods.
Hiking

Five miles away is Sky Meadows State Park with 22 miles of trails as well as horseback riding trails and fishing. At Shenandoah National Park (27 miles) there are a bunch of hiking trails ranging from the novice (moderate 1 hour hikes) to expert (strenuous 7 hours hikes!)

Note:
Stink Bugs
If you see one in the window in the kitchen, I have a small Vacuum by the window and if you be so kind as to suck them up so they don't smell. You don’t want to swat them for they will stink. That's what I get for living by so many Orchards. Speaking of Orchards there are two at the bottom of 688 before Rt.66 Stribbling Orchards, and Heartland over the railroad tracks 688. They have apples, strawberries, blueberries, peaches, jams, honey, pumpkins, and all kinds of goodies (depending on the season).
