Bluebird Hill Cabin is a beautifully decorated cabin (house) with 3 bedrooms & 3 ½ baths located in the Shenandoah Valley of Front Royal. Our custom built cabin sits on 3 acres at the end of a quiet cul-de sac. Gorgeous views of the Blue Ridge Mountains along Skyline Drive as well as the Massanutten Mountains. The Shenandoah River can be seen in the Fall and Winter with glimpses between the leaves in Spring and Summer too.Hosting since 2018 with over 150 -5 star reviews.

The cabin has 2 en suite bedrooms with KING beds and an additional KING in the 3rd bedroom. The large master on the main level boasts a walk in closet and a bathroom with double sinks and a tub. Walk out to the deck to enjoy your own semi private sitting area. The 2nd master bedroom, although smaller (cozy) in size, is located on the 2nd loft level. It is accessed by a set of regular stairs and is fully enclosed. There is a stand up shower. Incredible mountain and river views and privacy! The 3rd master is in the basement and includes a KING bed and a twin. The full bath next to this bedroom has a stand up shower.
All bedrooms have flat screen televisions.

Additional ½ bath on the main level.
The comfortable great room has 2 reclining chairs, 2 sofas and a reading chair. The dining table seats 8. There are also 2 high chairs available.

THE DRIVE: Note- the one mile dirt road to get to our cabin is not state owned. It’s not steep, but it is full of potholes. Slow and steady will get you to the cabin. You do not need a truck or 4 wheel drive. HOWEVER- months where snow is in the forecast will require 4 wheel drive, as we do not know when or if someone will plow. Parking is unlimited.

SECURITY: For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, Bluebird Hill Cabin is equipped with three functional security cameras that visually capture recordings. Each camera operates continuously, recording 24/7. One camera is dedicated to capturing activity at the front door, another is positioned to monitor the driveway, and the third is located on the basement porch, focusing on the door.

Most Importantly, no cameras are placed inside the house, underscoring our strong commitment to prioritizing both your safety and privacy.

PETS: Well behaved dogs older than 1 will be considered. We limit the number to 2 to cut down on the wear and tear to our home. Make sure to let us know the breed, temperament and age of your dog. We will also ask you to verify that your pet is on a flea & tick preventative.
NOTE: $100 per pet charge if you neglect to inform us that you are bringing a dog.

We have spent quite a bit of time making sure our cabin has everything you will need to make your stay comfortable.
We have been inviting friends & family to enjoy our cabin since 2012. We now extend the invitation to you.

SO MUCH TO DO:
Canoe/ Kayak/ Raft - In case you didnt know, Front Royal is the canoe capital of the world. Rent or bring your own.
Skyline Drive- Hiking and biking is great, but you can also just DRIVE. Lots of places to stop and picnic.
Stargaze- The night sky comes alive at our cabin in the woods.
Sit and Stare- The mountain view is ever changing with the weather and seasons. It is always a good time to sit on the deck. We do not have water access, but we have a great view of the Shenandoah in late fall and winter. You can hear the water flowing from the cabin.
Fire pit- Nothing like a good kumbaya at the end of a perfect day.
Wine- We can suggest a number of excellent wineries within 30-40 minutes of the cabin.
Beer- There are a few breweries in the area and more are popping up yearly.
Hike / Bike- Skyline drive, Shenandoah State Park and Guest State Park are short drives away.
Dinosaurs- Dinosaur Land. A silly must see-for the young dino fan. (very 50s)
History- If you are a history buff you will know just what to do. Otherwise check the digital guidebook for areas of interest.
Golf- If interested, check the digital guidebook for notes on local courses. $-$$$.
Bird watching- When the bears are hibernating, we will leave you some bird seed to put out. You should be able to get a glimpse of a woodpecker or 2 and lots of other native birds. There are also marked bird watching trails close by.
Caverns- Skyline cavern is super close. Luray caverns is approximately 30-40 minutes.
Absolutely Nothing- You can do everything or nothing at all. Your vacation, your choice.

No traffic noise, no street lights. Come to relax with family, friend and nature. This is not a typical "rental". It is owner managed and has everything you will need to call it home for the short time you are here. It may seem a world away, but our cabin is really very close to everything. 15-30 minutes away from Skyline Drive, wineries, caverns, hiking, biking, golf, antiquing, history, festivals and so much more.
