Skyward Shenandoah | Near Vineyards + Skyline Dr

Welcome to Skyward Shenandoah, a three-bedroom home with mountain views and nearly three acres of open lawn. Ease into the day with coffee on the deck, then gather around the fire table as the sun sets over the ridge. A main-level living room and lower-level rec room give six guests space to spread out. Reitano Vineyards and the Front Royal entrance to Skyline Drive are nearby. The home borders Front Royal Airport, so you may hear small planes passing at times.

The home is laid out across two levels, with three bedrooms and room for six. Upstairs, the living room, kitchen, and dining room flow into one another, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. Downstairs, a rec room and the lower-level suite give part of the group its own space, with doors out to the porch, the deck, and the yard. It works just as well for a wedding party getting ready together as it does for two families sharing a long weekend.

The home sits directly next to the Front Royal Airport, a small local airport for private planes, so they pass overhead as they take off and land. Passing planes can be briefly loud.

🍽️ Gather
The living room is where the day starts and ends, with a leather sofa and armchair, open shelves of games and books, and a wide window that frames the fields and mountains. Through the arch, the kitchen is set up for group meals: a full range, a stainless French-door refrigerator, a butcher-block island for prep, and a granite breakfast bar where someone can keep the cook company. The coffee station, with two coffee makers and a kettle, sits by the door to the deck, so the first cup can go straight outside.

The dining room opens right off the living room, with a long farmhouse table and bench where the whole group can sit down together.

🎬 Play
Downstairs, the rec room is where the group ends up after dinner. Settle onto the sofa in front of the TV and electric fireplace, claim the cushioned window seat with a book, or spread a game across the table for four. Board games, Jenga, and giant Connect Four are ready to go, and a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and sink keeps drinks and snacks close. Foosball waits in the three-season room, and cornhole comes out on the lawn.

🛏️ Rest
With three bedrooms, Skyward Shenandoah sleeps 6, with space for the whole group to settle in at the end of the day. The primary bedroom has a king bed, a wall-mounted TV, and an ensuite with a double vanity and a walk-in tiled shower. Bedroom 2, on the main level, has a queen bed and a papasan chair by the window for a quiet read.

On the lower level, the third bedroom works as a second primary suite, with a king bed, a TV, and a desk with a built-in shelf for a day of work. Its bathroom, which also opens to the hallway, has a tub and shower combination, as does the hall bathroom.

♨️ Unwind
The lower-level three-season room has an outdoor sofa, rockers, and foosball, with French doors out to the yard. It is not separately heated or cooled, so it is best enjoyed from spring through fall. Beside it, the two-level back deck is made for long evenings: gather in the Adirondack chairs around the propane fire table while dinner comes off the grill, and watch the post lights come on along the railings at dusk. Out front, a covered porch runs the width of the house, facing the lawn and the mountains.

One of our favorite times here is early evening, when the light drops toward the mountains and the whole lawn turns gold.

🍷 Explore
Reitano Vineyards, one of the area's newest vineyards, wineries, and wedding venues, is a 2-minute drive away, which makes the home an easy base for a wedding weekend. Shenandoah National Park and the entrance to Skyline Drive are 7 minutes away, with overlooks, waterfall hikes, and the Appalachian Trail along the route. Downtown Front Royal has restaurants, shops, and groceries for everything in between.

Guests have access to the entire home, both porches, the deck, and the yard, except storage spaces.

A vehicle is needed to get around. Paved roads lead all the way to the home, and the driveway fits up to four vehicles.

📕 Property Guide • Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive a detailed digital guide with property-specific information, directions, FAQs, and our favorite wineries, hikes, restaurants, and outdoor adventures.

🐕 Pet Policy • Up to two dogs are welcome per stay. Our pet fee is $75 per pet and is automatically added to your reservation total when pets are included in your search. Additional dogs may be considered case by case. Service animals are always welcome, and we appreciate advance notice so we can notify our cleaning team. In Virginia, emotional support animals are treated as pets and subject to the same policies and fees.

🚗 Vehicle Access & Parking • The home is reached by paved roads the whole way. Standard 2WD is fine most of the year; during snow or ice, AWD or 4WD is recommended and occasionally required, and we’ll share access guidance ahead of any winter storm. The driveway accommodates up to four vehicles.

📶 Connectivity • High-speed WiFi supports streaming, remote work, and video calls. Cell service can be limited in the mountains, but WiFi calling keeps you connected. The home is equipped with smart TVs, and while standard cable is not available, guests are welcome to log into their own streaming accounts.

📷 Smart Home Technology • For security, the home has exterior cameras that monitor exterior entrances and the driveway. No camera captures any part of the interior of the property.

🚼 Family-Friendly Amenities • Traveling with little ones? A pack ’n play, full-size high chair, and children’s tableware are provided.

🧯 Safety & Cleanliness • All bedding, linens, and quilts are freshly laundered between stays. Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are installed throughout, with fire extinguishers on each level, plus flashlights and lanterns for the rare mountain power outage.

🦌 Wildlife & Surroundings • Skyward Shenandoah is surrounded by nature, and it is common to see deer, rabbits, foxes, wild turkeys, and the occasional black bear. Please avoid leaving food, trash, or scented items outdoors, as these attract wildlife. While the home is serviced by a professional pest control company, occasional insects may make their way inside. Let us know if anything seems out of the ordinary.

✈️ Front Royal Airport • The home sits next to the Front Royal Airport, a small local airport used by private planes, with no airline flights. Planes take off and land throughout the day, and the sound can be briefly loud as a plane passes.

🏡 Privacy • The home sits well back on about three acres of open lawn, but this is a rural residential area with neighbors nearby, so we ask guests to be considerate, particularly when enjoying the deck and fire table in the evening.

🌡️ Heating & Cooling • The home has central heating and air conditioning. The three-season room off the rec room is not separately heated or cooled, so it can run warm in summer and cool in winter.

🔥 Fireplace & Grill • The lower-level electric fireplace is available year-round. The propane fire table and grill on the deck are available year-round, with propane provided. Instructions are in the property guide.

🧹 Property Care & Updates • We continually improve Skyward Shenandoah to enhance guest comfort, so furniture or décor may differ slightly from photos. During your stay, our landscaping or pest control team may service the property as needed, and we will notify you in advance whenever possible. These visits are brief, exterior only, and do not require access inside the home.
