With its idyllic vistas, wineries, historic towns, and a national park, Shenandoah Valley offers a great backdrop for a relaxing escape—whether that’s a quick weekend getaway, a special family celebration, or a workation.
If you are looking for a West Virginia or Virginia mountain Airbnb in this scenic region, we’ve got you covered. Of course, the main draws are picture-perfect views, privacy, and proximity to restaurants and recreational activities such as hiking and fishing.
We rounded up some of the most spectacular rental homes in Shenandoah Valley—from traditional mountain cabins to modern barns (and even a yurt), which you can book for your next Shenandoah getaway.
Location: Massanuten, Va.
The mountain views from this home are jaw-dropping: It’s perched 2,200 feet above sea level and overlooks the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The beautiful home features four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and a whole lot of cozy wood accents and furnishings. You’ll probably end up spending most of your time in the gorgeous living room with vaulted ceilings and a grand stone wood-burning fireplace.

On the side of a hill overlooking the Shenandoah Valley and Massanutten Mountain, this sprawling home certainly lives up to its name.

There’s plenty to do in the area, too—explore the wineries, shop for antiques in downtown McGaheysville, and stop for a pint at Cave Hills Farm Brewery, which dates back to the 18th century and is still owned by the same family.

Location: Delaplane, Va.
This Airbnb’s chic interiors and striking architecture have won it plenty of accolades in the media. The residence consists of an old barn and a metal silo that house two modern bedrooms and two bathrooms. A deck, a fire pit, and a hammock await guests outside. The home is on 11 private acres. There’s no WiFi and cell service is spotty, so consider this a place to get off the grid for a few days.

Location: Harpers Ferry, WV
Spectacular views? Check. Five-star amenities? Also check. The home has an indoor heated swimming pool, a deck with plenty of seating, a screened-in patio, and a fire pit. But what makes Blarney unforgettable are the mountain views, which seem to be around every corner of the house, thanks to the many windows throughout (including in the bathrooms). And, of course, being Harpers Ferry, there are also plenty of hiking trails, historic sites, and wineries to keep guests busy.
