Star Tannery House | Adorable Cabin at Trout-Stocked Paddy Run Surrounded by GWNF and Hiking Trails

2 Bedroom House in Star Tannery

Welcome to the Dudley at Half Moon. The name reflects our grandfather who built the cabin and aptly describes the face of Half Moon Mountain seen from the property. View our companion cabin the Chester at Half Moon (an adjoining tract) or utilize both for two family vacations!
This updated two story modest cabin is perfect for your getaway! The cabin features an open floor plan and is perfect for a couple's romantic weekend, a group of friends, or for family gatherings! The 58 acre grounds offer you plenty of space to unplug and enjoy a cabin version of "glamping".
Our Vision:
Stop at Strasburg Food Lion or Woodbine Farm Market for groceries on the way in and cook nice dinners in a fully equipped kitchen. We provide spices and some condiments so you don't have to. Enjoy dinner on the covered front porch. Make homemade pasta with the pasta maker. Or unwind with a glass of wine (a complimentary bottle is provided) in the outdoor Pavilion.
The next morning, relax with french press coffee or expresso (we provide!) on the front porch at sun up and watch the deer graze after a sound night of sleep in our comfortable and luxurious beds. You'll never get a better night's sleep. Or walk the property as the sun is coming up - it truly is stunning.
Put dinner in the crockpot and spend the day at a local winery or enjoy nearby hiking (you can throw a rock to the GWNF). Vance's Cove is a short walk away. Paddy Gap (a stocked trout stream) runs through the property - bring fish home for dinner on the grill. Visit Shenandoah National Park or the Archery Camp not far away.
After dinner, lie around in the evening in our fully reclining seating to watch movies or play games on the card table. Cable TV allows access to a full selection of channels and to keep up with the world - although you won't want to. A pool/ping pong table provides hours of fun for the competitive. Or settle in with a good read from our stocked book case.
Walk the paths for a gorgeous view of Half Moon; first thing in the morning with fog rolling off the fields (coffee in hand) is the MOST spectacular.
Nature and wildlife are all around. Listen to the whippoorwills call at night, or view the brightly lit stars. Eagles, hawks and bluebirds to name a few. Fishers (a mustelid mammal) and turkeys add to the list of wildlife not seen in the city!
The water sometimes (rarely) has a sulfuric smell and although treated, we personally prefer not to drink for coffee, drinking, etc.... Please be prepared to bring water and paper products you will need- we do share what we have but only in base amounts. Alternately, feel free to leave yours behind.
Please know we are a family who enjoys sharing our property with you and ask you return the property to us in the same condition as it was provided. We ask you remove your own garbage. Because this ask has not always been respected, we do ask for a trash removal fee if you do not. We also ask please do not invite guests or bring pets if not included in the reservation. Due to the remote location, we do have a security device on the front exterior of the home to monitor the driveways; we do not monitor the entrance to the home itself.
The property is gorgeous and quiet so allow the stresses of the city to fall away. You will hate to leave and want to return soon - just 1 hour from Northern Virginia!

Summary: I have been in the area all of my life and never knew anything about this spot. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here. It was great for isolation (we saw 1 car pass the house all weekend). It was just what we wanted. The house was great, the land was beautiful. I can’t express how quiet and relaxing this home is. Our 2 girls loved it too. They especially like the stream and trying to catch trout!And it’s pet friendly! Can’t wait to come back !

Summary: Stayed here with my partner during a long weekend. Unfortunately, shortly after we arrived, the weather took a turn and we could not complete our stay. We were beyond sad but will be back asap! Carla has been the most accommodating host ever!!!! She was very understanding and was willing to work with us during the snow storm. The cabin is absolutely gorgeous!!! The cabin was clean, has everything and anything you could possibly need and then some. Will definitely be returning customers. Couldn’t not say enough great things about the property and the host. Staying here is an absolute dream!! Thank you Carla for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!!

Summary: We stayed at the cabin for a few days over New Year‘s to enjoy the peace and quietness of the remote area, away from fireworks, because our dog is afraid of them. It’s a great place to go with your furry friend. It has a spacious outdoor area, and there are some hiking paths close by. Overall it was a very comfortable cabin for a peaceful getaway.
