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

3 Bedroom House in Maurertown, Star Tannery

Welcome to the Chester at Half Moon. The name honors our father who provided the privilege of sharing this land and aptly describes the face of Half Moon Mountain seen from the property. Check out our reviews at our companion cabin (an adjoining tract) at the Dudley at Half Moon, or, enjoy both properties for multi-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 17 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 for reservations of 7 nights or more!) on the spacious front porch.
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 hiking on the trail just outside the door. 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. Sling TV allows access to a full selection of channels and to keep up with the world - although you won't want to. An air hockey table and dart board provides hours of fun for the competitive. Or settle in with a good read from our stocked book case.
Take a walk 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 to please do not bring pets or invite additional guests, 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: Property was great, very remote and therefore very peaceful. If you are looking for a place to get away, this is a great choice. My kids had fun walking the trails and exploring and the dogs had plenty of safe room to run. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, silverware, cookware, etc. There were also plenty of spices for cooking. The beds were comfortable and the WiFi worked well. Will definitely stay again if we find ourselves back in the area.

Summary: We had such a wonderful time in this all accommodating, cozy, beautiful cabin! We caught trout in Paddy Creek that we brought back to the cabin and cooked for dinner. We hiked the trail behind the cabin through the national park. We relaxed!! A much needed getaway from the hustle and bustle!

Summary: The cabin was well stocked, kitchen needs and with blankets. It was a roomy, pleasant atmosphere, internet was in and out. The road into the cabin was dirt/gravel until the last 300 ft or so which was a very rutted uneven lane with brush growing up on the side and needs to be trimmed out. The house is two story and one bedroom and bath are in the basement, very cold and damp. The heat could have been turned up prior to arrival, maybe on the day of, it never really got comfortable in the basement. We were given one towel, one washcloth for a 3 night stay. There was one dish towel and one dishcloth, no laundry on this site. It's okay not to have a laundry, but maybe say that you will be given one towel etc. in the description. I have not been to a VRBO yet that did not have a closet full of towels etc. for use. A map of the area might have been nice so the walking trails were visible. The trail has an arrow off the property, but beyond? The trash had to be removed from the site upon exiting. The transfer station is 8 miles away on a very winding road. I expect to remove trash, but not have to take it with me, usually it is deposited outside in a receptacle. The plus was a well stocked kitchen with most any pan/utensil/small appliance you might need, although there was no dish soap and no dish drainer. Definitely carry in drinking water and paper products. Overall an okay stay.

Summary: The location was exactly what we needed and wanted. If you want to totally relax, get semi off the grid, this is your place. Take a hike and take it all in. Thank you to our hosts for making such a great property available.

Summary: A friend and I got away with my dogs for the weekend. It turned out to be in the middle of a huge snow event but we still managed to make it to the property using AWD and stayed for the weekend. The cabin is well-equipped and we brought groceries. The fireplace is wonderful. The cabin had trails right behind the property. There were movies to just pop in, and plenty of places inside to just read and relax. Just wonderful.

Summary: I don't even know where to begin. This was exactly the reset my husband and I needed. From the moment we drove up to the cabin and walked inside, we felt so relaxed. We love the outdoors and for a weekend in December, it was quite warm. The breaks in the rain allowed us to walk the trail with our dogs. When the weather was not cooperative, it gave us the chance to curl up inside and watch a movie or play a game. It almost seemed as if the decor was meant for us. Our favorite color is green, we were married by Elvis in Vegas, we have a black lab, and Im a bird enthusiast. (I found and ordered that picture in the upstairs bathroom .) We look forward to booking another stay in the spring with our family. It had everything you could possibly need, and more.I wish I could leave pictures in my review. Our dogs loved this place as much as we did. They've been sleeping since we returned home 2 days ago. If you are thinking about this place, think no longer. Just do it! You won’t regret it! relaxed.
