My two sisters from New Zealand and two brothers from India joined me for spending three days at this exceptionally located and constructed property. As shown in the picture, the large deck is right on the water, a rare find. Bala went the extra mile to make sure our experience would be memorable. Everything inside the house was perfect, including a large monitor and HDMI connections for anyone wanting to work remotely. The Starlink satellite internet connection was superfast for anyone needing smooth Zoom or Team meetings. For those wanting to relax and enjoy the serenity surrounding the Shenandoah river and wooded surroundings, I couldn't think of a better place than this. The bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms and living areas were furnished in style with modern fittings. The host exceeded our expectations in every respect. Five stars all the way! Thank you Bala and Jusine.
