Come stay on a hilltop with a view that literally goes for miles, overlooking the western Shenandoah Valley to the ridges of the Allegheny Mountains! Relax in a hammock chair on your private deck, while watching the sunset and sipping coffee that we've provided from a local roaster. Our goal is to make your stay as carefree and comfortable as possible - a true escape! It feels rural, but you'll be just a few minutes from downtown or an easy drive to many hiking trails and vineyards.

We live on a cul-de-sac at the end of a quiet street in a family neighborhood. Our property is on top of a hill that overlooks farmland, backdropped by an expansive valley, with the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia in the distance. Despite the rural feel of the view from your guest suite and private deck, there is plenty of shopping and dining within a short drive. We're about 5 minutes from the very walkable, eclectic downtown area, where foodies will find lots of unique local restaurants and shoppers will enjoy a rich mix of locally owned stores and boutiques. A short drive farther will get you to the shopping district, where there are many more chain restaurants and big box stores. We're also a great central location for many hiking trails in Shenandoah National Park, George Washington National Forest, and other areas, as well as lots of vineyards and breweries.

We are within easy walking distance of Eastern Mennonite University campus, and a quick 5-minute drive to James Madison University campus. The closest public transportation (bus stop) is about a 5 minute walk. Being a college town, there are always Uber and Lyft drivers available. Harrisonburg is also a very bikeable city (if you don't mind some hills), with designated multi-use paths and bike lanes. Harrisonburg also has Uber, Lyft, and Bird scooters.

Meet The Host

Mike
Owner
Mike
I'm the Director of Business Affairs for Eastern Mennonite School, a small private school in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. My professional responsibilities include overseeing the business functions of the school, crisis management planning and drills, overseeing facilities and maintenance, and technology administration.

Technology has been my sole career path until 2010, when I moved into the business position. I graduated from college with a Computer Information Systems degree, and afterward spent 6 years working for a software development company as a traveling consultant, followed by 4 years for a group of family owned businesses managing technology, and finally beginning work in my current place of employment in 2008.

My personal life revolves around my family. I'm married and have two boys. We enjoy playing games together, working on projects ranging from crafts to DIY electronics. We're also involved in a variety of volunteer roles at our church.

House Rules
We hope you enjoy your stay at Summit Escape! To keep our neighborhood enjoyable for you, as well as our family, neighbors, and future Summit Escape guests, we ask for you to note and cooperate with these house rules:

Parking: Please only park in the designated space in our driveway (it is the closest to your guest suite entrance). If your group has more than one vehicle, please let us know at the time of your booking so we can arrange for additional parking.

Noise/Quiet hours: This is a quiet residential neighborhood, so please observe quiet hours from 10:00pm-7:00am. The guest suite is located in the upper level of our home. Though we have taken measures to reduce sound between the guest suite and our part of the house, it is not completely sound proof.

Smoking/vaping: This is a non-smoking property. Smoking and vaping are absolutely prohibited anywhere on our property and that of our neighbors! If smells of tobacco or vape are detected during your stay or after check-out, the cost of professional cleaning and fumigation will be reported to Airbnb and billed to the guest.

Kitchen use: Note that we have a kitchenette (not a full kitchen) that includes a minifridge, countertop 2-burner hotplate, microwave, and convection toaster oven. It is not equipped to prepare full meals, but is well suited for breakfast or simple lunches or dinners. Please do not put grease down the kitchen sink. A tin can is available under the sink into which grease should be poured prior to washing the cookware.

Safety/Security: This is a safe neighborhood, but please remember to lock the sliding glass door at night and when you leave the premises. If you have bikes, you may lock them outside under the stairs. We do have several outdoor security cameras on our property, including one that covers the parking area and a Ring doorbell at our back door which is on the way up the steps to the guest suite. (There are a few others that cover areas of the property that aren't typically used by guests, and we would be glad to answer any questions you may have about their locations).

Damages: If anything is damaged or broken during your stay, please let us know right away so we can replace or make necessary repairs. We understand that accidents happen, but costs of repairs or replacements that appear to be due to abuse or intentional misuse will be reported to Airbnb and billed to guests.

Checkout: Please ensure all dishes, cookware, and utensils are washed thoroughly and put away or left in the drying rack. Please hang up any used towels. If you move any furniture, please return it to its original location.

Let us know if you think of anything that would improve a future guest's stay!

Payment Policy
Payment may be made through:

- Venmo: @MichaelGStoltzfus
- CashApp: $mikefus
Refundable Damage Deposit
Damage deposit will be refunded in full within 48 hours of check-out, unless damage or missing items are discovered, in which case repair costs and/or replacement value of damage or missing items will be deducted from deposit. Smoking or vaping inside the guest suite will result in immediate loss of entire damage deposit, as will evidence of presence of an unauthorized pet.
