Make "The Pistachio Nut" Your Fall Getaway!!!

We enjoyed our stay here for JMU Parent's Weekend and look forward to returning! The owners have put great effort into creating a space where you immediately feel welcome and comfortable. The house was very clean and had more than everything we needed.

This cottage is perfect for a fall weekend away! We sat outside on the deck, cooked dinner in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed competing on the arcade games in the game room. The host has given a great deal of thought to the many details in this home to make sure you have everything you need for an enjoyable stay. We will definitely be returning!

Excellent place! Highly recommend! We came for a JMU football game. There were 6 of us and there was plenty of room. Host was very responsive--even met me at check in to go over everything and make sure all my questions were answered. Would stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at the Pistachio Nut House! Very clean and comfortable for our family, with everything we could need available, Mike was a great host and very responsive. My husband said “this is the kind of place that makes me regret giving other places 5 stars”.

The property was exactly as described. Nice furnishings, clean, good location, and very well maintained. The host was easy to work with as well. We enjoyed our stay and would book here again.

This home was beyond perfect for our family. Three bedrooms all perfect sized for teens and two with extra beds. Mike met us at the house to show us around when we arrived, from that conversation and all the extras it is obvious that he loves and cares for this house. No corner was cut, from the board games throughout the house, brochures about all the local sites, name brand cookware and appliances to the arcade basement to all the small touches like a well stocked kitchen, bathroom and laundry room. If we ever come back this way we will definitely stay again. I almost forgot to mention the pools, gym was amazing and there were so many things to do at the resort, no one was bored.

This VRBO “Stay” was absolutely wonderful! The host’s communications were timely and helpful fron start to finish of our booking. We’re already thinking about next year and hopefully coming back.

Michael went above and beyond to make sure we were welcome in his home. The house was super clean, well stocked, and the beds were super comfortable. The kids loved the Rec room and they also thought it was the best house we have stayed in as a family so far in our travels. Thank you for thinking of everything to make our stay great. Take care!!

Mike is simply the best host we've ever had — and this is far from our first stay! From the moment we check in to the moment we reluctantly head home; Mike goes above and beyond to make our family feel truly welcome. His hospitality is warm, genuine, and effortless — the kind that makes you feel less like a guest and more like family. The home itself has that perfect "home away from home" comfort that keeps us coming back year after year. If you're looking for a VRBO experience that feels personal, thoughtful, and truly special, look no further. We can't recommend Mike and his property highly enough!The Gathers Family
