Good to know

No expense has been spared in creating the perfect space for our guests. Rusty's Retreat was built by the preeminent tiny house builder in the US, Escape Homes and features every upgrade available. This stylish, yet warm and cozy space offers all the amenities for a perfect getaway, including a well-stocked kitchen, complimentary coffee, on-demand hot water, a state of the art climate control system, 2 fold down desks and even a fancy TV that magically rises from the foot of the bed with a single touch of the remote. Flanked on 3 sides with large plate glass windows, you'll feel like you're camping under the stars minus the bugs, humidity, lumpy sleeping area and "digging a hole" when nature calls. :) The property has a mesh wifi system that connects to a dedicated fiber optic internet connection, so Rusty's is the perfect spot to watch Netflix or work remotely. You'll also enjoy a dedicated parking spot at the front of our main property and the house is less than 100' feet away.

Other Details to Note

Rusty' Retreat is nestled on the backside of our primary AirBnB property, as well as another luxury tiny home. This is primarily so that the house can enjoy high-speed internet and also be plumbed into the property's septic system (don't worry, you'll have a flushing water toilet just like at home). The property is generally very quiet during the week as the main house is usually only occupied on weekends. Bringing an unauthorized pet will result in an additional $150 cleaning fee (what our cleaning crew charges to us). In the warmer months, we require guests to the main house to adhere to a 10pm quiet hour requirement for their outdoor space.

My wife and I had a great weekend at Rusty’s Retreat! The massive windows let in plenty of natural light and let us enjoy the wooded views around us! The location is also perfect being near the community center with fun shops and Trager Brothers Coffee. There’s also a multitude of breweries and wineries within 10 minutes! Jeremy was proactive with messaging us and was super helpful. We will definitely be back!

This was my first Airbnb stay and it was great! Jeremy was helpful and always responded to my messages in a timely manner. His tiny home is beautiful and just what I needed to celebrate my birthday. It was bright, clean, and had everything I needed. It is definitely on my list to rebook if I want to get away again.

Awesome tiny home experience amongst towering trees, a yard to stroll, a fire pit to make fire. Great decoration, art in the yard. A coffee shop and an Argentina empanada place that is walkable to at the community center down the road. Breweries, wineries nearby! Very peaceful and rejuvenating! Host was responsive and very helpful! Will def book again!

Rusty’s retreat was tucked away in a beautiful little corner right off the Brew 151 trail. It was perfect for our weekend getaway to relax and slow down for the weekend. Definitely recommend!

This was a very comfortable and private spot at Rusty's Retreat. The home itself is very peaceful and serene. It's not too distant from many restaurants, breweries, and wineries. I would highly recommend staying here.

everything was great. Rusty's Retreat had everything that you may have needed, but forgot to bring. Our host was very responsive and helpful. We had a great time and will definitely think about getting back here again.

Rusty's Retreat proved the perfect place for a mother's day weekend away. For the most part all was quiet and I great enjoyed the small greenspace behind the tiny house for quality time of reflection.

Our weekend escape at Rusty's Retreat was amazing! Conveniently located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it was close to numerous breweries and wineries along the Brew Ridge Trail, and just a quick drive to the south entrance of Shenandoah National Park (Rockfish Gap entrance). The amenities surpassed our expectations, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and Jeremy proved to be a fantastic and attentive host. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
