A memorable family weekend

It is impossible to capture the beauty of Stone Ridge Manor in a series of pictures, or descriptions on a website; nonetheless, I will attempt to describe this beautiful home, the surroundings, and our wonderful weekend.
We had family travel from New York, Maryland and Southern Virginia to gather at Stone Ridge Manor to celebrate our son's graduation from James Madison University. After many attempts to find accommodations for a large group closer to the campus, I gave up, and fortunately, I looked a little further, and found this spacious, comfortable home. We had plenty of space for seven adults, and two children to sleep comfortably, rest and relax, and on Friday, and Saturday night we were joined by our son, and some of his friends for graduation celebrations.
A beautiful sunrise greeted us on Saturday morning, which set the stage for graduation day. Initially, we had dinner reservations in Harrisonburg, but we collectively agreed we wanted to return to Stone Ridge Manor for the evening, so we cancelled our reservation and returned to our "home away from home." The spacious accommodations allowed everyone the opportunity to rest comfortably (after our very early wake up call) until the graduate and his girlfriend joined us later that day for dinner, and continued celebration of his accomplishments.
Sunday morning ~ Mother's Day ~ Three generations gathered in this beautiful home! What a perfect way to end an amazing weekend. The men navigated the well-stocked kitchen to make us a wonderful breakfast, which was shared by four moms (2 grandmoms) before we headed our separate ways.
We would wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone interested in vacationing in a luxurious home, surrounded by the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. In fact, we collectively decided that if our second child attends JMU, we hope to stay in Stone Ridge Manor during our visits to the campus.
Kelli, thank you for making our stay in your beautiful home effortless, and thoroughly enjoyable. The prompt and attentive contacts from you showed us that you were interested in helping us have an enjoyable stay at Stone Ridge Manor.
