Mount Jackson, VA (Shenandoah County)

This 1830 lovingly resorted gem rests on 6.46 rural acres in the Shenandoah Valley, with views of the Massanutten Mountains. The Widow Kip’s is a serene and friendly home offering nostalgia and hospitality in five antique-filled bedrooms of the main house, all with original fireplaces and private baths. Locally crafted quilts grace the four-poster, sleight and hand-carved Victorian beds. Children and pets are welcome in the two restored cottages that create a charming Williamsburg-style courtyard by the house. The Dining room is a friendly family-style gathering area and the Common Room welcomes you with backgammon or checkers and old movies on the VCR. There is a built is swimming pool on the property and bikes are provided for a ride through apple orchards. The Widow Kip’s is a perfect jumping-off place for all the Shenandoah has to offer: caverns, hiking, canoeing, antiquing, battlefields, golf, skiing, horseback riding and fishing on the property—as well as fine restaurants in the area.
