“Kate & Matt,

Thank you for setting us up for a much needed relaxed weekend. Taking a quick trip outside DC for some beauty and unplugged lifestyle was the perfect way to take a break from our hectic spring. Maggie & Frankie, our vizlas also had a blast!”

“Kevin and I wanted to personally thank you and Matt SO much for an unforgettable weekend. 

Thank you so much for providing us with the grill. It came in very clutch for breakfast Saturday morning and the eggs you provided from your farm were absolutely delightful. The marshmallows were such a sweet touch to our campfire night. The pet treats were so sweet as well. The dogs loved the toys. We had such a great weekend getaway to disconnect and I know our dogs had a fantastic time running around your property. We truly appreciate your hospitality so much. The lights provided were so helpful at night and the tent was so cozy. 

Thank you so much again for giving us a great weekend getaway before we get married next month!”

“This quick getaway Thanksgiving weekend and before the stress of the holidays was everything! This is the cutest, most cost efficient, and relaxing glamping experience in this area. Despite the freezing temperatures, I managed to find peace and a warmth here, especially from Kate’s kindness and exceptional willingness to go above and beyond. I’ll have to check out the platform in the warmer months.”

We loved being in this private & romantic oasis that you provided! Everything from the delicious food to the beautiful set up in the tent to the amazing grounds was just what we needed! Once again, thank you so much - this was the best way to relax after our wedding!”

With love,

“I cannot thank you enough for this weekend! It was the rest and relaxation we needed.  Our pup, Margo, was in heaven! Pretty sure she thought we had moved there and was ready to call it home forever. And the food…. I don’t think that I have the words for how delicious the apples and pears were. My husband said that the apple may have been the best apple he has ever had and the green beans and cauliflower!! So so good! Sadly no treasures were found metal detecting but fun was had by all!

Thank you for sharing this incredibly special place with others. Definitely a memorable weekend for us.”

The local food, the swimming hole, the stars, everything was amazing! We go glamping quite often and this was by far one of the best!

Thank you!”

The birthday dessert!) only added to how perfect everything was. The tent is so cool! A comfortable bed, all the fixings, the games, etc - you’ve thought of it all! Kato loved the dog treats you left for him and we loved the whole experience. Thank you for opening this up to visitors! We hope to return again!”

"Unforgettable experience! We loved every minute of our stay and the property is absolutely beautiful! Already recommending to all my friends. The whole area is so picturesque, I swear we took over 800 photos that I now have to go through when we get home. Waking up to the sunrise and cooking over the fire was a great experience, too! Bed was super comfy + very warm with the cold nights. We loved our stay and the pups did too! Thank you for being so accommodating. We will be back one day! Much love!"

“Bally Brook is located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley and is the epitome of luxury glamping experience. The tent is equipped with a comfortable queen-sized mattress, a cozy sitting nook, a mini fridge and cooking gear, as well as games, books, and more! The property overlooks the mountains and is very private. Breakfast is complimentary and includes goodies from the valley. Add on the Ruff Glamping package if you’re bringing your pup- they’ll be spoiled with treats, toys and a comfy bed!”

“it was (the experience) incredible. My girlfriend and I decided last minute to put ourselves on the queue/waitlist for this “glamping” experience. Luckily, we were fortunate to get a call about someone else’s cancelation and decided to celebrate our 2 year a little early this year. By no means are either of us campers, if you asked us last year to go camping we would’ve said no, and if you told us that we would eventually camp, we still wouldn’t have believed you. We wanted to thank the hosts for making this possible and feeling safe, especially for this being our first time. Would definitely do it again!”

Sincerely,
