[quote=Anonymous]I have a log cabin in Shenandoah and we love it! Due to kids activities, we also rent it out on the weekends, as we can't get down there as much as we would like.  It is also our back-up plan if the shit hits the fan, as our mortgage is only $600/mo and the home is very comfortable.  It is not super secluded, but secluded enough that we have mountain and forest views (without views of neighbors).

I do not SAH, but often WFH on Fridays (meaning working from the cabin) I bring everything we need for the weekend, get dinner cooking and DH and the kids join me after they get out of school. Believe it or not, we sometimes come home Monday morning and take the kids directly to school and us directly to work.

It is a great way to bond with family and friends. More weekends than not, we bring other families with us, the kids raise hell downstairs while the adults hang upstairs and drink way too much wine.

WE are never lacking for something to do...there is a ski area a mile away, tons of wineries, and the Shenandoah is full of festivals and things to do...and don't get me started not the opportunities for hiking and biking...too much to mention.  We really enjoy the local musical talent found in the Shenandoah, I never thought in a million years I would be so in love with bluegrass and folk music.  I would not do well if we were very secluded, that is too remote for me.

As far as being "swindled" this is one of the silliest things I have read on here. It is quite the opposite.  We built our house from scratch using local craftsmen and I fee swindled every time I get work done in NoVA, the prices to get work down down there are  half. For instance, we had a huge deck put on on our cabin, cost $8500.  Here in NoVA, we want a same sized deck and our quotes have STARTED at 15K. I'm trying to convince my Shanendoah guys to come up here and stay in my home for a weekend and build me a deck.  I find the people down in Shenandoah much more honest and fair and quite frankly nicer people.[/quote]
