AJ and Jen’s place is peaceful, beautiful, near the Blue Ridge Parkway, and luxurious and simple. If you are traveling the Parkway, this is the perfect spot to stop, Far from the Madding Crowd. We were two seniors, with son bicycling Front Royal to Cherokee, and 9-year old granddaughter. We were all very happy here. Alfie , the Boston Terrier, charmed our Cayleigh. And our lovely host family charmed me.
