"Hi Jason thank you for sharing your lovely vacation home with us. It was really great pleasure to stay in the house. It is much more than
I expected from a vacation rental. The booking process was really simple and easy to follow and all the instructions on the travel itinerary. We stayed in your house for four nights and I was very much surprised to see everything you have in your home for all ages. The pricing is affordable and I was amazed to see collection of books you have in your basement library. It contains wide range of subjects from computer networking to philosophy of life. A great book I have come across based on principles of Bible is "purpose driven" If you can do something about flies roaming around out side it will be great, but it is a natural environment. Weekend Oasis is a very cozy and comfortable home where I find an opportunity to speak with my true self in serene and silent environment of blue mountains. I will greatly recommend to my friends and families to stay at blue mountain oasis."

"Such a restful and private get-away in the mountains of VA! The location was great as were the facilities and features in the house. Jason and "the crew" worked with us in a personal way - unusual in this day and age! Thanks so much. "

" Great week at the WeekendOasis, clean, comfortable, well maintained. It was close to many of the best sights of the Shenandoah Valley, but also close enough for a trip to see the sights in downtown Washington D.C. Jason Miller was very accommodating and helpful, as well. I highly recommend the "Oasis" if you are planning a trip to Northern Virginia. "

Sarah Baugher, Abingdon, MD
"We had a very nice stay at the Weekend Oasis with our dog and baby. Jason was very easy to reach when we had a slight problem and was willing and able to fix it for us despite having guests at his house! "

"Blue Mountain Oasis was a great trip for my wife and I to get away and have a fun and relaxing time together. The hot tub was a great feature for the property and we took advantage during the cold front!"

" My second stay at Blue Oasis was better than the first. Jason has gone out of his way to make sure there is everything you might need in the house. Hopefully I will be able to make a third trip to this lovely "get away from it all" place the woods. "

Tracy Bandy, San Marcos, TX
"Weekend Oasis has something for everyone. Star gazing in the hot tub was my favorite! I would love to come and spend a week so that I could begin to enjoy all that Jason has included in his home. Football games on the great TV's, a million great books to read, the view from the mountain is breathtaking, close proximity to wineries, Skyline Drive.....too many things to enjoy and not nearly enough time. I also love the fact that Jason is obviously a dog lover! I left my dog in Texas but she would have loved it there! Also, the booking process was the best VRBO booking I have encountered! Thank you for sharing your home Jason."

"We had a relaxing three days at Blue Mountain Oasis. This was our second visit The house provides many amenities to ensure the comfort of your guests. We enjoyed bird watching from the deck and even added a species to our life lists. The high point of our stay was swimming in Deer Lake after walking on the Appalachian Trail. What a sweet, spring-fed gem! : ) Thank you"

" Our second day three of us dropped by Fox Meadow Winery and did the 'deluxe tasting. We enjoyed it and all liked the same wine. So Sunday morning we came back for "brunch" consisting of a bottle of Reisling and assorted cheese and crackers. We enjoyed their outside deck which overlooked beautiful scenery and would go back again. The house offered something for each of us - a hot tub, books, a large yard for the three year old, a great tv to watch movies on, and just a relaxing environment. My daughter and I are already thinking of just the two of us coming back for a long weekend. "

" I was pleased with the booking process and the rates were fair and reasonable. The house was very clean and secluded. Lots of song birds and woodpeckers. Gorgeous stand of timber on the mountain. The view from the lodge was fabulous. "

Brian Elinich, Verona, PA
" On my second day there I was already planning my next stay. I was quite pleased with Blue Mountain Oasis when I came in the door. I was even more pleased when I opened a door and found the steps downstairs, walked outside and saw the decks and backyard, saw the coffee basket, etc., etc., etc. The pictures don't adequately show the house. Great location. Very central to so many things. Really appreciate the amount of detail that Jason put together so I had a comfortable feeling about what I could expect when I got there. Also appreciate the fair price and being so accomodating for my two dogs. "

"I just want to thank you very much for allowing
us to stay in your home. The pictures of the home did not do
it justice. When all others were changing prices for the inauguration,
you stayed consistent and provided us with a beautiful home
to stay in at very fair price. We are already trying to make
plans to stay with you again. My family also wants me to thank
you for everything! Please keep us updated with any deals you
may have and don't forget about us, we want to stay again !"

"Blue Mountain Oasis is a cozy place to spend
some time away that's far enough to feel like you've gone somewhere
but not so far that you dread coming home. We expected to have
a quiet weekend in a cozy cabin and we sure got it! We had a
fantastic time and it was just what we were looking for. Also,
the booking process was excellent. Quick, responsive and all
electronic - the way it should be :)"

"We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. Your
place is great and we defintely plan to visit again. I wanted
to say how much I appreciate you allowing dogs .. they are my
"Kids" and it means a lot to travel with them. They
had a great time hiking on the mountain and enjoyed watching
squirrels off the porch. Thanks again, we had a wonderful time!"

"Our weekend stay on Blue Mountain this past Memorial Day
weekend (we were attending a wedding at blue mountain lodge...awesome
facility) was just a wonderful time. The house was in the perfect
location on the mountain located near the lodge and one of the
nicest and larger rental properties on the mountain. The hot
tub was an extra bonus and very much enjoyed. We will definitely
be booking with blue mountain oasis when we come back to the
Virginia mountains."

"On a scale of 1-10 I would give Blue Mountain
Oasis a 9. We love the house. My kids have a lot of fun and
I get some over due relaxing time. The price was great and all
of my expectatons were met. We used the info brochures you left
in the house to navigate our way aournd and plan our activities.
We were able to visit Dinosaur Land, Luray Zoo, Skyline Caverns,
and some local shops. We also went rafting. I can't wait til
next year! I have great things planed. I will be in touch in
the spring to book for next year. Thanks for everthing. See
you next year for the third year in a row."

other directions were extremely helpful. I don't know if you
ever have a last minute openings (from cancellations or such)
but if you do, Rob and I have a fairly open schedule and might
be interested in returning on short notice The house is lovely
with all the comforts of home and extras that made our stay
a delightful getaway.."

Paula Kostick, Mechanicsburg, PA
"Our expectations were completely met during our
stay at your rental property. I would rate the property a 10.
There is really nothing that I can see for improvement taking
into consideration the price and the size of the house and property
- which were both perfect for us. I was impressed with your
professionalism from the start of the booking process - the
rental agreement and the itinerary were both very well written
and easy to understand. The one suggestion I could make is to
have a journal or log for guests to sign in and write where
they are from and comments about their stay. Most rentals I
have stayed in have had one of those books."

Lori Brinck, Virginia Beach, VA
"The house was easily found and in a great location.
We enjoyed two of the wineries that were closest to the house,
the Linden and the Fox Meadows. Town was easy to find and had
everything we needed with the exception of a sports bar to watch
the VA Tech game. We ended up going to Griffin Tavern in Flint
Hill to watch the game. It was a bit of a drive, but very much
worth it. The food was great as well as the beer selection and
atmosphere. We will definately come back to this location in
the future."

"Hi Jason, We got back from our vacation a little
while ago, and it was amazing. We were able to have the pleasure
of staying in two of your houses, and they were both wonderful.
Bryce Condo was very cozy and comfortable, being close to many
attractions. We found our stay very interesting. There were
numerous activities in the area, so we were never bored. It
was also very quiet, which was a new and strange experience
for us, being from New York City. Blue Mountain Oasis was beautiful.
It gave us just the right amount of privacy. It was extremely
relaxing. We loved that the house had everything in it to keep
us entertained. The property was beautiful and spacious. We
especially enjoyed the hot tub.Thank you so much for the wonderful
stay! From New York,The Feyder Family"

" Thank you for letting us use your beautiful
home this weekend. We had a great time! We visited both Linden
and Fox Meadow Vineyards. Touring wineries is something my mother
has always wanted to do and I know she loved it. We also went
tubing and hiking... and took a gorgeous drive on Skyline Drive.
Thank you again so much. My mother says it's one of the best
birthday presents she ever got! My husband is also a biker,
and admired some of your biking things. Again, thank you! "

do much except relax and enjoy the peacefulness. I just hope
my dog didn't disturb your neighbors too much. He is quite a
loud shrill barker. I enjoyed my stay and what a beautiful location"

"Our stay was lovely and we give it 10 stars!
Everything was perfect with the house but we really wanted to
see some snow. Blue Mountain Oasis was truly our home away from
home.
