    "All the amenities. I should've stayed here after eating dinner instead of pushing on to Manassas. The porch is in direct sunlight, unlike David Lesser to the north which is more shaded."

    "A wonderful shelter, with a refreshing (cold) shower less than 100 yards away. Good cooking pavilion just a few steps away. This was the nicest shelter my hiking buddy and I encountered on our 120-mile section hike through northern Va., WV and Maryland."

    "Beautiful gem of a shelter - but don't count on warm water in "solar" shower. Great water source though. Deck has very comfy bench. Good layout for multiple overnighters. Great cooking shelter."

    "This is a great shelter with lots of room. And you can't beat the front deck."

    "Sun shower around back. Shelter has a porch with built in chairs and benches. Seperate shelter for cooking with a fire pit and table.
