House Rules
House Guidelines: 1. Maintain the space as you discovered it and show respect to the surroundings. Please refrain from engaging in discussions related to religion and politics. 2. Enjoy alcohol responsibly, but strictly avoid the use of illegal drugs. 3. Generator usage is permitted between 9 am and 7 pm. If you have special circumstances, feel free to inquire and exceptions may be considered. 4. We typically don't set specific arrival or departure times for our guests. Sharing estimated times of arrival is appreciated, especially if there are multiple guests on the same day. 5. While arriving during daylight is more convenient, it's not mandatory. A dusk-to-dawn light near the parking area ensures visibility in the evening hours.
Location
Road Access Information: Adjacent to our property is a spacious church parking lot that provides convenient access. Feel free to enter or exit through the parking lot, keeping in mind that it's unavailable during church functions (Sunday mornings/Wednesday evenings). The road is a dead end but features a generously sized turnaround. Look for the clearly marked address on the mailbox. Please note that accessing the property via the driveway may pose challenges for large vehicles due to a drainage ditch and mailbox. Consequently, parking options include the yard or the gravel driveway. Tow Vehicle Parking Guidelines: For tow vehicles, parking is permitted in either the gravel driveway or the yard. We kindly request that you refrain from parking in the church lot for the convenience of all.

Hello, I'm Joe, and together with my wife Taylor, our little one Owen, and our two furry companions, Higgins and Ellie, we form the H****y family. We're a small but adventurous bunch! Our love for travel and exploration led us to join the RV community about four years ago, and we also enjoy hosting boondockers. The thrill of discovering new places and meeting people along the way truly fuels our sense of adventure. Our home is nestled in McGaheysville, Virginia, just outside Harrisonburg. Taylor's deep roots in this area, surrounded by family, make it even more special. I originally hail from the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pa, and my journey led me to Virginia in 2005 when I joined the fire department. Some of our favorite boondocking spots are scattered within the George Washington National Forest near Fort Valley, VA, offering us the perfect blend of nature and tranquility. On the skills front, I bring my experience as a career Firefighter/EMT, always ready to assist if the need arises. Taylor contributes her expertise in the healthcare billing and insurance field. In essence, our family thrives on weekend adventures, cherishing the beauty of new places, meaningful connections, and the shared joy of exploration.

Thank you so much Joe for your hospitality! We were very late looking for a place for the night and we appreciate very much your generosity for receiving us with such a short notice! We found it quite noisy…But can’t complain!!! Best, Annick & Pierre

We had a good stay at the retreat. You are close to everything you need and Joe has plenty of information concerning groceries, hardware, etc. Joe is very accommodating and wanting to make the stay enjoyable. The traffic on Rt 33 is busy but nothing we haven’t dealt with a hundred times before. Would definitely request another stay.

This place was a life saver. As we were diving through the area the weather changed and I couldn’t drive any further. I contacted Route 33 Retreat within 5 minutes they got back to me and they allowed us to go there right away. Although it was near the Highway it was very quiet through the night.
