The Chalet has one private master bedroom and a sleeping loft with a queen bed as the second bedroom. The listing says three bedrooms because of a glitch in AIRBNB listing. I am working to correct this. The sleeping loft is accessible by going up a flight of stairs from the main level. The loft is open and allows for the gorgeous views to be seen from the bed. Please inquire if you need further descriptions of sleeping areas.
The basement boasts a TV/movie room with a fireplace and wall of windows that also show the spectacular views and twinkling lights of the valley.

1 year on Airbnb Rating, 5 stars,·1 week ago,·Stayed a few nights. Nancy's Moonstruck Chalet was warm, cozy, and just right for our weekend getaway to the mountainside. Clear instructions, responsive host, accurate listing. We may even come back another time!
Arlington, Virginia. Airbnb Rating, 5 stars,·2 weeks ago,· Stayed a few nights. Nancy’s home was a great get away from DC. A spectacular view from the deck - the sunsets were amazing. The decor was lovely - lots of places to relax and enjoy nature. About 25 minutes from Front Royal and other attractions such as Sky Meadow State Park so a lot of options for things to do and places to eat if desired. It is recommended to arrive before dark as the road up the mountain and the gravel drive to the house are not lit so could be difficult to find in the dark. Overall a great stay in a beautiful place!
