About this property
Secluded Cottage on 10 Acres. Close to Shen. Natl. Park and Luray Caverns
Old Mine Cottage is outfitted with quite a few amenities that will make your stay very enjoyable! A 5 person hot tub is always a hit with younger and older guests alike, and for a perfectly relaxing experience, the outdoor fire pit is a great place to unwind after a day of sightseeing, golfing, or however you choose to spend your time in Luray! The kitchen is beautifully designed and comes complete with every appliance needed, including a dishwasher. There is a washer and dryer on site as well for those who wish to use them. Every few hours the train comes through, and the property is just the right distance from the tracks for it to be charming. There is a brand new TV in the living room, with a DirecTV package, and a DVD player. The inside of the cottage has a very rustic feel to it. Everything is completely new, but was carefully crafted to feel very comfortable and unique. The property sits at a convenient location to get to, with only a 10 minute drive to nearly everything you could need to do.

The location was great. Easy access to Shenandoah Park and to Luray. The cottage was very clean. Wonderful to sit on the front porch and watch sun set. The host was on top of anything that was need. Would definitely stay again.
Spent the long weekend at this wonderful place for my burthday. We absolutely loved it!! It was close to town and the hot tub was the best part!!! We will definitely go back for another stay.
We loved the property! It was the perfect weekend getaway for us. Nice and quiet and had all the amenities we could possibly want. Host was immensely gracious and fast to respond to any questions we had before arrival. We will definitely return!
We hiked and attended the fall festival in Luray
The home was so inviting and we hot tubbed every night. Very comfortable and had all the comforts of home.
I’d recommend this place for a small family too
We never used the upstairs 😏
The cottage was an ideal basecamp for exploring Luray and the Shenandoah Valley parks. Close enough to get to stores and restaurants but still feels away from anyone else. I can't recommend this house enough - will be looking for an opportunity to return.
The host was very responsive and helpful. The place was a cute rustic feel. We really enjoyed our stay it was a nice quiet get away where we could relax and spend time together.
Very cute property and home. Our stay was comfortable and hosts were responsive. There are train tracks nearby, but we didn't get woken up in the night by passing trains. Bathroom was very clean and there were plenty of towels for bath/shower/hot tub.
This property was everything that they stated it was on the verbal app. If you're looking for a secluded place to stay this is definitely the place to go"

Its very private with lots of lawn to do whatever, The fire pit was nice, The hot tub is Awesome with the view of the mountain, The interior is very clean and welcoming, The furniture isn't very comfortable but i kinda like that, It fit the old style feel, Id definitely stay again. My Dog enjoyed sniffing all the new sniffies on the property.
Went to stay for Thanksgiving with my wife and two kids (5&3). Large lot to play on, great fire pit with supplied wood, very clean hot tub for the adults. 10 minutes from the Caverns and downtown.
Can't wait to go again.
We had a great long weekend at the property. Between the views, hot tub and fire pit, we left with our hearts full and souls renewed. The fur baby loved all the new smells and land to run, play and roll. Cant wait to come back and test out the claw foot tub.
Loved the location…privacy, spacious.
Charmingly decorated with all needs met.
Hosts is readily available and accommodating.
Close to so many “treasures”… Luray Caverns for all you physical science thrill seekers, Skyline Drive for all you scenic hikers, plenty of charming shops, breweries/wineries, with the small town charm of Mayberry.
Fabulous family setting.
Highly recommend!
The property, including house amenities, and yard were perfect! Lots of space! We particularly enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit after a long day if exploring. We loved this place so much that I have already rebooked for December! Thank you and well done!
A beautifully renovated home with country charm in an amazing setting. The Blue Ridge Mountains in full view from the covered front porch, the sun setting over the mountains, the train rattling down the tracks and the fireflies over the fields made for the perfect stay in Luray. The beds are very comfortable, the bedrooms are tastefully decorated, the bathroom is renovated and the kitchen is well-furnished. Darling farm house! Look forward to staying here again.
We hiked every day at Shenandoah National Park and returned exhausted to recover on the front porch of the cottage. This place was very welcoming and comfortable with plenty of space for our dachshund to run. We had everything we needed to relax and gear up for the next day. Most importantly, the host was very responsive to our questions. I would recommend this rental for solitude and peace.
Overall the house was acceptable. It was clean and had the amenities as listed on the site. There was water leaking from the ceiling of the family room the entire stay. The water pressure in the bathroom made it difficult to even wash your hands at the sink or take a shower. The house worked for us, since we spent most of our time hiking, but the issues we had would prevent us from booking again or recommending this house to others.
I had the most blissful, relaxing stay. The house is charming, comfortable, and well taken care of. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. My pups loved the wide open yard and we all enjoyed the front porch. It would have been perfect if the front porch had rockers or a porch swing, but it was great anyway. We used the firepit and hot tub each night. It was a short drive to Luray, but the quietness that we experienced at this home was amazing. There were many moments when the only sound was the wild turkey gobbles or the whippoorwill singing. The nearby train crossing added to the experience and I loved it all. I am an airplane geek, and this home was on the pathway to Dulles or Reagan International. I spent hours each night watching the planes turn on their landing lights as they cleared the mountain range. I know, I'm a nerd, but it was wonderful. I hope to make this a yearly spring getaway.
This is a property when you leave you wish it was yours! Exceeded our expectations and was everything we thought it would be and more. As others have noted, interior is much better in person than some of the photos may lead you to believe. As described, everything is new, clean, and very functional. Hats off to Gerald for restoring this older farm cottage to preserve historical character and also achieve modern function and comfort. It is not grand, but perfectly done in character and scale. Its quaint, comfortable, and cozy. Perfect size and vibe for our family of 5. Though we did watch TV for a bit, the property somehow pulled us (including our 3 kids) all towards more enriching ways to pass time - reading, napping, kids playing in yard, relaxing in jacuzzi...unrushed and left feeling renewed. The nearby railroad is the cherry on top....adds perfect touch of charm and sense of place. My only feedback would would be that the living room could be more comfortable and ample. Very nice and clean couch and chair, but not very comfortable nor ample enough for more than 3-4 people. Again, I was more drawn to read on the front porch or take a walk to the train than I was to watch TV, but comforting and inviting common areas are important in vacation homes. By no means a deal killer. We'll be back!
