Everything was as described, we enjoyed our stay. There's a spot up the gravel road that might need AWD given the conditions of erosion. Our Subaru did fine with automated stability controls and AWD.
The property is well used, nicely decorated, but could use a bit more upkeep. New washer / dryer was helpful. Had enough to cook a meal. Bring ice. Hot tub is very peaceful.
King size bed, fenced yard for our dog, and good mid-week price are what made us choose this place for a short get away. It really suited our needs and we'll be back! Bed was comfortable. House was clean, nicely decorated, and felt welcoming. Could not get WiFi to work, but our cell phone reception was fine.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home tucked away in the mountains. We loved the small touches like the s’mores basket, indoor lights and AC on when we walked in, and the comfy bed. However, it would have been great to have lights on the pathway to the front of the home because it was dark when we arrived. We weren’t able to close the bathroom window which was a bit unsettling and when we entered the hot tub we found a bandaid floating around. Aside from those small inconveniences, your home was lovely.

A little too remote.
Water was brown and we decided not to shower. Bathroom had mold and loose molding showing mildew. No TV and minimal wi-fi.
Yard was lovely, but much smaller than it looks online.
Everything was fine for a short 3 day stay. Would have like the TV in the family room instead of the bedroom. Kitchen was fully stocked, which was super nice as I love to cook.
We stayed for one night while we were in Luray for the weekend. Overall, we found it comfy for our one night in Luray. Beautiful view of mountains, close to the water. We traveled with our two kids (5 and 2). It might be a little small to come back with the family - only because there is just one bedroom.
The perfect stay to disconnect from technology!! We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again if we come back.
House has all the basics you need. So nice having a fenced yard for dogs!
It is a decent drive to get the Shenandoah and other nearby activities. Distance isn’t far, but the roads are steep and curvy, so slow driving takes longer to get around.
We spent one night on a family road trip through Virginia and Tennessee. Location is great for Luray Caverns and a gorgeous drive. The site is so quiet, and the fenced yard was perfect for a night around the fire pit with our kids and dog. Checkin was easy and the bed was REALLY comfortable! Everything was clean enough, although the bathroom could use a deep clean. Great first night of vacation for our family.
Beautifully landscaped, equipped with everything we needed and a real plus to have a nice fenced in yard where we could hang out with our pups and chill.
The home was very comfortable and accommodating. The scenery was lovely and the home was well situated. We were maybe 20 minutes from the national park and the ride into and out of the park was so pretty. It was close to local shops as well. We stayed with our dog and toddler and everyone seemed to enjoy their stay.
The cabin is well taken care off, everything you can think of is provided. The WiFi was strong enough for streaming and other needs. The cabin is conveniently located within a short drive to both, Shenandoah National park and GWTJ National forest. Communication with the manager/owner was excellent. The road leading to the house was all uphill and extremely bumpy, but we didn’t have any issues getting in and out, but smth to keep in mind for a rainy day. Overall, very positive experience.
My husband and I loved this gem on our impromptu getaway from the city! The host responded very fast and the listing is just as pictured. Check-in and check-out is super easy! The night sky is unreal and beautiful! This place is about 40 min from wineries, about 20 min from Luray Caverns and about 25 min from the grocery store. There is a steep less than quarter mile dirt road to the property so bring a 4x4 or all wheel drive vehicle. The place was clean and VERY cozy! We would definitely love to stay here again! :)
We had a great Valentine’s Day get away for the night! What a beautiful location and wonderful home! Cozy and tucked away with for time to really check in with your loved ones:)
