Location: Luray, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, USA (10 Mins to Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park) View Map
Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Keywords: Modern Log Cabin
Kalmia is the newest log cabin in Shenandoah Woods, our private 100 acre valley in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park. Kalmia is the scientific name for Mountain Laurel, the evergreen shrub that graces our mountainside. We located Kalmia to take advantage of the incredible views. Kalmia sits 300 feet above the Shenandoah Valley on a private mountain which is a foothill of the Blueridge Mountains. Standing on the front porch the view to your left is Big Meadows on top of Shenandoah National Park. Directly before you just across the Shenandoah Valley is a spectacular westerly view of the Massanutten Mountains. Sunsets here are an event.
The master bedroom has a king bed and a private bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed. There is a loft with a futon that makes a double sized bed. The sofa also converts to a queen sized bed. The living room has an open cathedral ceiling with exposed heavy timber beams and a dormer to let in plenty of natural light. There is a gas log fireplace with a floor to ceiling stone chimney. Just above the fireplace is a 52" LCD HDTV with DirecTV HD package, Blu-Ray Player, unlimited Netflix streaming, YouTube, and Pandora Radio. Kalmia Cabin provides free wireless broadband service. There is a full kitchen with new GE appliances. Pots, pans and dinerware are included. We think the front porch is the best feature of Kalmia, it's screened in, has a hot tub, table and chairs and a stunning view of the Shenandoah Valley. There is a ramp to access the cabin and all rooms except the loft are on the same level.
We live close by and are available if you have any needs or if you would like some information and suggestions about area attractions. We will also make every effort to accomodate unique requirements. Need a pack-n-play or a high chair? We can usually provide.

Absolutely Perfect!

I can't say enough nice things about Kalmia. It was the perfect, cozy, secluded cabin I had dreamed of! Its location was remote, yet close enough to so many great attractions that it still felt convenient. The view of the sunset over the valley and mountains was incomparable -- we particularly enjoyed it from the relaxing comfort of the hot tub! And having a cup of coffee out in the rocking chair on the deck in the mornings (or a glass of wine in the evenings!) was beyond relaxing. The owners of this lovely property have thought of everything! The gas fireplace and the widescreen satellite TV made the inside just as inviting as the outside. All the appliances and conveniences we could have hoped for were there. The huge binder filled with directions, restaurant listings, pamphlets on local attractions, and much more was greatly appreciated and frequently referenced! Finally, the cabin was immaculate! We walked in (love the fresh cedar smell!) and could immediately see that the place was kept in pristine condition. We are clean freaks and we never felt the need to scrub everything down, as we have in past rentals! We have rented many vacation homes, and Kalmia ranks right up at the top! We hope to return again and again.

My wife and I just spent a relaxing 3 day weekend at this cabin and we had a great time. The cabin was very comfortable and had all the comforts of home. The only thing I would make you aware of is this cabin has a very steep driveway that is curvy at some parts. If it snows a little, you will be snowed in because it would be unsafe to drive up and down. The cabin was clean and well cared for. We had a minor issue with the fireplace which Jason helped us resolve within 15 minutes. We were very pleased with this cabin and the customer service from beginning to end. NOTHING to complain about. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Owner response:Thanks for the kind words! Just to let everyone else know, the driveway is paved and we do have lots of snow removal equipment. When it does snow we can usually clear the roads quickly. The price of a great mountain view is a steep driveway.

Amazing cabin -- couldn't recommend more highly

My girlfriend and I stayed at Kalmia over Memorial Day weekend and we couldn't have been happier. The cabin is amazing -- it's absolutely immaculate and the pictures don't do it justice. We also were fortunate enough to meet Jason, who was kind enough to set us up with a password to his Netflix account, which streams directly to the 52" tv in the living room. Perfect for a night curled up on the couch. The area is beautiful, the cabin is close to Luray as well as Shenandoah, and it's as comfortable as a place could possibly be. We can't wait to go back, and if you're looking for a fantastic cabin in a perfect location, Kalmia is it.

We spent a week in your Kalmia cabin, and we had a great time. The cabin is new, and it was immaculately clean. It is simply and attractively decorated, with quality furmiture and great beds. (So many owners stuff every square inch of their rentals with artificial plants and collectable clutter. I really enjoyed the clean, restrained style of the Kalmia interior). Dealing with Jason Cave was a pleasure. He is friendly and helpful, and the reservation process was expertly handled. Everything about our rental experience was positive, and we would recommend this rental to our friends without hesitation. Thanks, Jason.

Our trip to the Luray area was relaxing and peaceful, in large part due to our experience at Kalmia Cabin. It was nice just hanging out and enjoying the view and nice weather, as well as the hot tub! Looking forward to a return trip.

We spent a lovely weekend in Kalmia Cabin. The cabin has a simple, homey feel and is well-stocked with kitchen equipment, books and games, and an entertainment center with Blue-Ray, Netflix, Pandora, etc. The patio has a superb vista which we enjoyed from our hot tub, and our two-year-old daughter loved running around on the patio and outside (though watch the steep driveway). Very quiet and relaxing, and a short trip to Luray. Next visit we hope to take advantage of the close proximity to hiking trails.
