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.

About Gerald Dovel
We have lived in Luray, VA our entire lives, and have always loved it here. 20 years ago after our home was paid for I bought our first monthly rental property on High Street in downtown Luray. It was a big investment, and lots of long nights after work were spent there to bring it into the condition I wanted, but it turned out great. A lot has changed since then, and 1 monthly rental property has turned into 32. Two years ago we decided to expand our horizons and move into more than just monthly rentals, which ultimately led to Old Mine Cottage. It took a two year process to get to today, but the result is a gorgeous property that is ready to be utilized. As we continue to grow in the business world we invite you to come and stay with us. Let us know how we did. We think you will be impressed.
Gerald Dovel purchased this Cottage in 2012

Location is great for hiking in the park
We enjoyed our stay at this house. We were there for a few days of hiking in Shenandoah - it's about a 15 min drive from the house to the park entrance. The house is very secluded which was what we wanted - nice yard to run around in with the kids and the dog. Hot tub was an added bonus. One thing to mention - bring earplugs as the train is pretty close and it blows it's whistle each time it goes by which is about 4 times/day including the middle of the night.
Great place!!
We loved the location, the decor, the privacy.
Very nice place and we will likely come back!!
The only suggestion for improvement would be to change the living room furniture-- not comfortable at all. Luckily the weather was beautiful and we spent alot of time outside. Hot tub was perfect! We grilled each night and enjoyed firepit. Perfect location!
Country living at its best
A renovated farm house which is suitable up to five. But was a great stop for my wife and I on our way back from the Grand Canyon. We enjoyed Luray Caverns, Front Royal, Cooter's and Daisy's Diner. There are plenty of choices to hike either on trails or in the parks in Luray. The pasture beside the farmhouse was perfect to allow our dog to exercise. Do yourself a favor and stay here when in Luray the owners were very accommodating to our needs.
Very nice, relaxing, quiet environment.
The cottage was great. It had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub. Gerald was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.
Great Cabin!
I thought that this was a beautiful piece of land with everything that we needed for a nice weekend getaway! The hot tub and fire pit were our favorite parts! Thank you to Gerald for a great stay and checking to make sure our stay was perfect!
Peaceful Countrysie
We enjoyed the peaceful countryside and the wildlife that visited the yard. Great access to town and Skyline Drive.
Map
Old Mine Cottage is less than three miles from the main highway, (US-211) yet it is a world away from the norm. If you want a quiet setting with beautiful views, Old Mine Cottage will more than meet your needs. We are located close to the downtown area of Luray, with its' quaint shopping, restaurants, and the iconic 'Pink' movie theater. We are within 10 miles of a wide variety of activities, such as Yogi Bear's Jellystone park, which provides mini-golf, an arcade for kids, and a water slide. The Caverns Country club is a very short drive up US-211 and provides a beautiful and competitive challenge for golfers of all skill levels. The Luray Caverns are a 5 mile drive away and are a world famous, must see attraction. If you like to bike you will find miles of paved country roads with very little traffic. If you like to hike there are miles of trails close by. If doing nothing sounds good you will be more than happy at the cottage as well! You can relax on the decks, enjoy the hot tub, the fire pit, the ten acres of property or the cottage itself. We bought the property in 2012 and have carefully returned it to the time period of its construction. It has been a labor of love and we believe that you will love it too. We welcome you to come and experience it.
