About this property

Shenandoah Solitude in the Blue Ridge mountains

Welcome to the enchanting Shenandoah Solitude, a picturesque retreat nestled amidst the majestic peaks and lush forests of the Blue Ridge mountain range.



This cozy and spacious cabin is the perfect destination for your group to experience a rejuvenating escape, where adventure and relaxation harmoniously blend together. While large enough for a group of 8, Shenandoah Solitude is cozy enough to make smaller groups feel warm and comfortable.



The cabin offers 3 private bedrooms, 2 full baths, modern amenities, a paved driveway, a hot tub, and much, much more!



2 king beds, 1 queen bed, and a full-sized sleeper sofa will comfortably sleep 6, and we have additional bedding for a max of 8. The kitchen offers modern fixtures and ample space with an oven, refrigerator, and microwave.



If you'd rather cook outside, we've got you covered with both gas and charcoal grills. While you're out there, you can play a game of horseshoes in the professional horseshoe pit or challenge each other to a game of cornhole (available in the summer months)!



At night, sit with your friends or loved ones in the hot tub while looking out at the lights of the valley or stars above. On rainy days, there is still plenty to do inside. Watch Smart TVs with satellite channels, play board games, read books from the cabin's book library, challenge your friends to a game of foosball, or hang out around the fireplace. There is a landline phone with free local and long-distance calls. A new high-speed Wi-Fi has just been installed. Feel free to stream music or watch movies during your stay!



Enjoy stunning mountain views and sunrises from the covered decks. Soak in the indoor jacuzzi or the large outdoor hot tub! Make a huge campfire and tell stories with your friends late into the evening hours!



PLEASE NOTE: During winter months, a four-wheel drive (4WD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle is required.



Pets are welcome! 2 dogs maximum. There is a weight limit of 50 lbs or less per dog. No cats allowed, sorry!



A separate security deposit is required for this property. Please feel free to ask us if you have any questions—we are happy to answer them!

Our stay at this cabin in Luray, VA was absolutely perfect! The back deck offered breathtaking views of Shenandoah National Park — we spent hours just soaking in the scenery. Evenings were magical around the fire pit, sharing stories under the stars. And the hot tub? The perfect way to unwind and find total serenity after a day of exploring. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a peaceful getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — can’t wait to come back!

Perfect

Woukdnt have changed a thing. The cabin was very clearly well taken care of. I loved that everything was labeled (light switches, controls, etc..) the view is what you see in movies and it's so quiet and peaceful. My husband and I go away to a cabin every year for our anniversary and this is by far the best. We normally like to go somewhere different every year but we already decided wed be back to the shenandoah solitude.

Surprisingly clean

I mean I don't wanna make it sound like I expected it to be dirty, but I expected it to be cobwebby and buggy; it's a mountain, not a lab. But you can look at the ceiling beams, the top of the A-frame... spotless. Even the exterior lights. Made me not want to go home and face my own mess.

Beautiful solitude in the mountains

This house was gorgeous! The view was simply amazing. The view of the sunrise in the morning was my favorite. This was absolute solitude in the mountains if that's what you are looking for. Just to make note the drive was a little scary for me and I would not do it if you don't have 4 wheel drive, even if it's not snowing. We have little kids so it was a little concerning for me to be on the side of the mountain like that but it's just as pictured! We def would go back once our kids are a bit older!

The Perfect Romantic Getaway

My wife and I had to cancel some other travel plans we had due to some unexpected time restraints. We had less than a week, but wanted to find somewhere to enjoy a quick getaway... that's when we found Solitude. It checked off all of our boxes: cabin on a mountainside, hot tub, swing, grill, fire pit, view, & charm. This cabin has all of these in spades. There were also all the small & more pragmatic things that made the stay very easy: kitchen gadgets, multiple coffee options, that citronella candle outside, grill tools, etc. We arrived with our 'basics' and found that if we had forgotten anything, the homeowners had thought of it. While this was more a getaway for my wife and I, we have decided we will be bringing back our kiddos with us next time as there was ample space to accommodate everyone between the 3 bedroom--though Mom & Dad get dibs on the loft bedroom with the sunrise view. :) Thank you for the great experience... highly recommend this cabin and we'll be coming back again!

Wonderful escape from the world

My wife and I reserved Shenandoah Solitude after COVID-19 severely disrupted our original honeymoon plans. However, we both agreed that renting this house was a better experience than what we had originally planned! I don't know what our favorite part of this beautiful, lodge style home built into the mountainside was: waking up in the 'clouds' on misty mornings, deer and wildlife sightings, the hot tub, gas fire place, cornhole pit, outdoor firepit... the list goes on. We'll jump at the chance to visit again! One "even better if" is more transparency about hiking opportunities. While national parks are in the area, you have to drive there; i.e. hiking opportunities are not 'walkable' from the house. This is something to consider if you are not driving an AWD vehicle.

Cute cozy cabin with an amazing view, close to everything but entirely secluded.

The cabin was beautiful and so cozy. The fireplace is easily turned on and off which makes it something we actually used quite a bit, especially on the one rainy afternoon. The view was amazing and the sunrise over the mountains was unbelievable. Hot tub was perfect. Grilling and cornhole made for a really great day in. Completely secluded but the location was so close to everything we wanted to visit as soon as we left the neighborhood. The only thing we had real issues with was the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I read the reviews and expected some bugs in the jacuzzi tub, we are in the woods with air conditioning units they can sneak in through. So I cleaned the tub out before use and ran the jets. Once I actually got in with soap and hotter water, black specks of mold came out of the jets. Our shower was clogged before any use. That was not an enjoyable part of our experience.

PERFECT Shenandoah stay!

I can't say enough great things about this beautiful cabin. I've already recommended it to several people. The owners provide a comprehensive binder guide for guests, which I found incredibly helpful. Everything was thoughtfully designed, from the mult-tiered decking area to the decor inside. You'll be surrounded by a peaceful viewing experience day and night. Be prepared that this is in the mountains, so you will have to drive a bumpy uphill road to get there, but I promise it is worth it! You also might see a few bugs inside, but this is a part of being in nature. I never found it bothersome. The place is clean. All three beds were comfy and the loft area was really cute. My son loved staying up there. For context, it was very hot outside during our stay, so it got a bit warm inside in the living area and loft during the day despite the A/C, but the ceiling fans helped a lot. Grocery stores are about a 10-minute drive away for convenience. The grill and firepit area were perfect for a cookout and s'mores. The Luray Caverns and Rescue Zoo are about 15 minutes away, making it a fantastic location for doing the fun, touristy stuff in the area. We went to Shenandoah one day and the Caverns on another. Coming back to this relaxing oasis after a long day of activity in the heat was SO nice. It was really hot for the hot tub during our visit, but we did get in at night, which was added relaxation. I highly recommend staying here for some true R&R. I can't wait to come back in the Fall! I also recommend going to Flotzies and Jess' Main Street Bar and Grill!

We had an amazing stay here and would definitely come back! Solitude is what we got without being bored because there’s so much to do at the property - hot tub, games, foosball, horseshoes, corn hole, fire pit or just enjoying the view from the swing or one many comfortable seats inside or outside. The house was spotless and the view was incredible.

Incredible view!!!

The house is very comfortable and accommodated the four of us with plenty of room to spread out. The property is gorgeous, with trails that lead to the horseshoe pit and fire pit, as well as more incredible views of the mountains and valley below. The back decks (upper and lower levels) provide amazing views of the mountains, and the sunrise is worth getting up early to see! The almost 2-mile road to get to the house is a little treacherous, and either front-wheel or all-wheel drive is highly recommended. The owners were very responsive when we had a question about check-in. Great location, too! We would return in a heartbeat!

An astonishing view!!

My wife and I have stayed in more than a few cabins in the past and I have to say, so far this was definitely one of our favourite places. If there was a way to leave 10 stars, I would. The place has an amazing view, not only from a deck below but also from the balcony and the bedroom upstairs. We were also very touched by a little sign of “welcome” on the kitchen counter personalising my name. And we definitely appreciated finding a pile of sticks near the fire pit prepared in order to help with fire. That was very thoughtful. This will definitely be place to visit again!

Nice Home in the Mountains

The house was very clean, and the view was nice. The host was communicative and responsive, which we really appreciated. During our stay, the hot tub did not work which was disappointing but the host was quick to respond and ultimately provided some compensation for the inconvenience. A few things that may be helpful to know - the fireplace did not always turn on since it was on a thermestat (the temp in the room had to be pretty cold for it to ignite), the third bedroom is the basement/bottom floor, and the roads leading up to the house are a bit treacherous. These were not issues for us, but may be helpful to know.

Shenandoah Solitude Lives Up to the Name

My husband and I booked this for a weekend retreat away without our littles. Out in the middle of nowhere, we were surrounded by forest, wildlife, and complete quiet. We enjoyed seeing sooo many stars in the sky from the warmth of the hot tub on a cold Winter's night. We enjoyed quiet reading with HOT coffee (a luxury when a mom of littles), while enjoying the scenic mountainscape from the giant east-facing window. As recommended in the listing, AWD or 4x4 is definitely necessary if it's anticipated to be muddy or snowy. The accommodation was well appointed, with a binder full of helpful information and things to do. We enjoyed the fire pit, foosball table, and cards. The Smart TV was clutch on a playoff football weekend. We left feeling incredibly connected, refreshed, relaxed, and even a little sad to go. We will definitely be back!
