Super nice mountain vacation!

Really enjoyed the time here. It was clean, had everything we needed, comfy beds, and lots of lovely aesthetic touches. You're just remote enough to feel alone but close enough to civilization to be convenient. The location is great so close to the different caverns and all the hikes at Skyline Drive. We would definitely return.

The property is amazing in all ways. Not only has the host thought of everything (smores kit, towels for the hot tub, interests in the area, corn hole, horseshoes, walking trails, board games, card games, toiletries, etc), the views & peacefulness were outstanding.

Amazing place for a family getaway!

We had a wonderful time at the bunker! The property is beautiful and most interesting place we stayed so far. Very clean and welcoming, more fun than we expected. The porch with a mountain view itself would be enough to call it a great place to relax and chill. Add to it a well prepared bone fire place for evenings, with sky full of stars above, and you may need nothing more. Perfect base to visit nearby National Park, Luray caverns and more. We loved it!

We loved the unique house, and the proximity to Shenandoah National Park. We also enjoyed the fire pit, and the complementary S’mores kit. The house was extremely clean, and comfortable.

We stayed in the bougie bunker for 4 nights. The home has been beautifully updated, there was great attention to detail. Views were breathtaking. And the home is in close proximity to the areas attractions/ places to see etc. I will just add, that the cell service (for us) was very slow/ spotty, there was one good spot on the porch - otherwise we had to wait till we got to town to really connect/ call anyone.

Mountain Seclusion

This being our first escape to the Shenandoah Region we planned lots of outdoor adventures, from hiking the AT, river tubing, caverns, exploring quaint towns, and more. We were excited about the bunker, but nothing could have prepared us for the amazing experience. It’s nestled within the mountains and very secluded. We had a great time porch sittting and looking out on the mountains. The hosts do a wonderful job of making the bunker cozy and providing extras such as games, movies and s’mores for the fire pit. As much fun as we had exploring the region, we always looked forward to coming back to the bunker to relax. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Remote Get Away

This is a great property and host. We wanted a remote place to relax a bit and that’s what we got. There are places near enough at the bottom of the driveway (1/4-1/2 mile’ish) but nothing next to or above you. The views are of the mountain side across the little valley and relaxing. The inside is well appointed and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we need and the bed was very comfortable. Very clean. The hot tub is a bonus. The pictures are a very accurate description of the property. And the hosts were great. Very good communication. We had a great stay and would stay again for sure.

Great weekend getaway

My family and I had a great time at the bunker. It's absolutely a different experience than your average vacation home. The ambiance is nice a peaceful, plenty of land to explore, a hot tub and plenty of space for our family of 5. (note, we brought a toddler air mattress for our youngest however 2 kids could have fit in the lower bunk). The drive up is steep and bumpy, we made it up with a minivan and civic but if we stay again we'll rent a 4-wheel drive for peace of mind. Lastly, I had car trouble unrelated to the driveway... I'm just that lucky - however, Kevin and Jamie were beyond gracious, even gave us suggestions of tow companies and mechanics to try. We really appreciated them understanding during the unforeseen, stressful circumstance. All in all we had a great time and the owners are wonderful. It's a unique experience our whole family enjoyed.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin Onizuk

Host profile image
Kevin and Jamie Onizuk live in Williamsburg, VA. We purchased this property in April 2021 as a retreat for our family and are excited to share it with our guests. We fell in love with the amazing views from the property, the privacy/seclusion, and the really cool bunker home. It is our favorite place to go to just get away from it all, with plenty of fun things to do in Luray, the Shenandoah Valley, and surrounding areas.

Why they chose this property

When we saw this property we were intrigued by its backstory and what we saw as its possibilities. When we visited, we completely fell in love with the parcel of land and its stunning views. We knew the bunker could be transformed into something amazing and we’re excited to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

Discover Shenandoah Valley’s legendary "The Bougie Bunker." Built by a doomsday prepper, this bunker boasts some very distinct characteristics combined with breathtaking views. Renovated to include one-of-a-kind local art, homey furnishings and décor, and a well-equipped kitchen. The great room is complete with skylights for natural lighting. Just minutes from Luray and only two hours from DC. Plenty of room to stretch your legs and rest your mind on 45 mountain acres with spectacular mountain views, plenty of wildlife, and endless hiking and outdoor opportunities.
