This place was spotless, one of the cleanest vacation homes I have rented. Very comfortable; no complaints.
They had A TON of towels and I appreciated that. lol
We enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious, had good amenities and was in a good location. The pre-checkout cleaning requirements did feel onerous and we also had a guy come cut the grass all around the house right in the middle of the day without any warning.

Thank you for submitting your review and we’re glad you enjoyed your stay, Yindran. For our future guests, the pre-checkout cleaning requirements are fairly simple and only ask that the guest take their trash to the outside trash can and place dirty linens into the laundry baskets.
The Barred Owl is a beautiful and extremely clean home with plenty of kitchen-ware, towels, etc. Located at the top of a hill, it is super private on a lovely property. The hot tub was clean and soothing, as well as there is a nice grassy area to build a fire and enjoy the weather or roast smores. I highly recommend and would go back!
Great location, easy to find. Host gives clear instructions on how to find it. The cabin is a quiet getaway but still close to amenities, we forgot some things and grocery store was 6min away. Enjoyed the hot tub at the end of the day after hiking in the Shenandoah.
We had a great stay, the cabin is very cozy and cute! There was no shortage of amenities, plenty of towels, blankets, books, games etc. The home is very clean and we loved the hot tub. The location was nice and close to the grocery and downtown Stanley, I just wish I knew that most of the Shenandoah trails are 45-60 min away. That being said, we loved the home and would stay again.
My wife and I took a short mid week getaway, a beautiful 2 hour drive from Northern Virginia. This was a fantastic property, very clean, everything is nicely laid out and the cabin is cozy, quaint and comfortable. The amenities are very nice and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a hit, nice outdoor fire pit and a gas grill for good measure. There are some nice eateries in nearby Luray and nice sight seeing opportunities close by as well. The owners are great with communication and very hospitable. Highly recommend for a couples getaway!
Barred Owl Lodge is a beautiful, extremely clean and modern cabin. Lisa and her family have thought of almost everything as linens, towels, all kitchen and bathroom items were available as needed for their guests.
The only con: It's not as private as we liked personally, as the other cabins are just next door, with a very small separation of trees.
Overall 5 stars as everything inside is perfect, clean, and working well. Also Lisa's communication and information packet was fantastic and made the trip easy. Thank you again!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay, Jonathan. For future guests, regarding the privacy issue: the cabin is located on its own acreage with trees dividing the cabin from another on the adjacent acreage. Guests at both cabins would have to really strain to see each other due to the distance apart and the trees. (See aerial photo) The cabin is very private, but not remote, so if a guest is looking to be in a remote location this would not a good fit.
The Barred Owl Lodge was wonderful! The cabin was absolutely beautiful in such a beautiful setting! Because we stayed in March (with leaves off the trees) we also had great views of the mountains! The cabin was roomy, comfortable and very clean with awesome little touches like blankets to cozy up on the couch with! The fireplace with shelf of books and games was a fun family touch also! The wrap around porch with chairs and hot tub was lovely and there was even a firepit and grill area! Jim and Lisa are amazing hosts as they were great with lots of information about the area and cabin and easily available for any questions you may have! I hope we find our way back to Virginia in the future to stay with them again!
Beautiful, cozy cabin managed by extremely attentive owners
The cabin is beautiful, comfortable, and appears new. The owner provided extremely thorough pre-arrival instructions, including a list of local activities, hiking trails, and recommended restaurants. The cabin is equipped with everything one could imagine - clean linens, ample cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, and all the appliances one might need while away from home. We enjoyed using the hot tub and the outdoor grill and firepit; and we were particularly grateful for the pre-arrival information, which included a complete list of hiking trails. All check-in and check-out procedures were well-articulated. The owner even arranged to install a Roku device after the previous occupant reported that the DirectTV wasn't working properly. Having stayed in many other rentals, I had never received this level of comprehensive pre-arrival information or attention. I would absolutely stay in one of their rentals again.
The Barred Owl was a nice place to stay during our visit to Shenandoah National Park. It is close to Luray Caverns and one of the entrances to the NP. We loved the privacy of the property. It was a good size for our family of 4. The fully furnished kitchen and outdoor grill were nice to have since dining options were limited due to Covid. There are grocery stores nearby too. The hot tub was nice after a day of hiking. We really enjoyed our stay.
We had a wonderful time at the barred owl lodge!! We definitely want to come back! The owners were so nice and their attention to detail was great. Everything was very clean and there were clear instructions throughout entire cabin!!
Booked a last minute stay at a different cabin that turned out to be unavailable but the owners graciously upgraded us to their larger cabin nearby. Cabin was fantastic. Very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed sunrises overlooking the valley and fog. Would definitely go back next time we’re in the area.
Rented cabin for parents and grandparents who enjoyed their weekend stay and found the cabin to be clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet weekend away or as a home-base for someone looking to explore this beautiful part of the country.
