Amazing cabin!

We loved this little cozy cabin! It was clean and comfortable, perfect for the two of us. The view was beautiful and the balcony and hot tub were so appreciated. The hosts were sweet to leave homemade cookies for us! We enjoyed a hike at Shenandoah River State Park and a nice dinner at The Chop House. We’ll definitely be back!

Satisfying for a weekend getaway

Property was easy to locate and readily accessible. Did not realize property was on a mountain that had steep hills, just a fear of mine so it was more jarring for me but it may be nothing of substance for someone else who is used to country living. House itself was super cute and intimate! We loved the layout and hot tun was clean enough to the location and environment

Cute Cabin

My husband and i came out to the area to see the caverns and skyline drive. This cabin was such a great spot for both of those activities. The cabin was clean and in a perfect area. The view was amazing and the hot tub was so nice.

Great Mountain Getaway

Really enjoyed our stay in Luray, and the Chalet was a big part of it. Super easy to get there, key box was easy, and everything was seamless once we got there. Super cute A-frame with a beautiful view very close to Luray. 10/10 recommend!

We are so sad to leave!

We had an amazing weekend at the Chalet. We went for my boyfriend’s birthday, and he was so excited when we pulled up. We enjoyed the quaint fireplace, beautiful house, and got plenty on use out of the hot tub. The house has so much character and we will definitely be back!!

Read the fine Print, towels/sheets on request only

This property did not meet the expectations I have for VRBO properties. We showed up late, around 9 PM and wanted to shower and go straight to bed, but came to find there were no towels or sheets on the beds. Upon further evaluation of the listing, there is a mention that linens are only provided upon request, and for an additional fee. This was not listed in the property description, or the Important to Know sections, rather it was buried in the Amenities, scrolling all the way to the bottom and listed in the notes section. I made this mistake, hopefully you won’t. In addition, there was no soap or shampoo provided in showers. I guess I have come to expect sheets and soap when I’m paying to rent a property, this was a major pain point for us as we started out our first night in frustration.

A short getaway

A very nice cabin in a great location. We loved getting in the hot tub after a long hike, especially at night when the stars were out. Overall the cabin was clean and had everything we needed apart from the upstairs bathroom, there was still trash in the trash can and hair on the bathtub. Other than that we had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

Shelter in the Storm

We LOVED the house, view, and area. Tropical Storm Debby came through & we weathered it out at the Chalet, and it was beautiful to see. Check-in was a breeze, and we enjoyed the town of Luray & exploring the area! Perfect get-away!

The house was adorable and perfectly clean with everything we needed. The hot tub was nice and evenings on the deck were amazing. The view is unreal. Cute places to eat in Luray nearby. Drive to the national park not too bad :) we loved our weekend.

Perfect

We spent a week at the Chalet in early June, and it was perfect. The view from the front room/deck is unforgettable. The view was equally compelling in the early morning light and the evening dusk, in the night when the valley below was illuminated by hundreds of fireflies, and when a curtain of heavy rain slowly crossed the mountains before reaching the house. From the deck we saw lots of deer and a raccoon. The deck gets full bright sun in the early morning, but there is a second outdoor space by the parking that is wonderfully shaded and is perfect for outdoor breakfast (and has a fire pit). There are other houses nearby but you can barely see them, and they were quiet the whole time we were there. It was easy to get to Luray (I recommend Hawksbill Brewing and the Asian Station), to the Thornton entrance of the National Park and the State Park, and to the river. Don't forget your linens, including towels. For us it was absolutely perfect; I can't think of anything that could have made it any better.

About the host

Hosted by Derek Goebel

Woodside Cabins is family owned and operated. Olga and I have been in the vacation cabin business for 20 years and take great pride in our properties. I grew up in the area and we both have a deep love and appreciation for the Blue Ridge Mountains and our beautiful Shenandoah Valley.

Why they chose this property

The Chalet offers one of the most beautiful sunrise views in the Shenandoah Valley. From almost all the living spaces in the cabin you can take in the spectacular view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.There is a large screen porch jsut off the kitchen with new wicker furniture and a table for 4.

What makes this property unique

The Chalet offers one of the most beautiful sunrise/moonrise views in the valley. If you wake early enough you can take your coffee to the hot tub and watch the sun come up over the Blue Ridge Mountains. In the evening the sun reflects off the mountains and the play of light is breathtaking.
