The property on the river was beautiful! Derek was quick to answer questions and check in was easy. There were three of us active older girls having a fun trip to the area. The cabin had a nice great room for relaxing at the end of our busy days. The bathrooms were extremely small and the stairs going down to the lower level (where the 2 bedrooms are) were very steep. My friends said the king bed was comfortable but the second bedroom mattress where I slept was not very comfortable. The inside of the cabin could use some updating as well. The outdoor space is nice and location is very private and secluded!

Cozy, warm cabin. Had a great Thanksgiving weekend with family, meeting there halfway between NJ and SC. Master bedroom lovely. Host was excellent and responsive. Would love to return in spring and summer to walk across the street to the river.

We love this cabin! We’ve been coming to Luray for 7 years now and have stayed in this cabin 5 of the 7 years. Its seclusion, riverfront, great fishing and quiet peacefulness is perfect!

Location is amazing; serene setting, very quiet. The cabin is very well kept, but has age. Bathrooms are VERY tight. Kitchen had updated appliances but the housewares were a bit dated.I would 100% stay here again, but with adjusted expectations. This is a wonderful cabin that is older. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, just appreciate you're stepping back in time.Communication with host was amazing! Very quick to reply. Even helped us within 20 minutes when we locked ourselves out of the cabin.Fishing well...it was fishing. But we saw tons of fish (bass, muskie) swimming. Just hit them at the wrong time of year. Overall outstanding location, great stay, and amazing host.

It was a nice, quiet, cozy cabin. There are a few neighbors but they're far enough away to still have some privacy. We woke up every morning to a herd of deer and group of turkeys in the field across from the cabin. The nights are very quiet and dark, perfect for a marshmallow roast at the fire pit.

That cabin is lovely and has a great view of the river from the deck area. The steps are a bit steep but we didn't have any trouble. The kitchen is very well equipment with plenty of dishes and pots and pans.

Picture Perfect Views

We had a wonderful time relaxing and unplugging at this adorable cabin. The views were beautiful and the cabin was very clean. We were near lots of hiking trails but yet close enough to town for restaurants and shops.

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing time with our dog. The cabin is just 20 minutes from the town, we mostly stayed at the cabin though. If it had been warmer the temperatures it would have been more amazing to use the outdoor amenities. The trip was mostly for the dog, and he really loved. Took him quite a few attempts to go up and down the first set of stairs before he was able to do it with hesitation. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook. Host was helpful answering questions before we arrived.

The house was as advertised! It was close to the national park. It was very clean and well stocked with essentials like toilet paper and paper towels and soaps. The beds were very comfortable with real mattresses, not the foam kind, which we prefer an actual mattress. There was ample seating in the living room with comfortable couches. The fire pit was awesome although you had to get your own wood. (There were a few pieces left there that we were able to use, but we purchased more to last us the entire stay.) The River view was great! We enjoyed staying there and would stay again if in the area. The only complaint we had was that the bathrooms were incredibly small. The showers were tiny. Overall, it was a great place and location! And the only reason we didn't give it the 5 stars was because of the small bathrooms and showers. There is also a very steep walkway to get to the cabin so if you have any sort of mobility issues, that may be a problem for you! The host was very responsive when I had questions. I would recommend this place for sure!
