About this property

The Great Escape - Near everything yet off the beaten path

Located in the Shenandoah Valley our cabin is located on a quiet street on a 1/2 acre lot. The backyard is fenced for big and small dogs. On the back porch is a nice gas grill. A few steps down is a hot tub. The hot tub is nice especially when returning home from a day of hiking in the Shenandoah National Park which is only 20 minutes away. Inside the home are two bedrooms, each with a king size bed. We furnish wireless internet and satellite TV. I will email you a list of activities that are all close to our cabin. There is something for everyone at The Great Escape.

Awesome for a family vacation

Very clean, had everything we needed, and no issues! Location was great for seeing a variety of spots throughout the Shenandoah area. We brought our 1 year old daughter here and the cabin was safe and kid friendly!

Cozy, convenient & well-equipped

One of my best ever VRBO experiences! This is a lovely, well-designed house with top-notch kitchen appliances, nice porch & deck, gas grill & hot tub. We were two older couples getting together and going to see the sights in Shenandoah National Park. For hikers, there's an entrance to George Washington National Forest just a few yards from the house. The hosts were gracious, helpful and very responsive. Highly recommend this VRBO!

Beautiful getaway cabin!

I stayed here with my dog for 3 nights and we absolutely loved it! The neighborhood is nice and quiet and the views from the cabin and the street are breathtaking. The cabin is well stocked with everything one could need and the fenced yard was great for my dog!

Cousins' Weekend

This home is simply perfect. Clean, cozy, and charming. Sumptuous beds and linens, the hot tub under the stars, and morning coffee on the porch. It was just what we needed. Our hosts were on top of everything, including my request that the AC be on when we arrived on a hot afternoon. Thanks, Don and Lina

Perfect Getaway

This property checked all the boxes for our Shenandoah getaway. The cabin is perfectly located, nestled in a quiet neighborhood right at the trail head for The George Washington National Forest. There is a great general store, Kites, right at the beginning of the street, we went there daily for coffee, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, local products, etc. The cabin is a short drive to downtown Luray (we enjoyed Gathering Grounds coffee and walking the Hawksbill Greenway path through town). The Thorton Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Forest is a 20 minute drive from Luray and a great starting point to explore the park. The cabin itself is spacious, clean and loaded with amenities (laundry, gas fireplace, 2 bathrooms, outdoor hot tub, gas grill, etc.). We particularly enjoyed having a large fenced in backyard to let our dog out. The owners were prompt and courteous in all correspondence and made booking this stay a breeze. Will definitely return in the future.

Cozy cabin

Such a nice getaway and so very cozy. We spent the weekend here as a getaway following our wedding. It was a quiet area and the layout was great for me with mobility issues and the yard is incredible and a great place for dogs, we had our service animals with us and the amenities they provided for dogs were great too. We will definitely try to stay again.

Wonderful stay

We enjoyed staying here very much. House was very clean and the backyard was terrific for dogs. Location close to Shenandoah entrance and found a great Italian food restaurant called Mana Mia’s and great ice cream Elkton Creamery. Would definitely return if back in area.
