From the beginning our stay was exactly what we were hoping for. The cabin was small but cozy with good sized room spaces. The electric fireplace was fantastic and made the living room feel super welcoming. We mainly cooked at the cabin for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it was well stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed. The owners kept in contact with us throughout our stay and made check in and check incredibly easy. The town of Luray was welcoming and easy to find things to do. We had dinner at a fantastic little Mexican restaurant and checked out the caverns on one of our adventures out. All in all the stay was fantastic and now that we know how close the river is, we’re looking forward to going back when the weather is warmer. The only thing I can say to people visiting while there are still snow and ice on the ground — if you’re a hiker make sure you bring gear that is safe for those conditions. We are enthusiast hikers but unfortunately didn’t have gear to do the hikes we wanted safely. We will definitely be back to do those also!

Much needed break!

Wonderful retreat from a busy life! The cabin was immaculately cleaned and ready for us. We had forgotten a few items and were so pleased our hosts had happened to have those items ready! All the things we just didn't think of, they had available for us. We had such a wonderful time and were so grateful that we could bring our dogs. We would definitely love to return!!
