A quiet mountain morning greets you as steam rises from the hot tub and the Shenandoah Valley stretches beyond the trees. Birdsong fills the crisp air while sunlight filters through the pines, inviting you to linger on the deck or step inside for a cozy pause. Here the rhythm slows, the fire pit glows, and the cabin feels like a private retreat just minutes from town.
Sleeping arrangements
The cottage sleeps up to 10 guests across three bedrooms and a living‑room sofa. One bedroom offers a queen bed, while the other two feature queen‑twin bunk beds. A pull‑out sofa in the living area provides additional sleeping space. Linens, extra pillows and blankets are supplied for comfortable mountain nights.
Living space
All living areas are on a single level with a private entrance, making arrival and movement effortless. Natural light fills the main room, where comfortable seating faces a TV for relaxed evenings. Central heating and air conditioning keep the interior comfortable year‑round, and WiFi is available though the remote setting can sometimes cause spotty service.
Kitchen & dining
The fully equipped kitchen holds everything needed for home‑cooked meals, from a hearty breakfast to a comforting dinner. A dining table nearby makes it easy to share meals without leaving the cabin, and a grill is ready for outdoor cooking when the weather permits.
Outdoor living
The backyard and deck invite you to step outside at any time. The year‑round hot tub is perfect for soaking under open skies, and the fire pit offers a warm gathering spot as dusk settles. A grill adds the option of outdoor meals, while the surrounding nature provides a peaceful backdrop.
Pet Policy
We’re happy to welcome dogs to join you on your getaway! Please note that due to allergies, we’re unable to accommodate cats. A $29 pet fee applies per furry friend, per night to help cover additional cleaning and care. Thanks for understanding—we look forward to hosting you and your pup!
Longer Stays
For stays of 14 nights or longer, guests will be asked to e-sign a rental agreement prior to arrival. This agreement helps us comply with local requirements while protecting the property, and will be sent in advance for review.
Practical comforts
A washer and dryer, bathroom essentials and a bathtub make longer stays convenient. Free on‑site parking, a lockbox for self check‑in and a private entrance add flexibility to your arrival.
Neighborhood & attractions
A short walk brings you to the Shenandoah River, offering scenic views in every season. Downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns are about a ten‑minute drive, along with local restaurants, breweries and shops. Shenandoah National Park and surrounding mountain trails are nearby, providing endless opportunities for hiking, biking and exploring.

About the host
Hosted by Tony Cappaert
I live in DC with my wife and three young kids. I love camping/hiking, drinking (and sometimes brewing) great beer and wine, exploring new restaurants and shops, and traveling all over.
Why they chose this property
We spent years searching for the perfect getaway, and wanted to be close enough to DC that we could do a day trip. We fell in love with the area – and Ellery Cottage in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
