Just the right space for two, with mountains to admire—what a lovely way to enjoy a getaway! Thank you for sharing your experience in Cabin #8. We’re delighted the cabin felt like a perfect fit and that the views made your stay special.
There’s plenty to enjoy beyond your cabin, too. Hawksbill Retreat’s 45-acre grounds offer walking trails, gazebos, and a stocked fishing pond, giving you room to wander and find a peaceful spot to spend time together.
For a day out, nearby Wisteria Farm & Vineyard and horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables make lovely couples’ outings. You can also explore Luray Caverns, stroll Luray’s Hawksbill Greenway, or discover more mountain views along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.
We’d love to welcome you both back to Cabin #8 for another chance to relax, explore, and enjoy the scenery. Thank you for choosing Hawksbill Retreat!
Warmly,
Randy and Misty
Everything was as described. The instructions and communication was clear. We had a wonderful time!

A wonderful vacation starts with feeling comfortable before you even arrive! Thank you for your 10 out of 10 review. We’re so pleased the clear instructions, communication, and accurate description helped make your stay in Cabin #8 easy and enjoyable.
We want your time at Hawksbill Retreat to be yours to enjoy—from a leisurely morning taking in the mountain scenery to a stroll around our 45-acre grounds. The walking trails, gazebos, and stocked fishing pond offer lovely opportunities to spend time outdoors together without planning a full day away.
When adventure calls, our Stanley location makes a welcoming home base for exploring the Valley. Discover Luray Caverns, try horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables, or visit Wisteria Farm & Vineyard. Scenic drives and hikes in Shenandoah National Park, along with recreation on the Shenandoah River, give you plenty of ways to make each visit different.
Thank you for letting us know you had such a wonderful time. We’d be happy to help you plan another stay in Cabin #8 whenever you’re ready for your next getaway!
Warmly,
Randy and Misty
We had the most incredible stay at this property. This entire retreat (and more importantly our cabin) is meticulously maintained. We will absolutely be back again. This is the PERFECT place to escape for a weekend - or longer - to unplug and reconnect. The cabin itself is everything you could ask for and more.

“Unplug and reconnect” captures exactly what we hope a stay here makes possible. Thank you for your heartfelt review and the 10 out of 10! We’re thrilled that Cabin #8 exceeded your expectations and gave you such a memorable escape together.
Your recognition of the care put into both the cabin and the grounds means a great deal to us. Maintaining a welcoming, comfortable retreat takes attention every day, and hearing that you noticed those efforts is especially rewarding.
Whether you visit for a weekend or settle in for longer, our 45-acre property offers time and space to enjoy the mountain scenery, stroll the walking trails, pause at a gazebo, or spend a quiet afternoon by the stocked fishing pond. Sometimes leaving the day entirely unplanned is the best part of being away.
For days when you feel like exploring, you can discover Luray Caverns, enjoy wine tasting at Wisteria Farm & Vineyard, or experience the countryside on horseback at Jordan Hollow Stables. Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, and the Shenandoah River offer more opportunities to spend time outdoors before returning to your cozy cabin.
We’re so pleased you found a place you want to return to. Thank you for choosing Hawksbill Retreat—we look forward to welcoming you back for another chance to slow down and reconnect!
Warmly,
Randy and Misty
The property is beautiful with a nice view of the mountains, me and my husband really enjoyed our time there! :)

We’re so glad you and your husband enjoyed your time in Cabin #8! Thank you for the lovely words and the 10 out of 10 rating. It’s a pleasure to know that the mountain views and beautiful surroundings added something special to your getaway together.
There’s something wonderful about having no reason to hurry. At Hawksbill Retreat, you can spend the morning enjoying the scenery, explore the walking trails across our 45-acre grounds, or visit the stocked fishing pond before settling back into your cabin.
If your next visit includes some exploring, you’ll find plenty nearby to enjoy as a couple. Discover the remarkable formations at Luray Caverns, plan a tasting at Wisteria Farm & Vineyard, or take a horseback ride at Jordan Hollow Stables. Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park offer even more mountain scenery, while the Shenandoah River provides opportunities for a day on the water.
Thank you for sharing your happiness with us. We’d love to have you both back for another stay in Cabin #8!
Warmly,
Randy and Misty
The cabin was absolutely beautiful. Check in instructions were very clear and we had no issues! Comfy bed, spacious shower, clean hot tub, full kitchen, fireplace outside and electric fireplace inside. The property owner stopped by to help us with some pestering hornets and was so nice!! We enjoyed a full day on the property sitting outside on the porch swing overlooking the mountains for hours. This spot now holds a special place in our hearts as we got engaged here. We will 100% be returning to this property.

Congratulations on your engagement! What an honor to know that Cabin #9 will always be part of your story together. The photo you shared of your hands together and that beautiful engagement ring makes your review especially touching. Thank you for letting us share in your happiness—and for the wonderful 10 out of 10!
We loved reading about your day spent enjoying the property and lingering on the porch swing overlooking the mountains. Those unhurried hours together are exactly what we hope our guests find at Hawksbill Retreat. It’s also lovely to hear that the comfortable bed, spacious shower, clean hot tub, kitchen, and fireplaces helped you settle in and enjoy your stay. We were happy to come by and help with those bothersome hornets, too!
When you return, you’ll have a very special place to revisit, along with more of our 45-acre grounds, walking trails, gazebos, and stocked fishing pond to enjoy. If you decide to venture out, a celebratory afternoon at Wisteria Farm & Vineyard, horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables, or a scenic drive through Shenandoah National Park could make wonderful additions to your next getaway. Luray Caverns and adventures on the Shenandoah River offer even more memories to make together.
But we certainly understand if that porch swing and mountain view are first on your list! We would be thrilled to welcome you back to the place where this new chapter began. Wishing you both much happiness as you plan your future together.
Warmly,
Randy and Misty
The cabin and location was phenomenal! The views from the front porch, hot tub and fire pit were amazing. Comfy bed, clean cabin and nice peaceful environment was perfect. Hosts were only a text away and we will definitely come back to cabin #8! Perfect getaway!
The cabin was beautiful, the property was well kept. The views were incredible. Amazing place to stay to relax and disconnect. We will definitely go back.
The stay was perfect! Although the use of the outside amenities was limited due to tempatures and wind. the cabin was extremly clean and well kept. The cabin had everything you would need and was warm and comfortable. The property is beautiful. The morning views were exactly what we were looking for. We will be coming back in warmer weather. Also the Stanley Diner is by far the best hidden gem to eat at and its 2 miniutes away.
Everything was great! Nothing to complain about and nothing but good times. Sitting in the hot tub in December was amazing. Access on and off the property and to the local town area and the grocery stores was convenient. Washer and dryer was also very convenient and the electronic fireplace and DVD player to just kind of chill out in between trips to town was a nice touch. The rustic feel of the interior and everything was really great. My Lady was thoroughly impressed!
This property was perfect for our trip. It was extremely clean, quiet and good proximity to access hiking Shenandoah trails. Hot tub and porch great for relaxing after long days hiking. Would definately stay here again.
Really enjoyed our stay at Hawksbill Retreat. The location provided for beautiful scenic mountain views, a perfect spot for star gazing, and a real feel of peace and quiet. Loved the local winery and the Luray Caverns! Would definitely book again
