Large Log Cabin Near Luray Shenandoah National Park Mountain View up to 30 GUEST

Hosting your group was a pleasure! Thank you for the fantastic 10 out of 10 review and your kind words about us. We want our guests to feel welcome and comfortable asking questions, so we’re especially pleased that our communication helped make your stay enjoyable. With 17 guests, having room to spread out while still spending time together makes a difference. The Lodge’s 10 bedrooms, five bathrooms, dining table seating 20, and spacious gathering areas make it well suited to shared meals and relaxed evenings. The game room, hot tub, fire pit, and covered porches offer plenty of ways for everyone to enjoy their vacation. Beyond the cabin, Hawksbill Retreat’s 45-acre grounds include walking trails, gazebos, and a stocked fishing pond. For group outings, there’s plenty to choose from: exploring Luray Caverns, horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables, enjoying the Shenandoah River, or taking in the scenery along Skyline Drive. Nearby Wisteria Farm & Vineyard and the activities at Massanutten Resort provide still more options for different interests. We appreciate you choosing The Lodge as the gathering place for your group. Thank you for sharing your experience—we’d be delighted to host your next get-together! Warmly, Randy and Misty

Everyone around one table, evenings by the fire pit, and plenty of porch space to relax—what a wonderful way to spend time together! Thank you for your thoughtful 10 out of 10 review. We’re delighted The Lodge comfortably accommodated all 15 of you and that you’re already planning another visit. You highlighted some of our favorite features: spaces where the whole group can gather, along with quieter spots to spread out and enjoy the surroundings. With 10 bedrooms, five bathrooms, generous outdoor seating, and that large dining table, The Lodge gives groups room to share meals, conversations, and unhurried time together. We also appreciate your comments about cleanliness, accurate descriptions, and communication. Having the property ready and welcoming when you arrive matters to us, and we’re pleased those efforts helped your visit go smoothly. As you discovered, our location makes it easy to plan a variety of Shenandoah outings. A future visit could include Luray Caverns, hiking and scenic overlooks in Shenandoah National Park, horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables, or seasonal adventures on the Shenandoah River. For a leisurely afternoon, there’s nearby Wisteria Farm & Vineyard—or you can stay right here and explore Hawksbill Retreat’s 45-acre grounds, walking trails, gazebos, and stocked fishing pond. We’d love to welcome your group back for another round of shared meals and evenings around the fire. Thank you for making The Lodge your gathering place! Warmly, Randy and Misty

Thank you for recognizing The Lodge’s cleanliness and confirming that the bedroom layout worked well for your group of 18. Providing enough space for a large group to stay, dine, and spend time together is one of The Lodge’s greatest strengths. We would like to clarify the comment that attractions other than Luray are all at least an hour away, as that could give future guests an inaccurate impression of our location. There are numerous options considerably closer, including horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables and wine tasting at Wisteria Farm & Vineyard, both here in Stanley. Hawksbill Recreation Park, with its seasonal swimming pool, is directly across the road from Hawksbill Retreat. Other outings within a 30 to 45-minute drive include river adventures and parks in the town of Shenandoah, Shenandoah Caverns, Endless Caverns, New Market’s historic attractions, and Massanutten Resort. Shenandoah National Park’s Thornton Gap entrance is also within that range, although reaching particular trails or waterfalls farther along Skyline Drive naturally adds travel time. The Lodge itself offers 10 bedrooms, five bathrooms, dining seating for 20, a game room, hot tub, fire pit, and spacious covered porches. Guests also have access to the retreat’s walking trails and stocked fishing pond, providing plenty to enjoy without leaving the property. We appreciate your observation that the house is centrally located to many enjoyable activities. That combination of a peaceful setting, nearby attractions, and room for everyone to gather is exactly what The Lodge offers.

Bringing 27 family members together—including five little ones—is a special occasion, and we’re delighted The Lodge gave everyone room to feel comfortable! Thank you for your thoughtful 10 out of 10 review. Hearing that you enjoyed the gathering and felt you received good value means a great deal to us. We loved reading how your family used the space: gathering around the large dining table, enjoying time outdoors, and keeping the children entertained with games and air hockey when the rain arrived. Those shared meals and everyday moments together are exactly what we hope The Lodge makes possible. Its 10 bedrooms, five bathrooms, and generous gathering areas help families settle in while giving everyone room to spread out. Thank you, too, for recognizing the spotless arrival condition, comfortable beds, effective air-conditioning, and easy check-in. We’re happy our communication struck the right balance—available when you needed us while respecting your family’s time and privacy. Your note about cleaning supplies, pantry staples, and laundry detergent is helpful feedback as we review how we communicate what guests should bring. It’s wonderful that you also enjoyed the nearby town, walking path, and coffee shop. Along with convenient grocery shopping, our location offers plenty of possibilities for family outings, from Luray Caverns and its museums to scenic drives and hikes in Shenandoah National Park. Horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables and seasonal adventures on the Shenandoah River offer more to explore. Back at Hawksbill Retreat, the 45-acre grounds, walking trails, gazebos, and stocked fishing pond provide opportunities to enjoy a quieter day together. We’re honored you chose The Lodge for your family gathering and appreciate the useful details you shared for future guests. We would love to welcome your family back as the little ones grow and new memories take shape! Warmly, Randy and Misty
