Perfect place for our family of four plus two furry family members. We really appreciated the fenced in yard for our dogs to play in. Conveniently located. We enjoyed our trip

We had a great time staying. Tony was very responsive and the cottage was very relaxing. The place was very affordable given we were allowed to bring our two French Bulldogs. I recommend and would stay again in the future.

We had a very enjoyable stay. There were four adults and two children. There was plenty of space for the six of us and two dogs. It might feel a little tight with any additional guests. The neighborhood felt quiet and safe. The backyard is fenced in so it was perfect for our dogs, but the grass definitely needed mowed. The home was very clean and the beds were comfy. It could use some cosmetic touch-ups (i.e. touch up paint and new rugs with edges that aren’t sticking up as tripping hazards). Otherwise we were very pleased with the house and our stay. Tony was great to work with.

The place is clean, Tony is very responsive and accommodative. He is definitely a great host. the place is very quite I wish we could stayed little longer. The place is very nice but plan to reach before it’s too dark not because of the location it’s because of the geography and sometimes mobile reception.

Positive: The house was super clean, spacious, great big back yard that is completely fenced in and has a hot tub! It’s located very close to Luray town and easy to get to/from Skyline Drive in less than 30 minutes. My dog had an absolute blast running around the yard and we loved that the property was pet friendly. Tony was extremely communicative and so easy to get a hold of. Really appreciated his help throughout our stay! Negative: The pictures are a bit nicer than the actual property. There are a bunch of random holes in the walls and spackled areas that aren’t painted. The windows don’t have blinds so it’s hard to keep out light in the mornings. Not a big deal, but mostly just not as nice as photos. I also think it was quite expensive for not being super updated and having a check-out time as early as 10am.

It was perfect for our family and our large dog Just make sure you find a way to secure the gate and you have a huge yard for the dog to run around in. Clean house, very comfortable beds and a nice big TV in the living room. What more can you ask for? Oh yeah a hot tub. 10 out of 10.

Positive: This was perfect for me and my family since we wanted to explore the Shenandoah National Park, the Luray Caverns, and the towns nearby. The host provided a detailed manual which included information on how to access the amenities in the cottage, nearby grocery stores, and recommended attractions. Negative: The only issue I had was that the master bedroom's sheets were not clean upon arrival. As we were preparing for bed we had found hair and lint under the blankets, however the host was quick to help by providing us new bedsheets to use.

Tony was a great host, very responsive to all messages and we got messages throughout our stay from them just checking in. The property is nice, nice decor, clean, great vibe! We did have an issue with the air conditioning, which is why the review is 4 instead of 5 stars overall. Tony and his team were responsive when I messaged them about it, but we were not able to get the system working properly during our stay. Other than that, this was truly one of the better AirBNB stays that I’ve had and I would definitely stay here again!

This is the perfect house for a big group looking to stay near Shenandoah River and Luray Caverns. We definitely enjoyed spending time in the backyard. We loved the fire pit, hot tub, and the outdoor yard game treasure box was full of games. We particularly enjoyed the giant Jenga and cornhole games. There was badminton but unfortunately the rackets were broken. The bugs are no joke but we brought plenty of bug spray and kept the place clean to prevent ants from taking over. Fantastic cottage for a great price. Highly recommend.

We had to make an unexpected last minute stop in Luray, and spent one night here. It was perfect for us! Tony was so wonderful and attentive, a great communicator! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a great bonus after a long day on the road! There was a fire pit and a big yard for the kids to play. It was a quiet peaceful area with a view of the mountains too! Plenty of room for each of us to have our own beds. We didn’t have time to do any thing in town, but it was not far from the house so it seemed like a great location. We enjoyed it so much we are already planning to stay there again on a return trip!

Very clean space. We have been to the Luray area for almost once a year, and this is by far the cleanest house we have been to. No weird bugs, centipedes, no strong deodorant to cover the bad toilet smell, etc, which are all very common in other airbnb in this area. The house style and decoration might not be perfect if you are aiming for showing off some pics on Ins, but it’s a great place for family gatherings – sufficient rooms, gas grill, fire pits, etc.

We stayed for a small bachelorette weekend trip and had a fun time in the area. It was relatively central to everything we wanted to do. We really enjoyed floating on the river and picked this place because there were enough beds/enough space for everyone to fit comfortably. The pictures and descriptions are accurate although I will say the place looked a little beat up/worse for wear in person – definitely clean etc. but also well used and with some things that are broken or missing a few extra touches I might expect for the price (no extra pillows/blankets/towels, hot tub kinda cloudy, etc.). Spacious backyard, we also booked specifically for the dog friendliness although they only let you bring 2 dogs (just a heads up, not stated anywhere but found out after booking thinking we could bring all our dogs as well). Host was very responsive and communicative. 🙂 We had a great time.

Had a fabulous family time with Son, daughter in law and granddaughters. Loved the deer in yard and little bunnies . Clean, roomy, things to do and games to play for just relaxing time. Thank you for the amazing place for our family memories!

We loved the backyard and certainly made good use of the fire pit, hot tub, and grill. Tony had awesome communication from booking to check out. Will absolutely look into Tony’s place again next time I’m looking for a Shenandoah getaway!

Really wonderful place! Large fenced backyard made us wish we brought the pups. The house was clean, and the beds were SO comfortable! The most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in away from home. You can tell the host was really intentional about guest comfort. There was plenty of room and very family friendly. Our favorite part was the evening – fireflies EVERYWHERE! We saw bunnies, deer, bats, etc. Can’t say enough great things about this place.

It has all the amenities one would need on a vacation, everything needed to grill, everything needed to sit by the fire. Ample furniture. Great bedrooms! Ample supplies for dish washing. Beautiful surroundings! Gorgeous property.
