- Sleeps 6 | 3 bedrooms | 3 beds | 2 baths

- Wood stove & bright 2‑story great room

The Space:
Cold mountain air drifts through the trees as evening settles, and steam rises from the hot tub while the sky darkens over the Shenandoah Valley. Inside, the glow from the wood stove reflects off tall windows, casting a warm, inviting light across the bright two‑story great room. Mornings arrive quiet and bright, coffee in hand, with views that remind you how far you are from the rush of everyday life.
Sleeping Arrangements
The chalet sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms. Bedroom 1 features a king bed. Bedroom 2 holds a full bed, has no door but remains a private, quiet space. Bedroom 3 also includes a full bed. Two bathrooms serve the home, one equipped with a bathtub and bathroom essentials provided.
Kitchen & Dining
A fully stocked kitchen offers ample prep space for simple breakfasts or family dinners, and a dining table sits nearby for relaxed meals. Coffee is ready for your mornings, and the kitchen layout supports both shared gatherings and quiet evenings.
Outdoor Living
Step onto the deck to find a propane grill, outdoor seating, and a backyard perfect for fresh‑air moments. The hot tub invites soothing soaks under the open sky, especially in cooler weather, while the fire pit offers a spot for evening conversations and s’mores. The bright two‑story living space and large windows keep the outdoors feeling close even when you’re inside.
Family & Pet Friendly Comfort
Children’s books, toys, games, a high chair, and a washer and dryer make longer stays easy for families. The home is pet‑friendly for dogs, with no cats allowed due to allergies. A dedicated workspace and a TV with sound system support remote work and relaxed evenings.
Location & Nearby Attractions
The cabin sits about 15 minutes from downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns, with easy access to local breweries, restaurants, and shops. Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive are roughly a 30‑minute drive, offering hiking, scenic overlooks, and year‑round outdoor exploration. Wineries and charming small‑town stops round out the convenient base for exploring the area.
Water & Practical Notes
Tap water may appear yellow‑light brown because of natural iron and manganese; it is safe to drink, though a slight sulfur smell can occur. We recommend bringing bottled water for peace of mind. The cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but seasonal leaves and pollen may still be visible—nature leaves its mark, and we appreciate your understanding.
For entertainment, guests can enjoy TVs. Kitchens, washing machines, and 2 bathrooms are other standard amenities.

Great yard/ fire pit! Well stocked kitchen. Fast internet. Comfy beds.. Must absolutely bring bottled water...the metallic taste made it difficult to drink.

Overall the stay was pretty mid. The cabin was not as secluded as advertised. The cabin itself was very hot and the first night was unbearable even with the window unit ac exclusive to the living room. The host did provide fans for the rest of the stay. The shower head in the main bathroom is broken and the oven door cannot be opened as it hits a knob for an adjacent cabinet. There was not adequate towels provided for the stay, particularly as there is a hot tub. Overall it met our needs as we weren't spending much time in the cabin. The host was very responsive, but I did not like how they insist that you register through a second website in addition to VRBO.

Family week away
We booked this location for our family holiday. The house is nice, however one of the bedrooms upstairs does not have a door and the internet did not work for the duration of our stay. The host was responsive, but unable to resolve the issue.
