Perfect Getaway

This property checked all the boxes for our Shenandoah getaway. The cabin is perfectly located, nestled in a quiet neighborhood right at the trail head for The George Washington National Forest. There is a great general store, Kites, right at the beginning of the street, we went there daily for coffee, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, local products, etc. The cabin is a short drive to downtown Luray (we enjoyed Gathering Grounds coffee and walking the Hawksbill Greenway path through town). The Thorton Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Forest is a 20 minute drive from Luray and a great starting point to explore the park. The cabin itself is spacious, clean and loaded with amenities (laundry, gas fireplace, 2 bathrooms, outdoor hot tub, gas grill, etc.). We particularly enjoyed having a large fenced in backyard to let our dog out. The owners were prompt and courteous in all correspondence and made booking this stay a breeze. Will definitely return in the future.

Cousins' Weekend

This home is simply perfect. Clean, cozy, and charming. Sumptuous beds and linens, the hot tub under the stars, and morning coffee on the porch. It was just what we needed. Our hosts were on top of everything, including my request that the AC be on when we arrived on a hot afternoon. Thanks, Don and Lina

Our great escape

My (now!) fiancee and I were celebrating our 10 year dating anniversary and wanted to get away with our two baby bears (Bernese mountain dogs are the best if you didn't know!) for a staycation within a few hours of the DMV. The Great Escape came up in a pet friendly search, (after an already exhaustive search elsewhere) and seemed to check all of the proverbial boxes (and boy, did it). Not only was the property beautiful, well maintained, clean, well stocked, close enough to everything (but far away, too!), and as serene as we could ask for, it was the perfect place for our bears to run around and play (for the 5 minutes they want to) in a safe, fenced in environment!The side quest of this mission, though, was to surprise my girlfriend with an engagement, and all she ever asked for was it to just be us, somewhere quiet and meaningful, with some record of it happening. There are beautiful cherry blossoms in front of the house, which luckily were in bloom, and I was able to propose while (sneakily) video'ing instead of taking pictures. It was a perfect moment, in the perfect setting, and fortunately, even after making her wait 10 years, she said yes!Don and Linda were amazing hosts who provided us, both before and during our stay, plenty of information, local places to visit/see, all of the amenities we could ask for, comfy beds to lay our heads on, and the pet friendliness you won't get from anywhere else. It truly was our great escape, and one of our greatest memories.

Cozy cabin

Such a nice getaway and so very cozy. We spent the weekend here as a getaway following our wedding. It was a quiet area and the layout was great for me with mobility issues and the yard is incredible and a great place for dogs, we had our service animals with us and the amenities they provided for dogs were great too. We will definitely try to stay again.

Another Perfect Escape

We have stayed in the Great Escape multiple times. It is always clean, comfortable, inviting, and well stocked. The neighborhood is quiet and a short walk to the National Forest. Our dogs have a wonderful time playing and exploring in the large, securely fenced back yard. Communication with the host is great, they are very helpful and responsive. I travel to the area to visit and do family research fairly often. The Great Escape is always my first choice for lodging.

We have vacationed at The Great Escape more times than we can count. We keep returning because it is a wonderful cabin. It has everything we need - fully stocked kitchen, very comfortable furnishings, convenient location, etc. It also has some very nice extras including a nice hot tub and a fenced in backyard, which is great for the dog. Don and Lina are excellent hosts and make communication easy. We hope to return yet again soon!

Great Stay in Shenandoah Area

We just got back from our 5 day, 4 night stay in the Great Escape. We loved the cabin. It was super clean and comfortable. We were able to hike in Shenandoah easily from the cabin and experienced the greatest night sky on the back deck every night. The kitchen was a great plus as we cooked breakfast every morning. We highly recommend and are already planning on our next stay.

Open concept cabin with beautiful fenced in back yard. Very clean and very cozy. We made dinner almost every night and the kitchen had everything we needed including grilling utensils. We loved the hot tub for relaxing after our hikes and the front porch to sit and chat. The bed was very comfortable and having two bathrooms was super convenient. My husband and I have stayed at many VRBOs and this one is in our top 2. Thank you Don and Lina for a wonderful vacation experience! Susan and Roger
