Other Information

Cell service is available at our house. We have wifi that sometimes works great and sometimes not so great - this is unfortunately beyond our control as our more remote location limits options!

We are in the woods - woods which are shared with critters of all kinds. We have a pest control service, but we cannot spray the entirety of the forest, and we wouldn't want to - our local pollinators are important!

There are Ring doorbell cameras at both the front and back doors of the cabin.

    The cabin was exactly as advertised. There were little nit-picky things like the tiki torches were rotted and the fire starter was almost dead. But the outside string lights worked and we were able to roast a couple of marshmallows with the limited fire we had. I wish we’d had more hand towels, or aluminum foil, or some ziplock bags. A hair dryer would have been wonderful! The owner did reach out and ask us if we needed anything, but these were all little things. We could have gone to Walmart ourselves if it’d mattered so much. Overall, the place was wonderful and the location was exactly where we wanted to be.

    The host was very nice and everything looked okay at first glance, but unfortunately there were a few really unpleasant issues that made our stay uncomfortable.First, the amount of pet hair was overwhelming. We were absolutely covered just from sitting on the couch. We had our own dog with us (a bichon), and we actually had to open the windows because we were having allergic reactions.Second, the bedding had clearly not been changed. When we went to put our children to bed, there was a significant amount of long dog hair, food crumbs, and even a fake eyelash (ew!) on and under the covers. The host suggested we look for clean bedding in the hallway closet, but there wasn’t any available.I vacuumed in the morning and the vacuum bag was nearly full just from pet hair from a long-haired dog. We ended up leaving as soon as possible.Additionally, we never received check-in instructions and had to ask the host for both the front door code and the WiFi password, as neither was posted anywhere.For 350 a night, we really expected much better in terms of basic cleanliness and communication.

    We had an amazing time! This place was perfect for the short getaway my wife and I were trying to have. The hot tub was fantastic, especially after a long hike, and it was cool watching Castle in the Sky in the middle of the woods. We were even visited by a Rosy Maple Moth in the middle of the movie, and I had never seen one of those in real life before! Definitely would stay again!

    This place is supercute! There is a very home-y feel to everything. They have multiple options of things to do on the property as well as give you lots of ideas of things to do in the area. Our family of 5 really enjoyed getting away from everyday life and being able to spend it in a home away from home.

    Very nice rustic get-a-way in a quiet neighborhood - relaxing retreat. Close to attractions and kayaking in the river. The outdoor theater was a nice touch - helpful hints: you will need a computer, DVD player, or an Amazon fire stick to work the projector (HDMI connection) with wifi capability and take a Bluetooth speaker to enhance your experience. Great yard if you have dogs, but don't forget flea/tick protection to keep them safe. Kristen was excellent with communication! I would recommend this cabin in the future.

    We just got back home from an amazing stay at this property! We absolutely loved the location. Close to the local Walmart and Luray Caverns! We wanted a low key getaway for Christmas this year and this property was AMAZING! I brought a small Christmas tree for Christmas, but was so pleasantly surprised that a Christmas tree was already there! This place lived up to my expectations and more. The hot tub was amazing! We played endless amounts of the board games that were provided which our family loved! So many great memories made. The bedrooms were cozy and the bathroom was very clean. The host was so accommodating and very fast with responses to questions. We made great use of the fire pit that already had wood that was provided. I can’t say enough great things about the property. We really enjoyed our stay and will stay again!

    This place is exactly as described. Extremely clean and put together. I felt like I was walking into a home! The location is great, as it's close to Luray, and all that Shenandoah has to offer. When we first arrived we were having issues with our door code. I message Kristen and she immediately responded. We had to troubleshoot some things but she was able to quickly get us into the house. I was worried we would be sleeping in the truck. But her attentiveness and quickness to response was amazing. I'd definitely recommend a stay here.
