    It was overall a good stay. The property could use a good deep clean-Dust bunnies under the beds, walls were dirty, and 2 of the 3 beds had questionable spots on the sheets which made us concerned if they were actually laundered. The house was cute and perfect for what we were needing. Host was responsive to messages.

    Check in process and communication was smooth. HOWEVER, big issues with cleanliness and house flies. There were at least 13-14 house flies inside the first night that we got rid of. Secondly everything was dirty and covered with dust and white hair. Stains on couch and chairs. The bed sheets were similarly covered in dust and white hair. Towels had stains. We actually washed the towels before using them. After I reported it the owners/managers said they would have the linens changed. When we returned after the day out all the linens were exactly as we had left them. The ironing Stains was crooked and unsteady. This was our first and likely last booking with vrbo. The owners were responsive which I appreciate but unfortunately failed to deliver on basic cleanliness.

    We enjoyed the location as we were mainly visiting Shenandoah National Park and it was an easy drive to one of the entrances, at Thornton's Gap. That being said, there were also things to visit and do in Luray like the Luray Caverns- a must see. The cottage was clean and well suited for our needs as we cooked dinner meals a few nights during our stay. Having the fire pit and outdoor area for the evening was a bonus. The hosts communicated quickly.

    Host was absolutely amazing! I asked for some suggestions regarding hiking and got a quick response with an amazing list of hikes , this near the property, and restaurants. Then I was confused about check out (my fault not their’s) and got another immediate response with super clear instructions. The property was great, the distance to restaurants and coffee were a bit off but nothing that was problematic. Highly recommended!

    The home was perfect for our quick family getaway. It was just as pictured, very clean, and had everything we needed. I think our favorite part of the whole trip was hanging out in the backyard on our last night - the big maple tree provided so much shade in the hot afternoon and the string lights were a nice touch while we made s'mores in the firepit at night. There's a great paved and divided pedestrian trail across the street that was perfect for taking the dog out for a walk in the morning and would be great for little ones too. Also, the hosts were excellent communicators. We would absolutely stay there again!

    My family of four loved staying at Cottage by the Caverns. My sons could each have their own room, and all of our beds were comfortable. I cooked one meal there, and the kitchen had everything I needed. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the mornings with our coffee while watching the birds.The house was easy to find, and it was close to Luray Caverns and the different restaurants we went to. I would recommend this place to others.

    Mom and I went on a short overnight trip to Luray and this house was perfect! It was clean and the beds were comfortable. When we got there the electronic door lock wouldn’t let us in. Sent Stephanie a message and she responded within 10 minutes and reset it! Would definitely recommend due to the house being outside of town to avoid any noise but still close enough to get to town and the caverns.

    This is close to the thornton gap entrance. With the shades open, it's a very sunny house. The house is right in the town of Luray, so you're close to your neighbors, but they're quiet. If possible, the owners should put a curtain in front of the front glass door.

    We had an amazing stay at this very well decorated 3-bdrm house. The home was as advertised and was everything we needed for a relaxing stay. My family and I rented this property to experience the winter holiday away from our home. We wanted to enjoy something different, something cozy enough that will allow us to focus on family, and that's exactly what this cottage did for us.The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, plates, bowls, cups, and mugs we needed. Plus, there were a few pots and pans we used to cook nightly dinners through the week.The bedrooms were comfortable with memory foam mattresses, and each room had its own charm. The first two bedrooms share a full hallway bathroom, while the master suite has it's own full bathroom. In the master bathroom is a washer/dryer combo for your use. **Notes: The only way to the backyard is through the master bedroom. Heating is uneven throughout the house. It's warmer in the master bedroom than the rest of the home.**The location is choice as it’s just a short drive to Luray Caverns, Skyline Drive, and the adventurous, winding VA State Route 211. We really enjoyed the peaceful outdoor space with the fire pit, eating chili around the fire.The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing us with all the info we needed and even recommending local spots to check out. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to explore the Shenandoah Valley or just enjoy a peaceful retreat.

    We had a lovely stay in Tyler's home. It was perfect for my husband and I and our two adult children. It was conveniently located to Luray Caverns and Shenandoah Park, as well as grocery stores and restaurants. I especially liked the updated finishes, large kitchen, washer and dryer and the fenced back yard with fire pit and charcoal grill. Tyler was very quick to respond to any questions I had. I would definitely stay again. Minor gripe would be the back bedroom lacked any storage for clothing and had a tiny bedside table. Also a couple more bath towels would've been great!

    This was the perfect size for our family and grandparents for a weekend stay. The house looks like it does in the photos, it was very clean. The location was right near the caverns and Jellystone which was exactly what we needed! Also a great playground nearby with a beautiful view of the mountains. Tyler was easy to connect with. We had a snafu with check-in/the smart lock didn't like us but he was on it. It really was a great location for a young family. The only thing I would share is that there are a few stairs leading up to the house from the gravel driveway (pictured, so I knew about it before booking) There are none inside which is great. Just in case you or someone you love cannot use steps or has difficulty. It was a bit challenging for my older parents because they have mobility issues. Overall, it was a lovely weekend celebrating our son's birthday and Tyler was a very responsive host.
