Spacious Home Downtown - Walk to Parks & Shops

Namesake of original owner Lena Bohannon, this home mixes vintage charm & modern comforts like fast internet & AC. Across from the visitor center in the heart of Luray, walk to coffee, breweries, thrift shops, & the famous Hawksbill Greenway. Space for 12 - invite family, friends, & pups too! Experience a historic home in a historic town, with everything you need to bring work with you & everything you need to leave it all behind. Host dinners, bachelor/bachelorette events, etc.

This spacious 1932 Craftsman home has plenty of room to gather friends and family, or simply getaway with someone special who appreciates historic homes.
Some unique features include raked mortar style masonry, the massive front porch for lounging, original glass front door, a butler's staircase, vintage Nutone doorbell, and wide trim throughout.

The living room and dining room are connected with beautiful French doors, creating one space for easy communing. Small gatherings are allowed; however, please keep in mind we comfortably accommodate 12 people overnight. Please let us know if you plan to host a small gathering.
We can easily accommodate 4 vehicles on site, and there is free parking nearby, including a spot with an EV charger at the visitor center.

Make music and memories during your stay. We have an extensive vinyl record collection that is almost 100% sourced from local small businesses. On the wall, you can find a guitar for strumming along to the classics, courtesy of Praise Guitars, located a 2 min walk from our front door. Like our vinyls, nearly all of our art and books came from small shops in Luray. Say hello to Jim if you stop by the local bookstore, and let him know Lindsey sent you!

Our board games are not locally sourced, but they are classic and quite lovely on our bookcase. There is ample room around the coffee table or in the dining table for a contentious game of Monopoly, Sorry!, Scrabble, etc.

Work from our home during the day and explore Shenandoah Valley on evenings and weekends. We have desks in each of the 3 rooms with king size beds. All 3 Roku TVs are easy to use for casting your laptop, so they can be used as a second monitor. Our internet service provider is Xfinity, providing fast reliable internet for all your important and not-so important zoom calls.

For sleeping, we offer 4 bedrooms. The downstairs bedroom has a twin daybed that converts into a king mattress - you can configure this room whichever way bests suits you and your guests. The first upstairs bedroom has a more firm memory foam bed. The second upstairs bedroom has a soft but supportive hybrid mattress. The third bedroom has two twin-over-full bunk beds, all outfitted with Purple brand mattresses, so they are comfortable for kids and adults alike.

There are two full bathrooms and one half bathroom - one full and one half bathroom downstairs, and one full bathroom upstairs. We keep a few handy items in the upstairs bathroom in case you forgot them at home. We have earplugs available in this closet for light sleepers - we are in town so there are noises that come with that. Note: the upstairs shower takes a minute or two to heat up. If you are in a rush, use the downstairs shower.

Dogs are welcome! We ask that you let us know a little bit about your pet guests when booking. If you selected a pet when your booking reservation you have already covered your pet fees. If you only added people to your reservation and need to add a pet to your reservation, please let us know, it's easy!

We are located in town, and with that come town noises. We provide a white noise machine in each bedroom, and ear plugs are available in our upstairs full bath. The in-town element is great during the winter - our home is on the alternate emergency route for the local hospital, so it is always cleared of snow very quickly!

You will have private access to the entire home, with 2 exceptions. The basement is used for storage only, as well as an unfinished bonus room upstairs. We have the doors to both of these spaces locked.

I am very responsive to messages and texts.

We are right across the street from Luray's visitor center and train museum. That is a great first stop in the area. Their staff is friendly and they have pamphlets for just about every local activity you can think of.

Our exit driveway is an easement managed by the town. Take it slow going out - it can be a little rough on lower vehicles if you are not careful.

We are located in town, and with that come town noises. Street traffic, train traffic, and the town's emergency siren are all things to be aware of. We provide a white noise machine in each bedroom, and ear plugs are available in our upstairs full bath.
