The Space
Communal living is easy with an open plan kitchen, living and dining room - the whole gang can be together playing board games, cooking dinner, or curled up by the gas fireplace reading a book. The kitchen is stocked with all you'll need to start with for your trip - coffee, tea, sugar, creamer, basic spices, olive oil, and consumables like trash bags and paper towels. The new quartz countertops make clean up a breeze, and we have a sonos speaker so you can dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light or listen to NPR while having your morning coffee. We have a Keurig machine that brews both single cups and pots of coffee, whatever your preference, as well as a new microwave and toaster. We have pots and pans, baking trays, and a slow cooker, so you can prep dinner in the morning and come home to it ready to eat!
The dining area seats six, and has a high chair for any miniature guests.
The living room is very cosy with a gas fireplace, an oversupply of blankets, a pull out queen sleeper sofa, a large armchair, and a Roku TV mounted above the fireplace. Please note that we do not have cable, and it's bring your own password for the streaming services. We love board games and have provided some of our favorites: Catan, Clue, Sorry, Chess, Jenga, Scrabble, Monopoly, Phase 10, Uno, and of course a basic deck of playing cards. Our large dining room table or coffee table will accommodate any game nights comfortably.
Both bedrooms have memory foam queen beds, mounted Roku TVs, armchairs and closets. There is a pack and play in one of the closets in the main bedroom as well. The bathroom has been recently remodelled with new fixtures, chosen for guest comfort.
The outdoor space has a fire pit area, where you can tell ghost stories while cooking s'mores and gazing up at the magnificent view of the stars. There is a hot tub where you can unwind after a day of hiking, and a grill for cookouts. We have a screened in porch where you can have dinner or sip on wine while listening to the evening sounds of the surrounding forest, or wake up with a cup of coffee while watching the day begin.
Luray
There is so much to do in Luray, it's an incredible place to escape to. River activities like boating, kayaking, canoeing or (my favorite) tubing are all available. There is a nearby lake with a beach for swimming, and the Luray Caverns are the most famous caverns for a reason - they are completely stunning!
Shenandoah National Park is gorgeous, and the Thornton Gap entrance from Luray is considered the start of the best stretch of the park. There are countless hikes for people of all skill and fitness levels, as well as breathtaking views along Skyline Drive.
Massanutten Resort offers skiing, snowboarding, tubing, a waterpark (indoor open year round and outdoor during the summer) and a golf course.
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!
We accept dogs on a case by case basis - please reach out if you'd like to bring a pet!
There are Ring doorbell cameras at both the front and back doors of the cabin.
