Very peaceful place only 2.5 miles from Luray. Everything you need to cook a meal, a very comfortable bed, and a great view. I will most likely stay here again when I travel this way in the future.

I loved my stay! The cottage was clean and cozy, and being able to use the hot tub was amazing. Ed and Betsy and all the animals were welcoming. The cottage was especially beautiful during sunrise. A very peaceful environment to stay in.

Cozy cottage with amazing views

I've stayed in a lot of VRBO/AirBNB properties but Betsy really makes the Cottage feel like home. Great 180-degree views. Excellent location for hiking, sight-seeing, or just staying in.

Amazing Weekend Getaway

Ed and Betsy went above and beyond for our stay. Incredible cookies were waiting for us on arrival and we had 6 farm fresh eggs in the fridge that we ate before a hike to Old Rag. If you’re looking for a unique and serene place with proximity to the Luray Caverns and Shenandoah, you have found it here!

Hidden Treasure

My husband and I stayed at the Cottage at Raven’s Roost for the weekend and absolutely loved it! Ed and Betsy are wonderful people and the best hosts! We so enjoyed the country side and exploring the town and surrounding area. We hope to visit again soon!

Just perfect

We were in town to visit with our son and do some sight seeing. We loved the cottage. It was the perfect size for us and even had a small kitchen available. We only cooked breakfast a few times, with the farm fresh eggs that were given to us along with a small loaf of blueberry bread. After hiking in the Shenandoah park, the hot tub and fire pit were a welcome relief! We will definitely keep the Ravens Roost on our list for a revisit!

Warm and cozy

This is small cottage but you leave with warm and cozy experience. We truly enjoyed Betsy and Ed's hospitality. I found out they also run it as bread and breakfast. So we asked for breakfast and they provided breakfast for little extra money. I would have paid twice that. These are great people with good old values. The views are beautiful, mountains, stars, horses. We are definitely coming back.

Relaxing stay

Loved seeing it was professionally cleaned prior to our visit. Cute, clean, comfy, and reliable central air. Hot tub was lovely, and had shelter above it which was great since it was raining. The tin roof on the cottage was cool to hear during the rainstorm. Friendly animals too!

A special kind of wonderful

The Cottage at Ravens Roost was a wonderful venue for us to rest as we explored the Shenandoah Valley. The dogs on the property were so friendly and adorable! We loved watching the horses in the mornings. Not to mention the farm fresh eggs and the raspberry lemon bread that we were surprised with when we arrived! Excellent hosts, excellent stay. Thank you both!!!

Comfortable Cottage

After seeing the 10 out of 10 reviews we were a bit skeptical, as some things aren’t always as good as they seem! Well spoiler alert, it was in fact a 10 out of 10! We typically never go to places where the host are on property or you even meet them so we weren’t sure what to expect. Felt more like family we never met than random strangers. Although we only stayed a couple nights they were extremely nice and hospitable. The little cottage was absolutely adorable, beautifully decorated, and simply put, very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Slice of heaven

The little blue cottage is so cute sitting alongside the big red brick house. We were in the area to participate in an event. We found this location to be perfectly situated near the event as well as to Shenandoah National Park. The host/hostess made us feel like they really enjoy having guests. We need to come back for the Caverns and fall leaves.

Rustic Charm

Convenient location, beautiful panoramic view of mountains in background and horse pasture. Instructions for finding property and parking were clear. Loved the blackberry/rasberry bread and fresh eggs. This is a farm so in accord with title there will be a few pests to deal with, a fly or two, some gnats and a few cobwebs above. This is a pet friendly property, non dog owners will notice the dog smell throughout. I just kept spraying air freshener. I could smell dampness from cellar upon first time entering, then I didnt smell it. The bathtub was a bit difficult to climb out of (grab bar would be nice) and toilet room was tight quarters but nicely decorated bathroom overall. Towels were soft and thick. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed, just a bit tight on counter space. Check dates on staples/hot cocoa. Fridge needs new door seal.There was an eating area I was not aware of originally but was nice to find upon arrival. Owners were nice to chat with. I would come back.
