Great home base for hiking

We wanted a simple place to stay close to hiking, fishing and quiet. This was all of those. We were able to do a number of hikes as skyline drive and still come back for a hot tub and quiet evening. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well appointed. Exactly what we expected and wanted. Will stay again if we are back in the area

Just hung around and relaxed

The house was charming inside and out. Our dogs enjoyed having lots of places to run. We made a quick trip for groceries the day we arrived and then a trip into Luray and stopped for some ice cream (delicious). The house was spacious with lots of room to just 'be'.

Weekend getaway

We had an extremely relaxing stay. The area is gorgeous…loved being close to the water. We brought our dog and it was great to let him run and play and just be a dog. Did have a few issues with a few appliances, but the host was super quick to bring a new remote and coffee pot. All in all we would stay again!

A True Getaway

If you are looking to step back in time / this is your place. A 1900s farm house located an easy walk to the River.The house has a huge kitchen, living spaces and 2 bedrooms. We stayed in the room facing the mountains a perfect view!Our pup Skye the world was his oyster, running, rolling, wading and loving life! The fire pit near the river was unprotected on a windy day so we used the one next to the house. A lovely end to the day. The WiFi, and TV were sort of spotty, so just relax and enjoy nature.

Rustic old house for a quiet get away with a great location

Overall, we had a great stay and would go back! The location is very quiet. It was great with our 2 dogs, as they had space to move inside and out. We went out hiking every morning and this was a great middle of the Skyline Drive location to go to any of the trails. But also all of the other sights and to different towns for restaurants. There is also a grocery store and a Walmart close by in Luray.You can't really see the river from the house in the summer, but the mountain view was gorgeous. And it's pretty to walk the trail down to the river. We saw deer every morning and evening in the fields as well (and twice right outside the door to the grill).Some things to note (and maybe I missed on the description):The rock driveway (which was noted) is long and narrow. The last half has a lump in the middle, and our van was dragging rocks with it, even at 5mph. We did try to ride the edge from then on, but there isn't much of an edge. It was better once there was less weight in the van. If you have a low riding vehicle this may not be the place for you, unless the the lump is fixed.The split units did a pretty good job of cooling the house, during a heatwave. They ask you to keep the temp at 75, which was OK for us. There are no units in the bedroom, so we had to use fans which were provided and keep the door open to blow the air in.The spot down by the river is not private. I assume it was people from the other houses on the driveway that came down to use it.

We had a very peaceful getaway! The proximity to the park is perfect if you’re looking to go for some hikes. Otherwise, you’re right on the river with some great fishing. We had such a wonderful time.
