Peaceful and quiet. They have everything you need to feel right at home. We prefer to disconnect from our fast paced lives while we are there, but there is wifi if you need it. We love that we can bring our pup with us. The views are spectacular. We love having a campfire each night, and we have spent many hours in those hot tubs! The owner is fantastic. He's professional, helpful and very responsive.

All are nice and have river access. We stayed in the Sundance cabin - a one bedroom - right on the Shenandoah River. 9 acres. What a view! Hot tub on the COVERED deck overlooking the view of the valley. sitting in the tops pf the trees and you can watch the hawk hunt. fire pit down on the river with chairs for comfort. 2 big meadows where deer wander in the mornings. paths along the river. gas fireplace. great kitchen. wsher and dryer. fantastic bathroom and shower. new flat screen TV. wifi. brought our laptop and hdmi and watched movies at night and when it rained. clean clean clean. Very private. a fantastic get away and only 1 hour and 20 minutes from DC. Highly recommended. 15 minutes from Front Royal and 10 minutes from Luray. I nearly kept one star because the grill is fixed on the wrong side of the cabin - a gas grill on that deck really would have made it perfect. But, we really had a great time and were incredibly pleased. Bring your food and booze, grab a cocktail and get in that hot tub and watch the sunset.

Shadow Mountain Escape is a hidden Gem, as is Karen Riddle. Every detail, from the moment we…read morearrived, until the moment we left, was absolutely perfect. There are certain people that find their calling in life, and believe me, Karen has found hers providing a beautiful one stop destination/ultimate private elopement venue along with handling every aspect of our wedding (flowers, wedding cake, vows, officiant, venue, and beautiful photos). We were blown away and are so happy we chose Shadow Mountain Escape, and Karen Riddle for our special day!! We will be back.

SME is the kind of place that's so special, you want to keep it all to yourself, but can't help but…read moretell everyone you know about it! It is the coziest little getaway in Luray situated on an absolutely beautiful property. There are five cabins in total that are intended to be a couple's getaway, so the property is always very quiet and peaceful. It feels very connected to nature- we've seen deer very close to each of the structures when we've stayed. We've had the pleasure of staying in the Dragonfly, Bumblebee, and Ladybug cabins and have really enjoyed each one- they all have a similar feel but are built slightly differently. This time around, we were in the Bumblebee cabin, which is quite spacious and shares a structure with the Dragonfly cabin. There was a gas fireplace and a TV downstairs where we spent most of our time reading; there was also a couch upstairs in the hallway outside of the bedroom, and a cute balcony we probably would have spent time on if it was warmer! It is absolutely the kind of place where you can just stay in your cabin the entire time you're there, but it's also located pretty close to Sperryville and downtown Luray if you're looking to venture out. To fully take advantage of SME, I'd recommend bringing your own food or groceries to cook- there's not a whole lot close by (which is part of the charm!), but the kitchen is well-equipped with a microwave, oven, and stovetop. There's a pizza place that delivers right to the cabins, which is nice- honestly, the pizza isn't very good, but it's nice to have the option. There are also bottles of wine available for purchase in your cabin, which is nice to have available. You won't meet two nicer people than the owners of SME, Karen and Ralph. It is so clear how much they love SME and sharing their love of the property, which reflects their travels through Europe, with those who stay there. There will always be a delicious baked treat from Karen waiting in your cabin when you arrive, and if you're lucky, she or Ralph will show you around the property and tell you about the structures, all of which were built by Ralph and designed by them both. They are so friendly and kindhearted and make it such a special place to stay. As just one example- it snowed one of the nights we stayed, and Ralph cleared off our car without us even asking. SME feels so calm and peaceful- it's a true VA oasis. We're already planning our next trip back!

The Huffman Cabin is a beautiful log cabin in the middle of nowhere in Luray, VA, right at the edge…read moreof Shenandoah. It's got two bedrooms, each with a full sized bed, a full kitchen, and living room with a fireplace and rocking chairs. A babbling brook and stream with a waterwheel are right outside and a deer filled forest boarders the cabin for 21 acres. We paid about $314 for two weekend nights, payable by cash or check only. Driving there at night, it can be hard to find. This really is a remote location, accessible by dirt road, in a very rural community. Since there were no Yelp or other online reviews whatsoever, just a shady looking website with a phone number, we thought maybe we were driving to our doom, but it turned out not to be the case. Once we finally arrived, it was lovely and exactly what I was looking for to escape the stress and insanity of DC. If you're looking to visit Shenandoah or Luray Caverns, there are closer, more centrally located cabins for the same price or less, but if you're just looking to just get away from it all, like REALLY get away from it all, this is a great location. It was the only location not filled up after calling dozens of other cabins in Luray, which were all booked due to it being National Park Week and Spring Break. The couple that runs the cabin are so nice and accommodating. We arrived to see a welcome letter, some local fresh eggs from a nearby farm, and some delicious local honey made by the granddaughter of couple. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and sugar, flour, etc. The furniture is hand made and there are doilies and linens knit and sewn by couple that own the cabin. There's no WiFi but we did get cell reception (we have Sprint), and there is a TV with cable and a surprisingly decent selection of movies on VHS. For locally roasted coffee, it's worth the 8 mile drive to Central Coffee Roasters, and for dinner, try Hawkbill Diner for a very Twin Peaks experience. I debated whether to write this review because I suspect that once the word is out about this place, we'll never get a reservation again, but the couple deserve your business. Best weekend break of 2014 for us!

My friend made the reservations so I had no interaction with the owners of the cabin. But as soon as I walked in I could tell they are probably the nicest people. We were greeting with hand written message along with a jar of home grown honey from their granddaughters honey bees. I am one that searches for and reads the reviews for any and everything. Upon learning I would be spending the weekend here I did just that. After finding only 1 review prior to mine I was a bit nervous. But as soon as I walked in the front door all that went away. I can honestly say at the end of the weekend I did not want to leave! We were here in January and are looking forward to coming back in the spring. This home is a step back in time. The furnishing and amenities are outdated but that only added to the charm of this place. At first I thought, "whoa". But after a few minutes memories of my childhood started to flood in and I quickly appreciated what I was seeing. We will most definitely be back!

Deer Forest Lodge with Lion Crow Cabins was available. Even without any Yelp reviews we booked it because we had limited options and it was close to SRO. This is the nicest cabin we have ever stayed in!! It was clean and had literally almost everything you would need for an extended stay (except toiletries, which you should bring). We were able to grill, roast marshmallows, play cornhole, board games, and watch TV to relax after a long day on the river. Bernie, the site manager was amazing!! Based on the guest book, this particular cabin opened April of 2016. I debated whether to be the first to write a review or to keep this as our little secret, but I think that they deserve the business because it is clear that Lion Crow Cabins is working hard to make a stay in the Shenandoah a great experience! Thanks, Bernie!

We stayed at Misty River and are already talking about coming back next year for a two week vacation on the river. The cabins are rustic but we'll appointed. Older cabins with nice furnishings, a big screen HD TV, hot tub, full kitchen with all the essentials and all the sky, trees and River you could hope for. We had all kinds of plans to run all over the valley doing touristy stuff but spent nearly all it time at the cabin We spent every night near the water with a fire in the fire pit and every day playing in the water and fishing. The sound of the rapids to the north of the cabin help you drift off to sleep at night while the fireflies twinkle outside of your window. We fell in love with Misty River and plan to visit other Country Place cabins in the future.

I contracted with Blue Ridge Getaways for a Cabin rental over Spring Break this year. The cabin I…read morestayed in was called Nature's Peak (http://www.blueridgegetaway.com/nature's_peak.htm). While the cabin itself was nice enough, neat and clean and the view was great, there were a lot of problems. 1. The rental agent made a mistake and charged me for 4 nights while I only was allowed to stay three. I would have been okay with this, but it was their error and they refused a refund. 2. The cabin is located on a very steep muddy hill, if your car doesn't have four wheel drive, forget about getting there. You have to leave your car at the bottom of the hill and then use their old jeep to get up. Necessitating a tedious transfer of articles arriving and departing 3. The kitchen is a joke, hardly any cookware, not even a kitchen towel or drying rack. Forget about cooking there and the nearest restaurant is quite a drive 4. There are way too many stink bugs in this cabin for my comfort. Lovely area though, I'd certainly return but never to this cabin or with this rental agency.
