The price was very competitive to other B&Bs in the area, but I doubt any of them can beat our experience! I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will absolutely be back!!!

It was his birthday and I called the owners to inquire about their add packages including the birthday one. Well they went above and beyond. The room as you can see in the photos was sweetly decorated, my boyfriend loved it! The room itself is great. We had a queen bed, a jacuzzi tub, electric fireplace and a balcony! A couple blocks from the Inn is a very scenic creek walkway. We did a few laps to soak up the beautiful weather we had over the weekend. If you are in the area definitely stay at the Inn!

They had a common living room for the guests to relax in which had books and board games. There was also an area for 24/7 water, coffee, and tea, and in the afternoon, a baked treat was available. We saw chocolate chip cookies and apple cider donuts. Bonus: There was a mini fridge with seltzer water. Second, we booked the Naturalist for the weekend and it was a wonderful room. The sheets were so soft and comforting. The bathroom was a bit small but had modern fixtures. I don't know what the shower head was, but it was super nice LOL. I could've stood in there forever. Their shampoo, conditioner, and body wash smelled lovely as well. They provide a little lotion tube. So, I'd recommend bringing your own. Third, the breakfast was amazing. Shannon and Joe did a wonderful job making the dining experience wonderful. I really loved Shannon's french toast. Joe was also very attentive to the guests. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience. I would love to visit again someday. The location is also quite convenient. You are walking distance away from many cafes, stores, and restaurants. It was definitely a wonderful weekend to recharge. Highly recommend and grateful that we could spend our anniversary here

## Piney Hill Bed and Breakfast: A Perfect Shenandoah Valley Getaway (5 stars)…read more **A Dreamy Escape with Spectacular Views and Unforgettable Hospitality** My recent stay at Piney Hill Bed and Breakfast was an absolute delight. Nestled amidst rolling hills just outside of Luray, the location offered stunning panoramic views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Finding the B&B was a breeze, and upon arrival, I was immediately charmed by the property's historic character, perfectly complemented by modern amenities. **Comfort and Convenience** The room itself was a haven of comfort. The bed was incredibly inviting, and the ensuite bathroom provided everything I needed. Piney Hill truly goes the extra mile with thoughtful touches - from having spare toiletries on hand (lifesaver alert for that forgotten floss!) to individual climate control - ensuring a perfectly relaxing stay. **The Heart of Piney Hill: Hank, Wiley, and Bob** However, the heart and soul of Piney Hill lie with the wonderful innkeepers, Hank and Wiley. Their warm hospitality and engaging conversation made each breakfast a highlight. Their stories and kindness were truly heartwarming, and I found myself looking forward to these morning chats just as much as exploring the Shenandoah National Park nearby. **Breakfast Fit for Royalty** Speaking of breakfast, it was without a doubt the best food I had on my entire trip. From the melt-in-your-mouth sticky buns to the heavenly French toast and the savory sage-egg-sausage bake, each morning was a culinary delight. **A Must-Stay for Shenandoah Valley Travelers** Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a base to explore the national park, or simply a place to unwind amidst breathtaking scenery, Piney Hill Bed and Breakfast is the perfect choice. I can't recommend them enough! In fact, if you're staying nearby and can't swing a stay, I highly recommend checking out their take-out bakery. **A Fond Farewell (and a Scratch for Bob!)** Thank you, Hank and Wiley, for making my stay so special. And please give Bob the dog an extra scratch on the head for me! I can't wait to return to the Shenandoah Valley and Piney Hill in the future.

I came from the Washington-DC area, and it was quite easy to get to the B&B (using GPS, of course!) Hugh, the innkeeper, was there to receive me with a complete tour of the place, which was beautiful, comfortable and spotless! The gardens and outdoor areas were just as delightful. My room, Hawksbill, was a corner unit with windows on two sides, painted in a soothing light blue and a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The room was comfortable, clean with a bed that knocked me unconscious until the next morning. I was also able to meet the owners of the Mayneview B&B, Bryce and Greg, who were very welcoming and kind. Hugh also made sure that I had everything I needed, and made himself available in case I had questions. In the evening, and after dinner in town, I even met some of the other guests at the Mayneview B&B, who coincidentally all came from the New York area. We all sat by the crackling fire pit and got to share our stories. In the morning, I was served a delicious breakfast of asparagus soufflé, with a side of sausage and a watermelon salad. The coffee was fresh, black and strong, just like I like it!

I had no idea what to expect when I set out late on a Friday evening from Washington, DC to Luray,…read moreVA. My biggest question was where was Luray, VA. As it turned out, Luray is located in Northern Virginia, about 80 miles South of DC in a quaint little town nestled in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. Arriving around 10pm, I didn't know how beautiful until the next morning when I woke up to the most awesome sunrise and gentle mountain ranges. The "Inn" is actually one of several huge homes or "villa's" on the top of a hill on 5 acres of beautifully manicured land, something else I discovered the next morning. Upon arriving, I drove up the hill to Villa #1 and was greeted warmly by the owner Darryl Haley, a 6'6, 325-pound gentle giant of a man. As it turns out Haley is a former New England Patriots Offensive Lineman, Ironman Triathlete, and Corporate Fitness Trainer, with a B.S. degree in Human Kinetics from the University of Utah, a degree in Computer Science from George Washington University, I was given a tour of the 5-bedroom villa each with its own bathroom and jacuzzi tub, and settled in a room on the corner with an Eastern view towards the mountains and we agreed that breakfast would be served the next morning at 10AM.. Fortunately for me, I was the only guest in the entire villa so I was able to wake up to a wonderful sunrise, go back to sleep, shower, watch television, roam around the spacious home at my leisure and enjoy the views all before 10AM. At around 9:30am I received a call from Darryl inviting me to come up to the main house for breakfast that included eggs, turkey bacon, orange juice, cinnamon pancakes topped with strawberries and walnuts, and a delicious spicy hashbrown invention called a "Darryl." Normally after eating that much food I'd want to go back to sleep, but I felt energized and ready to go. I spent the next hour talking to Darryl about his career as an athlete in the NFL, and how much he loves cooking, hosting guests, and how it all fits into the theme of The Darryl Haley Bed and Breakfast, "where romance, fun and fitness are the main activities." After he cleaned up the kitchen, I was given a tour of the the main house, the grounds, a cottage tucked away at the bottom of a hill, and the gazebo which overlooks a dairy farm and has mountain views in every direction. We eventually ended up in a spacious garage that had been converted into a fitness and recreation center where I was coaxed into a friendly game of ping pong which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was then given a tour of the city which has plenty of bike and jogging trails, a lake for fishing or canoeing, as well as parks, hiking trails, antique shops, restaurants and wineries. The people are warm and friendly, and the area has become a magnet for artists, writers, and others looking for a retreat from the pace of big city life. In one area of the town there is a sobering reminder of its confederate past and an acknowledge how far this city of 5,000 has come. Whether its a personal or romantic getaway, a family, women's, men's or group retreat, this is a relaxing place to come to and you'll feel at home. The accommodations include unlimited access to cozy areas for conversation, relaxing or reading and comfortable and casual lounge areas to socialize and unwind. The beautiful and manicured grounds are ideal for outdoor events or simple sanctuary. The immediate area offers vineyards tours, wine tasting, hiking, cycling, kayaking as well as many other outdoor activities and antique shopping.

Clean enough for park lodges, firm beds and decent quality bedding. This time we stayed in a premium room with two doubles in the pinnacle building right next to the office and the restaurant so very convenient for breakfast. It's west facing so you get the sunset. Room's a good size with a closet/luggage area outside the bathroom, wood flooring, fridge, a small table with two chairs, and there are also two patio chairs outside the door (upper floor has better view on the balcony - ground floor has a grassy lawn area in front). Aircon doesn't seem to be working but room feels pretty cool with the ceiling fan on. WiFi is pretty much nonexistent - it only seems to work in the office where there is a seating area or maybe the dining room. This time also tried the closest trail - Stony Man - a short walk from the lodge. Not sure why it took us so many visit to hike on this trail - it's a short walk (just an easy 1.6 mile circuit) to the summit with fantastic view of the valley and enough space on the rock outcropping to sit on to enjoy the view.

A line of large black ants from the door into the bathroom threshold, spider webs and spiders behind the bathroom door, cricket and millipedes in bathroom, bars attached to tile in bathroom loose with visible mold behind them. Threadbare sheets with pilling in wear areas. Visible spaces beneath both doors allowing access to bugs. White dog fur all over mat outside of rear door with trash on patio area. Ceiling fan inoperable. Housekeeping entered, removed trash and did nothing else. Body wash was empty and not refilled or replaced in 3 night stay. Restaurant has beautiful views and great service. Breakfast was great, Dinner was inedible. Gift shop is well stocked and service there is great also. This site has so much potential, unfortunately the accommodations are poorly managed and poorly maintained. Would not recommend staying there. Visiting the restaurant for breakfast and/or the views is worthwhile. Contacted the managment with no response.
