About this property

Summary:
Ellery Cottage is a modern, newly-renovated cottage nestled in the mountains, steps from the Shenandoah River and downtown Luray.

The highlights:
- Relax in the outdoor hot tub!
- Grill on the deck out back
- Swim or tube in the river (just a 5 min walk from the cottage)
- Cook s’mores and hang out around the fire pit
- Stream movies or take video calls on super fast WiFi
- Drive 10 mins to the famous Luray Caverns, or Luray for restaurants, shopping, and festivals

Enjoy!

The Space:
Our family-friendly cottage is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or groups of friends.

The cottage includes:
- Outdoor hot tub perfect for relaxing
- 3 bedrooms: one bedroom with a queen bed, and two bedrooms with a queen/twin bunk bed – plus a pull out sofa in the living room (don’t worry, it’s comfortable!)
- Fully-stocked kitchen with stove/oven, microwave, and dishwasher
- Smart TV where you can quickly sign-in to your favorite streaming service
- Fast WiFi (50+ Mbps) that's more than enough to stream movies and hold video calls – perfect for working remotely
- Central AC and heat to keep you comfortable
- Washer and dryer

Outside, you’ll also find:
- Outside fire pit with seating for the whole gang
- Huge backyard, outdoor yard games, deck, and grill
- An outdoor yard game treasure box full of activities for kids and adults: corn hole, volleyball, soccer and kick balls, horseshoes, and many more!

We often take our three little kids and dog to the cottage with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).

The property is also all on one level, so no concerns with stairs.

Beyond the cottage itself, we love how close we are to downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns – both just a 10 minute drive away. Beyond the caves (which we recommend you definitely check out), the town has fantastic breweries, restaurants, and shops for you to enjoy!

Great location and Cozy

It was a great location and had a good amount of space. The bunk beds were queen AND a double on top, so bigger than anticipated. Heating was great and location was beautiful.Challenges: The TV wouldn't let us log in to our netflix, amazon or hulu accounts so we were limited, and the parental controls on the wifi seemed to be on as well.The hot tub was warm, but we were unable to get the display on and use it effectively, which was hard because it was a main reason for selecting the property. We followed the video instructions and communicated, but there was a snowstorm starting a day later, and no one was able to come before we checked out. A great place, just need to ensure the hot tub is working properly if that matters to you.

Nice Stay

We appreciate the nice stay. It is a solid and well equipped cabin that slept our family very comfortably. Hit all the basics, and the owner/management team was generally responsive and friendly. We missed a little of the scenic magic of some of the other local properties we have visited, but that shouldn't diminish anyone's view on the quality of the cabin or experience.

Great Stay!

This cabin fit exactly what we needed. It was in a central location to all of our weekend activities, and the cabin had plenty of space for everyone (8 adults). While it was in a quiet area, some of the neighbors dogs definitely don't know what quiet time is. And since we went in the winter, the trees separating the backyard from the neighbors back yard were bare. Meaning we could see directly into their house and they could definitely see us. Overall a great weekend!

The cottage was clean and comfortable. We rented it for a quick family trip and it was perfect. The host was accommodating however be mindful that check out is at 10 am unlike other locations which give you until 11 am. The river access mentioned is a quarter mile away about 12 minute walk or two minute drive. The water is stagnant and has a odor.

Nice comfortable house

This house met our needs and was a good location to do things in Luray and at Shenandoah National Park. The house was very clean, but the yard needed mowed when we arrived, there was garbage left in the yard. Our dog enjoyed the yard, but we were surprised to see barbed wire around the perimeter fence. We needed to watch him closely because of this. Online communication was good. We enjoyed the games, hot tub, and spacious layout of the house.

Cute getaway

The location was nice and quiet. It was fairly secluded, and the backyard was closed off with bushes. The cabin was clean; however, we found crumbs in one of the bunk beds and a few stains on the linens. One of the rooms had a window that wouldn't lock, but we were able to get it unstuck. The hot tub was warm, but it did not feel as clean as others we have tried. There were a lot of pots and pans and cooking utensils available.

Updated cottage, perfect for visiting Luray sights

The cottage is pretty new, and the hot tub and fire pit were great. We had young kids, and a dog with us and all were comfortable. We visit the caverns and made s'mores. Would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Tony Cappaert

I live in DC with my wife and three young kids. I love camping/hiking, drinking (and sometimes brewing) great beer and wine, exploring new restaurants and shops, and traveling all over.

Why they chose this property

We spent years searching for the perfect getaway, and wanted to be close enough to DC that we could do a day trip. We fell in love with the area – and Ellery Cottage in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
