Was a nice, renovated cabin with addition. Necessities were clean, but lots of cobwebs on fixtures/high areas. Very limited communication with the owner but check in we had no issues and I am not a needy person. Bring a techie to navigate 2-3 remotes for the TVs & satellite with no printed instructions. Wasn't there to watch TV, but ya know. Never used the hot tub but looked clean. You are very close to road & morning traffic (not secluded location). Neighbors just across the road. No regrets and good venue for about 5 people max in my opinion.

This was a beautiful cabin with a touch of luxury. Little things like the garden tub, the furniture and the deco were just a bonus. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cookware, pots and pans. We enjoyed our stay as it was secluded but also 10 minutes from Wal Mart and Food Lion. The king bed was so comfortable. This was a quiet and easy to get to the property. We enjoyed walking our dogs down the road that connects to neighboring property. It may be a secluded property, but there are alot of things/activities to do all within 5 to 20 minutes of this property. Our only issues we had were the entrance door is pretty much see through glass and nothing covering for privacy there is also a lack of outside lighting in the parking area. The owner does have solar lights around the rear entrance, but they just weren't working when we arrived. The leaves and walnuts were everywhere and that is nothing anyone can control as that is just the fall foliage. We do plan on coming back to this property for a longer stay because we enjoyed the relaxation, atmosphere and tranquility. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful cabin!!

Good Homebase

We had two teens, their parents, a set of grandparents, and 2 dogs. The house was versitile enough that we could find great sleeping arrangements and a variety of things to do for fun right at the house. It was awesome to have fishing spots so close. The location was great for us too; close to some touristy things but great spots to hike and bike were very close as well. The host was amazing and even though the dryer did not work in our arrival she came up with alternatives for us. Stuff happens so it wasn’t her fault but her willingness to go the extra mile was appreciated! A great house for a family that wants to come and go throughout the day and have a good place to eat meals together at night. It’s a good house!

Great Romantic Get-a-way

Stayed with my wife and dog. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived and just made a quick stop at the local Walmart for some groceries. Spent most days touring around the local area thanks to the several recommendations the host gave, and spent nights in the hot tub and cooking s’mores and watching the stars

Beautiful cabin with great nearby activities

We had such a lovely time at this pretty cabin. Highlights were our hike on the Lion’s Tail trail. For anyone with little kids, it was about 15 min away and a .5 mile loop that was level, stroller-friendly and had a great access to point to the creek. We spent hours there! Our daughter loved the horse decor of the cabin!

Absolutely beautiful inside and out. My group had everything we needed with full kitchen and plenty of towels, comfy beds and nice hot showers. The hot tub was nice to relax in.

Lovely Stay on Luray

Beautifully restored “cabin” with the best of both worlds: rustic charm and modern conveniences. Great location. Close to the Luray Caverns, scenic Skyline Drive and The Appalachian Trail. The kitchen was well appointed, beds and sofas were comfortable. We also enjoyed the fire pit and hit tub under the night sky. Very Relaxing!

About the host

Host profile image
This was a project... although the end result - absolutely beautiful, with lots of customized features thru out our cabin. I started this project because I was taking care of my Mom and I needed to hire additional help...so we decided to restore this 1850's originally built cabin ... Charlotte G Kibler (my mother) passed away before I was finished however I know she would be proud of how it has turned out...I have designed cabin to accomodate the elderly and handicapped. We all need a vacation...It is hard taking care of your loved ones and this is when you deserve the vacation the most. So bring all and all will be comfortable...

Why they chose this property

I decided on this property for renovation because of the historic uniqueness and where it is located.

What makes this property unique

It's totally unique - there are so many benefits in staying here to list a few: private yet close to everything....
romantic....
handicap accessible....
Originally built in the 1850's - date is still in the original chinking made of horse hair...just to list a few
