Hosting your group was a pleasure! Thank you for the fantastic 10 out of 10 review and your kind words about us. We want our guests to feel welcome and comfortable asking questions, so we’re especially pleased that our communication helped make your stay enjoyable.
With 17 guests, having room to spread out while still spending time together makes a difference. The Lodge’s 10 bedrooms, five bathrooms, dining table seating 20, and spacious gathering areas make it well suited to shared meals and relaxed evenings. The game room, hot tub, fire pit, and covered porches offer plenty of ways for everyone to enjoy their vacation.
Beyond the cabin, Hawksbill Retreat’s 45-acre grounds include walking trails, gazebos, and a stocked fishing pond. For group outings, there’s plenty to choose from: exploring Luray Caverns, horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables, enjoying the Shenandoah River, or taking in the scenery along Skyline Drive. Nearby Wisteria Farm & Vineyard and the activities at Massanutten Resort provide still more options for different interests.
We appreciate you choosing The Lodge as the gathering place for your group. Thank you for sharing your experience—we’d be delighted to host your next get-together!
Warmly,
Randy and Misty
We rented this property for 15 people. There was plenty of space for everyone, including amazing porch spaces, a group fire pit area, outdoor patio space and a huge dining table that could fit all of us. Great location central to many Shenandoah activities. Owners communicated well, the property was as advertised and it was very clean and ready for our visit. We plan to return to the property for another visit.

Everyone around one table, evenings by the fire pit, and plenty of porch space to relax—what a wonderful way to spend time together! Thank you for your thoughtful 10 out of 10 review. We’re delighted The Lodge comfortably accommodated all 15 of you and that you’re already planning another visit.
You highlighted some of our favorite features: spaces where the whole group can gather, along with quieter spots to spread out and enjoy the surroundings. With 10 bedrooms, five bathrooms, generous outdoor seating, and that large dining table, The Lodge gives groups room to share meals, conversations, and unhurried time together.
We also appreciate your comments about cleanliness, accurate descriptions, and communication. Having the property ready and welcoming when you arrive matters to us, and we’re pleased those efforts helped your visit go smoothly.
As you discovered, our location makes it easy to plan a variety of Shenandoah outings. A future visit could include Luray Caverns, hiking and scenic overlooks in Shenandoah National Park, horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables, or seasonal adventures on the Shenandoah River. For a leisurely afternoon, there’s nearby Wisteria Farm & Vineyard—or you can stay right here and explore Hawksbill Retreat’s 45-acre grounds, walking trails, gazebos, and stocked fishing pond.
We’d love to welcome your group back for another round of shared meals and evenings around the fire. Thank you for making The Lodge your gathering place!
Warmly,
Randy and Misty

The house was clean and the room breakdown worked well for our group. Note that with the exception of Luray, other attractions are all at least an hour away. This is both good and bad. The house is centrally located to a lot of fun things to do, but you will need to drive a bit to get to them.

Thank you for recognizing The Lodge’s cleanliness and confirming that the bedroom layout worked well for your group of 18. Providing enough space for a large group to stay, dine, and spend time together is one of The Lodge’s greatest strengths.
We would like to clarify the comment that attractions other than Luray are all at least an hour away, as that could give future guests an inaccurate impression of our location. There are numerous options considerably closer, including horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables and wine tasting at Wisteria Farm & Vineyard, both here in Stanley. Hawksbill Recreation Park, with its seasonal swimming pool, is directly across the road from Hawksbill Retreat.
Other outings within a 30 to 45-minute drive include river adventures and parks in the town of Shenandoah, Shenandoah Caverns, Endless Caverns, New Market’s historic attractions, and Massanutten Resort. Shenandoah National Park’s Thornton Gap entrance is also within that range, although reaching particular trails or waterfalls farther along Skyline Drive naturally adds travel time.
The Lodge itself offers 10 bedrooms, five bathrooms, dining seating for 20, a game room, hot tub, fire pit, and spacious covered porches. Guests also have access to the retreat’s walking trails and stocked fishing pond, providing plenty to enjoy without leaving the property.
We appreciate your observation that the house is centrally located to many enjoyable activities. That combination of a peaceful setting, nearby attractions, and room for everyone to gather is exactly what The Lodge offers.
We had wonderful stay at the Lodge and felt we got value for our money. We organized a large family gathering - at our max we had 16 adults and 11 children. We all fit comfortably into the lodge. The very large dining table was perfect for our needs. Checkin was easy and communication with the owners was easy and comfortable; and they were not intrusive. There was space outside for the children (5 of whom were infants) to play and the arcades and air hockey kept them occupied when it rained. Shopping for groceries and supplies was convenient. The town was cute, with a nice walking path, and a good coffee shop. Entrance to the park was an easy 30 minute drive away. The place was spotless at checkin; we found the beds to be comfortable; and the air-conditioning was effective. There were no cleaning supplies, pantry staples, or laundry detergent; but it was not a big deal as a Food Lion was nearby.

Bringing 27 family members together—including five little ones—is a special occasion, and we’re delighted The Lodge gave everyone room to feel comfortable! Thank you for your thoughtful 10 out of 10 review. Hearing that you enjoyed the gathering and felt you received good value means a great deal to us.
We loved reading how your family used the space: gathering around the large dining table, enjoying time outdoors, and keeping the children entertained with games and air hockey when the rain arrived. Those shared meals and everyday moments together are exactly what we hope The Lodge makes possible. Its 10 bedrooms, five bathrooms, and generous gathering areas help families settle in while giving everyone room to spread out.
Thank you, too, for recognizing the spotless arrival condition, comfortable beds, effective air-conditioning, and easy check-in. We’re happy our communication struck the right balance—available when you needed us while respecting your family’s time and privacy. Your note about cleaning supplies, pantry staples, and laundry detergent is helpful feedback as we review how we communicate what guests should bring.
It’s wonderful that you also enjoyed the nearby town, walking path, and coffee shop. Along with convenient grocery shopping, our location offers plenty of possibilities for family outings, from Luray Caverns and its museums to scenic drives and hikes in Shenandoah National Park. Horseback riding at Jordan Hollow Stables and seasonal adventures on the Shenandoah River offer more to explore. Back at Hawksbill Retreat, the 45-acre grounds, walking trails, gazebos, and stocked fishing pond provide opportunities to enjoy a quieter day together.
We’re honored you chose The Lodge for your family gathering and appreciate the useful details you shared for future guests. We would love to welcome your family back as the little ones grow and new memories take shape!
Warmly,
Randy and Misty

My family and I had an excellent stay at this property over a long weekend. The property and surrounding area are beautiful and picturesque. The home had amenities for everyone in the group, even toys for the toddlers.
This is a beautiful property. It's very clean with everything you need to cook big family meals in the kitchen. It's so close to awesome outdoor activities. Our whole extended family loved the week we spent here!
The owner was friendly and easy to get along with. Quiet place and plenty of room for everyone to have their space. Game room kept the young adults busy and the large table was great for meals and playing games.
We had a great stay at this cabin. The views were beautiful, the area felt very private, and we loved the hot tub and fire pit. The layout worked well for multiple families, and the hikes on the property were perfect for kids. Luray Caverns was also a fun nearby trip, and the playground within walking distance was a nice bonus.The kitchen was well‑stocked and having two full‑size refrigerators was a huge help, though the layout didn’t flow as smoothly (coffee cups were far from the coffee maker), and only stainless‑steel pans were available — a few nonstick options would be great. Although the host makes mention of this in the property description, there was no starter pack with detergent, food storage bags or extra trash bags, so bring those along. The beds were comfortable, but the pillows were a bit too firm for some of us.Overall, a spacious, comfortable home in a beautiful setting. We really enjoyed our stay & have recommended the property to many of our friends!
My sisters and I along with our partners had a lovely weekend getaway staying at this property. The pictures did not do it justice. Everything was wonderful.
The house was very nice, clean and appropriate for our group. We initially thought the house would be a bit bigger but it worked out perfectly. The neighborhood was very peaceful, easy to get to and not too far from various shops located within 5-10 miles of the house. The host were communicative and assisted us when needed. Would definitely recommend and visit again if we decide to come back to the area.
We had an absolutely amazing time at the Hawksbill Lodge!! The house was amazing and so big!! It fit our crew of 28 so good! The atmosphere was perfect! A wonderful fire pit, hot tub, game room! The master suite downstairs was too notch!! The kitchen and living area was huge and perfect for our big crew! We throughly enjoyed our stay and we all agreed to book again for next year immediately!!! Thank you so much to the wonderful hosts!!!
Cabin is very cozy and very clean. We had 16 adults/2 children but never felt too crowded. The bedrooms were just lovely and the beds very comfortable! Suggestions - master bathrooms could use toilet paper holders and a bath caddie in the showers. It was weird having the toilet paper and your shower supplies on the back of the toilet. Minor details but would be most helpful! We really loved the outdoor space - oh and that wrap around porch - heaven! The fire pit was great for our evening catch-up chats. Randy and Misty were great to work with (Misty - I appreciate your "hand holding" getting us in the door!) Hoping to stay again next year in your beautiful home.

This is a good property for our large family of 20. We loved the kitchen especially the long dining table where we could all sit together to eat.
The property does need some upgrading however. Several of the bathrooms need immediate attention. Otherwise we were very happy with the property and would recommend it to others.

Beautiful property - limited cooking appliances
The house was very clean and spacious. We had our annual family vacation there. The problem that we had was 1. The gas grill turned on, but didn’t produce enough heat to grill a burger.2. The stove was not much better, the burner took 30 minutes to boil water and the oven had smoke billowing out of it. Cooking there was very challenging, which is an activity they we usually enjoy a lot on these vacations.

Great place for a large group and we had a wonderful time. Property is in general very well kept. Images in listing do not reveal how close the lodge is to other buildings which initially disappointed us but turned out to be no problem. Plenty of lawn to play on. The negatives include, roaches in the kitchen and no sound proofing in the walls. Despite these issues we had a wonderful, family time! All 21 of us agreed we would return.

We are glad your group had a good time. As far as the bugs, we have pest control services performed MONTHLY for preventative measures. Please see the review by GREG whose group checked in the evening of the same day you checked out, August 1, 2023. We were never contacted during your stay about any issues. Often times, the bugs you mention, are imported from guests.
