Perfect getaway for a brief spring break vacation with my kids, Enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and cozy cabin. We had a great time. Close to some nearby hikes and Luray Caverns. We stocked up at the Food Lion before checking in and recommend that you cook your food at the cabin as the closest restaurant is probably a 25-30 minute trip away and wouldn't want to drive there after sundown.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Overly

Host profile image
As a native of Northern Virginia, I grew up camping all around the forests surrounding Shenandoah Valley. To provide a weekend escape from life inside the beltway, I bought this charming cabin in 2013, and have spent the last few years lovingly renovating it from its original mid-1980's decor, complete with wood paneling, shag carpet and linoleum flooring. And now I'm ready to share it with you. I hope you enjoy watching the woods wake up as you drink your morning coffee and relaxing in the hot tub after a hike or a trip to a nearby winery.

What makes this property unique

Come visit the Valley and enjoy the beautiful hiking trails, explore local wineries, and discover cute shops in town. Start your mornings with a peaceful coffee on the deck and unwind in the evenings swapping stories around the firepit or enjoying a soak in the hot tub. It’s the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the natural beauty of this wonderful area.
