Welcome to Shenandoah Vista, a peaceful retreat where you can admire a winding bend of the Shenandoah River through the woods - a view stunning in winter and just as captivating in summer. Perfect for couples or families, the cabin features cozy indoor space, a wrap-around deck, and a fire pit.
This cozy cabin is the perfect home base for relaxing or exploring!. With 3 bedrooms (1 king and 2 queen beds), it's ideal for families or couples. A fully equipped kitchen makes dining in-house convenient and a stackable washer/dryer allows for easy clean up after outdoor fun. Outside, the wrap-around deck offers ample seating and a charcoal grill is available for relaxed meals under the trees. At night, stargaze or gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Dog friendly so your furry travel companion (2 max) are welcome to join the adventure ($60 pet fee per dog - no nightly charges).
Shenandoah Vista is located in a quiet neighborhood and, while not completely secluded, the surrounding woods create a peaceful getaway. There are a few home scattered nearby, however the setting remains private and relaxing.
Traveling with a larger group? Shenandoah Vista is near “Grand View,” another one of our 6-guest properties. While separated by a wooded area, the homes are walkable yet private - ideal for multiple families or friends traveling together.

Super easy check in & out. Beautiful home just outside Luray. Driveway is steep, but made it in & out fine in our Challenger. We really enjoyed having a comfortable living room area to relax in after long days out and internet was really good. The host are very helpful and kind. Definitely a great place to stay!

The house was exactly as described. Very comfortable and clean! The views from the deck are fantastic. We enjoyed breakfast outside each morning. Great proximity to Shenandoah National Park, which is where we spend almost every day and the house was the perfect resting spot after a full day on the river or hiking the trails.
