About this property

Retreat for Large families and groups - Sleeps 20+ / Perfect for the Holidays:)

The Alcove at Luray is a beautiful retreat for large families, and groups. The large home is on 6 acres of land, has 4 fire pits, 2 grills, and lots of open land. The home also features a large wrap around deck. The firepit in the backyard where you can enjoy nature, the magnificent mountain views, (which can also be seen "up the hill" but close to the main rd. Enjoy the sunrise and family time / game night on the front screened porch.

Our location is convenient to groups visiting local attractions such as Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, Shenandoah Valley river, skiing resorts, old town Luray, etc.. These are just a few of the many places to visit locally and are only minutes away from the home. You Will Enjoy the Home Privately Along With All Amenities.

The home is equipped with a Chef's Kitchen, 2nd kitchenette, two dining rooms (table for 6 each), 2 huge living rooms (with seating for 12 to 24 in each), screened porch, wrap around deck. The house has a total of eight bedrooms (8 queen/3 full beds, 1 King, and 3 sleeper sofa’s in total), 2 are master bedrooms and 6 are bedrooms with Jack and Jill bathrooms, a total of 5 1/2 bath rooms. Family rooms include large screen TV’s with cable channels, and 3 of 8 bedrooms have cable and flat screen TV’s. Along with the abundance of seating in the spacious family rooms, there are plenty of board games, card games, and other family fun diversions. The 10 acres of land surround the property is very beautiful. Three fire pits on the property, each with their own view and atmosphere. One- located up the hill, stunning views of the mountains and sunrise (close to the highway) One- under the shade of trees of fruits, and the main fire pit is in the back yard by the deck, this fire pit has mountain views and a view of our backyard neighbors farm of live cattle (amazing). We have 2 foldable outdoor tables for our guest to set up picnic anywhere on the property.

Our home set up and layout is uniquely decorative. The 5,500 sqft home is all one level and extends all the way back, so the front appears to be a small family modest home. You get both a warm cozy homey feel and a bed and breakfast feel the whole family can enjoy. The Alcove is the perfect place to spend your vacation, with its relaxing and picturesque atmosphere.

The Alcove at Luray is Family Owned and Managed. We Are Local and Just a Phone Call Away. We handle all of our bookings-no property manager and we like to talk to guests before they make their reservations, in case you have any questions. Give us a call. Our goal is to offer our guests a home away from home that warmly accommodates small to large families and groups. We look forward to hearing from you!

We Are Conveniently Close to Popular Tourist Attraction Luray Caverns, Down Town Luray/ Shopping and Dining Areas, Shenandoah National Parks, and Plenty of Excursions, Both Outdoor and Indoor. Duke of Hazzard’s (Cooter’s Place) is less than a mile on the same road, more information in photo above.

Old Rag
This house was perfect for our group that was just there a few days to hike Old Rag. Jane was great to work with. The house was clean and has lots of room for large groups. The drive is about 40 minutes to Old Rag.

Very good for large family gathering
We had a family get together and really enjoyed the stay at the property. Lots of bedrooms and space for everyone. Close to stores and downtown Luray which was nice as well. Would recommend and consider staying again if circumstances permit.

Great home for large groups
The house has an unusual layout but it worked very well for our family holiday gathering. We had 14 adults, including 4 couples, plus a 3 year old and an infant. There are 5 good sized bedrooms down a long hall, opposite a large living room we used for games. Three more bedrooms are in a different wing with the kitchen, dining area and another living room. It offers privacy but is very close to Luray Caverns. The 3 year old was especially taken with watching the animals on the farm behind the house. This may not be the best choice for guests wanting a modern, upscale home, but we were quite content there. It even had a Christmas tree and large Santa figure by the fireplace.
