Lovely home, great for families

There were many thoughtful elements in the home and we enjoyed the nostalgic atmosphere with gorgeous views from the porch. Our kids loved it and it was the perfect location to visit Shenandoah National Park. The host was excellent!

Family trip to Shenandoah / Luray!

Excellent location that is close to Luray Caverns and Shenandoah park. We hiked and went to the caverns and loved it. The host was great and the house was clean. The photos are accurate. It was like staying in my grandparents home. Woke up at 5am and saw a HUGE doe right outside the window. Spent most of the time on the porch enjoying the Mountain views.

Pleasant Stay

The house was as listed and had everything needed for our stay. Beautiful views from the front porch. The host was very responsive and was able to accommodate our request for early check in. Of note, 2 bedrooms are on the 2nd level, but the only bathrooms are on the 1st level.

Shenandoah country house

This home was old-fashioned and comfortable. The location was ideal for us! A short drive to the Shenandoah National Park for our week of hiking. The host was a great communicator and I would recommend this property. KSL

Cozy country home

We enjoyed our stay while visiting Shenandoah NP. We were only 15 minutes from the Thortons Gap entrance. The views from the front porch were so nice, and we saw an eagle roosting in a tree the morning we left. Melissi was very easy to communicate with. We were arriving in the evening, so she was sure to leave lights on for us so the house wouldn’t be dark. We really appreciated this.

I know we rented the house, but it felt more like we were staying at a friends house. The manager thought of everything, all the little extras that made you feel at home. Add the fact that when I walked in the door it was like walking into my parents house. Couldn’t have asked for a better end to our vacation!

Brubaker House Stay

The home is in a great location for hiking (why we were there), Luray Caverns and town. Unfortunately, the house itself is old and dated. The porch and sunroom need to be cleaned as there were many cobwebs. The biggest problem we had was the house had lots of flying bugs throughout which would fly in your face and land on you. This was very annoying. Also, the sinks in the bathrooms were very small and the faucet in the one bathroom did not work well at all.

The home was charming and comfortable. My husband and I were immediately drawn to the front porch and spent a lot of time there enjoying the beautiful scenic valley. Inside, the home had everything we needed for a great vacation. We loved the feel of family history and the decor that conveyed a feeling of warmth and solace.

Very cozy! The location was minutes from the main town area for dining options and less than 5 minutes from the entrance to the Luray Caverns. This was also convenient to the Lake Arrowhead Park, where we spent two days racing triathlons. The views were amazing!

Another great stay

This was our second time staying at Brubaker House in Luray. Just like the first time, everything was wonderful. The house was clean, well-stocked, and our host Melissi even remembered that this visit was to celebrate a birthday. Our favorite locations are the front porch (the view of Kennedy Peak in the distance never gets old), and the cozy sun porch, where we read and ate all of our meals. Thanks again for the hospitality and comfort that's just like home. We'll be back again next year!
