I met the husband Chris as we were leaving, he was very pleasant and approachable. We arrived late, after dark, but the light and the heat had been turned on. The cabin is small but not cramped and all the basics included. hot plate, mini fridge, stand-up shower. The heat system is badass for cold nights. The wifi worked no problem but we didnt use it much. There was a tv on a wall mount but we never even turned it on. The bed was the best part, after a long trip I just hit it and was done.

Such a cool place…read more My family and I (two adults, two kids) stayed in the Gathering Tree. It featured three beds, a master bedroom with a private deck, a large main deck, a spiral staircase, a dining room table, mini fridge, hot plate, two futons, kitchen utensils, a small TV with DVD player and coffee making equipment. There are lots of places to lounge both inside and outside the tree. Outside the treehouse there is a fire pit which we used for s'mores and potatoes. There is a place to purchase firewood right on Ella's property. The property has a .75 mile trail through the woods with numerous animal discoveries along it. My son and I enjoyed trying to find them all and predict what would come next. The property also had many fairy gardens around it. There is also a fort building area giving families many options to do outside. Ella's is an awesome, upscale nature experience in the Deep Creek area. We will definitely return during our next visit to Deep Creek.

I love getting away and being surrounded by nature and this by far is the place to do just that. We stayed at the gathering tree... inside and outside the tree house exceeded our expectations. As soon as we stepped in we felt relaxed and excited. We explored some nearby state parks, enjoyed a fire outside, sat on the back deck to drink our morning coffee, went for walks, played games and enjoyed just being in a treehouse! Cannot say enough about it!

We love that we can bring our pup with us. The views are spectacular. We love having a campfire each night, and we have spent many hours in those hot tubs! The owner is fantastic. He's professional, helpful and very responsive.

Hot tub on the COVERED deck overlooking the view of the valley. sitting in the tops pf the trees and you can watch the hawk hunt. fire pit down on the river with chairs for comfort. 2 big meadows where deer wander in the mornings. paths along the river. gas fireplace. great kitchen. wsher and dryer. fantastic bathroom and shower. new flat screen TV. wifi. brought our laptop and hdmi and watched movies at night and when it rained. clean clean clean. Very private. a fantastic get away and only 1 hour and 20 minutes from DC. Highly recommended. 15 minutes from Front Royal and 10 minutes from Luray. I nearly kept one star because the grill is fixed on the wrong side of the cabin - a gas grill on that deck really would have made it perfect. But, we really had a great time and were incredibly pleased. Bring your food and booze, grab a cocktail and get in that hot tub and watch the sunset.

We are looking to…read morepurchase a vacation home in Davis and we decided to stay at the Black Bear resort to see how it was, HUGE MISTAKE! We arrived on a Saturday and noticed dozens of dead cluster flies around the main window. It was obvious that no one had been in the room for weeks and then when we saw numerous mouse droppings, we were out. We offered to move to a new room, but they were sold out so Melissa the Mgr offered us a refund. When I emailed to get that going, I had to fight with her to get it. After many calls/emails, she returned a small fraction of what we paid. We would never stay here nor purchase property knowing that BB resort would be managing it, terrible in all respects.

SME is the kind of place that's so special, you want to keep it all to yourself, but can't help but…read moretell everyone you know about it! It is the coziest little getaway in Luray situated on an absolutely beautiful property. There are five cabins in total that are intended to be a couple's getaway, so the property is always very quiet and peaceful. It feels very connected to nature- we've seen deer very close to each of the structures when we've stayed. We've had the pleasure of staying in the Dragonfly, Bumblebee, and Ladybug cabins and have really enjoyed each one- they all have a similar feel but are built slightly differently. This time around, we were in the Bumblebee cabin, which is quite spacious and shares a structure with the Dragonfly cabin. There was a gas fireplace and a TV downstairs where we spent most of our time reading; there was also a couch upstairs in the hallway outside of the bedroom, and a cute balcony we probably would have spent time on if it was warmer! It is absolutely the kind of place where you can just stay in your cabin the entire time you're there, but it's also located pretty close to Sperryville and downtown Luray if you're looking to venture out. To fully take advantage of SME, I'd recommend bringing your own food or groceries to cook- there's not a whole lot close by (which is part of the charm!), but the kitchen is well-equipped with a microwave, oven, and stovetop. There's a pizza place that delivers right to the cabins, which is nice- honestly, the pizza isn't very good, but it's nice to have the option. There are also bottles of wine available for purchase in your cabin, which is nice to have available. You won't meet two nicer people than the owners of SME, Karen and Ralph. It is so clear how much they love SME and sharing their love of the property, which reflects their travels through Europe, with those who stay there. There will always be a delicious baked treat from Karen waiting in your cabin when you arrive, and if you're lucky, she or Ralph will show you around the property and tell you about the structures, all of which were built by Ralph and designed by them both. They are so friendly and kindhearted and make it such a special place to stay. As just one example- it snowed one of the nights we stayed, and Ralph cleared off our car without us even asking. SME feels so calm and peaceful- it's a true VA oasis. We're already planning our next trip back!

My wife and I have stayed here 3 years in a row and we absolutely love the area, lots of trails for hiking, a near by Golf Course at Canaan Valley Resort, Seneca Rocks are close by for day time activities. The towns of Davis and Thomas are also close by with tons of good shops, breweries, and restaurants. We absolutely love this part of the country. The cabins have everything you need whether you want to stay in and cook in their fully equipped kitchen, all you need to bring is food & drinks! There are even Charcoal grills at every cabin and the Jacuzzi hot tubs are perfect to pass the mornings & evenings away. Our cabin Serenity had a pool table and bubble hockey game upstairs. Plenty of DVD's, dish network tv, puzzles, books, and some games. The beds are a little firm for our taste, but that is really the only negative that I have. Not ridiculous but just wish they were softer. We can't wait to go back next year!

I call it a resort because it absolutely fits the definition of a resort which is a place that is a popular destination for vacations or recreation, or which is frequented for a particular purpose. The destination is popular for all Canaan Valley activities (skiing, horse back riding, cavern exploration, etc). We frequent these cabins for recreation, relaxation, rest and recuperation. The cabins are second to none and the attention to detail is simply amazing. The cabins are decorated with five star quality and they all present that home away from home feeling. The kitchens have all the appliances, dishes, pots and pans that you need in order to prepare those home cooked meals while living in your home away from home. This was our second time visiting this luxury cabin resort and we decided to bring our brother and sister along for a birthday celebration. My wife and I stayed in the Royale Cabin and my Brother and sister stayed in the Majestic Cabin. When we arrived we walked right into our cabin and were amazed by the captivating appeal. The soft music was playing in the background and the cozy gas fireplace had the place warm and toasty inside. Both cabins were even meticulously decorated for Christmas holiday which was a very nice touch. Daniel & Jamie Marsh are Simply Outstanding and you can tell that they care about their customers experience. They have thought of everything in order to make your stay extremely enjoyable and relaxing to include the jacuzzi/Hot tub which was excellent during the winter nights. We will FOREVER support them and this astonishing luxury cabin resort because they understand professionalism, quality, customer appeal and customer service.

Photos were deceiving for our view for the back porch. There is a large chunk of property that is…read morenot owned and fenced off. The furniture in room 1 was terrible, from the seating on the front porch not being in good condition to the recliners being very worn down and not easy for our elderly parents to get out of. The dining room chairs you could tell had been repaired many times and not the safest to set in and there are only four dining room chairs as it is. The queen bed in the room we slept in was flipped for some odd reason to the bottom of the mattress being at the head of the bed and it is stated in the rules to not move furniture. The mattress was so hard and uncomfortable. Upon inspection there is alot of dirt and such at the head of the bed between mattress and box spring. The mattress cover on this same bed was torn and wouldn't really even stay on the bed. There were used toiletries left in the restroom I'm assuming from previous guest. A air hockey table was listed as the amenities but when our boys went to play it there is no power cord so not usable so be aware that's not a plus. The legs on the air hockey table where very wobbly as well. Upon arrival also there is a written notice of the abundance of flies which to a point is understanding but then it's very noticeable that they are being attracted by the trailer that is loaded down with trash that's sitting at the office. It is not very professional when the only way you can reach any staff is pushing a ring door bell. A plus was the hot tub but yet you could tell when the jets were not on it was not very clean.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Turtle Brook Farms and proprietors Claudia and Lea. The…read morefarm has two cabins that have all the amenities needed to "rough it, but not too much" - full kitchen, sitting area / living room, and a beautiful porch that looks out onto the gorgeous mountains. The skies are so clear, with so little "light pollution" you can see the Milky Way at night with the naked eye. Fish in Dragonfly pond, hike the trails, climb to the top of "The Ridge," ride horses, dip in the natural Warm Springs, visit the George Washington National Forest, go "antiquing," visit The Homestead for music, fireworks and "high tea," eat a 5-star meal at The Waterworks at The Gristmill Inn -- all these activities are literally within a 10-mile radius of the farm. Claudia and Lea are friendly, helpful and respectful of your privacy as guests. Could not ask for more gracious hosts. Highly recommended, and we will be returning. Definitely.
