We rented out a cabin to stay with our family, which happened to be 3 families with children. It…read morewas about a perfect setup for us, given the difficulties of traveling with two kids under two. The cabin came fitted with appropriate child gates and had pack n plays for them to sleep in. It also had enough for us to be comfortable and entertained together, on the mountain every night when we put them to bed. They probably undersell their amenities, so be sure to look for everything they have to offer. Overall the cabin was very clean, the terms were reasonable, it had everything we needed, and the view/location was perfect. If you're traveling to the area I'd definitely recommend looking into their options.

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!

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.

Cedar Breeze was recently remodeled for the purpose of making it a vacation rental. It is in a perfect location for anyone who wants to enjoy what the Shenandoah Valley has to offer. We are in walking distance to the Shenandoah River and 1 mile from a public boat landing. The Shenandoah River Outfitters is only minutes away by car, as well as, to hiking trails in the George Washington National Forest. Bring your fishing poles, bicycles, and hiking shoes!

When I visited there, the weather is about 50F, it was so nice to spend time in the outdoor hot tub and look up at starry sky. Definitely going back for more fun stuff to do such as hiking, canoeing, tubing, etc.

The private hot tub and fire pit were awesome and we used both. We wanted a cozy getaway and that's definitely what we got. The only downsides were that the fire pit solo stove didn't have a lid to help it go out so we had to wait outside longer than we planned until it went out and there were a good amount of bugs (expected in the area the cabin is but it was still a lot). The views and our overall experience at the cabin was exactly what we were hoping for so we will definitely be back! We were near plenty of places in a nearby town for meals and groceries and our goal was to complete the Old Rag hike and we were close enough to do it! :)

The privacy is on point. The hottub and the swing, perfect! We did some grocery shopping to make our meals on site. They also had a small grill. The washer and dryer in the cabin made a huge difference because we went hiking a couple times and it was hot out! The only thing that threw me for a loop was their small pond. It looked amazing in photos but in person it was a small pond with rocks and gravel. But everything else was wonderful! You can go offsite to see beautiful waterfalls etc. There is a community rec center across the street with a large pool. We stopped in to see it. Staff there was informative and friendly. So if you wanted to hop out of the Hawksbill gate and go across the street you can enjoy the pool!

It's got two bedrooms, each with a full sized bed, a full kitchen, and living room with a fireplace and rocking chairs. A babbling brook and stream with a waterwheel are right outside and a deer filled forest boarders the cabin for 21 acres. We paid about $314 for two weekend nights, payable by cash or check only. Driving there at night, it can be hard to find. This really is a remote location, accessible by dirt road, in a very rural community. Since there were no Yelp or other online reviews whatsoever, just a shady looking website with a phone number, we thought maybe we were driving to our doom, but it turned out not to be the case. Once we finally arrived, it was lovely and exactly what I was looking for to escape the stress and insanity of DC. If you're looking to visit Shenandoah or Luray Caverns, there are closer, more centrally located cabins for the same price or less, but if you're just looking to just get away from it all, like REALLY get away from it all, this is a great location. It was the only location not filled up after calling dozens of other cabins in Luray, which were all booked due to it being National Park Week and Spring Break. The couple that runs the cabin are so nice and accommodating. We arrived to see a welcome letter, some local fresh eggs from a nearby farm, and some delicious local honey made by the granddaughter of couple. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and sugar, flour, etc. The furniture is hand made and there are doilies and linens knit and sewn by couple that own the cabin. There's no WiFi but we did get cell reception (we have Sprint), and there is a TV with cable and a surprisingly decent selection of movies on VHS. For locally roasted coffee, it's worth the 8 mile drive to Central Coffee Roasters, and for dinner, try Hawkbill Diner for a very Twin Peaks experience. I debated whether to write this review because I suspect that once the word is out about this place, we'll never get a reservation again, but the couple deserve your business. Best weekend break of 2014 for us!

My friend made the reservations so I had no interaction with the owners of the cabin. But as soon as I walked in I could tell they are probably the nicest people. We were greeting with hand written message along with a jar of home grown honey from their granddaughters honey bees. I am one that searches for and reads the reviews for any and everything. Upon learning I would be spending the weekend here I did just that. After finding only 1 review prior to mine I was a bit nervous. But as soon as I walked in the front door all that went away. I can honestly say at the end of the weekend I did not want to leave! We were here in January and are looking forward to coming back in the spring. This home is a step back in time. The furnishing and amenities are outdated but that only added to the charm of this place. At first I thought, "whoa". But after a few minutes memories of my childhood started to flood in and I quickly appreciated what I was seeing. We will most definitely be back!

The bedrooms were on separate sides to give us some nice privacy. I loved the peaceful closed in porch and we used the fire pit outside at night. The bathrooms were nice and clean and I was surprised there was a washer and dryer if we needed! I also liked that it was dog friendly for an extra $20/night fee. That was pricey in my opinion but I can understand, as some people's dogs aren't well behaved. The only small things that weren't perfect, is that there was some kind of beeping by the fireplace so when we sat at the dining room table to eat or work on our laptops, it was kinda annoying and we couldn't figure out what it was from or how to stop it. Next, there wasn't anywhere to walk or go for a run right from the cabin. But there are trails nearby you can drive to and the views on the drives were pretty to see. We had a great weekend, there's so much stuff to do and explore in the area. This cabin was big for 2 people so if you have a group this is a good size. All the bedrooms are on different sides so there is a lot of privacy for each person or couple.

It had snowed in the region just a day earlier, but the gravel roads were plowed and was a non-issue even in our 2WD car. The appearance of the cabin is new, simple, and cozy. We had six adults staying in the cabin for a long weekend. There was more than enough space for all of us, the hot water was also never an issue. There are also nice subtle touches too. Simple things like Tupperware to save our meals was available for use during our stay. The hot tub was great, even with outside temperatures near 5F to 10F degrees. The cabin also had a nice flat screen wall mounted TV and a great stereo system (with iPhone capability mount). The interaction with the owner was always pleasant and simple. The bottom line: This is a great place to stay if you want a simple weekend in a nice place, with beautiful views!

All from May thru December 2020. This particular cabin was so cozy. The owner made it very nice and had it all set up for Christmas when we walked in. It was very peaceful and had a very nice huge hot tub which we both enjoyed. It was very clean which is everyone's concern. Especially during this difficult time that we are having with covid. It was a two bedroom with two bathrooms. If you would like to getaway with your family or as a couple. I highly recommend. We definitely plan on going back and you can stop by Luray Caverns.
