We had a decent experience here, with the exception of the mildew/mold smell, that smacked us in the face as soon as we walked in. From that, to the loose flickering lights, loose wall outlets, and it not being the cleanest of cabins. We certainly tried to make the best of what i ended up paying $645 to rent out for the wknd of Nov 15th. So much so, we had to go out and spend even more money, for an air purifier... air sanitizing spray... and scented wall plug ins. Just to try and sanitize the air and mask the smell, making it a little more tolerable. So my birthday, our anniversary, and also now engaged/engagement wknd, wasn't a complete bust! Besides the issues with what i just mentioned. What i find to be more troublesome and just plain careless! When i addressed this via email to Tom, one of the owners of these cabins, at email - HotTubHeaven@yahoo.com I never received any response! Not your typical/automatic sorry about yalls experience in our cabin, or welp sucks to be you, nope no response what so ever! The kicker is, my gal Amber has a rare genetic lung condition called alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency. So things like dust, certain pet dander, smoke, and absolutely mold/mildew in the air. Is very hard on her lungs and her body! She is now nearly a wk later, starting to feel a small amount of relief. From our wknd getaway to hot tub (not quite) heaven! Disclaimer: My review herein, is not to get any kind of future free stays. As we are not interested! It's also not to get any money back. As funds received should definitely be used, to take much better care of cabins! Nor is it to cause Tom and Deneane to loose business. It is simply to make others aware of potential conditions as these. When it comes to cabins in the woods that aren't very well maintained, updated, cleaned thoroughly, and rented out with the utmost care! Thank you for taking the time to read my review!

Hillside hotel was not a great stay but not horrible. Our room smelled stale and like old smoke, I…read morethink maybe it was ingrained in the wood paneling. Our room was not like the photos (definitely not fully remodeled) or luxurious. The bathroom had new fixtures and vanity but the tub was still old and kind of grimy. The window screen in the bathroom was ancient and hard to open and there were some sort of seeds or insect eggs all over the windowsill there. There were also dead flies in the front window, which could have used a wipe down. We had a 2 queen room and one bad was extremely hard and one was very soft. There were only 3 pillows on each bed so someone only had 1 pillow - not ideal with kids. Two of the towels in the bathroom were nice and 2 were pretty raggedy and thin. The size of the room was fine (only room for 1 small table, no chairs) but there was no additional deadbolt or slide latch on the door and that didn't feel safe, especially after someone tried to put a code into our door at about 11:00 one night. This motel is somewhat cute, cozy and quiet but still seems a bit run down. However, after driving around Luray, I'd venture to say it's the nicest of the roadside motels we saw. It has beautiful views of the Shenandoah's and it's very convenient to town and the park. It wasn't awful but wasn't what we expected. The manager Judy was very nice when she called to confirm our reservation and when I let her know the room smelled smoky. Be aware that not all rooms look like the photo on the website.

There are also large living and dining rooms. You can walk on paths on the 175 acres and enjoy the 2 Japanese oak baths on the lower level. I couldn't have found a nicer place to share memories and spend time with those close to me and my ex. We sang, cried, enjoyed the baths and shared meals and memories.

DO NOT RENT FROM RIVER CABINS. A picture says a thousand words. Please feel free to zoom in…read more Rustic does not mean disgustingly unashamedly DIRTY. The kitchen utensils, cups, glasses, cookware and everything else, has not been replaced nor updated since 1984. You basically need to rent a uhaul and bring half of your kitchen, half of your linens, comforters, towels- just bring everything from home- DO NOT USE anything there. Drape the sofas, bedpost, use flip flops to shower, do not touch anything in shower, use disposable toilet seat cover. Just skip kitchen all together go out to eat. There are No lights on deck nor steps going down to lower deck; no lights on lower deck. So unless there's a full moon, you will basically need to bring flashlights, lanterns, solar lights, even a candle to light the way. The BBQ grill had used burnout charcoal from last renters. Couldn't open sliding doors facing the river at night because the screen doors are missing. The tv is BEHIND the sofa as if we have eyes behind our heads, and it is smaller than my computer screen. They offer streaming services- but when you open Netflix, they have created a profile with your name,in their streaming apps, without permission and it is impossible to log out of their streaming services in order to log into yours. So you are stuck with that. All 4 ceiling fans are very dirty, and with all the dust and dirt please don't forget your zyrtec. Bottom line for $145 - $165 per night, and having to haul everything that you will need- you are better off camping by the river, renting a cabin from another company or staying at a hotel. This people are riding on free natural views of the river and nature, while disgracefully renting out these cabins that are no better than camping under a bridge. DO NOT RENT FROM THEM; THEY OWN SEVERAL CABINS LIKE THIS ONE.

We were very surprised that so many of the sites are not level and the one we had been assigned had our new camper when we were trying to attempt to get it level started moving down the hill. (note-stay out of any site with 80 in it) Not something you want to happen to 35k of your hard earned cash! We did change sites, which came with a cost. The sites though are CRAZY in price! We get a senior discount with many places we go.....this is not one of them. We selected another site that looked fairly level, but if we ever have to do this again, we will be thinking about if the playground is nearby. While we love kids and have 3 of our own and two grandkids, when the pool closes, the play area is LOUD! Won't make that mistake again. This AM, we took the camp map out and circled acceptable sites for the next trip. The only problem with this is you are charged if you want to make sure you get the site you pick. I really take issue with that. It should not cost you a thing....this is souring me altogether from commercial parks. Pluses....they have great pools, nice inside areas and so forth. Cabanas and golf cart rentals are nice, but a tad high. I feel sites are tight for the $$$$'s. There are some cool places to go in the area to include Luray Caverns, wineries and distilleries. Deluxe tent sites are nice and there are activities. Minuses....I wish that they would build roofs over the picnic tables in all their sites, not just the tent areas. Prices, well I can stay in a hotel for $135 a night.....don't add in the nickle and dime stuff. Many of the sites are just not great....we talked to a gentleman with a diesel pusher and he said he was unhappy as well. At the price, you really do expect a little better. Make sure to join Yogi rewards before coming. At least you can add and get a free night here or there if you stay at other Yogis. It's nice, but very pricey. Unless we have our grandsons, I don't see us staying again.

Small farms, I love you. Smithfield Farm, I love you lots…read more I don't eat meat because the way animals are raised and killed on our giant American CAFOs really bothers me. Smithfield Farm -- which produces Smith Meadows Meats -- is the exact opposite of those factory farms that treat their animals like nothing more than commodities: Smithfield animals (sheep, pigs, cows, chickens, turkeys...) are free-range and grass fed. Did you hear that?!? GRASS fed! Like animals are SUPPOSED to eat! Not corn, because it's cheaper and grows faster, but honest-to-goodness grass. The ethical and humane treatment of animals at Smith Meadows Meats is why I don't feel bad breaking my vegetarian diet verrrry occasionally for a bit of their wonderful sausages or ground beef. I know the animal led a great life and was killed humanely. I can totally get behind that practice. We discovered Smith Meadows Meats at the Del Ray farmers' market, and we make it a weekly stop. Husband loves their rosemary lamb sausage, and my parents always pick up the sweet Italian pork. Husband also usually gets a supply of ground beef for burger grilling. There's a huge selection of organically raised, free-range, grass fed meat here, including whole chicken, lamb chops, pork loin, etc. Around the holidays they supply whole turkeys, too. On top of the beautiful meat, there's a selection of homemade pastas which are always really different and delicious -- like nutmeg squash, winter wheat, and lemon verbena. $5 for the pastas, $7 for the ravioli. The pastas are delish, but I find that the raviolis don't have nearly enough filling! Also available are homemade pasta sauces, and this season's newest addition of empanadas. You can find Smithfield Farm at a number of area farmers' markets, or you can go out and visit the farm itself (which I'd love to do one of these days!). There's also a B&B on the property, and all the food served is from Smithfield. Sweet!

Our cottage was adorable, with brand new kitchen and bathroom with a huge Jacuzzi tub. For a tech addict like me (my husband is not one), there was a tv and DVD player, which made me happy! The farm is situated on a 400 acre massive property outside of Berryville VA. You have to get off 7 and then meander through remote country dirt paths, which totally adds to the rustic appeal of getting away for a trip! There is an awesome farm store next door where grass fed meat and pasture eggs are sold, along with fresh pastas and snacks - everything is delicious and organic, to please all you food snobs out there. If you want to step out and grab dinner somewhere, Winchester is about 25 minutes up Route 7. Lots of cute little shops and great restaurants in the historic town center. Plus helpful pharmacies and red box for renting movies with your sweetie when you return to the B&B. Also there's a funny little corner country store off Wycliffe Road that has more convenience items and alcohol as well. My hubby and I will definitely be back - we loved our experience here and highly recommend it!
