The Space:
Morning light filters through the trees as steam rises from the hot tub, and the quiet of the woods settles around you. In winter the Shenandoah air feels crisp and clean, making evenings by the fire pit and cozy time indoors especially inviting. Here, days slow down and simple moments—warm drinks, shared meals, and fireside conversations—take center stage. Whether you’re exploring nearby trails or simply unwinding on the porch, the retreat feels like a gentle pause in the rhythm of everyday life.
Sleeping arrangements
- Bedroom 1: king bed
- Bedroom 2: queen bed and twin bed
All linens, extra pillows, and room‑darkening shades are provided for a restful night.
Bathrooms
- Two full bathrooms, each with a bathtub
- One bathroom includes a spa tub for soothing sore muscles after a day of hiking
Bathroom essentials and hot water are available throughout your stay.
Living space
The large living area welcomes you with a fireplace that makes cooler‑season evenings especially comfortable. A Smart TV and WiFi let you unwind with a movie or stay connected, and indoor games are on hand for low‑key nights in.
Kitchen & dining
A fully stocked kitchen is ready for home‑cooked meals, morning coffee, or simple snacks between adventures. A dining table offers space for gathering and enjoying meals together.
Outdoor living
A spacious yard provides room to play games or simply take in the wooded surroundings. The year‑round hot tub is especially enjoyable during cooler months, while the fire pit creates a natural gathering place for s’mores and stargazing. A covered front porch offers a sheltered spot to watch the kids play or enjoy quiet moments, and a patio with a grill adds another option for outdoor meals when the weather allows.
Location
You’re less than a mile from the Shenandoah River, where canoe, kayak, and tubing rentals are nearby. Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive, and Luray Caverns are all within a short drive, and downtown Luray’s breweries, restaurants, and shops are close by.

Needs Some Maintenance
We enjoyed the area. I expected the upkeep to be a little better. The hot tub wasn't working, but it was pretty hot out when we were there, so not a big loss. Couldn't use the closet because open to the attic and made bedroom hard to cool. The bathrooms are next to each other and not near one bedroom, so having two isn't really adding value. Bathroom fan should be replaced with quiet unit. Loved having air conditioning, washer and dryer and fun games.

We had a great time staying here and using the house as a base for hiking. The kids loved the football table and the hot tub was clean and hot!

Wonderful House in Nature
We had a great time staying in the Nature Nook. We loved how close the house was to the Shenandoah River Rafting Adventures. Driving into Luray to explore the caverns and town didn’t take long.
We received a text to make sure that everything in the house was satisfactory for our stay. The communication was so timely and helpful.
Our kids enjoyed playing foosball, and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch listening to an afternoon thunderstorm. We enjoyed our stay.

Great stay!
Great stay! Great host - Tony and team were only a text away & fast at communicating! The location of the cabin is in a very quiet neighborhood that's an easy drive to the town of Luray. We brought our dog and he enjoyed our walks in the neighborhood and we took him to a few parks (lots of choices and variety). Things we loved about the cabin were the porch, the BBQ (missing in their cooking utensils - bring your own), the fire pit (buying logs is easy as many locations on the way to the cabin sell bundles), fully stocked kitchen to prepare your meals and eat out on the front porch, comfortable beds, nice showers. Didn't get around to using the hot tub, but it looked very nice and inviting. Our only complaint was that the cabin indicates that it has reliable WIFI and you can stream shows. This was not the case. The WIFI was very slow to non existent. So, if you are planning to work from the cabin or catch up on shows, this is not a good place to accomplish either. Although initially frustrated, we enjoyed being disconnected from outside distractions and instead connected with our family traveling with us playing games during our down time which the cabin has lots to offer. When we needed WIFI, to get some work done during the day, we found a café in town that had strong, reliable WIFI. If you want to watch shows - download them before you go. Other than this minor inconvenience, we had a fabulous stay and would stay again in the future.
