Family-friendly vacation rentals in Luray

This house was a phenomenal stay for my wedding weekend. I love old southern houses and this place blew me away. Katie was very accommodating and responsive.

Great spot for our family of six. Plenty of space for the kids and dogs to roam. After hiking the hot tub was a big hit. Easy access to SNP and caverns. River access lot was great for fishing but there was an experience with a neighbor. Be mindful of the white posts that are near the sign on the river lot for fox creek lodge. The posts don’t go all the way to the water but those posts denote separate property although there is no sign saying so. When my son was fishing three feet inside that on the rocks in the water, the very vocal neighbor came down to the road and threatened to call the cops on us and yelled pretty aggressively as he continued to walk towards us. It seemed like a strange escalation on his part when we immediately got my son on the other side of the post as soon as he yelled that it was private property. Just a note of caution, as we didn’t go down to the river after that because the guy left us feeling a little unsettled. No fault on this Airbnb at all.

Patricia was a great host. We absolutely recommend booking with her. The cabin was clean when we arrived. Hot tub was amazing. The area is private and we will be booking again!

The chalet was a perfect home base for our stay in the valley over a birthday weekend. Derek gave us clear instructions ahead of time, we had no trouble getting in. We were able to just crash and watch TV the first night in front of the electric fireplace. Second night we hit the hot tub which we needed after a long hike. We found good restaurants in Front Royal and Luray (Osteria Maria, Chop House Bistro) and for coffee in the morning Broad Porch. Check out was also easy, we just needed to strip the beds and take out the trash. And of course we loved being able to bring our doggo. My fiancee had previously been hosted by Derek and we would definitely stay here again.

Rick and Brittany’s place was perfect for what I was looking for a long weekend away from the noise with the pup. It was quiet and private. Everything was just as described. Clean and easy to use. I do not mind driving a little further so took a venture over to Shenandoah for hiking but also got experience the local the lost river state park for hiking as well another day. Enjoyed grilling out for every meal too.

The only part of the stay that didn't get 5 stars was that it wasn't quite as secluded as I'd hoped for. There are a number of homes on the road to the cabin, and a thin line of trees breaks the view. Admittedly unless you're looking for the other houses you don't notice them, so I got past that quickly enough. That said, the cabin was perfect, clean, cozy and everything worked as stated. Having grown up in the country, but living in a city now, I felt the stress melt away as soon as I stepped into the massive yard where my son and I spent a lot of time playing soccer and other sports. My son and wife really enjoyed the hot tub. The location is 15 minutes away from Luray which meant that the stars were amazing for the brief break in the clouds we got, but that it was close enough to get groceries and take out as needed. Plus it's about 20 minutes away from Front Royal so there are places to go and enjoy like Skyline or Luray Caverns. Jackie was a great and responsive host!

Connie's Rock Cottage was amazing! much thought was put into this cottage. Firewood and fire starter for the wood stove on chilly nights, robes we used for getting to and from the private hot tub just steps outside the back door,map of entire 550 acres of land including the wonderful paved walkway which meanders through the property. This was the mosr exceptionally prepared kitchen we have seen in out travels. Tons of utensils, a full set of potsand pans, dish towels, trivets, cutting boards and cooking sheets! We love to cook together when we travel and this kitchen was big enough for 2! We got some amazing pictures all over the farm. The lack of light pollution allowed us to enjoy the stars and Pink Full Moon in all their glory! We will be back to enjoy this cottage again!

we had a great experience. it's very tranquil and a very nice get away. I needed it and had a quiet night enjoying the hot tub, playing board games and just relaxing away from the real world.

Everything was great and we had a wonderful time!

My favorite Airbnb stay ever. The pictures don’t do the scenery justice. Warm and cozy and takes you back in time while still having modern conveniences. The hiking trails were great.

I’ve been in some more rustic conditions with Airbnb lately, but this house was clean and in good condition overall. It was right by the water and just perfect for what we needed.

This is the third time we have stayed here and it never disappoints. Clean, well furnished, great location convenient to Orange, Gordonsville, Charlottesville and lots of local wineries to explore. Will keep coming back as it is great for our girl's weekend trips. On this trip we tried our artistic side at making glass frames and bowls at the Glass Palette in Charlottesville as well as checking out the excellent Barn 78 winery in Barboursville. Highly recommend both as well as Patti's place for a quiet, peaceful and fun weekend away!

The Nest is nothing short of magical. Perched high above Chester Gap Valley, it feels like a slice of paradise—a serene haven wrapping you in a warm embrace. The calm, comfort, and peace are amplified by the rolling hills and tranquil surroundings. If you're escaping the hustle of DC or seeking a refreshing retreat, this is it. Julie is the epitome of a gracious host. Her warm hospitality shines through every detail of this impeccable home. Beyond its pristine cleanliness, it exudes charm and character, showcasing the care and love poured into crafting this beautiful space. From the unique decor to the thoughtful touches, it's not just a stay—it's an experience. As we departed, our spirits felt lifted, refreshed, and inspired. Without a doubt, this was one of our best Airbnb stays. We will certainly return. If you're scrolling through listings unsure, don't worry—you'll just *know*. Trust your instincts; The Nest is the one.

Mary Scott and Mark's cottage was a wonderful little getaway. The cottage was quaint and cozy. Check-in instructions were very clear and our hosts were very responsive. It was a great location with beautiful surroundings and had many things to do within a 20-25 min radius. Downtown Charlottesville and Monticello were close by and were great day activities. We also really enjoyed the Glass House Winery which was about 5 min away. Beautiful home, highly recommend!

Great place!! We really enjoyed our stay. Mary provided everything we needed...even extras. We brought some steak to grill and Mary provided a charcoal grill with charcoal so we could cook out. Sh also provided some great local hiking options. We'll definitely be back when in Charlottesville!! Thank you Mary!!

The Yurt was just what we were looking for: very close to Old Rag, quiet, private and clean. The fire pit was a great evening activity and we are very thankful for all the firewood on hand. Tom had many recommendations and we felt prepared for the stay. Thanks for your hospitality

We loved using the pool and the patio/grill area. The view and the landscaping are beautiful. The owner was helpful and responsive; she supplied firewood and charcoal. Plenty of dining space both indoors and out. Good A/C.

The cabin was perfect for staying with our two kids. The playrooms and well stocked kitchen and rooms made it easy to keep them entertained and relax in the mountains. Thank you for your hospitality!

Brad and Stacey‘s loft was exactly as described. The loft was extremely squeaky clean. The bed and pillows were over the top comfy. My daughter will be going to James Madison University and I have a feeling that I will be using this loft many times in the future. Thank you to Stacey and Brad for hosting us.

Fantastic stay overall. The host was very responsive, friendly and accommodating. We made an oversight during our booking in that we didn't notify in advance that we were bringing a pet, but once we explained the issue and discussed it with the host, she was very accommodating and allowed us to pay the pet deposit and stay. She has two small puppers who tagged along with us on several walks around the property (highly recommend walking up Bruce's Mountain for a spectacular view!). Would happily return for another stay in the future.

Comfortable beds, super clean hot tub and such a nice place to spend spring break. Excellent communication and very pleasant hosts. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future trips.

Our family of four spent two nights at Callie's Cottage. We had a great time enjoying the trails, fishing the pond, and watching the horses. Our kids had a lot of fun playing in the treehouse. The house was cozy, clean and well appointed.

We had a wonderful time and plenty of space for everyone. We felt at home and it had everything we needed! Thank you Tearyn and Michael!

Really nice place. Lovely and peaceful and just what we needed
