Peaceful quiet getaway. Felt completely at home

This is a beautiful property and a very peaceful location. There are plenty of places to sit and relax around the property and around the cottage - dock, hammocks, fire pit, screened-in porch. The cottage we stayed in was very well-kept and had everything we needed for our 4-night stay. Keith was very responsive, helpful, and friendly. This is definitely a place where we intend to stay again.

We had a great time in Luray! We came to celebrate my husband's birthday and we brought our two boys (ages 3 and 1). We visited the Luray caverns, Shenandoah National Park, walked/ran along the Luray-Hawksbill Greenway and had some local coffee/food. Bo's place was spotless and perfectly private. The boys loved running around the property and we all enjoyed the hot tub and fire place! My husband and I shared the pull-out bed , which was not comfortable, but there was plenty of extra blankets and padding to put on top which helped. Our boys shared the bedroom, and they slept great! Overall, we had a fantastic stay and we will be back again!

WOW! What an absolutely amazing BnB :) We booked Scott and Courtney's home for a weekend retreat for my partner's 30th birthday with some friends, and it could not have been more perfect! Huge shout out to Courtney for being so responsive with GREAT recommendations and accommodating us. Truly, this was a wonderful experience, and we felt right at home and cozy during our weekend retreat.

Sara was always responsive to our queries and the place was clean and homey. The lit-up Christmas tree was a pleasant surprise. The kids felt right at home in the game rooms and the adults found everything they needed. Instructions were clear. It was a perfect home away from home for our family. Sara is a super awesome host!

The small home cabin was a joy to stay in, and left you wanting for nothing more. An introvert's escape for sure. You can really tell how much effort the host put into this home, including how thoughtful they were to the guest's needs. Depending where you enter the driveway from it can be a surprisingly long gravel road drive, and there are some steep hills to climb to reach this particular cabin. We managed with a FWD car without much trouble, just use your vehicle momentum wisely up the steep hills. If going out for breakfast the Gathering Grounds Patisserie & Cafe comes highly recommended.

We had a wonderful trip and great time. Enjoyed the cleanliness, backyard with fire pit and perfect location.

I stayed here with my 9 and 11 year old boys and they absolutely loved the kids bedroom upstairs and the loft. The house was exactly as pictured and honestly the pictures don’t do it justice. We stayed here in order to visit Shenandoah and Luray and I also loved how close this house was to George Wash National Forest which is also very beautiful and on the drive to Luray. Kinga was an amazing host and super responsive the whole time. I would definitely stay here again. It was close enough to town to make a grocery run or go to a restaurant but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to unwind by the river. Thanks for an amazing week!

I had a wonderful stay at this cozy mountain cottage! The home was spotless and well-equipped with everything I needed- fast Wi-Fi, modern appliances, and a super comfortable layout. I especially loved the wood-burning fireplace and the peaceful outdoor area with a fire pit and grill- perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The location felt quiet and tucked away, but still close enough to everything I needed. Highly recommend for a relaxing and refreshing getaway!

Super cute place with a phenomenal view. It was very welcoming, with a s’mores packet left for us. There’s a cute guest book which shows everyone’s favorite things to do and great inspiration of things to do. Reception isn’t the greatest but that’s not what this vacation was about.

My fiancé, pup, and I booked this place for a relaxing valentine’s weekend getaway, and we got exactly that! The cottage was charming and such a peaceful oasis with the beautiful views and farm animals in clear sight. The hosts were kind enough to leave us farm fresh eggs, muffins, and valentine’s themed chocolates — all were delicious and well appreciated! Additionally, they were very responsive and extremely friendly :) My fiancé and I spent time cooking dinner together, I baked, and watercolored, it was a lovely time! I highly recommend this place and hope to be back!

Beautiful cabin. Loved the area. There’s a pond and boat behind the house. Make sure you bring bug spray!

We had a very good time! The home was nice inside and out. What made me feel more satisfied was the location of this place waking up in morning, going outside to get some sun was very nice and peaceful. Also Joseph was quick to respond to my messages.Would go back again!

Our stay at Raven Ridge was great! It was lovely to wake up to the beautiful mountain view and have coffee on the front porch surrounded by apple trees. It was peaceful and private, and a great place to come back to after exploring Shenandoah and surrounding areas. The place was spotless, but had quite a few pesky insects (not surprising giving the location). We didn't find the fly swatter until we were checking out and it wasn't a big deal to us, but just of note. There wasn't firewood stocked/supplies for the fire pit that we saw, but I'm sure if we wanted to use it Sarah would've been responsive and accommodating. We loved the included cider tasting too! Overall, this stay was pretty much perfect and couldn't have asked for a more relaxing and beautiful place to stay!

We stayed in one of Sarah’s adorable cottages on an apple orchard with stellar views. Even got to visit the cider barn. Close by to Harrisonburg and several great caverns to explore. Great place for a few nights! Sarah was available when need be. Overall great experience!

We enjoyed staying at Taby's place, it was very cozy with everything we needed! Taby was quick to respond to any questions that we had, we would love to stay again if we're ever in Virginia.

The cottage/house was as described and wonderful. The location was perfect to explore the many nearby hiking and outdoors options. The property itself has an excellent view. The fenced in yard was convenient for our dog. Inside everything was clean and well-maintained. There were a number of nice touches to make you feel at home. There was everything one would need and more. I needed to work remotely one day and the WiFi was very reliable. Great stay!

Had an excellent stay at this Airbnb! The space was spotless, exactly as described, and the check-in process was a breeze. Communication with the host was smooth and helpful throughout, and the location was convenient and easy to find. This place offers fantastic value, especially with the added perks – a TV with Netflix, a strong hot and cold water supply, and a spacious backyard filled with fun games. The night sky was beautiful, making the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for a memorable stay!

The location of this place was rural, that being said my whole family loved seeing a herd of deer at dusk every night crossing through the field. It had all the amenities needed. We appreciated all the kid amenities.

This place was PERFECT!! From the view, to the cows, to the cozy home! We’d stay here a million times over. My two year old daughter and pups couldn’t get enough of the giant fenced yard. The only negative thing I would say is that I can’t buy this place for ourselves!!! Thanks Matt & Kelly for an unforgettable weekend away with the whole family!

We wanted a peaceful mountain get away, close to lots of hiking. We found it at Koren's place. It has all the amenities of a modern home - reliable wifi, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, deluxe hot tub, modern bathroom, comfortable screened-in porch. Could not have imagined a better place for our weekend get-away. Also, Koren was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!
