Virginias Farmstay

A world of subterranean wonders, a milestone in geological discoveries, Luray caverns, is a wonderful weekend getaway for those who are living near DC or Virginia. It is around 2 hours (or more) drive from washington DC.
This is a picture of the "Dream Lake", a spring of water which has a mirror-like appearance. Stalactites are reflected in the water making them appear to be stalagmites. This gives an illusion that the lake is deeper. The lake is connected to a spring that continues deeper into the caverns.
All in all, it was my first time exploring caverns. It was a fun filled day, learning the stories of the cavern.

Tips:
1) It is very crowded on weekends and holidays. If you want to enjoy peaceful, slow paced, less crowded tour of the caverns, go on weekdays.
2) If you visit the caverns, look for these things-
Saracen's tent - scarves and shawls of translucent calcite, falling in graceful folds, fringed with a thousand patterns, and so thin that a candle light can reveal the structure within!
The fried eggs formation - yes, it looks like fried eggs ;)
The Great Stalacpipe Organ - An actual organ which plays music- sounds of Stalactites! DO NOT miss this one!

Top Virginias Hotel Reviews

Arlington Court Suites, a Clarion Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and professional staff "

Surfbreak Virginia Beach Oceanfront, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"We were there for a run weekend and it was very busy. Our room was very clean and the beds were comfy. Natalie at the front desk was very welcoming and lovely. This is not a fancy property but the rooms were clean, the balconies over look the ocean and we were only a mile from the start."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Virginia Beach (Oceanfront)

6/10 Okay

"Rooms were clean, beds were ok, bathroom shower took FOREVER to walm up. Door of bathroom is a sliding door which wasn’t great, the door kept coming off the rail. Breakfast also just ok, not well stocked through the morning, pretty boring and tasteless sadly. Old hotel I think they are trying to upkeep but renovations. Parking garage is an absolute nightmare to navigate. We will not stay here again."
