  • Eight foot tall hedges creating a pathway of puzzlement, misting fog, and endless confusion! Travel past fountains, through hidden tunnels, and over a lookout tower. ​ Navigate your way through twists and turns while searching for hidden goals on a mission to discover the secret of the maze. Unravel the mystery of the largest hedge maze in the Mid-Atlantic states - a one acre ornamental garden at Luray Caverns. It is a fun filled activity for people of all age groups. The Garden of Maze is right next to the Luray Caverns. So if you plan a trip to see Luray Caverns, you can visit the maze too. Just let loose, get lost and be found at the maze ;) Tip: The view from the lookout tower is beautiful like this one. Just sit back, take in the beauty and relax here. Also, its fun to see people getting lost in the maze ;P

  • The beautiful tiger at the Luray Rescue Zoo. This zoo holds animals that are unable to be cared for any more or should never have become House pets to begin with. The man that owns the place was born and raised in an animal loving family and his respect and love for the animals show through his interactions and knowledge. You can schedule a behind the scenes tour of the zoo if you call ahead. During this tour I was able to pet a porcupine, feeds goats, feed bananas to a lemur, and feed the tiger pictured.

Great home base for hiking

We wanted a simple place to stay close to hiking, fishing and quiet. This was all of those. We were able to do a number of hikes as skyline drive and still come back for a hot tub and quiet evening. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well appointed. Exactly what we expected and wanted. Will stay again if we are back in the area

Weekend getaway

We had an extremely relaxing stay. The area is gorgeous…loved being close to the water. We brought our dog and it was great to let him run and play and just be a dog. Did have a few issues with a few appliances, but the host was super quick to bring a new remote and coffee pot. All in all we would stay again!

Amazing property

This is our 2nd time here and we plan on coming back. The property is secluded but close to all the area attractions and places to eat. The kids had a blast running around all the open space and playing in the river. The cool nights were perfect for relaxing in the hot tub and looking at the night sky. Would recommend to anyone. The house was clean and correspondence with the owners was easy and timely

A True Getaway

If you are looking to step back in time / this is your place. A 1900s farm house located an easy walk to the River.The house has a huge kitchen, living spaces and 2 bedrooms. We stayed in the room facing the mountains a perfect view!Our pup Skye the world was his oyster, running, rolling, wading and loving life! The fire pit near the river was unprotected on a windy day so we used the one next to the house. A lovely end to the day. The WiFi, and TV were sort of spotty, so just relax and enjoy nature.

Solitude

This has an old farmhouse vibe. We really enjoyed our stay. The pictures in the listing are accurate. Easy walk to the Shenandoah River. The farmhouse is at the end of a gravel road and very secluded. Just what we were looking for. We watched about 20 wild turkeys hunting for food in the morning and saw many deer at all times of the day.

The views

Location is perfect as we were staying to visit Luray caverns. House was bigger than expected and rooms were a decent size. Beds were also very comfortable. The walk to the river was easy and beautiful (we drove to the chairs). Being slightly ocd the inside of the house could use a deep cleaning, lots of dust! But overall we had the best time.and would stay here again!

Perfect Labor Day Getaway

We had a great stay at this riverfront home! It was so quiet and relaxing, sitting on the porch in the evenings was the best. We enjoyed walking down to the river from the house and the proximity to Luray and Skyline Drive was perfect. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend to friends!
