Clearly a Great Escape!

Overall fabulous stay! Fully furnished Cabin with fenced in backyard for our dogs to play in. Conveniently located close to Luray, NC and local attractions like Luray Caverns and Antique Car Museum. Just off the beaten path for privacy with a few neighbors all around. Great for two couples to get away for a long weekend!

Cozy, convenient & well-equipped

One of my best ever VRBO experiences! This is a lovely, well-designed house with top-notch kitchen appliances, nice porch & deck, gas grill & hot tub. We were two older couples getting together and going to see the sights in Shenandoah National Park. For hikers, there's an entrance to George Washington National Forest just a few yards from the house. The hosts were gracious, helpful and very responsive. Highly recommend this VRBO!

This home is simply perfect. Clean, cozy, and charming. Sumptuous beds and linens, the hot tub under the stars, and morning coffee on the porch. It was just what we needed. Our hosts were on top of everything, including my request that the AC be on when we arrived on a hot afternoon. Thanks, Don and Lina

Great Weekend Away!

My husband and I stayed at the Great Escape with another couple and our dog. Before we even arrived, the owners sent out extensive information about things to do and what was nearby which was very helpful! The house was the perfect size for all of us and the fenced in back yard was perfect for our dog. We highly recommend this house!

Shenandoah Get Away

This is probably one of the cleanest properties we have ever stayed in. They have everything you need right at the cabin. Short drive to Luray and Shenandoah National Park. Girls loved unwinding in the hot tub after long days of hiking. Even our dog enjoyed the mini getaway.

This is the cleanest and most organized VRBO we have ever stayed at! Don and Lina were very responsive everytime we had a question. Their property is located within 30 min of Skyline Drive and several caverns and has a gated yard our two small dogs loved. Front and back porch are great to relax on!.
