Farmhouse on Ranch! Mountains, Horses & Cattle

Welcome to Big Oak Manor & Ranch, circa 1892! Renovated farmhouse in Luray, Virginia with sunrise/set views on a working ranch. Remote worker paradise! Enjoy morning coffee or evening spirits outdoors over a campfire with a peaceful backdrop of rolling hills, classic red barn and mountains. Grab some local produce and spoil yourself with our chef`s kitchen. Serve meals on our 8’ farm table in front of a large picture window watching our cattle and horses graze. Farm eggs and firewood available.

Hosts have over 800 5-star reviews! Beautifully restored countryside manor house nestled on a 30-acre working ranch. Sunrise and sunset views over the mountains are almost as stunning as the large kitchen picture window that allows you to observe the horses and cattle while gathering for meals at the 10-person farm table. Spoil yourself by preparing fresh, local produce in our chef’s kitchen. Cozy up next to one of THREE fireplaces, enjoy a good book in one of the many reading nooks, or grab a partner or friends for some spirited games. Let your little ones splash around in the creek and enjoy campfires around the Solo stove. If you must, get some work done and knock out those video calls using our fast internet. Order some of our fresh farm eggs and firewood for your visit.

We have renovated our 200+ year-old barn for a wedding/event venue for up to 150 people. When we do not have events, we open up the farmhouse for a family friendly getaway. A few minutes to the Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, Luray Golf Course, and George Washington National Forest and a 40-minute drive to Massanutten or Bryce Resorts for skiing and snow tubing.

Big Oak Manor is perfect for groups of 8-10. 4 BR, 2BA, lots of space!
