The Great Escape - Near everything yet off the beaten path

Located in the Shenandoah Valley our cabin is located on a quiet street on a 1/2 acre lot. The backyard is fenced for big and small dogs. On the back porch is a nice gas grill. A few steps down is a hot tub. The hot tub is nice especially when returning home from a day of hiking in the Shenandoah National Park which is only 20 minutes away. Inside the home are two bedrooms, each with a king size bed. We furnish wireless internet and satellite TV. I will email you a list of activities that are all close to our cabin. There is something for everyone at The Great Escape.

Peaceful stay in nature

The cabin was very comfortable with a modern kitchen comfy beds, nice bathrooms. It was clean with good linens on the beds. And towels in the bathrooms. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch enjoying the birdsong in the morning and the frogs in the evening.

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!

Perfect Getaway

This property checked all the boxes for our Shenandoah getaway. The cabin is perfectly located, nestled in a quiet neighborhood right at the trail head for The George Washington National Forest. There is a great general store, Kites, right at the beginning of the street, we went there daily for coffee, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, local products, etc. The cabin is a short drive to downtown Luray (we enjoyed Gathering Grounds coffee and walking the Hawksbill Greenway path through town). The Thorton Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Forest is a 20 minute drive from Luray and a great starting point to explore the park. The cabin itself is spacious, clean and loaded with amenities (laundry, gas fireplace, 2 bathrooms, outdoor hot tub, gas grill, etc.). We particularly enjoyed having a large fenced in backyard to let our dog out. The owners were prompt and courteous in all correspondence and made booking this stay a breeze. Will definitely return in the future.

Cousins' Weekend

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

Our great escape

My (now!) fiancee and I were celebrating our 10 year dating anniversary and wanted to get away with our two baby bears (Bernese mountain dogs are the best if you didn't know!) for a staycation within a few hours of the DMV. The Great Escape came up in a pet friendly search, (after an already exhaustive search elsewhere) and seemed to check all of the proverbial boxes (and boy, did it). Not only was the property beautiful, well maintained, clean, well stocked, close enough to everything (but far away, too!), and as serene as we could ask for, it was the perfect place for our bears to run around and play (for the 5 minutes they want to) in a safe, fenced in environment!The side quest of this mission, though, was to surprise my girlfriend with an engagement, and all she ever asked for was it to just be us, somewhere quiet and meaningful, with some record of it happening. There are beautiful cherry blossoms in front of the house, which luckily were in bloom, and I was able to propose while (sneakily) video'ing instead of taking pictures. It was a perfect moment, in the perfect setting, and fortunately, even after making her wait 10 years, she said yes!Don and Linda were amazing hosts who provided us, both before and during our stay, plenty of information, local places to visit/see, all of the amenities we could ask for, comfy beds to lay our heads on, and the pet friendliness you won't get from anywhere else. It truly was our great escape, and one of our greatest memories.

Such a nice getaway and so very cozy. We spent the weekend here as a getaway following our wedding. It was a quiet area and the layout was great for me with mobility issues and the yard is incredible and a great place for dogs, we had our service animals with us and the amenities they provided for dogs were great too. We will definitely try to stay again.
