Longer Stays

Good to know
This is a nature-forward setting, and while the deck and walkways are cleaned before each arrival, seasonal leaves or pollen may still be present. WiFi is provided, though service can occasionally be slower due to the remote location. The home is family-friendly and pet-friendly for dogs. Cats are not allowed due to allergies. Self check-in with a lockbox and free parking on the property make arrival simple.
Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub on an evening, exploring nearby trails and caverns, or enjoying unhurried time together indoors, Nature’s Nook offers a peaceful place to settle in and enjoy the season.
Note
Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but due to the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or similar—especially during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature tends to leave its mark, no matter how often we tidy up!
Pet Policy
We’re happy to welcome dogs to join you on your getaway! Please note that due to allergies, we’re unable to accommodate cats. A $29 pet fee applies per furry friend, per night to help cover additional cleaning and care. Thanks for understanding—we look forward to hosting you and your pup!
Wi-Fi is provided, but due to the remote setting, service can sometimes be slower or spotty. We suggest downloading any essential content in advance.

Needs Some Maintenance
We enjoyed the area. I expected the upkeep to be a little better. The hot tub wasn't working, but it was pretty hot out when we were there, so not a big loss. Couldn't use the closet because open to the attic and made bedroom hard to cool. The bathrooms are next to each other and not near one bedroom, so having two isn't really adding value. Bathroom fan should be replaced with quiet unit. Loved having air conditioning, washer and dryer and fun games.

We had a great time staying here and using the house as a base for hiking. The kids loved the football table and the hot tub was clean and hot!

Wonderful House in Nature
We had a great time staying in the Nature Nook. We loved how close the house was to the Shenandoah River Rafting Adventures. Driving into Luray to explore the caverns and town didn’t take long.
We received a text to make sure that everything in the house was satisfactory for our stay. The communication was so timely and helpful.
Our kids enjoyed playing foosball, and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch listening to an afternoon thunderstorm. We enjoyed our stay.

Great stay!
Great stay! Great host - Tony and team were only a text away & fast at communicating! The location of the cabin is in a very quiet neighborhood that's an easy drive to the town of Luray. We brought our dog and he enjoyed our walks in the neighborhood and we took him to a few parks (lots of choices and variety). Things we loved about the cabin were the porch, the BBQ (missing in their cooking utensils - bring your own), the fire pit (buying logs is easy as many locations on the way to the cabin sell bundles), fully stocked kitchen to prepare your meals and eat out on the front porch, comfortable beds, nice showers. Didn't get around to using the hot tub, but it looked very nice and inviting. Our only complaint was that the cabin indicates that it has reliable WIFI and you can stream shows. This was not the case. The WIFI was very slow to non existent. So, if you are planning to work from the cabin or catch up on shows, this is not a good place to accomplish either. Although initially frustrated, we enjoyed being disconnected from outside distractions and instead connected with our family traveling with us playing games during our down time which the cabin has lots to offer. When we needed WIFI, to get some work done during the day, we found a café in town that had strong, reliable WIFI. If you want to watch shows - download them before you go. Other than this minor inconvenience, we had a fabulous stay and would stay again in the future.
