Cottage holiday rentals in Luray

Ana and Nick, thank you so much for hosting us at your beautiful home. The quaintness of your place, the warm welcome card, the bottle of wine, and the exceptional hospitality we received were truly amazing. We would highly recommend your place to anyone looking for a memorable stay with breathtaking views and cozy home finishes. Thank you, we’ll certainly return when we return to the area!

This was truly the best airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. It’s beautiful, has amazing views that we thought were even more beautiful than the pictures lead on, all of the bedrooms were spacious, stylish and offered very comfortable king sized beds besides the children’s room with the painted mountains - (there’s were cozy too just not king sized beds besides). The lot is huge and has enough space that’s not sloped to play games, etc. It had all of the amenities we wanted, very clean, huge windows throughout. We met our friends there who also have 2 young kids and we had no complaints about safety issues, etc, and our kids ranged from 6 months to 5 y/o. Outstanding space! If I’m in Luray again, we would stay there for sure!

Another great stay. The house is beautifully decorated, the hot tub is clean and clear, and the location is peaceful. We spent a lot of time at the Winchester Historic Walking Mall, and discovered the Shenandoah Valley Children’s museum where my 20 month old had a blast.

My husband and I and our 1 year old met my parents here for Mothers Day weekend, and it was just as past reviews said… WONDERFUL!! The house is clean, charming with river views, inserted into nature and fully stocked (including travel cribs, high chairs and baby books). We had the best time enjoying grilling, the fire pit, the hot tub each night and watching the sunset from the top deck or dock down at the water. Path to water = steep but my parents in their late 60s (and carrying a 1 year old) did just fine taking their time. Though they did max out at 2x round trips :) Definely rent the pontoon!! We did for 1 day and felt that was plenty. We didn’t leave the house for 4 days and loved every minute. From yoga on the porch, to fishing with some cheap fishing gear purchased at Walmart 20min away. We took walks, my husband explore the riverbank for arrowheads. Tons of books to read at property!! We saw wild turkey, red fox, lots of deer. 100% coming back!! Frank and Grace are GREAT!!

We had an amazing girls' weekend! The house was cozy, spotless and perfect for our group. Dolly & Brendan were super responsive and gave us terrific recommendations for local restaurants and wineries - everything we tried was a hit. We loved being able to sit outside and unwind by the firepit. Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay! We were here for our elopement in Shenandoah National Park and this location was perfect. The AirBnb was clean, it had beautiful surroundings, and all of the amenities were great!! Colton gave us awesome local recommendations as well. We will definitely be back!

The stay was beautiful and private! After staying in the suburbs and city for a while, this was a good change of pace. We enjoyed staying in the peaceful home. We will definitely come back again!!

My wife and i came out here to celebrate her 26th birthday with our 2 dogs enjoying long days of hiking and seeing the beautiful mountains and greenery. Coming back to the cottage felt like coming home, and the hot tub made it all the more worth while. Beautiful area, it felt secluded but not away from civilization. Would recommend to anyone looking for a homey stay! Will absolutely be returning in the future!

Three of us went for a working weekend to cast a vision for a ministry at our church. Patti’s place was immaculate, comfortable and oh so peaceful. We enjoyed the rockers on the porch, large yard and the beautiful rural surrounding of well kept neighboring homes. Perfect for a getaway or for anyone attending a wedding at The Market at Grelen. We went there for lunch and a hike before we checked in.

Our favorite pet-friendly place to stay when we visit Charlottesville! Great setting and convenient to nature and our favorite places to visit.

My family stayed at this cottage during our wedding at UVA. This place offers a secluded, quiet and picturesque hideout while still being a mere five minutes away from university grounds. The interior is cosy and well-equipped. Besides the front yard there is a very pleasant, private outside patio area too, filled with birdsong. The cottage is also close to Oakhurst Café, which is a convenient breakfast option. The hosts were helpful, responsive, and flexible, showing great hospitality.

Cozy, adorable little cottage close to downtown! It has everything you need for a short or long stay, and plenty of room for a doggo. Amazing shower and cozy bed! Only ‘complaint,’ which is not even one, is that it got chilly inside at night and the heater was a bit difficult to use to raise the heat. Overall a wonderful weekend stay!

Hilary cottage was just perfect for the our one night stay. Felt right at home our 3 year old loved it and so did our doggy :)

We have stayed at this home many times because- a.) They have a fenced-in backyard so it is nice to be able to let out our dogs without worrying about them running away and b.) we love hiking at Lost River State Park which is just a short 12 minute ride to from the house, and c. It is a beautiful quaint home- very peaceful and has all the amenities we need.

This was a perfect place for a peaceful getaway. The fireplace was a treat, and we had a very cozy stay. It's hard to add to what other reviewers have already said, but here is one detail: on a winter's night, when the moon is down and the sky is clear, the stars are fantastic! Because there is no nearby light pollution, the view from the deck of the night sky is deep and brilliant.

This cottage is beautiful, clean, very private and quiet. The home has all you would need and the finishes are higher end. There are so many windows to view the gorgeous grounds and creek. It is even nicer than the pictures. The host, Barb, was very easy to work with and very nice. I would definitely go back.

This is the third year we’ve come back to the Gatekeeper Cottage and it’s just as wonderful as always, Adrianne and Brick are very friendly hosts! We hope to come back again in the summer even if just for a day to enjoy the house in another season. Thank you again for having us back!

A thoughtfully put together little cabin! Had all the basic kitchen supplies you would need, the bathroom was nice, the water got good and hot, the air conditioner worked well, etc. The host was responsive and helpful, the goats were very cute, and the place was very clean. I would note it was not bug proof--there were quite a few earwigs that made themselves at home as well. earwigs in the coffee! earwigs in the bed! and, hopefully, earwigs in your heart <3 They're a pretty mild and inoffensive bug, though. No issues with mosquitos, etc. Also plenty of attractions within a reasonable driving distance--we checked out some caverns, some hiking, and some nice local restaurants.

This home was beautifully maintained, with really livable layout, warm and colorful decor, comfie furnishings and bed, warm blanket for porch sitting, sweet little table with mountain view off the bedroom. Lovely kitchen. Meditation/reading/yoga area, wonderful wide selection of books. Windows everywhere, three outside sitting areas, lots of natural light AND bright lights to read by. Coffee provided:). Big bathroom and shower. Really couldn't be better. Incredibly quiet at night. Loved the sweet cows in the pasture. Thank you Jim for being so welcoming!

Lovely, comfortable cottage. Very convenient to all things Madison County. Feels like home. We would love to stay again when we return to the area. Thank you!

The cottage was a perfect place for my daughter and her new husband’s wedding night and weekend! Christina made their stay so special. She was able to help me with surprising the newlyweds with a basket of goodies, fresh baked goodies, and drinks! They loved the surprise especially after a long day! The host was incredibly kind, helpful amd responsive! The cottage was so cute and very clean! Great location! Close to their wedding venue and local wineries and breweries! Highly recommend!

This is our second time staying at Tranquil cottage. It's a beautiful, clean, and comfortable place to stay close to Charlottesville and feels like home. We love the peaceful atmosphere and all the animal friends. And Cynthia is a great host. We'll definitely be back again.

Most places we looked at had tons of neighbors and didn’t have much privacy. This place has a large yard, wooded area in the back. We had 3 deer to watch every morning and before dusk each night. Town is 5 minutes away down a small and beautiful winding road. You could stay there the whole vacation and let the kids play in a safe environment. Very light traffic on the road. Definitely take the drive going East once, beautiful drive.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb near Luray. The views were absolutely stunning — peaceful mountains and rolling hills all around. We visited the Luray Caverns, which were truly breathtaking, and made a stop in Woodstock for some amazing BBQ. The house was cozy, clean, and perfect for relaxing with friends. We spent our evenings laughing, playing games, and enjoying the quiet. It was the perfect spot to unwind and make lasting memories.
