Family-friendly holiday rentals in McGaheysville

This house was a phenomenal stay for my wedding weekend. I love old southern houses and this place blew me away. Katie was very accommodating and responsive.

this cabin was a gem! Just what I was looking for. My fiancee father lives in Luray and we wanted to surprise him and come down for father's day, but I also wanted a romantic, remote getaway for us. this was perfect! we surprised his dad, were able to spend time with him in Luray, but still had a beautiful cabin to retreat to, with a hot tub! And our dog was very welcomed. I loved the little added touches!

This is a beautiful property very close to Shenandoah National park! My group of 5 friends had a great time. Kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed too. Hot tub was a nice touch too.

We had a really nice time at the cabin. Everything was laid out very nicely and was ready for us the moment we arrived. The space is beautiful and right on the lake. It was extremely peaceful to sit in the large screened deck and hang out with the stunning lake in view. Hope to stay here again some day!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here very much. The check in process was easy, views were great, hot tub was nice. Only complaints would be the bed as it was not comfy/very squeaky. We would definitely consider staying here again next time we visit Shenandoah National Park.

The only part of the stay that didn't get 5 stars was that it wasn't quite as secluded as I'd hoped for. There are a number of homes on the road to the cabin, and a thin line of trees breaks the view. Admittedly unless you're looking for the other houses you don't notice them, so I got past that quickly enough. That said, the cabin was perfect, clean, cozy and everything worked as stated. Having grown up in the country, but living in a city now, I felt the stress melt away as soon as I stepped into the massive yard where my son and I spent a lot of time playing soccer and other sports. My son and wife really enjoyed the hot tub. The location is 15 minutes away from Luray which meant that the stars were amazing for the brief break in the clouds we got, but that it was close enough to get groceries and take out as needed. Plus it's about 20 minutes away from Front Royal so there are places to go and enjoy like Skyline or Luray Caverns. Jackie was a great and responsive host!

The Fox Den is one of the cleanest places we've ever stayed. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the hot tub, roasting marshmallows at the outdoor fireplace, grilling steak, and simply relaxing for a couple of days. The cottage had everything we needed for cooking and grilling. Although the cottage and hot tub are located next to the main house, we still felt a sense of privacy. We've been visiting different Airbnbs annually in the VA and PA areas, and the location of this one was excellent. We followed two of the recommendations from the provided guidebook, and they were amazing (Carter's Mountain Orchard and Fiorano Restaurant).

The cabin was perfect for our anniversary getaway. It was spotless, quiet, well-appointed, very comfortable, and with incredible views from the long porch--which helpfully had chairs and small tables. After an afternoon of hiking in Shenandoah National Park, it was wonderful to just relax on the porch. We also appreciated the gas fireplace at night. The hot tub was also super clean (unlike those at some other Airbnbs). Helpful signs about which switches work which lights, where to find things, etc. And Jim and Lisa were extremely responsive via messages, and they also provided a lot of info about the area, through Airbnb and in the cabin. Thank you both!

Great spot to stay if visiting the eastern area for wineries! They helped us find a shuttle driver for our day and it was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed the deck with fire pit for evenings. There was a kitchen but pans were worn and not enough cutting boards, however much better than other air bnbs we have stayed in. Just something to keep in mind if you plan to cook! Lots of games. Would return!!!

Only suggestions they need another frying Pan and Maybe a few other pans for Kitchen. Place was Super nice! Definitely would recommend

Just what I needed…. Sitting on the porch listening to the river, watching the thunderstorm from the front porch, walking barefoot in the holler (I grew up near this house) or eating out at Vinny’s were the highlights to the weekend. There is also a birds nest in the hanging plant. The mama comes and goes. Very entertaining or watching the spider on the side rail spin the web in hopes to catch something good to eat. You have a wonderful place here! So peaceful

Couldn’t have asked for a better place for a girls weekend! The view was better than the photos, peaceful and comfortable!! I HIGHLY recommend this place!

We loved our relaxing stay- we sat by the fire, watched movies, played pool, and skied and hiked during our visit. The beds were super comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The host provided extras that were unexpected- handsoap, shower toiletries and a welcome basket of chocolate. So sweet! The house was spacious for our family of 6. I loved that we could all be together and then retreat to our own spaces for sleep.

Cozy yurt in a charming little private campground situated immediately next to the Shenandoah River. Can’t beat the location- you could fish, swim or go for a float right out your front door. The yurt was clean and well-equipped for “glamping” purposes with a few small appliances, a fan and an AC unit to keep it comfortable. Warning… the futon is not as comfy as a bed but it does the job. A picnic table is available for outdoor cooking purposes. The bathhouse was clean and warm however the shower water does smell a bit “sulfur-y”. Check-in and check-out was easy and

This place is a great getaway for those who want a peaceful place to disconnect. We loved the rustic cabin feel and being able to walk out to the pond and fish. Jane was very responsive and helpful the entire trip. We would absolutely recommend to anyone. Would love to book this again in the future!

This was our second stay in one of Ryanne and Jay's places; we wanted to return because we really like their way of hosting both in terms of warm, friendly, responsive communication, and it's also always clear that they've really thought through what guests might like and need for a good stay. The house was really well equipped for cooking and they had thought through lots of details which made the stay really lovely. We weren't traveling with kids but there was lots in the house for kids. It's a bit of a drive into Luray but the tradeoff is a beautiful setting and remarkable peace and quiet and the house is closer to the National Park entrance.

We loved using the pool and the patio/grill area. The view and the landscaping are beautiful. The owner was helpful and responsive; she supplied firewood and charcoal. Plenty of dining space both indoors and out. Good A/C.

The cabin was perfect for staying with our two kids. The playrooms and well stocked kitchen and rooms made it easy to keep them entertained and relax in the mountains. Thank you for your hospitality!

This was an amazing and beautiful cabin! The cabin was very spacious and was perfect for what we needed. Owners were very proactive and responsive and communicative. I appreciated that there were no surprises and if anything came up, they would be able to respond in a timely manner. Would definitely stay here again!

Great mountain house! House was clean and had everything we needed. The host sent us local recommendations and checkin/out was easy!

Cute little place on a stunningly beautiful property! Our host was always responsive. We'd love to come back!

We had a wonderful getaway at Seths place in Rockingham. Perfect location for a group of 12 girlfriends that wanted to relax. Loved the pool and the porch/patio! Felt like Tuscany. Seth and Carla were extremely responsive to the couple of small issues we had. Definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful time and plenty of space for everyone. We felt at home and it had everything we needed! Thank you Tearyn and Michael!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Close enough to all the hikes we wanted to do. Pet friendly (huge for us) and beautiful views! Please make sure you read the whole listing, as you definitely need a vehicle with 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. We brought our own towels, sheets, and so on as stated and everything else we needed was available. Would recommend bringing dish towels. We had forgotten them this trip. Cooking pots and pans are little outdated but they’re just fine! We had a wonderful taco night anniversary dinner at the cabin and throughly enjoyed a nice soak in the hot tub. There’s a very nice above ground pool also but it was too cold this time of year to swim in. I would definitely stay again!
