About this property

The Shuck!

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. Peaceful cabin with over 1,400 sqft of living space. It has a large private lot giving you privacy but still close enough to the wonderful quaint town of Luray (only 12 minutes away). You can enjoy a quiet bath in the jacuzzi tub upstairs or relax in the 50 jet 6 person hot tub under the gazebo out doors. For the cool evenings, enjoy the gas fireplace inside or build your own firepit under the stars.

The cabin is located in the valley where wifi can be spotty. It is the perfect get away to escape.

We recently stayed at this property in Luray, Virginia and had a mostly enjoyable experience. The location is truly beautiful, with peaceful surroundings, gorgeous views, and excellent access to the river. It’s a great spot for relaxing and enjoying nature.The home itself was very clean, which we appreciated. However, it was not as well-maintained as we expected. The hot tub was far too hot, and there was no way to adjust the temperature. We also encountered a number of wasps on the deck, which made spending time outside a bit uncomfortable.With some attention to maintenance, this property has a lot of potential. The setting is wonderful, and with a few fixes, it could offer an even better guest experience.

Beautiful property

We enjoyed our stay! The Pros……easy river access, nice views out of the big windows…easy commute to the town ofLuray…pet friendly…ac was nice and cool…The Cons……the beds weren’t terrible but also weren’t comfy (very firm and squeaky), only the bare necessities so bring your tin foil and anything basic that most rentals usually provide, noCharcoal or lighter fluid provided for the grill (we had to go back out and buy some)…the coffeepot took 45 minutes or more to perk a pot of coffee…no extra blankets or throws to keep comfy…the couches seemed worn and the towels and pillow cases…I found a candy wrapper when I pulled the bedspread back(were they not stripped and cleaned?!) so I slept on top of the bedspread with the blanket I keep in my car…We almost ran out of toilet paper (we used it sparingly) and there were only enough bath towels per person…no extra towels to wrap your hair up.The hot tub was 108 degrees and unbearable. The property description says a canoe and life jackets are provided. We didn’t see them anywhere. The bedrooms could use ceiling fans, it got a little stuffy but it was also very hot outside during our stay. The deck was great but no cushions on the metal chairs. Not very comfy but very beautiful views. The cabin is For Sale.

Weekend Getaway

The cabin was nice and the location was good. Not a lot of pots and pans to do cooking. The hut tub was nice as well but the top did not fit properly and was very heavy to open and close. Overall it was a good experience.

Renter

The only things I’d be critical of are-comfort of living room furniture and ease of access to hot tub. But that is a bit of nitpicking. Overall it was nice and the location was good for us.

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

Stayed the weekend with 3 other adult family members just to visit each other for a quiet weekend. This was perfect. It was quiet and relaxing in the beautiful mountains of VA. We found things to do like walk thru Luray and shop, went for a wine tasting, and has a fantastic breakfast buffet at Circa '31. Home had everything we needed and the hot tub was a nice bonus.

Wouldn’t stay again

The house is okay overall but there were several issues. There is a massive wasp nest under the house and owners simply said to keep doors closed. They provide 2 rolls of toilet paper, 1 roll paper towel, and only 1 bathroom had hand soap. House water turned brown on our last 2 days. Beds and couches are uncomfortable and there are no extra linens. Upstairs faucet handles come off. Hot tub is limited to 100. Essentially, it is an investment property with minimal consideration for guests. We stayed at 6 different rentals on our roadtrip and this was definitely the worst.

Wonderful week!

We enjoyed our stay at “Shuck.” Everything was as advertised. River was perfect for wading, floating, and fishing. Kitchen was fairly well stocked. Our biggest disappointment was the hot tub. It had an extremely high level of chemicals in that we were unable to use it due to the strong fumes. We even tried removing the cover for an hour or so before we were going to get in but that didn’t help, either. That being said, we would still recommend this rental and will likely rent again.

Nice house in a great location

The house was as described, and a good size. It was great to have access to the river and a sizable yard. The location was quiet but not too far from Luray caverns and skyline drive. The kids enjoyed playing in the river and finding crayfish. There was not any charcoal for the grill so we had to go out and buy that, perhaps that could be added to the description (byoc).

Great place...Peaceful

Got away alone. Was quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Mostly great things to say about it. Only negatives would be the upstairs bedroom loft mattress is VERY hard so I slept downstairs which was awesome. Some dead bugs in the rooms but you're in the country so was expected. Would definitely stay again. Appreciate your hospitality!!!
