About this property

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.

We have stayed at The Great Escape numerous times and love the cabin. It is perfect for a long weekend in the mountains. During the days, we enjoy hikes in Shenandoah National Park and the George Washington National Forest. In the evenings, we relax in the hot tub, prepare dinners in the very well-equipped kitchen, and sleep soundly in the comfortable bed. A fully fenced in back yard for dogs and a washer and dryer are two of our favorite amenities. Don and Lina are excellent hosts, making sure the cabin has everything we need and always being accessible.

Loved that we could take our dog with us,and with the fenced in yard, it was perfect. The hot tub was nice to relax in. The property is very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts couldn't have been nicer, with many of the starting essentials like toilet paper and paper towels provided. They even provided essentials for our pooch! Thank you so much - we loved Skyline Drive!

Clearly a Great Escape!

Overall fabulous stay! Fully furnished Cabin with fenced in backyard for our dogs to play in. Conveniently located close to Luray, NC and local attractions like Luray Caverns and Antique Car Museum. Just off the beaten path for privacy with a few neighbors all around. Great for two couples to get away for a long weekend!

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!

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.

Great Weekend Away!

My husband and I stayed at the Great Escape with another couple and our dog. Before we even arrived, the owners sent out extensive information about things to do and what was nearby which was very helpful! The house was the perfect size for all of us and the fenced in back yard was perfect for our dog. We highly recommend this house!

Shenandoah Get Away

This is probably one of the cleanest properties we have ever stayed in. They have everything you need right at the cabin. Short drive to Luray and Shenandoah National Park. Girls loved unwinding in the hot tub after long days of hiking. Even our dog enjoyed the mini getaway.
