The house was perfect. A home away fromHome. My family stayed here for my daughter’s wedding at Faithbrooke Barn and Vineyard. We loved learning about the history of the house and it has everything you need - including lots of games and dvds. The rooms are very comfortable and the location is close to everything in Luray - especially the Caverns. The decks and outdoor living space are fabulous. We would definitely love to stay there again. Many happy memories.

Family vacation

This home was perfect for our family! The location was wonderful...walking distance to the caverns, coffee shop, pond and a short drive to Shenandoah National Park. We even got to hear a concert from the Singing Tower, which was really special! The kitchen was fully stocked, and the host even had firewood waiting for us. Everything was clean and in good working order. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Perfect location

We chose the house as we had a party of 7 and planned to visit the nearby caverns. The house was in the perfect location. The hot tub stopped working and Kelli was very responsive and took care of it immediately. The house has a beautiful outside desks with so many seating options. If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay there again.

Kelli, the host, was great. We had a little trouble operating the outdoor gas fireplace when we arrived. Kelli sent someone to check it out and even replaced the gas bottle just in case, all while we were enjoying the caverns just down the road. Turns out it was me, not the fireplace. We had a great stay, the deck was great. We cooked out on a very cool charcoal grill. (I was intimidated at first, but everything turned out great.) Loved the hot tub too even though the weather was a little warm.We loved the house and it's old house charm. We were cool and cozy. We gave the kitchen a workout too. We had a big breakfast together every morning. The 4 of just seemed to assemble for coffee and hang out with each other until it was time to start the days adventure.We loved the Carillon, it played shortly after we settled in and again as we sat out on the balcony one evening. We could see the Luray Caverns site from the house and made it our first days adventure. The caverns and on site museums were worth the trip from Pennsylvania alone. We cruised Skyline Drive, Visited Cooters Place, and made an excursion just to see our first Buc-ee's. We had a great time at great place in an amazing location.

Very close to caverns

A little bit tighter in terms of space than I was expecting but we all squeezed in just fine. Location is excellent and I really loved the outdoor spaces.

Glad you enjoyed your stay and glad you loved the outdoor spaces. It is definitely an older house, and not as open and spacious as newer homes, but hopefully the unexpected surprise of the expanded deck and new hot hub were able to make up for any gap in expectation of space! Thank you again for choosing Nana's Country Cottage! ☺️

The Luray House

The house was clean and welcoming. The back porch and hot tub were brand new additions that we didnt expect, so a big plus to our enjoyment. There were outside and inside games that the children played with. The house was located on a quiet road.

Bathrooms updated which was great just wish there was one on the top floor. Rooms were small especially the one that barely fits the full size bed but it was fine. We had babies so not a lot of trim to crawl around but we brought out playpen. We would have loved to enjoy the outside area but weather was not good. The deck areas were nice. Quiet area which was nice and could walk everywhere

A Gem of a Find!

This charming home did not disappoint! The house is well appointed with everything you may need. We could easily walk to the Luray Caverns. After whatever activities we chose to do for the day, we could sit out on the really nice two level newly built deck and then enjoy the salt water hot tub! We look forward to going back. I highly recommend it! Homeowner was really easy to work with.

Luray at Home

This was a warm and cozy country home with a fabulous deck for entertaining. Everything you need to prepare a home-cooked meal was available in the kitchen (except the food). Loved the upstairs screened in porch. Location was within walking distance to Luray Singing Tower and the Luray Caverns. Stores nearby. Just an absolute lovely place to spend a vacation.

Great little house!

The house was great. It would have been even better if one bathroom was on the 2nd floor and bigger. The deck was beautiful and the hot tub was wonderful and clean! We were disappointed that we couldn't use the screened in porch, but the wasps took it over. Close to the caverns , but walking across a 4 lane highway wasn't for us, so we drove the less than 5 minute drive.. We really enjoyed our time in Luray.

So glad you enjoyed the deck, the hot tub and the town of Luray overall! I’m so sorry that you had to endure the WASPs- we had someone come up the very next morning, after your arrival, to address the issue, and we assumed it was all handled. Had we known the issue continued, making it so you couldn’t enjoy the porch, we certainly would have addressed that!

Lovely House

The house was in a nice area and easy to get to all attractions. We had a bit of a hiccup with check-in, but it was all good and Kelli was very accommodating. Everything was clean and the new deck and jacuzzi were amazing! I would very much like to come back within the next year to visit the area with more family. It’s beautiful and there are more places I’d like to visit and revisit some others. I would not hesitate to rent here again. Thank you for everything!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this charming house! You can feel the love this house has held over the years with your first step in the door. My husband and I took our 4 kids (18 to 8 years old) for the weekend and spent a day kayaking with nearby Shenandoah River Outfitters. We celebrated a birthday out and sending our oldest to college this week with a little trip to West Main Market Brewery, Rancho Viejo Mexican Restaurant and Flotzie’s Soft Serve. The house was so cozy to come home to and just relax together. The morning after we all hit the salt water hot tub to relax and we left after less than 48 hours feeling deeply rejuvenated! Kelli was an awesome host and really made us feel welcome with her communication. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Stay for a Special Occasion

We stayed at this lovely property in Luray as a group of six while celebrating our daughter’s graduation in Harrisonburg, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The home was clean, spacious, and very comfortable – a great fit for our group.The large deck and hot tub were definite highlights and gave us a perfect place to relax in the evenings. The location was also ideal – close to Luray Caverns, a nice local park, and just a short drive from downtown. It made for a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently located.The host was responsive and thoughtful, and everything was just as described, if not better. We really appreciated the attention to detail throughout the home.Highly recommended for families or groups looking for a comfortable and relaxing place to stay near Luray or Harrisonburg. We’d absolutely come back!

Luray house

Cute house. Amazing location! Lots of outdoor seating, shade, firepit, sheep that like to be petted. Super close to Luray attractions but seperate road so not busy. Had an issue in the beginning, messaged seller, they responded immediately. Good communication, very helpful. Kitchen had everything we needed. Awesome charging station in laundry room. Air mattress for extra sleeping space beyond what was advertised.
