The host provided a lot of information before we arrived and it was very helpful. The host Misty and Randy were quick to respond when I had a question. We have stayed at numerous places through VRBO and this log cabin is in the top 10. We cannot wait to stay here again. It was a great location to go skiing and tubing.
Enjoyed the stay very much. House is just wonderful with beautiful views. Property owners responded quickly to our questions and checked in with us during the stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Everything was great (bedrooms, fire pit, fish pond, hot tub, 4 fire places) .. the only thing that would have made it better would have been a smart tv in the common area.
We had a very nice stay! We didn’t get to fully enjoy all of the amenities provided but would definitely return for a longer stay to be able to do so. It was a nice relaxing place to come back and unwind after days filled with hiking and other activities.
the hot was clean but the surface was exteremely slipping getting in to it. the overall cabin was very nice the dishes and sliverware had to be washed prior to use, I would still stay again.
This is a great place to stay, description is 100% accurate. The cabin is beautiful and well equipped to keep you entertained. Property is very secure. Would rebook for next trip to the area. Highly recommend.
This cabin was just what we needed for a little getaway from everyday life. Perfectly placed to everything we wanted to do and see. Would definitely stay here again!
The whole process was easy end-to-end with clear communication with the property owner/managers. Gorgeous views and convenient location. I was only there with one other person but would definitely go back with a group/recommend for a group.
The perfect place for my friends and I to relax on a girl's weekend. So many ways to sit and take in the surrounding view. The cabin was exactly as pictured and very clean. The beds were very comfy. Our favorite part was sitting in the hot tub watching the stars come out.

Great place
Very nice rustic but modern feel. We will make this a revisit this year
Mare House was great. It was clean and inviting. The neighborhood was quiet and the pond was stocked with fish! We will definitely stay here again. There were 7 of us total and everyone enjoyed themselves.
We had such a wonderful time this weekend.at the rental. It was perfect for two families for four under five. Great layout. Tons of indoor and great outdoor space. We had some spectacular sunrises! The beds were top tier! Great water pressure and loves the heaters in the bathroom. We would definitely stay again! This is our second stay in a hawksbill cabin.
We were traveling the east coast and picked Hawksbill retreat as a location to meet our son who lives in DC and connect for a week. The property is beautiful, the cabin was great and we especially liked the wrap around porch. There was only three of us so we probably only used half of the unit. The Mare House can accommodate probably 6 people comfortably. The location right outside the Shenandoah National Park was terrific and we also made day trips over to New Market and also Monticello.
We really enjoyed the place. House is exactly as described. The bedrooms are REALLY big and there's a ton of natural light. We have two kids and they really enjoyed exploring the grounds and the playground across the street.
One thing to note is that a lot of the nearby hikes are on the other side of some hills with no road access, so look ahead at any hikes you're planning to do, and make sure you're not an hour's drive away!
The property was very clean. A little too clean; the strong scent of pine sol took 24 hours to go away. House had everything the add showed. Actually larger than I thought. Fire pit and hot tub were great.
From feeling like we had to sign our life away with the rental agreement, I somewhat thought going in we may be bothered a bit by staff/owners; watched per say. That wasn’t the case. I saw a few people mowing and received a friendly wave and that was it. We felt like we had the entire grounds to ourselves.
Few very small things. Master shower was not working properly; barely any water pressure. Shower heads probably need a replacement - they were a tad nasty. A few pans in the kitchen probably need a little updating as well. Baking sheets were pretty used. Just as a FYI...the manual can opener in drawer is broken.
The fire pit on a clear night was amazing. We brought a blanket and laid down with the fire going and stargazing; it was amazing. Hot Tub was clean and put to use every night. House stayed cold at night, so fireplaces in the bedrooms were a very nice touch. Bedrooms were spacious, plenty of room in the kitchen.
I would recommend this property for sure. Was a great 3 night get away with friends. 30 minute drive to hiking in Shenandoah National Park, local restaurants and grocery 10 minutes away and a wine trail not too far as well. Thank you Hawksbill Retreat!
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. It was clean, comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful scenery! About 15mins give or take from the Luray Caverns. Less than 5mins from a lovely little restaurant called the Hawksbill diner. Our stay was so peaceful and everything we dreamed of getting a break from home! 10/10 recommend and would love to stay here again in the future!
Absolutely gorgeous house! Beautiful inside and out. We spent a long weekend here while hiking Shenandoah NP. House was very comfortable and hot tub was a great treat after a day of hiking the mountains.
Only downfall was spotty wifi (at best). It was not really an issue so we did not contact the hosts.
Great location for a quiet getaway.
What a great mini vacation!!! The Mare Cabin was absolutely wonderful. My sweetheart and I had a great time.
The owner stopped by to chat and that just put a personal touch in making us feel welcome.
It was nice to check into a clean well kept cabin. I wish that the fireplace would have worked in the Master bedroom for a more romantic appeal, but still a great place to stay.
We will go back to stay at one of the Cabins on the hill because the view is breath taking.
