Lone Bear Cabin: EV, River Access, Mountain Views, Fireplace, Hot Tub

I stayed at Mark's cozy cabin with family to enjoy the regional fall foliage and nearby activities. It was incredible to wake up to stunning views of the mountains every morning with deer grazing outside. The working fireplace also heated up the cabin in no time whenever we got chilly. While it was too cold for us to kayak, we still enjoyed taking in the beauty of the river- what a serene neighborhood! This was also a great location for venturing out to local attractions like Luray Caverns and Showalters Apple Orchard. We did experience some complications with using the EV charger for our vehicle, but Mark was super responsive-explaining there had been a recent change to the electrical system-and gave us access to the garage so we could plug our adapter into another outlet (there are also plenty of charging stations in the area). The fancy hot tub was a nice treat at the end of the day. We honestly wish we had stayed longer!

Such a wonderful home away from home. I can't say enough good things about this house. I would recommend driving the extra 10 mins to eat out in Front Royal v Luray. We really enjoyed the fire pit, the hot tub, pool table and overall quality of the rental.

Nicely updated interior. Beds were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table. We had fun making s’mores at the primitive fire pit area. A huge plus is that that our host, Mark Talbot, was terrific! He was a great communicator and went the extra mile to make sure that our stay was pleasant and fun! During our stay we were lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis!! Super cool!!On the negative side, the fireplace metal insert became dangerously hot! Even though they had a sign stating this—it was not a good thing. The deck and table / chairs off of the kitchen and living room were filthy and covered with bugs. We swept and wiped things down so we could sit there and enjoy the great view. Also, the umbrella on the deck was broken, which blocked some our view. A minor suggestion would be for them to have additional towels, especially for the hot tub area. Overall it was a very nice stay!! We’d recommend it to others.

The house and its views of the mountain are beautiful. Very quiet and private location. The hot tub was great, especially with the cold and snowy weather. This is our second time here, will definitely be back again.

Had a fantastic stay. The house is lovely and well stocked. We loved the pool table. Didn’t use the hot tub- but it’s huge! The location was great- spent a few days enjoying Shenandoah and also went to Luray and Front Royal. The views from the house are amazing. It was nice to just relax at the house and take it all in. We also enjoyed working on a puzzle in front of the fireplace. Would definitely stay again!!

Excellent home for 2 adults and 3 kids under 10. Had room to hold many more!!! Views great, can walk to river area, and Hot tub is huge!!! Would’ve rated it a 11 out of 10 but the 500 piece cabin puzzle only had 496 pieces with one edge piece missing…you can understand the struggle. Hahaha. Will definitely come back.

House was as advertised, enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit, easy WiFi access, central to outdoor activities

We had a very relaxing couples getaway, at Lone Bear Cabin. The house was as advertised. It was secluded, quiet with great views from the deck. Mark was easy to communicate with. He responded quickly to my texts. We enjoyed the fireplace, porch swing and hot tub. We were visited by turkey in the morning and deer in the evening. The furnature was very comfortable. Nice mattresses. A bit firm, for our liking, but we all slept well. The location of the house was perfect for visiting Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park. The wifi worked well. I would highly recommend this house.

It was a wonderful and relaxing time at Lone Bear Cabin. We had a quiet peaceful stay. The kitchen was well equipped for us .We particularly liked the level 2 charger that made our trip with an EV very easy. The wild turkeys made an evening visit.

House was exactly as advertised. Great views, comfortable, and very clean. Everything worked as expected- fireplace, hot tub, grill, fast internet etc. We enjoyed the fire pit at night and star gazing.

Property is just as listed and on a quiet road. House is very clean and kitchen well stocked for cooking! Lots of space inside and out! Beautiful view of the mountains and was the perfect quiet get away!! Property is not too far from town for shopping/attractions. Highly recommend!

The cabin was clean and the check in process was easy. Amazing views from all the rooms and deck. Loved the swinging bench. Perfect weekend getaway!

This property is very clean with a beautiful view, and the property manager was very attentive.

Clean and nice place to stay to visit Shenandoah

This property was just as described. It was perfect for my wife and I. The property was very clean and updated. The new floors are beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessary equipment We did not use the grill or the hot tub but they looked to be very nice. We have our own hot tub so that experience was not important to us. Plus we took off most of the week from cooking. We visited numerous wineries and breweries in the area. This location was ideal for trips to the caverns and numerous days to the park. It is very quiet and peaceful in this area. The bed was comfortable as well as the furniture. Thanks for a fantastic place to unwind and relax after days of hiking and seeing the sights in the area

Very nice, clean. Loved the area.

Communication with the property owner was awesome. House itself was spotless and had everything we needed. Location was perfect...beautiful views. So cozy and comfortable!!

There’s not much else I can say that everyone else hasn’t said. The place was spotless, great hot tub, great views. A perfect place to get away and relax after a trip to Shenandoah. We would definitely stay here again!

The inside of the cabin was clean, well decorated and the layout is better than some I've stayed in. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of fixtures and the included amenities. There was ice, detergent, soaps, towels, tissues and paper products. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with.

The cabin was impeccably clean on our arrival! With sweeping mountain views from every window and a cozy, well-decorated interior what's not to love? The fireplace and hot tub were great amenities and the beds were super comfortable. The river can be heard from the deck and the night sky is truly spectacular with views of the Milkyway. Would love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Shenandoah Valley!

Wonderful view, great house that’s very well outfitted. Host is extremely communicative and available.

The Lone Bear Cabin was beautiful and the view off the deck was fantastic. We saw deer two days in a row. We enjoyed playing pool, too. The only thing I will say that was not ideal is that the beds were very hard to us. I thought I had read something about mattress toppers, but we didn’t notice one on the bed, and it was harder than we are used to, but I’m sure that is a matter of opinion to each individual person.

Fantastic place to stay as home base for hiking in Shenandoah National Park. Quiet comfortable location, 20 minutes to Front Royal, 30 to Thornton Gap via Luray. Views from the porch were stunning. WiFi worked great for the half day of office work. The beds were comfy, the home luxurious after a day of winter hiking. Great owner who was very responsive.

It was very easy to stay in this cabin. All the amenities as advertised Stunning winter views from every window. Fast owner responses.

This house was ideal for a weekend away. The quality of the house and hot tub was great. It was close to both Luray and Front Royal so there were plenty of opportunities for quality food and shops close by. But the house also had everything we needed so leaving was not necessary. The view was lovely as well from almost every window. We hope to be back next time we want a break from city life.

The property is in excellent condition, and as described. The host is extremely responsive and provides fantastic detail about the property. Very quiet rural neighborhood down a gravel road. Fantastic views from the cabin. Only complaint is the king bed was overly firm and the frame was noisy. The comfort of the bed just didn't match the excellent quality of everything else in the property. We enjoyed the selection of DVDs, games, and jigsaw puzzles.

We had an amazing time at Lone Bear Cabin. The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The HUGE hot tub was amazing, and we really appreciated Mark's proactive communication. He called us to let us know about a coming snow storm to make sure we had four wheel drive, had someone come out to the house before arrival to salt the outdoor space, and he was super responsive to our few questions. Highly recommend, 10/10 stay, no notes!

Lone Bear Cabin was a great spot for a few days in the mountains.Clean, comfortable, and great location. Mark was very responsive to any questions.

Off the beaten path, low traffic, beautiful view, and great accommodations. Short drives to everything.

Wonderful property and location to visit the national park - house was very comfortable and had everything we needed - host very responsive - mountain view and stars at night were impressive. We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay!

Very clean house in a beautiful wooded area with mountain views. Close to main route. Perfect setting to unwind and tour the area.

We had a great time at the lone bear! Secluded and private property with lovely views! Cabin was as advertised and we utilized all the amenities! Close to downtown Luray, Luray Caverns, breweries and wineries, and easily accessible to Shenandoah National Park.

We had a great stay at Lone Bear Cabin. The deck and view were awesome and we spent ALOT of time enjoying them. The house was great and the host was easy to reach . The access to the Shenandoah State Park and Skyline drive were great - was a great place to explore the area from.

Mark was a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin is well supplied with everything one could need. The beds were comfortable, the view was amazing and it wasn’t too far from the entrance to Shenandoah National Park. We would return here in a heartbeat!

From the moment we drove onto the gravel road we were transported to a fairytale world. We arrived to a serene mid March snowfall. Check in was easy and our host responded quickly to any questions we texted. As soon as we entered we were awestruck by the view of the mountains from the pictue window in the dining area. The next thing we noticed was how clean the place looked and smelled. The home was beautiful and comfortable and we had everything we needed. On our first morning we watched the misty snows evaporating off the mountain. By the afternoon spring had arrived and there were daffodils on the side of the house and some of the trees were starting to flower. Bring your binoculars to help you identify the interesting birds of the area. We had a chance to enjoy the hot tub. It was even more relaxing than I expected. The fireplace was also lovely and added to that cozy feeling. On one clear night we stargazed from the deck. It is amazing how much the sky has to offer when you are far from light pollution. We got to experience Lurray Caverns and we got to hike the Dark Hollow Falls trail in Shenandoah National Park. Both were amazing and beautiful. We got to enjoy some of the local eateries in Front Royal and Luray. Drive slowly when you are venturing out in the morning. There is a good chance a family of deer will be crossing the road. I really enjoyed my stay. Check out was easy. I highly recommend this home to anyone who wants to experience a cozy enchanting comfortable getaway.
