\"The Chalet\" Shenandoah Valley Getaway w / Hot Tub près de Luray, VA

Private small chalet in the woods. Private with everything you would need minus the linens and towels. The house is perfect for a small group of people. It was just me and my dog and it was the perfect getaway for a few days. I loaded up the fridge with whatever I was craving food and drink-wise and just relaxed, read a book, took short walks, got in the hot tub, and just enjoyed a little me time. Oh, and I had a fire in the pit a few nights too. Very quiet and peaceful. I will definitely go back.

Absolutely adorable mountain cabin with perfect views and all the comforts of home. Loved the hot tub and the fire pit. Already looking forward to coming back again sometime.

we did a short trip, april 9-11th. The weather was wonderful but with that came the bugs, bees, and other flying critters! Not too bad for the most part. the screened in porch was wonderful to have and the hot tub offered a wonderful view of the mountains. We tried to have a fire with the wood provided but struggled with it not lighting after several attempts, next time we would bring our own wood. We did have a power outage for a few hours but was soon resolved. overall we had a wonderful time and loved the privacy this location offered!

The Chalet offers a variety of cozy spots to enjoy an anniversary weekend -- outside on the deck with a great view of the mountains, a hot tub for soothing legs tired from hiking, a screened-in porch, and a mini living room w TV and streaming. We enjoyed relaxing in all of these spots, plus cooking in the well-furnished kitchen. Thanks to the owners for easy communication and logistics.

Wish we could have stayed 2 nights here! The chalet was just what our family wanted….a private mountain house with a hot tub close to Luray Caverns. The kids loved exploring the house, playing games, and eating s’mores in the fire pit. They especially loved the dollar game started by previous guests and enjoyed continuing the game for the next guests! The housekeeping situation was a bit confusing in the description…but please know the house was perfectly clean! The hot tub was not warm enough when we arrived so be sure to check the temperature setting first thing so it has time to warm up. Beds were very comfortable!

Everything was exactly as described. Beautiful and peaceful. The hot tub was amazing at night after a long day of hiking. The stars were beautiful. Great location and stay!

We stayed for a total of 4 nights. Our first reaction when we pulled in was that the road was a gravel road and on a very steep hill, which is definitely not stated on the listing. The outside and inside of the cabin is nice and I would say clean. The only reason I would give this cabin such a low rating was because of the amenities… and the wasp nest on the deck. We were trying to enjoy the hot tub outside and had to cut it short because a carpenter bee was digging itself a home inside the cabin wood directly next to the wasp nest. My friend is allergic to bees and wasps… so this is not ideal. Another thing is the $50 linens. I was under the assumption that because I was spending $50 on linens that they would provide the sheets needed for both bedrooms, but only provided sheets for 1 bed and pillow covers for 2 pillows. The towels and wash cloths provided were great though, but definitely need to up their game with the sheets. The sheets were also not put on the beds, but rather put in a laundry basket in the bathroom. We drove 7 hours to the cabin and were dead tired and went to go to bed and there was no sheets on the bed. As someone who just drove 7 hours to a cabin, that was really infuriating. Pots and pans were provided which was awesome, as well as plates, cups, bowls, and silverware, but no measuring cups were provided. 1 roll of paper towels and 1 roll per bathroom of toilet paper were provided, but no tissues were provided. Overall not the worst cabin.

The Chalet is beautiful and we had a great time connecting and relaxing and exploring the area. The views were spectacular. Only 2 negatives in a way, we were using the outside fire pit and charcoal grill and the moths were insane and we would go inside and multiple would fly in with us and the TV was not hooked up with Chromecast and Netflix (we could put our own info in) but location or TV room we didn't spend much time in it anyway. Overall it was fantastic!

We stayed for a week in the Chalet over Thanksgiving. The wifi was excellent for our daughter to work remotely while we were here. Morning light was beautiful in the living room as well as the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains from one of the bedrooms. We headed into Luray for morning runs at a delightful river walk in the town. The Chalet is perched on a steep hill. So, running around the cabin was challenging. We hiked at Shenandoah National Park a few times. And we relaxed in the outdoor hot tub many evenings. The full moon and stars were lovely. The outdoor firepit was an added bonus. We prepared all of our meals at the Chalet. While the kitchen was adequately supplied, the oven temperature fluctuated widely. It was very frustrating. The Chalet was clean, but somewhat outdated. Overall it was very good stay!

The property is well maintained. It is off the beaten path which makes it very peaceful and quiet, but still close enough to many attractions in the larger area. The views from the main living area, porch, and master bedroom are spectacular. We even saw a few deer making their way around the neighborhood. The hot tub and fire pit are very nice amenities, and the entire cabin is very clean. This was a really perfect getaway - I would absolutely return to this property in the future. One small note for future guests - if you do opt to pay the $50 for the linens, you do have to put them on the bed yourself. They will be in a laundry basket upon arrival.

Great little getaway with the family! It was clean and had the most beautiful views!

This cabin is in a great location and quite quaint. An abundance of wildlife for short. However, we did have a couple of issues. Upon arriving, we took a stroll around the property and found rotting vegetables on the premises. Mainly onions, cilantro, and red peppers. It was in front of the balcony and was a bit off putting. Then when we went to take our showers the following morning, we noticed either mold or mildew spanning the bathroom ceiling. So, I just wish the cabin had been a bit tidier.

A very nice cabin in a great location. We loved getting in the hot tub after a long hike, especially at night when the stars were out. Overall the cabin was clean and had everything we needed apart from the upstairs bathroom, there was still trash in the trash can and hair on the bathtub. Other than that we had a wonderful stay. Thank you.

Really enjoyed our time here! Very, very clean.

The house was adorable and perfectly clean with everything we needed. The hot tub was nice and evenings on the deck were amazing. The view is unreal. Cute places to eat in Luray nearby. Drive to the national park not too bad :) we loved our weekend.

The chalet is exactly as pictured. And there is no way to capture how beautiful the view is from the main bedroom and the deck- just stunning overlooking a small clearing, surrounded by trees with the blue ridge mountains in the distance…you can hear the geese in the Shenandoah river below…. And many bird calls and the fireflies sparkle in the evening… Just very special… Very clean, had everything we needed including kitchen stuff. I almost missed that linens were not included- we ultimately brought them but the owner will provide them for a fee. The hot tub was immaculate and lovely on the deck. It takes about 20-30 min to get into Shenandoah National park at the Thornton Gap entrance- town of Luray was about 10 minutes away. We don’t have all wheel drive and did fine on all the roads. Check-in was so easy. Very much recommend this chalet…was a wonderful experience.

Clean, neat and well equipped chalet. The views were lovely

The Chalet was perfect for our quick trip in Luray! Very clean and absolutely beautiful views. Thank you!

This cabin stay exceeded our expectations. Very clean, secluded and peaceful. It was the perfect escape for my sister and I.

Beautiful clean cabin. Looked just like it did in the pictures. Quiet and beautiful views.

We spent a week at the Chalet in early June, and it was perfect. The view from the front room/deck is unforgettable. The view was equally compelling in the early morning light and the evening dusk, in the night when the valley below was illuminated by hundreds of fireflies, and when a curtain of heavy rain slowly crossed the mountains before reaching the house. From the deck we saw lots of deer and a raccoon. The deck gets full bright sun in the early morning, but there is a second outdoor space by the parking that is wonderfully shaded and is perfect for outdoor breakfast (and has a fire pit). There are other houses nearby but you can barely see them, and they were quiet the whole time we were there. It was easy to get to Luray (I recommend Hawksbill Brewing and the Asian Station), to the Thornton entrance of the National Park and the State Park, and to the river. Don't forget your linens, including towels. For us it was absolutely perfect; I can't think of anything that could have made it any better.

Cozy little home snuggled in the mountains, with reat mountain views. The kitchen had everything i needed placed in a logical place. The bed was super comfy. We had a lively time at the Shenandoah National Park, and the Shenandoah River State Park, both minutes away.

I planned a trip out here with my wife while we had some time off to travel. She loved the Chalet, which I had picked out for our vacation. The property was very clean upon our arrival and easy to access. Everything worked that we used, including the hot tub, oven, stove, and new electric fireplace in the TV room. I read some older reviews before our trip that said some of the appliances didn't work and/or were outdated, we found that everything was in working order as of our trip! (Early Spring 2024) It's a 15-20 minute drive to Luray Caverns, and just past that there is a Wal-Mart where we picked up some groceries for our stay. Several National Parks are also in close proximity. We would definitely stay at The Chalet again, it's a quiet and relaxing place to spend a couple of days.

My partner and I rented this place for the weekend. The house was cozy and had beautiful scenery. For a quaint, relatively rural location it had all the amenities one could want. While it was very clean, it was clear that this place has received a lot of visitors and some areas of the house are starting to show some wear. We agreed we would happily stay here again though. If you’re not opting for the linens, note that you will probably want to bring kitchen towels as well. One kitchen towel was provided.

The Chalet was better than the pictures. The view takes your breathe away. But its gets better. You can enjoy that view from the hot tub! The place was clean, the living room was comfortable. There is an enclosed porch if it gets buggy. The bed was so comfortable. Explore Luray Caverns, go for a hike or cruz Skyline Drive and then relax in your own private peice of the beauty of the region. The Chalet is a gem.

The Chalet is perfect for a small group of friends to get away for a few days. The house is well appointed, the beds are super comfy, and the views unbeatable. It’s secluded while also easy to access, and near a lot of great hiking. This will be our weekend trip rental whenever we can get it!

Cozy, well appointed house near Luray with beautiful views of the Blue Ridge mountains. Close to Shenandoah National Park.

Booked at the last minute for a short stop on a long trip. The cabin was ready and very clean. Host was exceptional accommodating our last minute booking. Views are wonderful.

House was as advertised. Great location, close to DC, with a great view. Communication with the property manager was excellent and very helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and relaxing getaway from the city and work.

We had a great time at this weekend getaway. The Chalet was cozy and clean. Nice view from the deck and close to Luray for resturant options. Shenandoah National Park is close by for hikes and site seeing. Derek was very responsive to any questions I had. Would definitely recommend.

Close to Luray, very clean and really appreciated the communication regarding directions and checking in from the host. The view is amazing and we had everything we needed for a quick, comfortable stay. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again!

We LOVED the house, view, and area. Tropical Storm Debby came through & we weathered it out at the Chalet, and it was beautiful to see. Check-in was a breeze, and we enjoyed the town of Luray & exploring the area! Perfect get-away!

Really enjoyed our stay in Luray, and the Chalet was a big part of it. Super easy to get there, key box was easy, and everything was seamless once we got there. Super cute A-frame with a beautiful view very close to Luray. 10/10 recommend!

The property was okay and well kept. However, it was dated (shower, kitchen, porch and outside chairs). WiFi and TV good. We needed to bring our own linens, and there were no towels. Nor were there logical necessities like aluminum foil and saran wrap. While the area and the mountains are quite beautiful, the cabin is somewhat remote, and there is no level ground if you’re traveling with pets. There were continuous flies in the home, perhaps because of time of year, April. Communicating with Derek was difficult and not constructive. I’d give it a C+ overall. We would not stay there again.

Very smooth

We stayed at the property for two nights with our granddaughter. Communication was good with owner. Location was good for what we were doing. The only reason it wasn’t a 5-star was due to the upstairs being a little harder to cool and the linens not provided. The linen fee was okay but you still have to put all the linens on the bed. We ended up bringing our own and it was a little aggravating to make beds upon arrival in the evening. Hot tub, screen porch, fire pit, games were all great!

One of the prettiest views you will find. Cabin is very clean and offers you all you need. Relaxing in hot tub on the deck with that view is unbeatable! Very cozy. Also a short walk to the beautiful Shenandoah river. Situated perfectly between Front Royal and Luray.

Hotub was great and home was close Shenandoah national park

Great access to Shenandoah River State Park and not too far from Shenandoah National Park. House was clean and had a great view off the back deck.

The cottage was perfect for our quick getaway. Close to Shenandoah Valley National Park and the caverns. Love the porches and views. The space felt bigger than the photos even show! All the amenities we needed were available and the space was very comfortable. Highly recommend!

Everything was exactly as described. Beautiful and peaceful. The hot tub was amazing at night after a long day of hiking. The stars were beautiful. Great location and stay!

Property was easy to locate and readily accessible. Did not realize property was on a mountain that had steep hills, just a fear of mine so it was more jarring for me but it may be nothing of substance for someone else who is used to country living. House itself was super cute and intimate! We loved the layout and hot tun was clean enough to the location and environment
