About this property

A Cozy Bear Cottage - Fresh & Clean in the Spring!

One beautiful pinewood cabin secluded on 3 acres of woodland property all to yourself. Private and cozy, we are only 1/2 mile to the river, 2 miles to Cooter's Place, 10 minutes to Luray Caverns and town, and 12 minutes to the Washington Jefferson National Forest. We are 17 miles from Shenandoah National Park's Skyline Drive.

My husband and I both love staying at our cabin where it's peaceful and beautiful and quiet. It's a great place to unwind and refocus on each other. Relax in any room; the cabin has ceiling fans in every room and on the front porch to help you stay cool even on a hot summer day.

The cabin offers 3 Bedrooms outfitted with 2 Queen beds and 2 Single sized beds. Deck out back. Freshly stained exterior of cabin in Spring 2022. Beautiful covered front porch to enjoy your morning in a rocking chair, rain or shine. Great fire pit and Adirondack chairs to sit and roast marshmallows or just watch some "caveman tv". The cabin also has a wood-burning fireplace inside which is super warm and romantic with that special someone.

We have DISH tv and Wi-Fi. If you are like me you still want access to all your Netflix, Hulu and Prime tv shows. Use the Wi-Fi and connect to the tv so you can watch all your shows to your heart's content.

Come get away to our peaceful cozy cabin!

Comfortable

Everything worked as described. Well stocked with spices appeared to have what you would need for cooking but I only used kettle and toaster as don’t cook on vacation. Only has 1 hair dryer wall mounted in master bath- that worked for us but might want to bring one if more people staying. Close to caverns snd park.

Great spot to get over to Shenandoah NP during the day and the amenities of Luray as needed. Roads getting in are very dark at night, as long as you keep that in mind you'll enjoy the stay and the location.

Idyllic getaway

Wonderful experience. The place is so cute, beautifully maintained, and well stocked with plenty of extra comforts. It's close to many beautiful hikes and also close to town. Appreciated the hosts' great communication as well as the nice little details (like comfy pillows!). We would definitely love to come back. Fantastic!

Nice Place

Mellanie and Marty’s home near Luray is just as advertised in the listing. I traveled here with my 80 year old parents to explore Shenandoah National Park and surrounding areas. The cabin is an easy drive to the park (either through Luray or Elkton). The area is very quiet. We did not hear or see any neighbors while we were there. Everything in the home was in working order. WiFi was good and I was able to stream Netflix with no issues. The check in process and communication with the owners was good. I would recommend this cabin if you are visiting the area.

Cabin with lots of unexpected amenities in a great location.

The cabin was cozy and quaint with clean rooms and lots of amenities. I was very impressed with how well-stocked the cabin was. There was a pack-and-play for kids to sleep in, a baby bathtub, shampoo and soap, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee, games, and many other items. I’ve stayed at other VRBO properties that don’t provide any of those amenities. I would highly recommend this property.

Great getaway 2 hours from DC

Clean and cozy cabin just far enough to get away from it all. Lots of activities nearby, but the owners set up the cabin so you won't have to leave if you want solitude.

Wonderful, quiet cabin

We stayed here with our two little girls (1,3) for a few days while we explored the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. It was clean and very comfortable. The location was great for being isolated but also being close enough to town to head in for dinner and to Shenandoah for hiking--exactly what we wanted in this regard. The cabin was well stocked for our purposes (e.g. kid cups/plates) and had some nice touches that we haven't encountered in other places (a double towel rack in the master bath for instance). The gates on the porch worked really well for keeping the kids contained on the porch. Speaking of the porch, we greatly enjoyed our time on the porch in the cool of the morning and at night. We would almost certainly stay in this cabin again if we travel back to this area.

Cute cabin!

We wanted a cabin stay to decompress after spring break in DC. Nice and relaxing. The fire pit was our favorite thing. Cabin is accurately described. Charming! Beds were comfy. Neighbors have a barking dog that woke us up one night-not sure what that was about. Master bathroom has been nicely updated. We didn’t do much in the area except Storybook trail (teens love the rock scrambling).

Cabin stay

The home was a nice and quiet retreat in the woods. The property manager was quick to respond to some of the issues that existed when we arrived. When we checked in, the screen door was lying on the back patio and no firewood was available on the porch. Property description did not reflect that renters needed to put sheets and blankets on the beds upon arrival. She explained the reason why, but after traveling all day, that was the last thing we wanted to do. Well water is the primary source of water for the house. It has a slight sulphur taste and smell, so it may not be suitable for drinking, in our opinion. Despite these comments, we enjoyed our stay at the cabin.

Cute and cozy cabin in the woods. Exactly how we envisioned it. Our family had an amazing experience in Shenandoah Valley. I’ve been visiting this location for the past 10 years, and this was the best experience so far. Cabin was comfortable, clean, and decorated thoughtfully. We will be back again!

Marty and I love our cabin in Luray. We enjoy the peacefulness and solitude just a few days can bring. Marty is a retired Army veteran and I work in human resources for our church. Together we have 3 children and 2 grandchildren, all of whom love spending time at A Cozy Bear Cottage. It's great family fun but also cozy enough for just the two of us!
