The Elora - Spacious Luxury Historic Retreat

Welcome to Elora! Step into the past with our delightful 1913 American Four Square-styled home, cozied up in nearly two acres of tranquility. Sun-drenched rooms, a cozy library, and a dreamy kitchen await your stay. You'll adore our six spacious bedrooms and the timeless charm of our wrap-around porch. From sipping morning coffee to stargazing from the porch, at Elora, unforgettable memories are just a stay away!

Welcome to our spacious 1913 American Four Square home! This historic property boasts a generous layout with six bedrooms, or seven if you include the cozy sitting room. Additional sleeping accommodations can be found in the form of two pull-out beds, making the home perfectly suited for large family gatherings or group vacations.

Two full bathrooms provide ample convenience, and for your laundry needs, we offer a washer and dryer on-site. Additionally on site we have hair dryers and shower supplies for your convince.

While we maintain two beautiful fireplaces as part of the home's original aesthetic, we must inform you that they are inoperable. There is no indoor fireplace, however, you can be assured that you will remain comfortably warm through our efficient heating system. Our home features a heat pump and hot water radiators that keep the house warm when needed.

The kitchen is fully-equipped for all your culinary needs. However, please note that there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. We kindly ask guests to utilize the provided trash disposal facilities. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer a recycling service at this time.


Where You'll Be

Our home sits in the heart of an area rich with natural and local attractions. We are conveniently located near the George Washington National Forest, an outdoor enthusiast's paradise, as well as the intriguing Shenandoah Caverns and Endless Caverns.

Close by, you'll find a host of dining options, including a delightful seafood shop, a quaint ice cream shop, and a variety of local wineries and a cidery. To top it off, you're only a short walk away from the town park on the beautiful Shenandoah River.

Thank you for considering our home for your stay. We can't wait to welcome you!

Guests will have exclusive access to the entire home during their stay, giving you the freedom to enjoy and relax in all the indoor spaces provided. This includes all six (or seven, including the sitting room) bedrooms, the common areas, and the two bathrooms.

In addition, guests are free to explore and take advantage of our nearly 2-acre property. You're welcome to enjoy outdoor meals, play games, or simply unwind amidst the peaceful scenery.

However, please note that there are two exterior buildings on the property that are not included in your rental. These buildings are used by us for storage, and we kindly request that you do not attempt to access these areas.

We're excited to share our home with you, and hope you find it as inviting and enjoyable as we do!

While we strive to respect your privacy and ensure you have an uninterrupted stay, we are always available and happy to assist should you have any queries or concerns. Our primary form of communication is through the Airbnb platform, ensuring you have a record of our conversation and all the information you need at your fingertips.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need recommendations for local attractions, eateries, or if you have any questions about the house. We have a wealth of knowledge about the area and are more than happy to share.

Welcome to Timberville, Virginia! Nestled within the scenic Shenandoah Valley, our Airbnb is ideally situated in a serene and tranquil residential neighborhood.

This community is perfect for those looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. With vast open spaces, verdant landscapes, and tree-lined streets, it's a sanctuary where you can take a breath and slow down.

Just a short walk from our doorstep, you'll find a smattering of local businesses that gives this town its distinct character. Among these are family-owned eateries where you can sample local Virginian cuisine, charming antique stores for the treasure-hunters, and boutique shops that showcase the local artisans' craftsmanship.

The neighborhood is also conveniently located close to the North Fork Shenandoah River, making it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. You'll find plenty of opportunities for fishing, canoeing, and bird-watching. The surrounding area is also replete with hiking trails that offer spectacular views, and the nearby Shenandoah National Park adds to the natural beauty.

Despite its small-town charm, Timberville offers all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. You'll have easy access to grocery stores, pharmacies, and healthcare services. It's also noteworthy to mention that the community is incredibly safe and the locals are known for their Southern hospitality.

Timberville is a town that embraces its history, and you'll notice that as you walk by its historic buildings and landmarks. Don't miss a visit to the Plains District Memorial Museum to delve into local history.

As a guest in our neighborhood, you will enjoy a quiet and peaceful environment while having easy access to everything you need. Enjoy the best of both worlds - a tranquil retreat and an opportunity to explore, all from our charming Airbnb. Enjoy your stay!

Timberville is a compact town, which means getting around is fairly straightforward. Many local amenities, such as grocery stores, restaurants, and local boutiques, are within walking or cycling distance. However, if you prefer to drive, you'll find navigating the local streets easy and stress-free.

We also encourage you to explore the stunning natural beauty that surrounds Timberville. For that, a vehicle might be helpful. Locations like Shenandoah National Park or the North Fork Shenandoah River are a short drive away and offer an array of outdoor activities.

For those interested in venturing further afield, nearby larger towns such as Harrisonburg and Winchester are both less than an hour's drive away and provide a wider range of shopping and dining experiences.

Parking:

One of the best features of this Airbnb is its ample on-site parking. Our large outdoor space can accommodate multiple vehicles, making it ideal for those traveling in groups or with family. You won't have to worry about finding a spot, navigating tight city parking, or paying daily parking fees during your stay. The area is safe, well-lit, and easy to access, allowing you to come and go as you please with peace of mind.

Whether you plan to stay local or explore the wider region, our Airbnb provides the perfect base with convenient and plentiful parking to boot.

We prioritize your safety and comfort. Our home is regularly cleaned and maintained to ensure a comfortable and hygienic environment for your stay.


Though our home is equipped with a kitchen for your convenience, there is no garbage disposal in the kitchen sink. We kindly ask that all waste be disposed of in the provided trash bins.

While our property boasts two beautiful, original fireplaces, please note that these are not operational and are purely decorative.

The two exterior buildings on the property are not accessible as they are used for storage.

We are nestled in an area rich with natural attractions and local amenities. However, transportation may be necessary to access some sites, so please plan accordingly.

We want your stay to be as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us. We are more than happy to assist you. We look forward to welcoming you to our home!
