About this property

Secluded Cottage on 10 Acres. Close to Shen. Natl. Park and Luray Caverns

Old Mine Cottage is outfitted with quite a few amenities that will make your stay very enjoyable! A 5 person hot tub is always a hit with younger and older guests alike, and for a perfectly relaxing experience, the outdoor fire pit is a great place to unwind after a day of sightseeing, golfing, or however you choose to spend your time in Luray! The kitchen is beautifully designed and comes complete with every appliance needed, including a dishwasher. There is a washer and dryer on site as well for those who wish to use them. Every few hours the train comes through, and the property is just the right distance from the tracks for it to be charming. There is a brand new TV in the living room, with a DirecTV package, and a DVD player. The inside of the cottage has a very rustic feel to it. Everything is completely new, but was carefully crafted to feel very comfortable and unique. The property sits at a convenient location to get to, with only a 10 minute drive to nearly everything you could need to do.

Cute cottage experience
Very cute property and home. Our stay was comfortable and hosts were responsive. There are train tracks nearby, but we didn't get woken up in the night by passing trains. Bathroom was very clean and there were plenty of towels for bath/shower/hot tub.

Privacy
My partner and I truly enjoyed the accommodations offered however, we believe that the front door and side door leading to the patio need covering from curious on-lookers or for a feeling of more security. The same consideration should be extended to the window in the kitchen and bathroom. The clear visibility of the interior of the house from these areas should be an option of the occupants NOT an expected one of the owner. **Keith and I had to cover these areas in order to feel a level of privacy and security. Thank you.

Rustic cottage in Luray
Overall the house was acceptable. It was clean and had the amenities as listed on the site. There was water leaking from the ceiling of the family room the entire stay. The water pressure in the bathroom made it difficult to even wash your hands at the sink or take a shower. The house worked for us, since we spent most of our time hiking, but the issues we had would prevent us from booking again or recommending this house to others.

Country Comfort
A beautifully renovated home with country charm in an amazing setting. The Blue Ridge Mountains in full view from the covered front porch, the sun setting over the mountains, the train rattling down the tracks and the fireflies over the fields made for the perfect stay in Luray. The beds are very comfortable, the bedrooms are tastefully decorated, the bathroom is renovated and the kitchen is well-furnished. Darling farm house! Look forward to staying here again.

Cottage Charm
Loved the location…privacy, spacious. Charmingly decorated with all needs met. Hosts is readily available and accommodating. Close to so many “treasures”… Luray Caverns for all you physical science thrill seekers, Skyline Drive for all you scenic hikers, plenty of charming shops, breweries/wineries, with the small town charm of Mayberry. Fabulous family setting. Highly recommend!

Blissful stay
I had the most blissful, relaxing stay. The house is charming, comfortable, and well taken care of. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. My pups loved the wide open yard and we all enjoyed the front porch. It would have been perfect if the front porch had rockers or a porch swing, but it was great anyway. We used the firepit and hot tub each night. It was a short drive to Luray, but the quietness that we experienced at this home was amazing. There were many moments when the only sound was the wild turkey gobbles or the whippoorwill singing. The nearby train crossing added to the experience and I loved it all. I am an airplane geek, and this home was on the pathway to Dulles or Reagan International. I spent hours each night watching the planes turn on their landing lights as they cleared the mountain range. I know, I'm a nerd, but it was wonderful. I hope to make this a yearly spring getaway.

Perfect Getaway Location
The cottage was an ideal basecamp for exploring Luray and the Shenandoah Valley parks. Close enough to get to stores and restaurants but still feels away from anyone else. I can't recommend this house enough - will be looking for an opportunity to return.

Outstanding Stay in Shenandoah Valley
This is a property when you leave you wish it was yours! Exceeded our expectations and was everything we thought it would be and more. As others have noted, interior is much better in person than some of the photos may lead you to believe. As described, everything is new, clean, and very functional. Hats off to Gerald for restoring this older farm cottage to preserve historical character and also achieve modern function and comfort. It is not grand, but perfectly done in character and scale. Its quaint, comfortable, and cozy. Perfect size and vibe for our family of 5. Though we did watch TV for a bit, the property somehow pulled us (including our 3 kids) all towards more enriching ways to pass time - reading, napping, kids playing in yard, relaxing in jacuzzi...unrushed and left feeling renewed. The nearby railroad is the cherry on top....adds perfect touch of charm and sense of place. My only feedback would would be that the living room could be more comfortable and ample. Very nice and clean couch and chair, but not very comfortable nor ample enough for more than 3-4 people. Again, I was more drawn to read on the front porch or take a walk to the train than I was to watch TV, but comforting and inviting common areas are important in vacation homes. By no means a deal killer. We'll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Gerald Dovel

Host profile image
We have lived in Luray, VA our entire lives, and have always loved it here. 20 years ago after our home was paid for I bought our first monthly rental property on High Street in downtown Luray. It was a big investment, and lots of long nights after work were spent there to bring it into the condition I wanted, but it turned out great. A lot has changed since then, and 1 monthly rental property has turned into 32. Two years ago we decided to expand our horizons and move into more than just monthly rentals, which ultimately led to Old Mine Cottage. It took a two year process to get to today, but the result is a gorgeous property that is ready to be utilized. As we continue to grow in the business world we invite you to come and stay with us. Let us know how we did. We think you will be impressed.

What makes this property unique

This property offers a unique location in a quiet, rural area of our county. It is only two and one half miles from the main highway. Yet it is set on miles of paved country roads with very little traffic. Perfect location for biking enthusiasts.
