We would love to come back. We had plenty of room and yet it had a cozy feel! Plenty of room for the kids to play outside. The fire pit was a big hit. The kitchen was amazing except there’s no handle for the microwave. Some furniture was a little dilapidated. We did have problems with a couple of leaky faucets(that we reported). We would give this an 8 out of 10.

Very good for large family gathering
We had a family get together and really enjoyed the stay at the property. Lots of bedrooms and space for everyone. Close to stores and downtown Luray which was nice as well. Would recommend and consider staying again if circumstances permit.

This house was perfect for our group that was just there a few days to hike Old Rag. Jane was great to work with. The house was clean and has lots of room for large groups. The drive is about 40 minutes to Old Rag.

Good place for family reunion
Only one working fridge. But otherwise this was a great spot for our reunion. The outside yard was not conducive to unsupervised play due to debris and electric fence

Great home for large groups
The house has an unusual layout but it worked very well for our family holiday gathering. We had 14 adults, including 4 couples, plus a 3 year old and an infant. There are 5 good sized bedrooms down a long hall, opposite a large living room we used for games. Three more bedrooms are in a different wing with the kitchen, dining area and another living room. It offers privacy but is very close to Luray Caverns. The 3 year old was especially taken with watching the animals on the farm behind the house. This may not be the best choice for guests wanting a modern, upscale home, but we were quite content there. It even had a Christmas tree and large Santa figure by the fireplace.

Family reunion in Luray
The Alcove is ideally located 5 min from downtown Luray, from Luray Caverns and close to some good restaurants. Beds were comfy and the living room had more than enough seating for the family as did the screened in porch though if you use all 8 bedrooms, you will need a few more seats on the porch. Wi Fi worked great as did the large TV. Don't let the industrial kitchen scare you away as everything was provided though a toaster would be a good addition.. There is no dishwasher. Do bring your own shampoo and body wash. This is not a modern, "up to date" property. It could best be described as unconventional, but again comfortable and provided us with all we needed.

Perfect location
We had a family group of 11 stay at The Alcove. Plenty of room for everyone. Unique floor plan worked great for us. Comfortable beds. Super clean. We read all the reviews and comments thoroughly so we knew what to expect. DSL is DSL. However we tied into two zoom meetings without issue. My Sister-in-law ate a pear off the tree outside and declared it the best ever. Never ran out of hot water. Parking was abundant. Location is great. So close to everything. It’s an older place and has its quirks but that made it fun!

A great place to stay in Luray!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Alcove at Luray. The house was clean and it had plenty of bedrooms and dining areas for our large group of college friends and their young families. Jane was quick to answer any questions we had and made sure that we were well taken care of. The Alcove is located off of a busy highway, which made access a little tricky at times, but it also was within easy driving distance of various attractions such as the caverns, hiking trails and Ralph H. Dean Recreation Park, which has one of the best playground areas that I've ever seen! The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is because the outside areas were a little unkept during our stay. There are dead trees in the yard, the chicken coop is overgrown and has poison ivy growing next to it, and we found a hornets nest under a stump in the yard (which we notified the property manager of). The grass was also a little long for easy play. We would definitely consider staying at the Alcove again, and if they clean up the outside areas a bit, it would be an easy 5-star review!

Roomy, clean, and all the amenities. Would have liked to know that the well water was not suitable for drinking or cooking before arriving. Otherwise, highly recommend.
