The Great Escape - Near everything yet off the beaten path

Located in the Shenandoah Valley our cabin is located on a quiet street on a 1/2 acre lot. The backyard is fenced for big and small dogs. On the back porch is a nice gas grill. A few steps down is a hot tub. The hot tub is nice especially when returning home from a day of hiking in the Shenandoah National Park which is only 20 minutes away. Inside the home are two bedrooms, each with a king size bed. We furnish wireless internet and satellite TV. I will email you a list of activities that are all close to our cabin. There is something for everyone at The Great Escape.

Clearly a Great Escape!

Overall fabulous stay! Fully furnished Cabin with fenced in backyard for our dogs to play in. Conveniently located close to Luray, NC and local attractions like Luray Caverns and Antique Car Museum.

This home is simply perfect. Clean, cozy, and charming. Sumptuous beds and linens, the hot tub under the stars, and morning coffee on the porch. It was just what we needed. Our hosts were on top of everything, including my request that the AC be on when we arrived on a hot afternoon. Thanks, Don and Lina
