Experience Luxury and Nature at Its Finest

Welcome to our stunning cabin, an elevated version of the beloved Goose and Gander Cabins. Nestled in a picturesque setting, this cabin offers unparalleled comfort and breathtaking views.

Step inside to find a cozy rock fireplace, perfect for warming up after a day of adventure. The cabin’s beautiful glass front opens up to a large deck, where you can relax in a 6-person hot tub while taking in the serene river views.

The master bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed, while the loft bedroom offers two queen-size beds. Both bedrooms boast huge windows, ideal for stargazing or enjoying the local scenery. The cabin’s log construction adds a rustic charm, complemented by hardwood floors throughout.

The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher, ensures you have everything you need for a comfortable stay. But the true highlight of this cabin is the phenomenal views of the river and the mountains, providing a perfect backdrop for your getaway.

Beautiful and Modern Cabin
I loved staying here and will definitely come back. The property was clean, modern, well-taken care of, and cozy. The hot tub was high quality. The location was great. The open windows of the back face the river so there is lots of privacy. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Loved it!

Cute Cabin - mins from Luray Caverns & Shenandoah!
Nice location, very private. Well appointed cabin with a hot tub on the deck overlooking the river. Hosts are very gracious & had it set up well. But dont forget your towels & sheets! No worries there if you do(like we did..lol)! Walmart is 10-15 mins away!

Lovely Luray
Charming, spacious very relaxing place to unwind. Far enough to feel away from any hustle bustle. Close enough to Luray to make amenities at hand in a few minutes. Really lovely town, we found everyone engaging and quick to smile. Views of splendor everywhere and are enjoyed best from the hot tub on the deck. Definitely take the time to check out Massanutten Country Corner

Great location!
Nice cabin with good layout and excellent location, close to everything in Luray. The mattresses and pillows were comfy, and the chairs in the basement were a nice touch. My one complaint is the kitchen: there weren’t many items to cook or bake with, and the ones there were older, scratched and rusty. The river was also fairly hard to access—we didn’t end up using the kayaks we brought because we didn’t think we could get them down and back. But overall, we would definitely stay here again!

Gorgeous Retreat and Hideaway
Absolutely loved this stay, what a beautiful place to relax and escape, by the river surrounded by trees, not too far to venture to some activities and the Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah River. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, stargazing and watching the fireflies at night and even got to watch a short lightning storm across the next valley. Only a 6/7 min drive to the supermarket, petrol station and some fast food places, a few more mins to the centre of Luray where there are a few small shops, cafes and a great ice-cream parlour. Our only very minor issue was that from the listing before booking it wasn’t obvious that we needed to bring our own bedding, and travelling from the UK that was an issue. However as soon as I messaged them about this they said they would sort it out for us. As soon as we arrived they were straight round with the bedding and towels and answered any questions we had. Great hosts, would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone that was looking to stay in the Luray area.

Great place
Check in was super easy. Got there and settled and sat in the chairs on the deck for a while. It stormed that night which was really cool to watch with the huge windows on the front. Storm came right in over the deck. Place was really nice and peaceful. Couldn’t figure out how to turn on a couple lights and the ceiling fan was a little bit of a pain to deal with but other than that absolutely awesome. Fiancé asked if we could start coming out to this place more so we will definitely be back!

Beautiful Quiet Retreat
We loved our stay at this fabulous cabin. The cabin was beautiful, well maintained and comfortable but I'll be honest that we spent almost every waking moment enjoying the river and mountain views from the balcony. The setting was so serene and the sound of the river and nature put us at ease from the moment we walked up the steps. We enjoyed fishing, walking the river banks, playing cornhole and relaxing in the hot tub. A++ stay! Thank you for hosting us!
