Dog Friendly Cabin near River on Nearly 5 acres w/Strong WiFi + Robust Amenities

Welcome to Whistling Woods Retreat ~ nestled in the heart of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley ~ walking distance to the Shenandoah River, public boat slip, stocked fishing pond, and the GW National Forest! No matter the reason or season that brings you to the beautiful Shenandoah, our cute and cozy cabin in Luray is ready to meet all of your accommodation needs. Enjoy a quiet romantic retreat or invite some friends for a break from the city life. River fun, mountain hiking, biking, horseback riding, strolls down the Luray Greenway, or a drive down Skyline Drive are all within a short distance of the cabin!

Located on nearly 5 acres, our family cabin backs to the GW National Forest and is walking distance to both the Shenandoah River and Shenandoah River Outfitters where the river fun never seems to end! There you can enjoy tubing, canoeing, kayaking, rafting, fishing, and swimming. There are also 5 public river access areas for the do it yourselfers, including one less than a 60-second drive from the cabin!

Built by my grandfather in 1973, the cabin boasts 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a large masonry fireplace open all season long, sustainable amenities, and a mostly fenced-in yard with serene mountain views. With sustainability in mind, we've outfitted the cabin with septic- (and environment-) friendly products and features intended for you to reduce your footprint. The kitchen is fully equipped with brand new appliances and robust amenities. Complimentary amenities include tea, coffee, hot chocolate, bakeware, cookware, baking sheets, and small appliances (Cuisinart coffee/tea maker, microwave, toaster, air fryer, egg cooker, crock pot, and tea kettle). The large back deck boasts an electric grill and six adirondack chairs perfectly positioned around a fire pit to make s'more memories. Garbage bags, paper towels, biofilm disposal bags, and Beekman 1802 bathroom amenities are also all supplied! One queen-sized bed, one full-sized bed, and one twin-sized bed will comfortably sleep 5; we also have a queen-sized sleeper sofa and tri-fold mattress in the livingroom to accommodate additional guests.

If you find yourself wanting to spend some time indoors, we have plenty to fill your day! Free *STRONG* Wi-Fi internet and a Smart TV will keep you connected. We also have a library of books, DVDs, board games, puzzles, and cards to enjoy as well! Sun up to sun down, you have stunning, serene views from every room as you take in the nearly 5 acres of property. There is something for everyone and NO traffic, just a relaxing hide-away! Make a campfire and tell stories with your friends late into the evening hours while taking in the STUNNING star-filled sky.

Check-in is at 3:00 PM; Check-out is at 11:00 AM.

Whistling Woods Retreat Rules:

We are a dog friendly property for pets that are housebroken, well-behaved, flea/tick free, and kept on a leash when outdoors to comply with Page County leash laws. All pets must be taken with you when departing the cabin or safely crated if ever left alone. There is a flat $50 USD pet fee, per dog. Please disclose that your furry friends will be joining you when booking your stay! NOTE: Flea/Tick treatment is a MUST; please remember to thoroughly check your pet(s) for ticks during the warm months.

Whistling Woods Retreat is proud to offer reasonable trash removal of bagged, residential waste for our guests; however, if your party produces waste that exceeds one 13 gal. bag of residential trash per overnight stay, please take the excess waste directly to the Battle Creek Landfill located at 219 Landfill Drive in Luray. The landfill is open Monday-Saturday, 8am-4pm. Any waste left behind that exceeds one 13 gal. bag per day may be subject to a $30 USD disposal fee per bag. Please do NOT leave any trash or food remnants outside as this will attract unwanted wildlife. The property is prone to occasional animal visitors; although some may be welcome (like our neighbor's friendly cow), we'd like to discourage them from browsing the grounds for evidence of food waste. Thank you!

Following Luray-based norms, all Whistling Woods Retreat bookings require a signed Renter Agreement (acknowledging the above property rules) and a security deposit hold/hold (not a charge). Any prospective renter may request and receive an advance copy of our Renter Agreement. Refusal to sign the Renter Agreement or agree to the security deposit hold constitutes a booking cancelation, which would trigger our cancelation policy.

NOTE: This property has a total of two (2) exterior motion-sensing Ring cameras that have recording capability: one overlooks the gravel road approaching the cabin and one overlooks our gravel parking area and entrance gate. There are no other exterior cameras and no/no interior cameras or monitoring devices. These listed cameras are to verify occupancy (people and pets) and for security when the property is vacant. In addition:

* This property does not have a dishwasher.
* The indoor fireplace requires logs designed for indoor burning; please don't use any outdoor wood on property for the indoor fireplace.
* As previously stated, this property has a loose gravel driveway, which is standard with nearly all nearby mountain properties. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions/concerns in advance of or during your stay. Thank you!

Absolutely Beautiful!

Wow! This property sits in the most perfect spot! Breathtaking views everywhere you turn! The cabin was very clean and we appreciated the nice gestures from the host. The cabin was perfect for our little family. The pup loved the window in front of the cabin so she could watch her “squirrel TV”… simply beautiful… we had the best time and we will definitely come back! Jessica was very prompt in responding and very knowledgable about the things to do in and around the area.

Great place to come “home” to

My older kids and I enjoyed the comforts of the cabin after spending our days hiking, canoeing, exploring the Caverns and surrounding towns. The drive into town felt a little long at times, but it was beautiful and worth it to have the privacy and quiet.

Getaway with my kids

We had a fantastic time at the cabin. Definitely need a car with hug clearances to get to the cabin safely but once there all you need awaits you. Clearly marked amenities and privacy to enjoy nature as a family. The board games and puzzles and s’mores were excellent touches.
