Just by the Skyland amphitheater is a building, on the top of an incline, facing west to Luray down below. There are four rooms here all with this breathtaking view made all the more gorgeous as the sun travels overhead and changes the color of the world below. At night, the stars are so vibrant that they can be seen while laying in bed. In the evening, the sunset is such an explosion of color it paints the walls. But in the early morning hours as the sun rises, it climbs on the other side of the mountain and slowly, gently, spreads over the valley floor. On this particular morning, it was below freezing and fog spread out through the valley, looking like a white ocean with waves that billowed and changed. The sun slowly burned away the fog, exposing a frost-covered land, and for a moment it felt like we were viewing the depths of a snowflake.

If you go to Skyland Resort in Shenandoah, spend the extra bucks for a good room with a view. Nearly all rooms overlook this valley in some way, but we splurged for a king bed and were so lucky to see this sight every morning with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

"Such a beautiful place. Well equipped. Definitely a great memory for the 2 of us! "

"Our family group of 10 has come several times in the winter. Beautiful house and location. The great room with huge fireplace and view of the Blue Ridge is perfect for hanging out in the winder, and the big and well-equipped kitchen is excellent for big family dinners.This time, a big winder storm presented some winter challenges, and the host did a great job of making things right. "

"Best Place to stay with Friends & Family with 8 Bedrooms to sleep. Love the location with close proximity to Luray Caves. Family friendly place to stay. Jane is very responsive with Texting, Great communicative person. Really love this stay."

"We altogether really loved our stay at this cabin! It's both cozy and spacious, and we really appreciated a bit of privacy/seclusion being in the woods. It had pretty much anything we needed to enjoy our stay, and the hosts were really communicative and wonderful in making our stay comfortable."

"This place was perfect for a family celebration. We had a great time relaxing around the fire pit in this laid back environment."

"We really enjoyed our stay in the house. It is exactly as pictured except even quieter and more peaceful. It's very remote but still only twenty minutes from shopping in Luray. House was well stocked with all of the essentials and made for a nice break in the country."
