About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cresta Blava in Beautiful Shenandoah Woods

Cresta Blava means “Blue Ridge” in Catalan and is fitting as it is situation in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. It is only 0.5 miles from 2 wedding venues (The Pavilion at Shenandoah Woods and Brenwood Lake Weddings), yet private and close to nature!

Cresta Blava is a recently-constructed (completed in March 2019) solid log cabin offering a blend of comfort and modern amenities. It has three bedrooms and 3.5 baths and is designed for three couples but can accommodate families with children as well. Each bedroom has a king bed with private bath. The master bath has a vanity with double sinks, a large soaking tub, separate shower, walk-in closet and private water closet. The second bedroom’s bath has a large vanity and traditional tub/shower combo. The third bedroom’s bath has a large vanity with double sinks and large shower stall. Each bedroom has a 40” Smart TV.

The main level offers a nicely appointed kitchen (including stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops), laundry room, dining area, two bedrooms, and great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and toasty gas fireplace. A large deck with seating and a gas fire pit is a perfect place to unwind and take in the stunning views … or sit inside and enjoy the views from the 2-story floor-to-ceiling windows! A 55” TV is mounted above the fireplace in the event you get tired of the stunning views. Want to cook out? Use our charcoal grill just outside the kitchen!

On our lower level you’ll find the third bedroom with bath, a second family room with 65” SmartTV with Blu-Ray DVD player, Foosball table, table and chairs perfect for games or puzzles, a wet bar, and separate deck with hot tub. With Wi-Fi and DirectTV, what else could you need?

NEW! We just upgraded our WiFi and now get blazing-fast speeds! Greater than 500Mbps was measured on the main floor! Your needs for working remotely are supported better than ever!

We also recently installed a 24kW Generac home generator capable of powering the entire home for days in the event of a power outage. No more worrying about losing power while preparing for a wedding event, cooking the elaborate holiday meal, or on that extra cold night!

* NOTE: For added security, the property has a Ring Doorbell at the main entrance and floodlights mounted on the upper front corners of the home, all containing surveillance cameras. The only places we can see your movements are OUTSIDE in the front and front-sides of the cabin. There are NO cameras, listening devices, etc. anywhere INSIDE the cabin nor overlooking the back decks or hot tub. This is for our protection as well as yours! If you have any questions about this please call (240) 730-7072.

Wonderful place
Of the four cabins that I’ve rented this one is the best so far. It is beautiful and spacious. It’s in excellent condition, and has great amenities. It felt very private, even though it’s not very far from the main roads. I highly recommend it, and will probably rent it again.

Great weekend getaway
In looking for a place to stay for a wedding weekend, our 3 couple friend group had a few “must have” items! One was a view, one was a hot tube, and the last was three bedrooms with king beds and 3 separate bathrooms! When we found this gem we knew we had hit the jackpot!! It checked ALL THREE “must haves”! We spent hours in the hot tube, took in the views from the porch balcony, and ventured into Luray for a tour of the caverns and the best lunch. The house was clean, welcoming, and well stocked!

AMAZING!!!! All that needs to be said about this property!
What a wonderful, clean and cozy home….nestled in the woods on top of a hill overlooking what seemed like a little valley. This place had the most spectacular views, all amenities as your own home, and most important…just peaceful and surrounded by beauty! Thanks Katie for allowing us to celebrate our 10 year anniversary in your home…we might just have to make it a tradition every year!

Mountain Weekend
We had a great stay at Cresta Blava! The house was exactly like the pictures and very clean! Perfect set up for 3 couples! The road leading up to the house is gravel and a little washed out in parts but definitely doable in a sedan with a little caution.

I highly recommend this property for a family getaway. The house is just as it is described, very clean, and has a well equipped kitched. Plenty of space for 3 couples. The fireplace inside, and the firepit on the deck were perfect accents to the beautiful view of the mountains.

Inn at Little Washington landing
We came for a dinner at the Inn at Little Washington and were looking for a comfortable spot for 2 adult couples. Found it - beautiful, comfortable and perfect for us. We made the most amazing dinner and breakfast there. Kitchen had everything we needed. We really needed an extra day to enjoy the home - the downstairs is awesome and we never had the time to use it or the hot tub area - which was also perfect. Very close to Luray caverns -which we went to and the hike/walk thru the community was just enough. Very quiet with the exception of birds and cows - lovely view off the deck - DO IT!

Beautiful rural getaway
This was a perfect spot for a weekend getaway — the view alone was worth it. It was rustic-feeling but also upscale, and felt secluded while still being within driving distance of local businesses. Our only regret was the weather was too warm for the hot tub but we’d 100% make another trip out for the fall or spring!

Property is beautiful. Cabin immaculate. Views are fantastic. Incredibly comfortable for 6 adults. Hosts are incredibly responsive - but we honestly rarely needed to message then as everything was clean and as described. Location is great for access to Shenandoah park. Sitting on the deck with a beer after a day hiking while watching the sun set behind the mountains is ideal.

Perfect family home
We enjoyed our stay at Cresta Blava! It was our first time there, and we will be back. The home had everything you need to enjoy a relaxing time in the Shenandoah area. It was extremely clean, everything was like new and comfortable. The hot tub was perfect, the firepit at sunset, meals on the picnic table all with fantastic views!

Wonderful Getaway
The house was amazing! It was so clean and well organized. The views were amazing. We had a group of 4 with age ranges of 65 to 73. There was only one step to get into the house. This was awesome since one person used a cane and one just had back surgery. We couldn’t have asked for a better house. Thanks to the owners for sharing with us!!

Beautiful Views!
This place was so amazing! They had a lot of cooking utensils, games, and the view was seriously amazing. The only downside is that the hot tub didn't seem to get hot (would only get warm). We found the cutest winery on a farm only 5 mins from the house too. Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous house, gorgeous views
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cresta Blava. The house was immaculate and the owner has thoughtfully supplied everything one could need for a relaxing restful stay. The beds are super comfortable, I believe they are tempur pedic, and the bathrooms are stocked with plenty of soft towels for both the shower and the hot tub. If you like to cook meals like we did, there are plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans, griddle, cast iron skillet. There's both a Keurig and a regular coffee maker. We had coffee in the morning on the deck and then watched the sunsets in the evening with a glass of wine sitting next to the fire table. The internet connection was fast enough for us to stream a movie and the hot tub was a welcomed refuge after a day of hiking. The owners take pride in hosting their guests and providing a perfect getaway for family and friends. We can't wait to return and experience more of the area in a warmer season.

Spectacular property
Four of us (2 couples) stayed here while hiking Shenandoah and having great meals (Watch & Warrant) and coffee (Broad Porch) in nearby Luray. The photos do not lie & the previous glowing reviews are accurate. Everything was spotless, including the hot tub. It feels nice and secluded but you truly are near everything. The property owner was immediately responsive when a minor issue came up. The kitchen is well equipped, though if you are a serious cook bring your spices as there was just salt, pepper & olive oil. But really that is a minor point/heads up. We loved staying here, loved the area, and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly highly recommend!
