The Space:
A quiet mountain morning settles in as steam rises from the hot tub and the Shenandoah Valley stretches beyond the trees. Cool air carries birdsong while the stillness of nature invites you to slow down, warm up, and feel tucked away yet close to town. After a day of exploring, you can unwind under the stars or curl up inside the single‑level cottage and let the comforts of home melt away the crisp mountain chill.
Sleeping arrangements
The cottage comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests across three bedrooms and a living area. One bedroom features a queen bed. The other two bedrooms each include a queen/twin bunk bed. In the living room, a pull‑out sofa provides additional sleeping space. Bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets are supplied for crisp evenings.
Living space
All rooms are on one level, so there are no stairs to navigate. Natural light fills the main living area, which offers comfortable seating, a TV for relaxed evenings, and WiFi (service may be slower or spotty due to the remote location). Central heating and air conditioning keep the interior comfortable year‑round.
Kitchen & dining
The fully equipped kitchen holds everything you need for home‑cooked meals, from hearty breakfasts to cozy dinners. A dining table nearby makes it easy to share meals together without leaving the property.
Outdoor living
The backyard and deck invite you to step outside any season. The outdoor hot tub is a favorite year‑round, perfect for soaking under the open sky after a chilly day. A fire pit offers a warm gathering spot as the sun sets, and a grill is available for outdoor cooking when the weather allows.
Family & pet‑friendly
Ellery Cottage welcomes families and dogs, providing children’s books, toys, and kid‑friendly dinnerware. Cats are not allowed. The spacious yard gives everyone room to play.
Practical comforts
A washer and dryer, bathroom essentials, a bathtub, free on‑site parking, a private entrance, and self‑check‑in with a lockbox add flexibility and ease to your stay.
Neighborhood & attractions
A short walk brings you to the Shenandoah River, offering scenic views in every season. Downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns are about a 10‑minute drive away, with local restaurants, breweries, shops, and seasonal festivals nearby. Shenandoah National Park and surrounding mountain scenery are close, making the cottage an ideal base for exploring the area.
Ideal for
Couples, families, or groups of friends seeking a relaxed mountain retreat with easy access to nature and town, no matter the season.
