My husband and I took a spur of the moment get away to Luray. The Inn was clean and had a relaxing atmosphere. Art was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed to help us have the best experience. We received a special treat when Linda, Art's sister, stopped by on her travels. She was very sweet and cooked an amazing breakfast casserole! He is very knowledgeable with the surrounding area from hiking trails, areas of interests to restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed our stay!

The Inn is very cozy and comfortable. Art was very hospitable and really took care of us. The morning breakfast was freshly made and tasted awesome. My only negative comment is that there are not many places to eat that are walkable, and most close very early. There is a nice steak/chop house next door but closes at 8:00 pm.

My husband and I enjoyed a two night stay at this gem of a BnB!! Our innkeeper, Art, was thoughtful, attentive, and informative. He texted us a few days before arrival about things happening in the area during our dates of stay. He kept in touch via text on our arrival day regarding arrival time and parking. regaled us with stories of his many interesting travels and was extremely knowledgeable about local restaurants and must sees. We had amazing breakfasts including a corn crab quiche from the bakery across the street, lovely pastries and bread and fruit. We were offered an assortment of smoothies and beverages. One morning, he even walked across the street to pick up just-baked cinnamon rolls from the bakery and served them to us still warm! The rooms were nice and clean. The bedding was comfy. Great porch and deck areas to enjoy an evening cocktail. We enjoyed eating at Chops, the steakhouse next door, and Mimslyn Inn. We had a fantastic weekend going to wineries and exploring Luray. We would definitely return.

Spent 2 nights here over Memorial weekend. As soon as we arrived Janina warmly welcomed us and showed us to our room. We stayed in the Turret suite, which had a king size bed, jacuzzi, and a separate reading/tv alcove. The jacuzzi was an enjoyable detail after a long day of hiking. There are bath salts provided as well. Janina cooked us breakfast each morning and we enjoyed the hearty breakfast before our hikes. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay near Shenandoah.

Home away from home

Janina and Matthew were the perfect hosts. We quickly felt like old friends. The Inn was just what we were looking for and was the perfect base of operations for exploring Shenandoah National Park (Skyline Drive) and the surrounding valley area. Lurray was a friendly and quaint village. The inn was historic, architectural pleasing, clean, and breakfast was consistently excellent, including the conversations that helped up organize our day and appreciate the beautiful area that we were visiting. We will stay there again.

Great place for a weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our brief stay. Hosts Janine, Matthew, and Larry were wonderful. They catered to our every need and offered great recommendations. Our room had a huge whirlpool tub that was perfect after a long day of hiking. All in all a delightful place located near hiking, distilleries, wineries, and tons of other things.

Lovely Inn owned by a Lovely Couple

This place is a gem. The town is lovely and is in an awesome location. Lots of little restaurants nearby and Luray Caverns about 5 minutes away. What makes this property extra special is the couple that runs it. Matthew and Janina were absolutely wonderful. They went above and beyond with their hospitality. They even served hot chocolate to my 6-year-old nephew who stopped by to visit... which was so kind. Breakfast was served hot with a smile in the mornings by Janina and Matthew is a wealth of knowledge regarding things to do nearby. My husband and I were visiting for Thanksgiving weekend. We would certainly return again.

We had a fabulous stay at this cozy inn with European charm, loads of amenities, a homemade breakfast, and a lovely host who made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We will definitely return, perhaps in the fall to take advantage of the changing foliage along Skyline Drive and enjoy a bit of antiquing in the shops of Luray.

This bed and breakfast was absolutely beautiful. Matthew and Janina were so nice and welcoming. They made sure we had everything we needed. The room we stayed in was the stained glass suite and it was amazing and spacious. Whenever we go back to Shenandoah, we will check and see if they have any rooms available first before booking anywhere else.

Very friendly hosts, nice place, spacious. Two downsides: a terrible, terrible bed in the French Cottage. Had a hard time sleeping. And wasn’t really enthusiastic about the breakfast. Prepared with love, but not quit my taste.
