Summary:
Ellery Cottage is a modern, newly-renovated cottage nestled in the mountains, steps from the Shenandoah River and downtown Luray.

The highlights:
- Relax in the outdoor hot tub!

Enjoy!

The Space:
Our family-friendly cottage is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or groups of friends.

The cottage includes:
- Outdoor hot tub perfect for relaxing
- 3 bedrooms: one bedroom with a queen bed, and two bedrooms with a queen/twin bunk bed – plus a pull out sofa in the living room (don’t worry, it’s comfortable!)
- Fully-stocked kitchen with stove/oven, microwave, and dishwasher
- Smart TV where you can quickly sign-in to your favorite streaming service
- WiFi for streaming movies or taking video calls
- Central AC and heat to keep you comfortable
- Washer and dryer

Outside, you’ll also find:
- Outside fire pit with seating for the whole gang
- Huge backyard, outdoor yard games, deck, and grill
- An outdoor yard game treasure box full of activities for kids and adults: corn hole, volleyball, soccer and kick balls, horseshoes, and many more!

We often take our three little kids and dog to the cottage with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).

Please note:
This property offers convenient one-story living, making it easy to settle in and enjoy your stay.

Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but given the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or other outdoor elements—especially during certain seasons. Nature has a way of leaving its mark, no matter how often we tidy up, and we appreciate your understanding.

Wi-Fi is provided, though service can occasionally be slower or spotty due to the remote mountain location. We recommend downloading any essential content in advance so you can fully relax and enjoy your stay.

Thank you for understanding, and we hope you embrace the adventure—this peaceful, scenic setting is exactly what makes Ellery Cottage such a special mountain escape!

Beyond the cottage itself, we love how close we are to downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns – both just a 10 minute drive away. Beyond the caves (which we recommend you definitely check out), the town has fantastic breweries, restaurants, and shops for you to enjoy!

Overall we had a good experience. Communication with the owner/manager was really smooth and clear. Check in/out was simple. The jacuzzi was really clean and nice. The property wasn't quite as updated as I expected from the pictures; this clearly was an older home in need of a lot of updates, and they did just enough to make it presentable for a vacation rental. For example, the walls have been painted, but the ceilings have not (the dark stain of years of stove use is clear in the kitchen), and the painting is sloppy- there are splatters of colored paint on the ceiling, for example. There are new floors and appliances, but the kitchen and bathroom cabinetry is quite old (and they need new shower curtains!) Nevertheless, the furnishing is new and bright, the beds are comfortable, and the bedding and towels are nice. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, and I appreciated the labeling on all the light switches! The rooms are spacious and air conditioning worked well for our August visit. We didn't feel comfortable using the fire pit outside because the grass was too overgrown (too many opportunities for ticks!) Overall, we had a good experience, and the house provided a good home base for explorations of Luray, Shenandoah National Park, and the surrounding areas.

Great location and Cozy

It was a great location and had a good amount of space. The bunk beds were queen AND a double on top, so bigger than anticipated. Heating was great and location was beautiful.Challenges: The TV wouldn't let us log in to our netflix, amazon or hulu accounts so we were limited, and the parental controls on the wifi seemed to be on as well.The hot tub was warm, but we were unable to get the display on and use it effectively, which was hard because it was a main reason for selecting the property. We followed the video instructions and communicated, but there was a snowstorm starting a day later, and no one was able to come before we checked out. A great place, just need to ensure the hot tub is working properly if that matters to you.

Nice comfortable house

This house met our needs and was a good location to do things in Luray and at Shenandoah National Park. The house was very clean, but the yard needed mowed when we arrived, there was garbage left in the yard. Our dog enjoyed the yard, but we were surprised to see barbed wire around the perimeter fence. We needed to watch him closely because of this. Online communication was good. We enjoyed the games, hot tub, and spacious layout of the house.

Great Stay!

This cabin fit exactly what we needed. It was in a central location to all of our weekend activities, and the cabin had plenty of space for everyone (8 adults). While it was in a quiet area, some of the neighbors dogs definitely don't know what quiet time is. And since we went in the winter, the trees separating the backyard from the neighbors back yard were bare. Meaning we could see directly into their house and they could definitely see us. Overall a great weekend!

Cute getaway

The location was nice and quiet. It was fairly secluded, and the backyard was closed off with bushes. The cabin was clean; however, we found crumbs in one of the bunk beds and a few stains on the linens. One of the rooms had a window that wouldn't lock, but we were able to get it unstuck. The hot tub was warm, but it did not feel as clean as others we have tried. There were a lot of pots and pans and cooking utensils available.

The cottage was clean and comfortable. We rented it for a quick family trip and it was perfect. The host was accommodating however be mindful that check out is at 10 am unlike other locations which give you until 11 am. The river access mentioned is a quarter mile away about 12 minute walk or two minute drive. The water is stagnant and has a odor.

Nice Stay

We appreciate the nice stay. It is a solid and well equipped cabin that slept our family very comfortably. Hit all the basics, and the owner/management team was generally responsive and friendly. We missed a little of the scenic magic of some of the other local properties we have visited, but that shouldn't diminish anyone's view on the quality of the cabin or experience.

Updated cottage, perfect for visiting Luray sights

The cottage is pretty new, and the hot tub and fire pit were great. We had young kids, and a dog with us and all were comfortable. We visit the caverns and made s'mores. Would stay again!
