SpiritTrailRiverCabin May19-24 5Ngts-MidWeekSpecial $500

Really enjoyable stay at a perfect riverside oasis. We have rented other weekend cabins in the area and Spirit River Trail is now at the top of our list. We look for getting value and what is advertised for the price. SRT offered all of that and then some. Lovely location, well maintained property, and all of the amenities we needed to get away and still maintain a modicum of connectivity.

If I had any suggestion, it would be to get a new coffeemaker. That's it. That's the list.

Owner was communicative, responsive, and honest. All we could ask for. We are looking forward to visiting again!

We spent 9 days at Spirit River Trail Cabin...and it was the best vacation we have ever had. We had a very stressful year and wanted (and needed) a relaxing yet fun filled vacation away from it all! My daughter had never seen snow and the criteria for our vacation was; a cabin in the woods, if it didn't snow we wanted to be close enough to a resort that made snow and we wanted to be close to interesting things to see. Check, check and check! Not only was the cabin deep in the woods, but it was absolutely beautiful and the property is breathtaking! We were close to Massanutten Ski Resort and while we were there, it began to snow! The cabin got a couple of inches Christmas Eve and 5-6 inches the day after Christmas! It was an hour and a half drive from town to Washington DC where we saw parts of history that we had only read about or seen in a photograph. All vacation criteria met! The cabin itself is wonderful and Miss Anna and her husband were so accommodating to every need. What wonderful hosts! If you are wanting to be in the perfect location to relax, get away from it all yet be close enough to all kinds of activities and sights, then this is the place to be! We are already talking about next years vacation...at Spirit River Trail Cabin! We fell in love with the town of Luray and may have found our retirement location! All in all it was perfect and we were more than pleased!

If you are reading this review because you are considering renting this cabin, stop considering right now and just do it.

The pictures on this site do not give the cabin justice. This cabin is absolutely beautiful and incredibly comfortable. It gives the saying "home away from home" a new meaning.

After an almost nightmarish trip to the Outer Banks last fall, my husband and I were a bit comprehensive about going away on a honeymoon, but I am very glad we did. Our experience with this cabin was completely different, and all around wonderful. The owner, Anna, was more than accommodating. We were unwilling to travel anywhere without our pets, and having a pit bull and a cat, it isn't particularly easy to find a place that will allow either, let alone both, but Anna was perfectly fine with it from the start, and truly went above and beyond, providing an extra water bowl, towels, and even some treats for our dog, and offering to get us anything we needed for our cat.

If you are planning on travelling with your pets, this is a perfect place to do so. The yard was more than big enough for our dog to get in her daily exercise, and our cat especially loved the big, numerous windows and the loft.

The only downside to this cabin is that it's so comfortable and serene, it almost makes it hard to want to leave and explore the town, which is breathtaking. We were there for five days and didn't get to do everything we wanted, there was so much. Every restaurant we went to in town was delicious and reasonably priced, especially the Gathering Grounds, which Anna suggested to us.

My husband and I are already contemplating a return trip for our first anniversary, and would love to stay in this cabin again. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a peaceful but fun-filled trip, and that five days simply did not feel like enough time.
