What an awesome retreat from the hustle and bustle of every day life! This charming little cabin is just what was needed for some rest and relaxation. My friend made the reservations so I had no interaction with the owners of the cabin. But as soon as I walked in I could tell they are probably the nicest people. We were greeting with hand written message along with a jar of home grown honey from their granddaughters honey bees. I am one that searches for and reads the reviews for any and everything. Upon learning I would be spending the weekend here I did just that. After finding only 1 review prior to mine I was a bit nervous. But as soon as I walked in the front door all that went away. I can honestly say at the end of the weekend I did not want to leave! We were here in January and are looking forward to coming back in the spring. This home is a step back in time. The furnishing and amenities are outdated but that only added to the charm of this place. At first I thought, «whoa». But after a few minutes memories of my childhood started to flood in and I quickly appreciated what I was seeing. We will most definitely be back!

The Huffman Cabin is a beautiful log cabin in the middle of nowhere in Luray, VA, right at the edge of Shenandoah. It’s got two bedrooms, each with a full sized bed, a full kitchen, and living room with a fireplace and rocking chairs. A babbling brook and stream with a waterwheel are right outside and a deer filled forest boarders the cabin for 21 acres. We paid about $ 314 for two weekend nights, payable by cash or check only. Driving there at night, it can be hard to find. This really is a remote location, accessible by dirt road, in a very rural community. Since there were no Unilocal or other online reviews whatsoever, just a shady looking website with a phone number, we thought maybe we were driving to our doom, but it turned out not to be the case. Once we finally arrived, it was lovely and exactly what I was looking for to escape the stress and insanity of DC. If you’re looking to visit Shenandoah or Luray Caverns, there are closer, more centrally located cabins for the same price or less, but if you’re just looking to just get away from it all, like REALLY get away from it all, this is a great location. It was the only location not filled up after calling dozens of other cabins in Luray, which were all booked due to it being National Park Week and Spring Break. The couple that runs the cabin are so nice and accommodating. We arrived to see a welcome letter, some local fresh eggs from a nearby farm, and some delicious local honey made by the granddaughter of couple. The kitchen is well stocked with spices and sugar, flour, etc. The furniture is hand made and there are doilies and linens knit and sewn by couple that own the cabin. There’s no WiFi but we did get cell reception(we have Sprint), and there is a TV with cable and a surprisingly decent selection of movies on VHS. For locally roasted coffee, it’s worth the 8 mile drive to Central Coffee Roasters, and for dinner, try Hawkbill Diner for a very Twin Peaks experience. I debated whether to write this review because I suspect that once the word is out about this place, we’ll never get a reservation again, but the couple deserve your business. Best weekend break of 2014 for us!
