Charming cottage at the foot hills of the Shenandoah National Park | House in Luray

3 Bedroom House in Luray
The Jewell Hollow Cottage is nestled at the foothills of the Shenandoah National Park, perfectly situated to act as home base while you explore all that the Shenandoah Valley has to offer- hiking, swimming, and canoeing, the Blue Ridge Whisky Wine Loop, as well as unique local attractions, such as Luray Caverns. With its quiet, rural setting and comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces, the cottage is the perfect getaway for couples, families or friends.
We are new to Vrbo but have many excellent reviews on another short term rental platform since we started hosting in 2023.
The space
Built in the late 1800's, the Cottage is unique, comfortable and steeped in local history. Although in use as a 3 bedroom, one bath cottage for quite some time, it was originally built as a general store for locals living in what's now the Shenandoah National Park. The "Old Judd Store" has played its part in the history of the area!
The kitchen is charming and fully equipped to meet your cooking needs. The dining room seats 6 comfortably and the large living room windows connect the indoors to the beautiful surroundings.
Each of the three bedrooms have their own unique charm but all three have cozy beds and nice bedding for an excellent nights sleep. The main bedroom has a twin sleeper sofa as well as a queen bed. The second room has a queen bed and the third a twin.
Off one side of the house is a private porch. The view of the field across the street with the mountains rising behind is wonderful in the morning while enjoying a cup of coffee, watching the mist and sun rise and listening to the birds waking up.
Off the other side of the house is a west facing deck to enjoy the sunset and perhaps a local wine, beer or spirit (please ask us for recommendations!).
