The Space:
A quiet mountain morning greets you as steam rises from the hot tub and the Shenandoah Valley stretches beyond the trees. Cool air carries birdsong, and the stillness invites you to slow down, warm up, and feel tucked away while still close to town. Inside, the single‑level cottage feels instantly welcoming, with natural light spilling over comfortable seating and a modern, newly‑renovated interior.
Sleeping arrangements
The cottage comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. One bedroom holds a queen bed, while the other two bedrooms each feature a queen/twin bunk bed. A pull‑out sofa in the living room provides additional sleeping space. Fresh linens, extra pillows, and blankets are supplied for crisp mountain nights.
Living space
All rooms are on one level, eliminating stairs and making movement easy for families and pets. The living area centers around a TV for relaxed evenings, and Wi‑Fi is available throughout, though service can be slower in this remote setting. Central heating and air conditioning keep the interior comfortable year‑round.
Kitchen & dining
A fully equipped kitchen offers everything needed for home‑cooked meals, from hearty breakfasts to cozy dinners. A dining table nearby makes it simple to share meals without leaving the property, and a grill is ready for outdoor cooking when the weather permits.
Outdoor living
Step onto the deck to find a hot tub that beckons under the open sky, perfect for soaking after a day of exploring. A fire pit provides a warm gathering spot as the sun sets, and the spacious backyard gives room for kids to play and dogs to roam. A private entrance and free on‑site parking add convenience.
Family‑ and pet‑friendly stays
Children’s books, toys, and dinnerware are provided, and the yard offers space for family activities. Dogs are welcome, making it easy to bring your four‑legged companion, while cats are not allowed due to allergies.
Practical comforts
A washer and dryer, bathroom essentials, and a bathtub make longer stays effortless. Self check‑in with a lockbox ensures flexible arrivals, and the cleaning team sweeps the deck and walkways before each guest, though natural leaves and pollen may appear seasonally.
Neighborhood & nearby attractions
A short walk brings you to the Shenandoah River, where scenic views change with each season. Downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns are about a ten‑minute drive, offering restaurants, breweries, shops, and festivals. Shenandoah National Park and surrounding mountain trails are close by, providing a perfect base for outdoor adventures.
Ellery Cottage is ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends seeking a relaxed mountain retreat with easy access to nature and town, no matter the season.
