Perfect little getaway

This was a great cabin just a short drive from Luray. We were looking for somewhere to get away with our older teens, and this cabin hit the spot with its hot tub, pool table and air hockey. The horseshoe pit was also enjoyed. Each person having their own room was a big plus as well, as they usually end up sharing a room when we go away. Having two full bathrooms was great and access to the washer dryer was appreciated (especially the dryer so we could dry swimwear). We really loved the beautiful view of the river from the deck and took advantage of the grill. Having access to walk along the river was awesome. The biggest thing I appreciated was that the price included 4 people before charging for extra!! A lot of the cabins I looked at charged extra past two people. Great cabin, great location. Highly recommend.

Hornets

We arrived to the location on friday night, everything was great, grilled some steaks (grille was a bit dirty, we used a skillet we brought on the grille). Overall, not a bad first night. Saturday morning, we were hanging out when we noticed about 5 hornets on the windows (interior) of the cabin. We called, a person came out and disposed of those hornets, but due to uncertainty if there could be more, we decided to leave. We had an individual with us that is allergic, and we didn't want to risk anything. Requested a refund for the 2 nights we wouldn't be staying due to the concern regarding the hornets, and we were told that it would not be refunded due to it not being the cabin's fault that the hornets were in the house. I feel that's an issue, but I'm also just glad we left without our friend potentially getting stung/suffering an allergic reaction. We thought it was a nice cabin, good area, but definitely disappointed with the dirty grille, the lukewarm hot tub, and the hornets. Lastly, there was a plethora of cigarette butts all around the property. That could have been from people that had previously stayed.

Great Getaway

We rented this place for Christmas. We arrived to a charminly deorated Christmas house. It was great to walk in to a perfectly cleaned cabin that was aglow with a christmas tree lights and softly lit lamps. We did have a couple of hickups, the hot tub was broke. We called the property manage who sent someone over immediatly. When they determined they couldn't fix it, they gave us access to the cabin next door and that cabin's hot tub. Worked out great. The fireplaces were a bit tricky as well. Once again, a simple call and all turned out well. When we ran out of fire wood, again a simple call and we had wood delivered. Check out and in was super easy. PM was very supportive. We had a great family time

Splendid cabin!

The cabin was very nice and clean, everything was very comfortable and homey feeling. The binder was very helpful to answer any questions we had, although we had a bit of trouble with the hot tub. The area of luray was wonderful and appreciated all the recommended things to do!!

This was a perfect family mini vacation.

We brought the family for a long weekend and it was perfect. Not far from any of the must see attractions, this lovely cabin has all the comforts needed after enjoying the surroundings. The hot tub was wonderful and the fire pit was perfect for family time to finish the evening. Thank you!

Heaven on Earth

The hot tub was broken, deck was unsafe, gas grill needs to replaced. The furniture and mattresses were worn out. Access to the river is shared with other community members which is not mentioned in the description. WE paid for seven nights and stayed one.

Great for families.

Very clean. Very organized and well thought out communication about the property. Kids appreciated the games/activities. The dog loved that he could join us. Less private than we expected, but was not a problem for us.

Comfortable and clean lodgings

This was a great place to meet up with two other people. There is a bedroom on each floor and a bathroom on two of the floors. The game room is packed, and there is a library of books and DVDs. We enjoyed ourselves and were very comfortable hanging out in the living room, and on the deck.

Lovely cottage

The place is lovely, with a big yard for the kids to run/play. The kitchen had everything we needed for a 4days stay. There was some nice personal touch throughout the house. Easy check-in process, easy to find. It was 15min drive to town/Luray Caverns so you get the peace/quiet at night. The firepit was great as well! The only unfortunate thing is that we got charge for 2 children under 2yo that slept in their park n play (not even using bed linens) AND for a 2 months as that was, with parents, above 4 people. It does seem ridiculous to us to be charged extra per day, especially for the infant (didnt even use a towel!). That was 3 extra charge for our little ones, while the cottage had plenny of space. We didnt use the 3rd bedroom as it was in tbe basement and the stair were too scary for our little ones.

Weekend getaway

Friends gathered for a weekend retreat to unplug. Heaven on Earth presents much better live than in pictures. Excellent use of space and the three bedrooms all spacious and comfortable. Books/games were a plus. DVD library pretty good 👍. All of us had fairly decent cell signal At&t Verizon Tmobile Dog friendly and the dog enjoyed the grounds as well. Hot tub was clean and comfortable. Very easy stay, location was great with good amount of privacy. Will definitely place on my favorites list. Hope to have the opportunity to Stay here again!

Great for a small family

Cabin was nice! Only thing that was a little misleading is that it’s not as secluded as it looks from pictures. There are neighbors on all sides… and the river isn’t technically in the backyard although it is a very short walk!

Awesome

My family's stay at the cabin was very enjoyable. Beautiful big rooms, clean and stocked with everything we needed. Outside on the deck was a hot tub so realaxing. We cooked on the grill and sat under the umbrella at the table. We had a fire in the fire pit every night and management supplied us with lots of wood. You can walk to the river with your morning coffee and a fishing pole. The mountains took my breath away. It's truly God's country and the cabin is a little Heaven on Earth.

Great time at Heaven on Earth

Had a great time at Heaven on Earth end of September. Got together for the week with 3 friends (brothers) that I grew up with back in NY. We've gone tent camping almost every year for the past 50 years. We're all getting older and decided to "move on up" to a rustic cabin. The cabin was very clean and had many great amenities. There were 4 of us and the sleeping accommodations worked out well. Used the pool table and horseshoes and even played some bocci ball with a set we brought along. It was really nice having the gas grill for cooking too. The fire pit was great for hanging out as it did start to get a bit cooler later in the evening. The cabin was in a good location as well, as downtown Luray is not far away, and we also got to go fishing at a nearby pond. All in all it was a great trip and everyone had a good time. Highly recommend Heaven on Earth.
