Dec 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home for large groups The house has an unusual layout but it worked very well for our family holiday gathering. We had 14 adults, including 4 couples, plus a 3 year old and an infant. There are 5 good sized bedrooms down a long hall, opposite a large living room we used for games. Three more bedrooms are in a different wing with the kitchen, dining area and another living room. It offers privacy but is very close to Luray Caverns. The 3 year old was especially taken with watching the animals on the farm behind the house. This may not be the best choice for guests wanting a modern, upscale home, but we were quite content there. It even had a Christmas tree and large Santa figure by the fireplace. ##### Christy J.

It is advertised as a commercial kitchen but has no dishwasher. They provide towels but no washcloths. The outside needed help, lots of weeds in the flower beds, it was over grown and lawn needed mowed. But all that aside it was perfect for our family to gather from PA, OH and KY. Plenty of beds and compfy house. The house was VERY clean and we appreciated that. If we ever get to the area again I would not hesitate to stay here! A quiet place to stay. ##### Sarah T.

Jul 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good place for family reunion Only one working fridge. But otherwise this was a great spot for our reunion. The outside yard was not conducive to unsupervised play due to debris and electric fence ##### Stephen F. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Linda Z. Jul 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family reunion in Luray The Alcove is ideally located 5 min from downtown Luray, from Luray Caverns and close to some good restaurants. Beds were comfy and the living room had more than enough seating for the family as did the screened in porch though if you use all 8 bedrooms, you will need a few more seats on the porch. Wi Fi worked great as did the large TV. Don't let the industrial kitchen scare you away as everything was provided though a toaster would be a good addition.. There is no dishwasher. Do bring your own shampoo and body wash. This is not a modern, "up to date" property. It could best be described as unconventional, but again comfortable and provided us with all we needed. ##### Linda Z. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael H.

The property had some fun/interesting decoration which may or may not be desired by all, but we loved it! A great and convenient place for large groups to stay. ##### Michael H.

Unique floor plan worked great for us. Comfortable beds. Super clean. We read all the reviews and comments thoroughly so we knew what to expect. DSL is DSL. However we tied into two zoom meetings without issue. My Sister-in-law ate a pear off the tree outside and declared it the best ever. Never ran out of hot water. Parking was abundant. Location is great. So close to everything. It’s an older place and has its quirks but that made it fun! ##### Darlene K.
