A real treat in Shenandoah Valley

This hotel stay was one of the best. The place itself is very well upkept and clean. The honeymoon suite had its own screened in porch with a nice field view. We loved this place and hope to go back again soon.

If you need relatively inexpensive pet friendly motel convenient to Luray this is it. We brought our 80lb golden retriever. Big open grassy area right in front of the motel perfect to walk your dog. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Beds were fine.

I thought this dog friendly motel was as cute as a button. I enjoyed my stay there my grandson and myself the room was cozy and home like nice pressure plenty of hot water on the shower a little dated which adds to the charm. I only wish they had Apple Pay. Thank you to the gentleman at the front desk. I believe his name is VJ He was very kind and Patient. Property was well maintained as I walk my dog for the bathroom breaks. I really enjoyed my stay there.

About what you would expect from one of these older motels. Our room was clean, the shower was strong and hot, and the location was close enough to Skyline Drive. Good for a night or two.
