Historical home, walkable to many restaurants and shops. | House in Luray
2 Bedroom House in Luray
A great mix of cottage/farmhouse/boho-chic style is what you will find in The House in Luray. It's a quaint laid back light filled get away space with a mix of colors, patterns and textures. I am a designer and really enjoy bringing out the best properties have to offer. This was a challenging project to do with many moments of "let’s see where this takes us" in deciding exactly how to custom design this early 1900's simple home. So it’s built in 1913. As is common in homes of this era there was only one bathroom and it is located on the first floor with the 2 bedrooms being on the 2nd level. So please be aware of that when you are booking. Other things to note is the house is located across the street from the Historical Green Hill cemetery which dates back to 1877. And on the other sides are a few tombstones dating back even before 1877. The kitchen does not have a dishwasher but is equipped for meal prep and multi night stays.
Overall the best thing about The House in Luray is the walkable location to many restaurants, shops, the movie theatre and Hawksbill brewery as well as the nice walking trail thru town The Hawksbill Greenway. So need to move your car to enjoy all Luray has to offer.
When you arrive park in the graveled parking area beside the house and enter from the side porch where a keypad is located on the yellow door for your convenience. You will find a very open floor plan on the first floor with a kitchen, dining and living area. Mosaic tiled backsplash, butcher countertops, wood floors, neutral colors with a bit of pop here and there and wood ceilings are many of the highlights.
We provide some basic dishes and cooking items however you will need to bring groceries, condiments etc.. if you are planning on utilizing the kitchen. We do provide a keurig and a small supply of pods and condiments for coffee, There is a toaster, mixer and microwave available for guests use. There are ice cube trays in the freezer.
The dining room seats 4 and the adjoining living room has ample seating comfortably for 4. The tv is internet only no cable or direct tv -you are welcome to use any apps you may have.
Around the corner In the hallway is a dresser which holds guests towels and you will find a hair dryer and basic toiletries in the nearby bathroom.
Upstairs is a small bedroom with full sized bed. In the closet you will find 2 luggage racks. check out the barn door on this bedroom. It was found in the barn on our country farm. You will also see a long ago repair patch in the hardwood floor made out of an old coffee can. Just too unique to remove.
Adjacent to that bedroom is a good sized bedroom with queen mattress. Also 2 luggage racks in the closet for your convenience. A desk/dresser and a chair. We provide a standup fan in the bedroom as well.
Take a break out on the side porch with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Its covered, so even on rainy days there's a dry space. Since the studio vacation rental next door is 2 feet from the house we have added layers of privacy without taking away from the openness of the porch. Aerial photos of the property provided in our photo book show the location of the studio to the house.
Parking is in the gravel parking area next to the house. There is room for 2 automobiles and there is also parking on the street on DeFord Ave. These areas are shared with the studio. ( trash pick up day is Wednesday morning early between 6-7 so if trash cans are out on the street please do not park near them)
Besides the charm of The House in Luray is its convenient location to many attractions in downtown Luray. The Hawksbill Brewery is just a 3 minute walk and around the other corner 5 minutes away is Baby Moons Bakery and Moon Shadows Restaurant.
Downtown shops and the Luray Greenway walking trail is also just a short walk away. You are less than 10 minutes away from Shoppers Value Foods and the Luray Shopping Center.
Most importantly it is a great neighborhood where you can walk around and see many houses with styles from the early 1900's to the 1960's from Victorians, to craftsman, and cottages, old lumber businesses and warehouses. The Art Gallery and the Luray Visitor center, which was once a train station for the Norfolk and Western Railroad and now has a museum in honor of the railroad is also within walking distance. The railroad still travels thru the town multiple times a day. The historic Greenhill Cemetery is right across the street from the house and of the 2500 graves in the cemetery, 500 are thought to be unmarked, identified only by depressions. The cemetery turns 140 years old this year. Google the cemetery and you will find some interesting stories.
The town of Luray still has a volunteer fire department and they still alert the community and their members by sounding of the alarm. It is a loud siren. I have added a white noise machine in the bedroom as many B and B’s in town as well as other short term rentals have complained but they refuse to discontinue that practice.
As I mentioned the train runs thru town a couple of times during the day as well as a night. It can also be heard from the property and anywhere in the town of Luray.
Luray Caverns and all the amenities they offer are 1.6 miles away and the entrance to Shenandoah National Park at Thornton Gap Entrance (211 east) is 35 minutes away.
The Shenandoah River which travels through the county is also nearby. Beautiful Lake Arrowhead is 15 minutes away and offers views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Amenities include, swimming, hiking, picnic areas, fishing and kayak and canoe rentals. You can check out their website on townofluray.com
We would love to have you experience our home and hope you find it to be just the place you need to be while visiting the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
