Family-friendly vacation rentals in Western Maryland

this cabin was a gem! Just what I was looking for. My fiancee father lives in Luray and we wanted to surprise him and come down for father's day, but I also wanted a romantic, remote getaway for us. this was perfect! we surprised his dad, were able to spend time with him in Luray, but still had a beautiful cabin to retreat to, with a hot tub! And our dog was very welcomed. I loved the little added touches!

We stayed here for our 26th anniversary and it was perfect! It is an amazing cabin with incredible views. I highly recommend this cabin. The one piece of advice is because cell service is spotty don't trust your gps. Follow the instructions and look for the name of the cabin on the sign.

Great cozy and comfy cabin along the river! Beautiful scenery, very clean, comfy beds, great hot tub!! Owners were very responsive. We absolutely loved our weekend getaway here and plan to come back again! Thank you!!

We love staying here. This was our third time. It’s a great area to explore and the house is super comfy. Lounging on the deck is the best part.

If you want seclusion, this is the place for you. Very quiet, seen deer in the back yard two days in a row. The master bed is extremely comfortable. Does have stone driveway, and if you want any groceries stop on the way. Wifi worked great. Overall great place to stay!

Where to begin? This place is simply perfect. It’s you’re your own slice of outdoor heaven. The “cabin” is actually an AMAZING house with rustic siding & woodsy energy. Awesome kitchen, fantastic living room, great bedrooms & the bathroom is more than adequate. Outside is what truly frosts the cake though. Bonfire pit built into a patio with plenty of wood to burn provided. The creek the cabin is on was where we spent our days when we weren’t out hiking or visiting water falls & state parks. You couldn’t design a better set up, clear cool flowing water—perfect depth to put your lawn chairs in, sit in the middle of & relax in the sun! At night we soaked in the hot tub on the deck…also amazing. On an evening walk we were even invited on a tour of another amazing property up the road by Doug, a very kind gentlemen who was out working in his yard. Lastly, we arrived ahead of schedule (miracle) & after messaging our hosts they graciously allowed us to check in early. PERFECT experience! ❤️?

The only part of the stay that didn't get 5 stars was that it wasn't quite as secluded as I'd hoped for. There are a number of homes on the road to the cabin, and a thin line of trees breaks the view. Admittedly unless you're looking for the other houses you don't notice them, so I got past that quickly enough. That said, the cabin was perfect, clean, cozy and everything worked as stated. Having grown up in the country, but living in a city now, I felt the stress melt away as soon as I stepped into the massive yard where my son and I spent a lot of time playing soccer and other sports. My son and wife really enjoyed the hot tub. The location is 15 minutes away from Luray which meant that the stars were amazing for the brief break in the clouds we got, but that it was close enough to get groceries and take out as needed. Plus it's about 20 minutes away from Front Royal so there are places to go and enjoy like Skyline or Luray Caverns. Jackie was a great and responsive host!

This cabin and location were as peaceful and relaxing as they come! It’s close to Shenandoah National Park if you’re looking for some hikes or other outdoor activities, but it’s a perfect place to just hang out in nature and relax. We did not want to leave and can’t wait to go back!

I stayed here with 4 friends who came to the area to visit. We had a great time hiking at Shenandoah and going to the caverns close by. David and Becky’s place was perfect and had everything we needed.

Had a great time at the cabin! Welcoming host and had everything we needed.

This place was perfect for what I needed. It was cozy, clean and in close proximity to restaurants, downtown, and close access to main roads in and out of town. I brought my dog and her fenced in yard was so convenient. I had the pleasure of meeting the Dianne and you could not finder a nicer host. 10/10 recommend!

We had a great retreat at John’s place. The farm was just the spot for a quiet weekend outside the city. John was a great host, thoughtful and responsive.

Clean, well-stocked, spacious, and comfy! Town was a five minute walk with some great local shops and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!

The house was so uniquely quaint! It was truly a time to unwind from the craziness of this world! No TV other than in the upstairs bedroom and no Wi-Fi, which made it so nice to “unplug”! The sauna was absolutely amazing! The two options of fire pits to relax and have s’mores! The fireplace in the main living room was such an added bonus, to take the chill off in the morning and to just have a nice fire in the evening before bed. The fact that they had food there for us for breakfast was truly amazing! A bottle of wine to share, which was great considering we were there for our anniversary. You can get to so many places within 20 to 40 minutes! We went into Harpers Ferry for dinner at the Rabbit Hole! Harpers Ferry is a must to visit if you are in the area! Tons of trails, white water rafting and things to see and do are all just a short drive away. If you want a place to truly unwind, this is it! 🥰

Our trip was absolutely flawless. Maureen is a gracious host who has an amazing place in a perfect location outfitted with everything you could want or need for getting off the grid for a while. We can’t wait to go back! 100% recommend!!!

Very peaceful surroundings, enjoyed sitting on the front porch during the rain

This was our second stay at Janel's place and it was just as enjoyable as the first time. We loved the fireplace and views from the A frame windows. The hot tub wasn't working unfortunately, but things happen and Janel was communicative about it. Had a great weekend regardless. Also love that Janel is accommodating of dogs. Our fur babies were happy to join us on our getaway.

Elizabeth’s condo was excellent - cleanly, organized & in a wonderful location. Would definitely recommend.

Loved staying at Lazy Bear Lodge. Beautiful home with privacy on big property. Hosts were super responsive and gave great local recommendations. Very accessible to hiking and white water rafting.

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Close enough to all the hikes we wanted to do. Pet friendly (huge for us) and beautiful views! Please make sure you read the whole listing, as you definitely need a vehicle with 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. We brought our own towels, sheets, and so on as stated and everything else we needed was available. Would recommend bringing dish towels. We had forgotten them this trip. Cooking pots and pans are little outdated but they’re just fine! We had a wonderful taco night anniversary dinner at the cabin and throughly enjoyed a nice soak in the hot tub. There’s a very nice above ground pool also but it was too cold this time of year to swim in. I would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful family reunion here with 3 generations. Each family had their own private space but there was tons to do on the property together as well. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and made sure we were comfortable and happy! We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked, too.

My husband and I stayed here right after we hot married and it was the most lovely experience! It was an absolute blast, I wouldn’t have changed a thing except I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Maud was so sweet and I loved having her as a host. Cannot recommend enough!

The home was big and beautiful. It was much more than I was expecting and the access to the KOA was a plus. My family and I can’t wait for an opportunity to return.

The lovely “cottage” on Deb‘s property was gorgeous, serene & just what the dr ordered for this exhausted DC mom! Deb couldn’t have been more welcoming; provided an amazing spread of fresh fruits, cookies, a lemon cake, wine, bagels w/cream cheese & OJ in the fridge. Super appreciated as we didn’t arrive until 9:30PM the 1st night. The 1st few days, my teen son & I enjoyed the tranquility of the property, including the refreshing pool & plenty of fun activities nearby. Then, my husband (who had to work), picked up our son so I cld decompress & have a couple much-needed days to hang out w/girlfriends who joined me @ the cottage. Although our last full day was a tad rainy, it didn’t deter us from having a delish brunch in town, checking out the arts festival by the canal & stepping into some cool stores on the main st of vibrant Frederick. Deb‘s accommodations were uber-plush; by far the most luxurious AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you so much for the cathartic reset, Deb! 😮‍💨
