Cabins in Luray, Virginia: Your Base for Shenandoah National Park

Luray is the closest gateway town to the central district of Shenandoah National Park — about a 90-minute drive from Washington, DC and roughly 20 minutes from the Thornton Gap entrance to Skyline Drive. The cabins below put you minutes from the trailheads, Luray Caverns, and the Shenandoah River.

It makes an easy long-weekend base: hike Old Rag or Hawksbill, drive a stretch of Skyline Drive at golden hour, tour the caverns if the weather turns, or float the river in summer. Several of these cabins are pet-friendly, and renting one gives you a full kitchen and room to spread out that a hotel room can't.
