If you’re ready to hike, unwind, and fall in love with Shenandoah’s natural charm, let me help you find the perfect home base for your trip.

Places I’ve Stayed (or Would Absolutely Recommend)

  • Rustic charm and mountain views at Skyland Resort – I’ve stayed here more than once, and waking up to those ridge-top sunrises never gets old.
  • Historic elegance at The Mimslyn Inn in Luray – I love the classic feel here. You’re close to the caverns and the park, but it feels like a peaceful retreat all on its own.
  • Cabin-style comfort at Big Meadows Lodge – I’ve curled up here after long hikes—it’s cozy, casual, and right in the heart of the action on Skyline Drive.
  • Charming B&B vibes at The Inn at Little Washington – This one’s a splurge, but if you’re celebrating something special, you’ll be spoiled with luxury and a truly unforgettable dining experience.
  • Family-friendly comfort at Hillside Motel in Luray – A great option if you’re traveling with kids or just want something simple, clean, and close to everything.
