The Space:
A quiet mountain morning greets you as steam rises from the hot tub and the Shenandoah Valley stretches beyond the trees. The cool air carries birdsong, and the stillness invites you to slow down, warm up, and feel tucked away while still close to town. After a day of exploring Luray, you can unwind under the stars or curl up indoors with a good movie. Ellery Cottage offers a single‑level, newly‑renovated retreat where comfort meets easy access to nature and downtown.
Sleeping arrangements
The cottage comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. One bedroom holds a queen bed, and the other two bedrooms each feature a queen/twin bunk bed. A pull‑out sofa in the living room provides additional sleeping space. Bed linens, extra pillows, and blankets are supplied for crisp mountain nights.
Living space
Open, single‑level living eliminates stairs and makes settling in effortless. Natural light fills the main area, where comfortable seating surrounds a TV for relaxed evenings. Wi‑Fi is available, though service can be slower or spotty due to the remote location. Central heating and air conditioning keep the interior comfortable year‑round.
Kitchen & dining
The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for home‑cooked meals, from hearty breakfasts to cozy dinners. A dining table invites you to share meals together without leaving the property.
Outdoor living
The backyard and deck offer space to spread out, while the fire pit creates a warm gathering spot as the sun sets. The outdoor hot tub is a year‑round favorite, perfect for soaking under the open sky after a chilly day. A grill is available for those who enjoy cooking outdoors when the weather allows.
Family & pet‑friendly stays
Ellery Cottage welcomes families and dogs, providing children’s books, toys, and dinnerware. Cats are not allowed. The spacious yard gives kids and pets room to play safely.
Practical comforts
A washer and dryer, bathroom essentials, and a bathtub make longer stays easy. Free on‑site parking, a private entrance, and self‑check‑in with a lockbox add flexibility to your arrival.
Neighborhood & nearby attractions
A short walk brings you to the Shenandoah River, offering scenic views in every season. Downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns are about a ten‑minute drive, with restaurants, breweries, shops, and seasonal festivals nearby. Shenandoah National Park and surrounding mountain scenery are close, making the cottage an ideal base for exploring the area.
