Family-friendly vacation rentals in Basye

Everything was great and we had a wonderful time!

Great spot for our family of six. Plenty of space for the kids and dogs to roam. After hiking the hot tub was a big hit. Easy access to SNP and caverns. River access lot was great for fishing but there was an experience with a neighbor. Be mindful of the white posts that are near the sign on the river lot for fox creek lodge. The posts don’t go all the way to the water but those posts denote separate property although there is no sign saying so. When my son was fishing three feet inside that on the rocks in the water, the very vocal neighbor came down to the road and threatened to call the cops on us and yelled pretty aggressively as he continued to walk towards us. It seemed like a strange escalation on his part when we immediately got my son on the other side of the post as soon as he yelled that it was private property. Just a note of caution, as we didn’t go down to the river after that because the guy left us feeling a little unsettled. No fault on this Airbnb at all.

Sharon’s place was perfect for a quick weekend getaway for ourselves and two college aged kids. It is spacious with a very well equipped kitchen. The Dutch Tub is a lot of work but worth every minute of it for night time star gazing. We will definitely be returning!

We have used the same cabin for years and totally enjoy our stay every time. Two things I wanted to mention. The morning of our last day I noticed some water on the floor around the toilet. We wiped it up and didn’t notice any more before we left a short time later. The other thing is I grabbed a knife one morning to make sandwiches with. We needed to buy some jelly on the way to go fishing and make sandwiches when we got there. I accidentally left the knife in the plastic bag that ended coming home with me. If you could give me an address I’ll mail it back to you. We plan on coming back next year. I’ll be in touch. Thank you. Larry

The chalet was a perfect home base for our stay in the valley over a birthday weekend. Derek gave us clear instructions ahead of time, we had no trouble getting in. We were able to just crash and watch TV the first night in front of the electric fireplace. Second night we hit the hot tub which we needed after a long hike. We found good restaurants in Front Royal and Luray (Osteria Maria, Chop House Bistro) and for coffee in the morning Broad Porch. Check out was also easy, we just needed to strip the beds and take out the trash. And of course we loved being able to bring our doggo. My fiancee had previously been hosted by Derek and we would definitely stay here again.

Very beautiful and secluded area. They were extremely responsive when I had questions! The steep driveway is no exaggeration so if you have a low car definitely keep that in mind. We had no problem with it though since we had a big truck. Thank you again!

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!

Connie's Rock Cottage was amazing! much thought was put into this cottage. Firewood and fire starter for the wood stove on chilly nights, robes we used for getting to and from the private hot tub just steps outside the back door,map of entire 550 acres of land including the wonderful paved walkway which meanders through the property. This was the mosr exceptionally prepared kitchen we have seen in out travels. Tons of utensils, a full set of potsand pans, dish towels, trivets, cutting boards and cooking sheets! We love to cook together when we travel and this kitchen was big enough for 2! We got some amazing pictures all over the farm. The lack of light pollution allowed us to enjoy the stars and Pink Full Moon in all their glory! We will be back to enjoy this cottage again!

We had a great time! Even though we arrived well past sunset, it was still easy to find. The cabin grounds were beautiful, and all the amenities worked as advertised. It's a cabin in the woods, so expect nature to intrude accordingly, but if you're not afraid of a bug or two, this is the forest cabin for you!

Our family had the best time here! Loved the yurt! There is a creek across the street that the children played in, we fished in the pond, played baseball in the meadow, had a campfire under the stars. The beds were super comfortable, we enjoyed the privacy and the beauty of the area. We hope to go back and stay longer next time! Well appointed kitchen, super clean home, responsive host, beautiful views through the many windows, private stay yet close to activities. It’s a gem, for sure!

My family of 4 plus our 2 fur babies had the best time at Julie’s home. The house is beautiful and unique with all the original remnants of wood and brick. It’s clean and very well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped with all the necessities. The pictures don’t do this house justice, honestly. The property is very private. We hardly saw any neighbors. We enjoyed everything the house had to offer, hot tub, couches outside, bathrobes, etc. we appreciated the tea, chocolate, wine and flowers left for us, too. Such a pleasant surprise, really! There are plenty of things to do around in the area. We had a great time. Thank you, Julie, for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home with our entire family.

What a hidden gem! Charming and secluded farm house with wineries, historical sites, and Old Rag Mountain only a short drive away. John was a wonderful host with great communication. Would highly recommend!

Excellent value in Washington, VA. Clean, nice, and close to the Inn. Highly recommend.

Erika’s place was amazing and just the place I needed for a long weekend hiking in Shenandoah. The space is beautifully decorated, and had tons of books and crossword puzzles to do. I will definitely be back!

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!!!

This is a super unique and private getaway. Beautiful nature all around, and very private accommodations. The owner even had some food and coffee stocked and left a note saying to help ourselves. I would note (and this is in the listing), the yurt has not central AC, so I don't know if I would want to stay here in peak Virginia summer.

The cabin was perfect for staying with our two kids. The playrooms and well stocked kitchen and rooms made it easy to keep them entertained and relax in the mountains. Thank you for your hospitality!

Nice and cozy finished studio apartment above a garage. Nice amenities, clean place and quiet location. Stayed one night this time; stayed several nights a year ago. Would recommend this place for anyone needing a short stay in thr area.

Fantastic stay overall. The host was very responsive, friendly and accommodating. We made an oversight during our booking in that we didn't notify in advance that we were bringing a pet, but once we explained the issue and discussed it with the host, she was very accommodating and allowed us to pay the pet deposit and stay. She has two small puppers who tagged along with us on several walks around the property (highly recommend walking up Bruce's Mountain for a spectacular view!). Would happily return for another stay in the future.

Comfortable beds, super clean hot tub and such a nice place to spend spring break. Excellent communication and very pleasant hosts. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future trips.

Our family of four spent two nights at Callie's Cottage. We had a great time enjoying the trails, fishing the pond, and watching the horses. Our kids had a lot of fun playing in the treehouse. The house was cozy, clean and well appointed.

We had a wonderful time and plenty of space for everyone. We felt at home and it had everything we needed! Thank you Tearyn and Michael!

Great place and responsive host.

We had such a peaceful stay! The surroundings are beautiful and the guest house (and especially the bed) is super comfortable! The farm is amazing and Whittington and his family are gracious hosts—they even shared a nice fire with us outside one night!
