The Inn of the Shenandoah is an elegantly remodeled Victorian home located in the heart of Luray. In typical European flair, antique glass windows elegantly adorn two mirroring dining and sitting rooms outfitted with beautiful crystal chandeliers. The Inn features three suites outfitted with jacuzzi tubs for two, with outdoor balconies, crystal chandeliers and king or queen beds. The Inn has a large back yard with gardens and is regularly used for special events and weddings. Guests may also choose to stay in the Cottage, directly behind the Inn, which houses two oversized suites with kitchenettes, Jacuzzi bathtubs, and private decks.

Conveniently located on the main thoroughfare of Luray, this lovely, charming, clean bed and breakfast provided all the best bells & whistles and more. A shining example of southern hospitality with little touches like take-away anytime snacks and coffee, fresh flowers for your room, bath salts for the large sunken tub, an in-room refrigerator, and one of the most friendly, accommodating, welcoming innkeepers we've ever encountered. Breakfast was always delicious with multiple offerings. If we ever needed a recommendation or a to-do idea, Innkeeper Art was a font of information. We so appreciated our relaxing and restorative stay here. This place is so much better than staying at a DIY Airbnb!

We loved our stay at the Inn of Shenandoah. Art is an amazing host, very easy to communicate, knows everything about the area, and is always available for any questions. You will be treated to delicious, fresh pastries, fruit, and juices for breakfast. Rooms are very comfortable with everything you would need including a mini fridge. The inn is a beautiful Victorian house with lots of space to hang out and very close (2-5 minutes of walking) to food and drink options in the town. It's also a great base for hiking, close to Shenandoah NP, Old Rag Mountain, and George Washington State Forest. We're already planning on going back in Fall and would definitely recommend it to anyone who would love to explore the area and hike the nearby mountains.

The Inn of the Shenandoah provides a very pleasant, quiet place to relax. Innkeeper Art was very attentive to our preferences for breakfast, providing lots of healthy choices. Location is perfect for walking to restaurants, shops, and churches. Outside entrances to suites provide easy access. Roses and chocolates were waiting for us by my request for our anniversary.

Very charming and incredibly accommodating! Art was a wealth of knowledge about the area and helped fill my itinerary! I was also fortunate enough to meet Matthew and was blow away by his hospitality!

We had a quick weekend stay that was truly an enjoyable time. The architecture of this Victorian home is amazing from the inside to outside; the attention to detail will not go unnoticed. The home is very clean and well maintained, having 3 spacious and beautifully decorated bedrooms. The Innkeeper Art was welcoming, knowledgeable and extremely accommodating. He had plenty of recommendations of places in Luray in which to dine or relax outside enjoying a beverage while listening to live music. For eats, we had lunch at Gathering Grounds Patisserie & Cafe, takeout dinner on the front porch of the Inn from Il Vesuvio Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria and finished our weekend sitting outside for brunch at Mimslyn Inn. For drinks, we tried Hawksbill Brewing Company and West Main Market Beer & Wine Garden which also has live music! On Art’s recommendation, we beat the crowds with an early visit to Luray Caverns for a jaw dropping spectacle...the place is truly inspiring. We plan to be back soon, and participate in a more active adventure, while taking advantage of Art’s recommendations for hikes along Skyline Drive and kayaking down the South Fork Shenandoah River.…

Spent 2 nights here over Memorial weekend. As soon as we arrived Janina warmly welcomed us and showed us to our room. We stayed in the Turret suite, which had a king size bed, jacuzzi, and a separate reading/tv alcove. The jacuzzi was an enjoyable detail after a long day of hiking. There are bath salts provided as well. Janina cooked us breakfast each morning and we enjoyed the hearty breakfast before our hikes. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay near Shenandoah.

We made a last minute decision to visit the Luray area for a weekend, and we are so glad we found the Inn of the Shenandoah. Upon arrival we were greeted by Janina (the owner) and Larry (the sweet doodle). Janina was very welcoming and attentive during our stay and had lots of great recommendations for things to see and places to eat. The Inn is beautiful and we loved the room. Feels like they have thought of everything to make sure their guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay. Breakfast was also wonderful with a wide assortment. We highly recommend anyone visiting Luray, VA to stay at The Inn of the Shenandoah.

The owners are very attentive to guests and every bit of the stay was welcoming and accommodating. From the greeting when you arrive, the little touches in your guest room, and delectable assortments for breakfast, the experience was everything we could have hoped for in a weekend getaway.

This was a convenient location for visiting Luray Caverns and Skyline Drive. The B&B is charming, clean, thoughtfully set up with everything you might need, and the Hostess is lovely! We had a great time and would happily stay here again.

Lovely property close to the centre of Luray with delightful hosts Matt and Yanina, and friendly dog Larry. Comfortable queen bed and excellent breakfasts, with freshly baked quiche from the bakery right across the road! Nice touches in our room like providing Alexa ("What's the weather going to be like in Luray tomorrow?") and a place to wirelessly charge your phone. We had a great stay.
