My husband and I have stayed here for all three of our Shenandoah trips. This house has definitely been a source of some really good memories. It’s one of our favorite places to escape to. Very thankful for the owners opening up their beautiful home for guests! ❤️

we spent three nights here with our german shepherd. the property is beautiful and the house has been lovingly restored. everything we needed was here. i love this house! we hope to come back with friends.

Well set up remodeled farmhouse with a small guesthouse. Neighboring cows are close by. Rustic kitchen was well equipped. Cozy with comfortable furnishings. Outdoor spaces included a barbecue/fireplace, hammocks and lots of seating. Great for a family with room to run or play sports. We spent our days touring Shenandoah National Park, an easy drive with great hiking and photo ops.

The house is nicely updated and modernized; pictures shown are accurate. Ryan and Jay thought of literally everything - binoculars, birding books, flashlights, Q-tips, makeup remover wipes, sensitive skin detergent (which I appreciated being allergic to Tide and the like), first aid kits, OFF, books, books, books, games, and the list is endless! Check-in was easy - they meet you at the house for a tour and instructions. The WiFi works great. There is no cell service, but there is a VOIP landline, if needed. This house is minutes from Luray proper, Shenandoah Park, Lake Arrowhead, and other attractions. This was one of the best (if not THE best) stay I have ever had anywhere! Do not hesitate to book the Modern Farmhouse!

Jay and Ryanne have remodeled an 1850s era farm house with all the modern conveniences that still retains its old-world charm. The pictures really don't do the property justice. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to do our own cooking (we brought all the ingredients for our meals). The master bedroom was huge with a big comfy bed and a TV with access to Apple TV and Netflix. I wish we'd had more than 5 days there because the house was also stocked with a bunch of books I'd like to read or re-read. The yard was huge and our dog Justin loved just lounging on the grass or playing fetch. You're only 5 miles from downtown Luray and plenty of restaurants and shops or 8 miles from the Shenandoah Valley National Park Thornton Gap entrance. We went every day and did some great hikes. Many thanks again to Jay and Ryanne for providing us with a wonderful place to spend 5 very tranquil days. We'll be back for sure!

This was perfect! Everything was in great condition and Jay really thought of everything you could possibly need for a weekend away! We really appreciated all the small touches like corn hole, tennis balls for the dogs, firewood and sticks next to the fire pit and so much more. I will definitely be coming back in the spring. Even though its winter I can tell they have a beautiful garden.

My daughter was married in Luray at the wonderful Khimaira Farm. Families rented cabins in the area and our family stayed in this amazing 1850s farmhouse. By far, it was the best of the bunch and it far exceeded our expectations. The owners have provided everything you may need from condiments and spices (and s'more supplies) in the kitchen to books, games and outdoor toys for the kids. The bathrooms are fully supplied with toiletries and there is a wash machine. A nice touch is that there is a free landline as we were out of cell phone range. In addition there are TVs with Netflix and Apple TV and speakers to hook up your music. The combination of old and modern was done very well. The writer's cabin was homey and has a beautiful view out of a large window. Due to the nature of our visit, we were basically just there for sleeping so we were unable to use the outdoor fireplace, but we did enjoy the amazing flowers and landscaping. Our only regret is that we were unable to really enjoy all the amenities because of the wedding (which was wonderful, too!) Even my teenage son suggested we come back when we can have a more leisurely visit. It you can afford it, a stay at this farmhouse is well worth the money!

Staying at Ryanne and Jay's beautiful farmhouse was delightful! Our outdoor activities were somewhat curtailed by lots of snow, but the house is so comfortable and stylish, we didn't mind staying in. Every room is thoughtfully curated and blends the charm of an antique farmhouse with modern conveniences and mid-century decor. As a former antique dealer, I loved looking at all the little touches they have incorporated into this house. There are European tiles and old brass faucets....and a spectacular soapstone kitchen sink. The grounds looked amazing, even covered in snow....we can't wait to come back and see all the perennial gardens in bloom. Ryanne and Jay were friendly and helpful, giving us lots of information so that we could explore the area, even with our limited time. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone....and it would be great for a family gathering.

If you’re looking for a fun getaway just a short drive from Washington, DC (or Charlottesville) at the foot of the Shenandoah, we highly recommend renting this beautiful home. It’s not only close to the park entrance to go hiking in the Shenandoah, but it’s also minutes from Luray Caverns and Shenandoah River spots where you can go canoeing or kayaking. Imagine having a country getaway but with all the modern conveniences of home! We really enjoyed our stay at Jay and Ryanne’s beautifully restored farmhouse. We spent four nights relaxing, cooking, and watching movies during a snowstorm. The house has nice fast wi-fi throughout, and the master bedroom’s large flatscreen is equipped with Apple TV and a Netflix account. But if you like reading, there’s tons of fun fiction, non-fiction, magazines and children’s books to enjoy, too. You could curl up under a large window in the second bedroom, luxuriate in the super comfy master bedroom’s King bed or find plenty of nooks downstairs or on the porch. And the main bathroom is equipped with a lovely, deep tub -- perfect for soaking after a long hike. The house stayed warm and dry during the all day snowstorm, as did the small cottage which is set up as a separate suite with bed and TV and a full wall window with a great view of the nearby mountains. It’s evident that transforming this farmhouse was a labor of love. It’s very tastefully decorated, featuring recessed lighting, hardwood floors and many windows to let in natural light. We cooked delicious meals in their well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed them around the big wooden table while watching the snow fall. When the next day became warm and sunny, we soaked up the rays lounging in the Adirondack chairs that line the back porch and daydreamed about returning in the late spring or summer with a group of friends for a big picnic around the outdoor brick grill. (Or even to sleep under the stars when the weather is warmer.) J ay and Ryanne were responsive and gracious hosts, and pointed out the area’s attractions. They even arranged to have the drive plowed when it snowed. We can’t wait to return to this lovely Virginia farmhouse!
