Family-friendly holiday rentals in Western Maryland

this cabin was a gem! Just what I was looking for. My fiancee father lives in Luray and we wanted to surprise him and come down for father's day, but I also wanted a romantic, remote getaway for us. this was perfect! we surprised his dad, were able to spend time with him in Luray, but still had a beautiful cabin to retreat to, with a hot tub! And our dog was very welcomed. I loved the little added touches!

We stayed here for our 26th anniversary and it was perfect! It is an amazing cabin with incredible views. I highly recommend this cabin. The one piece of advice is because cell service is spotty don't trust your gps. Follow the instructions and look for the name of the cabin on the sign.

We love staying here. This was our third time. It’s a great area to explore and the house is super comfy. Lounging on the deck is the best part.

If you want seclusion, this is the place for you. Very quiet, seen deer in the back yard two days in a row. The master bed is extremely comfortable. Does have stone driveway, and if you want any groceries stop on the way. Wifi worked great. Overall great place to stay!

Excellent stay! Beautiful locale! Would stay again for sure!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Close enough to all the hikes we wanted to do. Pet friendly (huge for us) and beautiful views! Please make sure you read the whole listing, as you definitely need a vehicle with 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. We brought our own towels, sheets, and so on as stated and everything else we needed was available. Would recommend bringing dish towels. We had forgotten them this trip. Cooking pots and pans are little outdated but they’re just fine! We had a wonderful taco night anniversary dinner at the cabin and throughly enjoyed a nice soak in the hot tub. There’s a very nice above ground pool also but it was too cold this time of year to swim in. I would definitely stay again!

Where to begin? This place is simply perfect. It’s you’re your own slice of outdoor heaven. The “cabin” is actually an AMAZING house with rustic siding & woodsy energy. Awesome kitchen, fantastic living room, great bedrooms & the bathroom is more than adequate. Outside is what truly frosts the cake though. Bonfire pit built into a patio with plenty of wood to burn provided. The creek the cabin is on was where we spent our days when we weren’t out hiking or visiting water falls & state parks. You couldn’t design a better set up, clear cool flowing water—perfect depth to put your lawn chairs in, sit in the middle of & relax in the sun! At night we soaked in the hot tub on the deck…also amazing. On an evening walk we were even invited on a tour of another amazing property up the road by Doug, a very kind gentlemen who was out working in his yard. Lastly, we arrived ahead of schedule (miracle) & after messaging our hosts they graciously allowed us to check in early. PERFECT experience! ❤️?

This was our first time using Airbnb and it was a great experience. It was a little weird as I unlocked the door and walked in the first time. Soft lights and a screensaver on the tv, felt like I was walking into someone’s house. The views from the cabin were amazing - even in the rain and fog. Returning from town one day we discovered the power was out. Brian had sent a few messages keeping us informed. The wood stove kept us cozy. The hot tub was relaxing at sunset and at 6:30 in the morning. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The road was rough and got worse with 2 nights of heavy rain, but someone was taking care of it as best they could. The rain had the waterfall running fast and furious. I have added pics of an early morning and a sunset from the deck as screensavers to my phone to remind me of this beautiful place.

We had an absolutely perfect stay at this 5-star rental in Luray! The home was immaculately clean upon arrival, and the fantastic view of the surrounding nature was breathtaking. We loved spending evenings by the outdoor fire pit and cooking on the Weber charcoal grill. The downstairs jacuzzi was a wonderful bonus for relaxing after a day of activities. Speaking of activities, the location was truly fantastic for outdoor adventures like canoeing and bike riding. We can't recommend this home enough for anyone looking for a superb getaway in the Luray area!

I had a wonderful stay at 7 Elms. I had to come to the area for a work event in Gainesville, and my team and I decided to stay at this AirBNB. It was so lovely. Such a cool restoration of an old farmhouse, and the property was serene and wonderful. We didn't have time to explore the area, as we were working so much and long hours. the only thing I can speak to is the grocery store - and it had everything. We saw a bunch of wild animals during morning coffee time, and that was really special. I don't think I've actually ever seen groundhogs in person, and there's a hysterical duo that run the show. The hosts were easy to communicate with.

This place was perfect for what I needed. It was cozy, clean and in close proximity to restaurants, downtown, and close access to main roads in and out of town. I brought my dog and her fenced in yard was so convenient. I had the pleasure of meeting the Dianne and you could not finder a nicer host. 10/10 recommend!

This house was adorable and is in a location that couldn't be beat! We enjoyed our stay - coffee and wine on the decks and easy walks around the sites and shops in the lower town. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked and the views from everywhere were amazing! Easy 20-ish minute drive over to Loudon County wine country, if that's your destination. Check-in and check-out was great. Easy with flexible timing, which we greatly appreciated. Dean was VERY helpful, especially when it came to parking - we brought three cars and he made sure we had ample space, even when some of our drivers were unsure of the narrow roads. (Roads are hilly and corners are sharp in the mountains, if you are not used to that.) The house could use a good dust and sweep, but dishes and linens were clean and plentiful. Not a dealbreaker, unless you have allergies - but it is an old house, after all, so some of it is to be expected. We would gladly stay again!

Clean, well-stocked, spacious, and comfy! Town was a five minute walk with some great local shops and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!

The house was so uniquely quaint! It was truly a time to unwind from the craziness of this world! No TV other than in the upstairs bedroom and no Wi-Fi, which made it so nice to “unplug”! The sauna was absolutely amazing! The two options of fire pits to relax and have s’mores! The fireplace in the main living room was such an added bonus, to take the chill off in the morning and to just have a nice fire in the evening before bed. The fact that they had food there for us for breakfast was truly amazing! A bottle of wine to share, which was great considering we were there for our anniversary. You can get to so many places within 20 to 40 minutes! We went into Harpers Ferry for dinner at the Rabbit Hole! Harpers Ferry is a must to visit if you are in the area! Tons of trails, white water rafting and things to see and do are all just a short drive away. If you want a place to truly unwind, this is it! 🥰

We had a great time at Ryanne and Jay’s house! The location was fantastic - we enjoyed hiking the mountain and exploring Luray. Definitely try out Broad Porch Coffee - it’s their coffee shop, and it’s delicious! The house is exactly as pictured, with tons of thoughtful touches everywhere. We brought our whole family (including our Goldendoodle), and everyone enjoyed our time immensely. Ryanne and Jay kept in touch, but they were not intrusive. They ensured we had what we needed and were comfortable and were available for questions. Also, their book collection is amazing. If you forget a book, you are completely fine. I highly recommend!

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!!!

Simon was very responsive when messaged. We were happy with the home, everyone was comfortable. Easy ride to 7 Springs for the event we were attending. Will look to book next year!

This was our second stay at Janel's place and it was just as enjoyable as the first time. We loved the fireplace and views from the A frame windows. The hot tub wasn't working unfortunately, but things happen and Janel was communicative about it. Had a great weekend regardless. Also love that Janel is accommodating of dogs. Our fur babies were happy to join us on our getaway.

Elizabeth’s condo was excellent - cleanly, organized & in a wonderful location. Would definitely recommend.

Loved staying at Lazy Bear Lodge. Beautiful home with privacy on big property. Hosts were super responsive and gave great local recommendations. Very accessible to hiking and white water rafting.

We had a wonderful family reunion here with 3 generations. Each family had their own private space but there was tons to do on the property together as well. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and made sure we were comfortable and happy! We appreciated that the kitchen was well stocked, too.

My husband and I stayed here right after we hot married and it was the most lovely experience! It was an absolute blast, I wouldn’t have changed a thing except I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Maud was so sweet and I loved having her as a host. Cannot recommend enough!

Beautiful location, right beside the KOA which thr kids loved. Very near Harper's Ferry and local tourist attractions.

The lovely “cottage” on Deb‘s property was gorgeous, serene & just what the dr ordered for this exhausted DC mom! Deb couldn’t have been more welcoming; provided an amazing spread of fresh fruits, cookies, a lemon cake, wine, bagels w/cream cheese & OJ in the fridge. Super appreciated as we didn’t arrive until 9:30PM the 1st night. The 1st few days, my teen son & I enjoyed the tranquility of the property, including the refreshing pool & plenty of fun activities nearby. Then, my husband (who had to work), picked up our son so I cld decompress & have a couple much-needed days to hang out w/girlfriends who joined me @ the cottage. Although our last full day was a tad rainy, it didn’t deter us from having a delish brunch in town, checking out the arts festival by the canal & stepping into some cool stores on the main st of vibrant Frederick. Deb‘s accommodations were uber-plush; by far the most luxurious AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you so much for the cathartic reset, Deb! 😮‍💨
