Yurt vacation rentals in Shenandoah Valley

The location was in a peaceful setting along the river bank. I needed a break in between semesters for grad school and this was exactly what I needed. My yurt was fairly close to the road, so I could hear traffic as it went by, but later at night it wasn’t bad. This place had everything needed for a weekend getaway. I made reservations the night before after making last minute plans. I would definitely make plans to stay again if I come back to the area and would recommend for anyone looking for a weekend getaway along the river.

Really pleasant stay just outside of downtown Luray. Annette was responsive to my initial questions and the setting was really pretty along the river.

Our stay at Experience Learning was great. Drive in - easy for I believe a couple reasons: 1) the video the host sent to us, and 2) having an offline map of the area. The last few miles were gravelly. Power outage - upon arrival 3pm (bathroom was fully functional). Outage had little impact: 1) no access to wifi (no cell service in the area at all) (also wifi does not reach the yurt), and 2) cooked our dinner in dim lighting (not even an issue as Annie the kitchen aid was helpful to show us around). Yurt - as expected from listing. We were the only AirBnb guests that night, so Jackie the host allowed us to choose any yurts - decided to stay w/ the original booking. This yurt was the warmest of the 3 we saw since it has little tree coverage and is insulated. The yurt stayed warm and cooled off late night, esp after light rain. The bed was uncomfortable for us but fine for one night. Bathroom - as expected: clean but bring your own towels and amenities. Overall, would recommended staying.

What you, see is what you get! The yurt is a funky little gem. I would say it’s almost like camping, but you’re close to the center of town with all the restaurants and other amenities. Bathroom and shower is next-door at a River outfitter. The water is hot. The shower is basic. The yurt is very comfortable and quiet and I slept well. Freight trains do roll by a couple of times a night but I think you’d hear them regardless of where you stayed in town. If you’re looking for a funky and affordable place to stay, this yurt is for you.

This is our 2nd time at Annette’s yurts. We enjoyed our stay in the peaceful, beautiful environment!

This stay was exactly as described! It was an absolutely beautiful location on the river, with a VERY comfortable yurt and space for us to add some tent camping outside of it. Annette also helped us use their kayak, canoe and tube for a reasonable price without any hassle. No complaints!

Very well maintained and amazing property. Plenary of activities to keep kids occupied. It was unfortunate that we couldn’t do much outdoor activities as it rained through your the day during our stay. Would love to go again and again.

It was amazing, hope to go again in the future. Everyone had a wonderful time :) We had easy access to fish everyday and enjoyed “glamping”, great for those who are able to do real camping but still have a similar experience.

Wonderful family getaway! Close to the pool and other amenities. Place was clean and exactly as advertised.

Chris was very helpful and responsive, and proactively reached out to offer local recommendations. The resort staff was incredibly nice and responsive, and the yurt was spacious and clean. It was a short drive to Gordonsville for restaurants, and a slightly longer but convenient and manageable drive to Charlottesville. I’d strongly suggest BBQ exchange and Well Hung winery restaurant in Gordonsville, and Barboursville Winery was incredible.

The yurt was unique and fun to stay in - very well designed. Everything inside was quality and had really good lighting from both the skylight and the surrounding windows. I especially enjoyed the sauna which was one of the best ones I've used in an AirBnB. It heated up very well an you could pour water on the stones to steam it. They also conveniently have another door so you don't have to walk to far to access it in the winter. The shower was cool too and great for a couple. My only gripe is that should have provided a third chair for the dining table.

We had an amazing stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and surrounded by beautiful nature. The deck was our favorite spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful views. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway!

Terri Jo was a wonderful host!!! We absolutely loved our stay in the yurt! It was the perfect mix of comfort and nature. We spent our days hiking, relaxing, and enjoying quiet time together. A peaceful getaway — we can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful area. Our yurt was clean and cozy. Owners were super nice. Everything about it was awesome. Definitely want to go back. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely spectacular. Definition of “superhost”. You won’t find a whimsical wonderland like this anywhere else. This is our 2nd visit to the property. The yurt was amazing. So many spectacular little details. From the hot tub, grilling, paddling to the cute trio of ducks 11/10!

Great spot off of the Shenandoah River! We were able to rent a kayak from Annette and easily access the river right from the camp site. The amenities are great, especially the on site firewood and fire pit. There are other yurts on the site, but everyone was respectful and kept quiet after 9pm

A beautiful yurt on a beautiful property. About a 10 min drive into Luray, & 25 mins to Shenandoah entrance. I love that the place is close to a local vineyard, & lots of churches to check out if you need that. The yurt was as described. The space was very clean & welcoming. We loved the large hotel towels. Pet friendly is a huge plus!

We were 2 couples looking to get away for some hiking and relaxation. We found the cabin to be very cozy, ~25 minutes to a moderate hiking trail and a cool farm brewery. We enjoyed the deck for morning coffee, listening to the birds and watching the deer wander thru the wooded lot. We didn't use the inside fireplace, but took advantage of the outdoor fire pit and grill. Loved the mid century modern motif and record player. The game room was really awesome with the lighting and fun games!

If you are seeing this, just book it! This place is amazing!!! The pictures are great but don't even do it justice. The yurt is truly a work of art yet the whole atmosphere is so comfortable, cozy and tranquil. The amenities listed are enough that you really don't even need to leave the location. But if you do, there is a unique restaurant/general store/mill near by that is so beautiful. They do a have stocked pond and fish food that you can buy to feed the fish! As well as another general store, a grocery store and bakery about 20 mins away. The general store has amazing coffee! There are a few trails near by as well and just driving in the mountains in and of itself is a unique experience. I can't recommend this yurt enough and will definitely be coming back to WV just for it! It should be added to the list of WV landmarks.
