    We loved our stay at The Bahannon House!
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Four-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 3 nights

    There was nothing we disliked about our visit and the house. The house was charming and loaded to the gills with games and books and big TVs along with movies and DVDs.

    We were right in town, close to the cafes, restaurants and shopping. The train was startling at first (especially the first night) but we embraced and loved it by the end. We would get so excited when we could hear the ding ding dings in the distance and run out on the front porch and wave. We had a 6- and 7-year-old with us who absolutely loved it. There was plenty of towels, the showers had shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Every bathroom had hand soap. The kitchen was fully loaded with paper towels, trash bags, dish soap and dishwasher pods. The hot tubs was HUGE! There were 7 of use total and we all fit very comfortably. The neighbors were super nice also. They had cats and ponies that they let us pet and love on. We also loved the front porch. We sat out on the porch allot drinking coffee and talking while watching the cars and people walking go by. It was a girl's trip celebrating my daughter's 40th birthday and she kept telling me .... "This house is awesome Mom thanks so much for making the arrangements". We visited the Caverns which were amazing and ate dinner the Chop House Bistro. We had a most excellent time!

    The railway trucks are really close to the house and the train runs several times per night waking up everyone.

    The house was really great, close to all the places of interest

    The beds in the bunk bed room are a bit crunchy/noisy whenever you move on them. Also the train horn at night is annoying

    The house was so cute and even bigger than the photos showed! The porch and hot tub were great to have, and the location was awesome too. I didn’t see washing machine in the listing so that was a nice surprise!

    The house is close to the train tracks. This didn’t bother me because I live in a noisy city and I don’t even notice when the trains passed by, but if you’re not used to the background noise you might want to wear ear plugs (which the host provided tons of!) at night.

    We liked the recently updated decorations, comfy beds, soft sheets, huge new smart TVs, super nice gas grill, spacious front porch, easy check-in and check-out, and the location (super easy to walk into town). We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked really nice too. The host responded to messages almost instantly and was very helpful.

    We found Luray to be a noisy small town. It wasn't just the train across the street that others have mentioned, but there were consistently loud trucks passing by and sirens in the area during our stay. Of course, this is not anything the host has control over. We consider the noise to be a trade off for being in town and close to so many great places within walking distance.

    We liked being within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, an ice cream shop, movie theater, library, the Greenway, etc. My family enjoyed the comfy beds, big screen TV's, and the front porch. The host of this home is definitely one of the best we have ever dealt with as far as communication and attention to detail.

    House is so close to the rail road track. Trains run in the middle of the night. Louder than expected.

    Location. Located in Luray, VA, it is so close to the Shenandoah National park. House is near the center of town, easily walkable to multiple restaurants, breweries, etc.. Loved the fact that the walking trail/Greenway is so close for our morning walk with pets.

    Lindsey and her family were wonderful hosts: when questions arose one of them was easily accessible and addressed them promptly. The location is fabulous - we ended up walking to several close by fun spots - from the river walk, to restaurants, to the post office; and being right across the street from the Visitor Center was a wealth of friendly information. The hot tub is a fabulous addition, even if it's raining, you can still enjoy the outdoors!

    It is noisy. The street that the house is on is not large, but trucks and cars create a lot of noise. There are train tracks on the other side of the street, and several long trains pass by during the night, using the very loud horn multiple times.

    The house was charming, with high ceilings. It was comfortable and fully equipped to a high standard. The beds were very good. Its location was good, an easy walk to coffee shops and restaurants in the center of the small town of Luray. The owners were very responsive. The Luray visitor center is across the street; it's very interesting and worth seeing.

    The bunk beds were not the most comfortable, mostly because they creaked so much and the noise made it hard to stay asleep. Other than that, everything was perfect.

    The house was beautifully kept and so clean. The host was amicable and easily accessible, making our time amazing. Everyone was enamored by the lovely home and we had an amazing stay. The house accommodates people of all ages and there is a good amount to do in the town nearby.

    We would have appreciated knowing in advance that the house is not suited for light sleepers because of the proximity with the freight train tracks, the possible fire department siren alarm (which happened twice the first night) and the metal frames bunk beds.

    The house was as advertised, with attention to detail. Luray is a nice little town with enough to keep kids and adults entertained for 2-3 days, especially as a starting point for hikes. We enjoyed the porch, the little museum across the street and the vibrant coffee shop nearby.

    It is a beautiful and well-kept home! The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was sufficient for our needs. The dining room table was large, big enough for the games we played. We loved the front porch for morning coffe and evening conversation. The porch swing was a big hit, especially with our little one.

    Location was very noisy - directly on a busy street and across from a working train track. House had a nice porch in front, but it was hard to sit and talk. One bathroom was on the ground floor, well away from the bedrooms. An odd location and a bit hard to shower there. AC all via window units, which were noisy.

    It was a real house with two floors, living and dining rooms, kitchen, etc. Good for a group of people.
