Cherokee Rose Yurt
A great spot right on the river. An excellent place to make your base camp or to just hang out at for the weekend. Annette’s recommendations were great and she had all of the basics available so you don’t have to pack a ton!

Cherokee Rose Yurt
Fantastic weekend getaway!
We had a great time staying in the Cherokee Rose yurt. We were a family of three (including a 10 year old) and a dog. The property is beautiful and the yurt has been furnished thoughtfully with lights, small appliances, and space for everything. The view of the river front the deck and picnic table was lovely, and the yurt was comfortable cooled and stayed dry in the pouring rain.
The bathhouse had hot water and was kept clean and well lit. The property was well kept and easy to find, and close to many things to keep us busy.

Hummingbird Yurt
Little home away from home
Space was exactly as described. Linens were provided and bathhouse was very close by. Loved that the fire pit was right along the water, and just a few steps from our Yurt. Wood was very reasonably priced, and the convenience of having a lockbox entry for the key was helpful as we arrived later at night. Space was clean.
Close by to the Luray Caverns, and a cute downtown area with some good local spots.
Definitely suggest checking out the Blue Sheppard Distillery and West Main Market (especially if their outdoor space is open!) WOULD NOT suggest Anthony’s pizza, although they delivered & it was convenient, it took double the expected time and the food arrived overcooked and cold.

Hummingbird Yurt
Peaceful Night on the River
Really enjoyed our stay here. Had some weather that wasn't ideal so we didn't get to enjoy the sunset/sunrise/night sky as much as others, but it was still a beautiful, serene place and falling asleep to the pitter patter of rain on the yurt was so peaceful, as was sitting by the water with our coffee. Even if it ruined our sunrise-watching plans, the way the fog misted over the morning was so soothing.
Yurt itself was clean and inviting. The bath house was also clean.
Regarding smells, the smell in the bath house is a bit strong as noted in other reviews, but people who are used to water with strong smells should be fine. It smells like very mineral-rich water. It really depends on the person.
Helpful info for future campers: Mini fridge does have mini freezer big enough for a few items. Picnic table for Hummingbird is close enough for 1-2 people to use it to sit near the fire. Purple bedding in listing images is there at the yurt, so you only need bedding if you're using the futon or want extra pillows. There is an electric kettle I don't recall being on the listing. You don't need to byotoilet paper, soap, or paper towels for the bathroom, but you will need your own paper towels (or rags) for the yurt. There's also a soda machine on site if you want to bring change.
Overall wonderful. Fully imagine I'll visit again.
