About this chalet rental
Summary:
Experience cozy mountain living at Hummingbird Ridge, a renovated cabin perfect for families and small groups seeking relaxation and connection. Enjoy crisp mountain air and starlit evenings.
- Sleeps 10 | 4 bedrooms | 7 beds | 1.5 baths
- Hot tub & fire pit w/ seating
- Large deck w/ string lights & BBQ grill
- Pellet stove fireplace & spacious living area
- Fully equipped kitchen, Smart TV & WiFi
- Dedicated workspace, play area & pet-friendly
The Space:
The first light of spring drifts through tall windows, filling the cabin with a gentle, golden glow as the forest awakens with fresh green buds. You step onto a deck lit with soft string lights, feeling the cool mountain breeze while the scent of pine mingles with the faint aroma of a nearby fire pit. Inside, the pellet‑stove fireplace crackles, inviting you to unwind with a warm drink after a day of exploring. Evenings stretch out under a sky bright with stars, perfect for a soak in the hot tub as the night air turns crisp.
Sleeping arrangements
Four bedrooms accommodate up to ten guests. One bedroom offers a double bed. Two bedrooms each feature twin‑over‑queen bunk beds, ideal for families or mixed‑age groups. The fourth bedroom contains two twin beds. Linens, extra pillows, and blankets are provided for cooler nights.
Bathrooms
A newly renovated full bathroom and an additional half bath upstairs serve guests. Bathroom essentials are supplied for convenience.
Kitchen & dining
The fully equipped kitchen provides ample counter space and seating for shared meals, coffee, or a relaxed breakfast before heading out. A BBQ grill on the deck makes outdoor cooking easy when the weather permits.
Living area & amenities
Step through the red front door into a spacious living area with high ceilings, expansive windows, electric heat, and window A/C units that keep the cabin comfortable year‑round. A Smart TV and Wi‑Fi support movie nights and video calls, though speeds may vary in this remote setting. A dedicated workspace in a private room offers a quiet spot for focused work.
Outdoor living
The large deck, accented with string lighting, overlooks a private, open grassy backyard that isn’t fully fenced but includes a children’s play area and space for games when the weather allows. The hot tub remains a favorite for relaxing under the sky, and the fire pit with seating invites evenings of s’mores and storytelling.
Location
Nestled near Mount Jackson, the cabin is a short drive from the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, offering scenic hikes and seasonal beauty. Bryce Resort is about twenty minutes away, providing winter sports in colder months and warmer‑weather recreation during spring and summer, along with dining and local shops.
Perfect for
Families, friends, and small groups seeking a pet‑friendly mountain retreat will find room to spread out, reconnect, and enjoy a quieter pace. Dogs are welcome; cats are not allowed due to allergies. Whether gathering around the pellet stove, soaking in the hot tub on a cool evening, or exploring the surrounding forest, Hummingbird Ridge offers a comfortable base for a Shenandoah Valley escape.

Perfect place to stay on a hiking vacation

You can not beat the tranquility of this secluded spot in the mountains. And the owner's communication was fast and efficient. The bed was super comfy and the view of the stars at night was sublime. I enjoyed my stay very much.

Morning sunrise was amazing from the deck.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2023
It was surprising what the cabin did and did not have. It was better than most as far as cookware, kitchen supplies, shower supplies and so forth.
It was under supplied in tea towels (for a week of cooking), electrical outlets near mirrors (to style one's hair - no outlet in the bathroom) and no dresser, closet or even a luggage rack in the smallest bedroom. Linens were nice.
We enjoyed use of the deck grill, fire pit and hot tub and grilled and cooked daily.
It is pet friendly but no gates are on the porch. They say to bring your own baby gates (2) which we do not have. I would've rented 2 if they made that an option.
We had a blast zip line riding and my 10 year old grandson could not stop taking pics at Luray Caverns. Fantastic place.
My favorite pants badly snagged on a rough spot on the deck .
Some safety issues exist. The steps up from the driveway to the deck steps are unsafe and steep. We are retired, not young, and my husband has 2 ribs still healing from a past injury. He had to drag two ice chests and one large suitcase up those unsteady steps to the deck steps.
The lose stepping stones up to the hot tub are dangerous for children and adults.
The deck around the hot tub is to narrow to safely uncover and cover the tub. Narrow deck exists at the tub entry.
Two chairs were broken. The rocking chair inside; we reported quickly. It was not repaired during our stay. A lovely wooden deck chair was also falling apart.
The shower curtain is hung to low and drags on the shower floor. Another fall risk .
We will return to the area one autumn; when my youngest grandchild is big enough to zip line on Mamma Bear. They will want to see Luray Cavern again. We will look for a different cabin. A safer one.
