Inn At The Shenandoah

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Orchid Suite for a couple nights, and had a great time. Ann asked what type of wine we liked, and had a bottle waiting for us in the room! The suite was very large and comfortable, and the jacuzzi was amazing. We had a lot of privacy because the suite has its own entrance, with stairs leading up to the deck. At breakfast (which was delicious), we mentioned we were going for a hike. Larry surprised us by giving us each a lunch bag with a bottle of water, an orange, and the best oatmeal cookie I’ve ever had. He was kind enough to give me the recipe :)

We really enjoyed the Inn at Shenandoah. Ann is delightful and Chef Larry (A culinary school graduate) served up fabulous Belgian waffles eggs and bacon for breakfast. Also provided was a bottle of Cabernet which we didn’t have time to consume! Our room was clean spacious and had its own entrance and porch. It is interesting that a Confederate soldier who died after Gettysburg is buried there… and no, we did not see a ghost!

We reserved the Autumn Suite for our weekend in Luray; when we checked in we were greeted by the manager, Ann Merrigan. She was very friendly and pleasant and gave us a tour of the house. The first floor is comprised of sitting rooms and dining rooms, and the guest rooms and her office are on the second floor. While she was acclimating us, she mentioned in a very offhand way that there is a ghost and «not to worry; she hangs out around the bottom of the stairs, and is sometimes seen there around 6 in the morning.» I do think that if you have a resident ghost, you might want to mention it on your website so peopel can be aware before they reserve rooms, but we didn’t see or hear anything strange, and teased each other all weekend saying «It’s the ghost!»
I hadn’t realized that the jacuzzi tub would be right in the bedroom part of the suite; when you walk in, there’s a huge four-​poster king-​sized bed and an equally large tub, which seems a little odd initially, though it worked out great. We did use the tub after we got back from our long hike in the snow at Mary’s Rock, and it was just the thing for tired muscles.
There is an outer deck or boardwalk with stairs down to the ground that gives each room private access from outside the house. The Autmun suite is the last one on the boardwalk, so we felt it was very private. Each suite, including ours, has a little table with two chairs in a corresponding nook on their part of the boardwalk. It was too cold for us to use ours, but would be great outside of winter.
Our bathroom was clean and simple. I neglected to bring a hair dryer, and I didn’t see one readily at hand, but they may have had one available if I had asked. Shower had good pressure and seemed to have plenty of hot water.
Our suite also has a little turret sitting room attached — it looks out the front of the house, onto the street. It is fitted with a small (very very cushy) loveseat, an electric «fireplace» heater, and a TV, as well as a mini-​fridge which was stocked with a few snacks, waters, sodas, and the bottle of wine we were given upon our arrival.
The bed was comfortable but had a squeak in it that was a bit annoying. Also, on our last morning there, the local air raid siren went off for about 5 minutes around 7:30AM for no apparent reason; the Inn is a few doors away from the fire station, so we also heard many vehicle sirens while we were there.
Breakfast was really terrific. The chef is Larry Merrigan, and I thanked him profusely for going out of his way to satisfy our requests. I am currently vegan, and on short notice, he crafted me 2 days of breakfasts that were attractive, creative, and tasty. Day one, he made me a vegan waffle with strawberry topping (in addition to the excellent fresh fruit plate that is the standard breakfast appetizer for all guests), and on Day two, he made a really lovely quinoa breakfast bowl with almond milk, BEAUTIFUL and delicious blackberries, strawberries and walnuts. He also insisted on serving me a little of the sauteed asparagus and peppered cherry tomatoes that he had made for the guests eating the eggs benedict, and I can attest that they were delightful as well. I advise anyone with special dietary needs to let Ann or Larry know as soon as possible upon booking, and then to expect to be catered to with utmost care and competence.
Clearly, we really enjoyed our stay, and I definitely think I picked the best spot in Luray for a relaxed and comfortable weekend.

AMAZING!!!
We came for a getaway and didn’t want to leave. The accommodations are very impressive. We stayed in the Orchid Suite and WOW! The bathroom is larger than most people’s bedroom! The jacuzzi tub was well used after a long day of hiking.
The bed was so comfortable and inviting. We were able to use our private balcony to see the Blue Moon, which was awesome!
Ann the Innkeeper was most friendly. She was knowledgeable about the area and gave great recommendations for things to do while we were there.
Breakfast was OUTSTANDING! Gourmet omelets with grilled asparagus. The mini muffins were out of this world!
A world class experience!

The Inn at Shenandoah is a wonderful bed and breakfast in the middle of Luray Virginia. This place is wonderful. The rooms are beautifully maintained and the service is second to none. Southern hospitality is in full force here as the innkeeper and her son make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was phenominal. Started with a fruit plate followed by Great omelets, sausage, veggies, and biscuits. Would highly recommend this place to anyone coming to the area. Price is very reasonable too

I love this place. I am never going back to a hotel again! The staff was wonderful, the rooms were clean and nicely furnished. The two person jet tub and chandelier made for a romantic evening. Breakfast was delicious no complaints. This is a hidden gem of Luray.

My mom and I decided to take a last minute trip to Luray, and we found the Inn through travelocity. The price was very reasonable. Everyone was very friendly and helpful with local recommendations, and our room was spacious, comfortable, and relaxing. Breakfast was filling and delicious. We each had coffee, oj, fruit salad, muffins, omelets, bacon & veggies. Lastly, the location is perfect for a visit to the caverns or Shenandoah National Park. Would definitely stay again, everyone here is so lovely. We also got a complementary bottle of wine when we arrived!
