We recently stayed at Treetop Escape, managed by Woodruff Inns of Luray, Virginia on our visit to Shenendoah National Park. The cabin is very close to the Shenandoah River and about 9 miles from the Park. It is about 4 miles from the town of Luray and hard to find the first time. Plan to arrive during the daylight hours! The cabin sleeps 4, with 2 bedrooms and a loft with a cot that could accommodate one additional person if necessary. Sheets and towels are
provided but no soap! Although we did not use them there are 3 gas fire places. The kitchen has very nice stainless appliances. Take all of your own food,including salt and pepper if you plan on cooking. There are plenty dishes, utensils and pots and pans. We enjoyed our stay here and would return if in the area.

Took a trip out for an anniversary weekend, and was looking forward to a great trip because overall the place had great reviews.

The issues-
-VERY musty smelling room. Sort of junky tile floors with a few rugs covering up some spots. Hair in the bathtub, along with a large spider that kind of creeped my wife out. Doesn't really contribute to the ambiance...
-Rock hard mattress. Seriously the hardest thing I've ever slept on. I managed to sleep semi-ok, but my wife didn't get much sleep at all. Also does not make for a great weekend...
-Proximity to railroad tracks AND the town's fire siren. We were jarred from our not-so-deep sleep by the fire siren going off both mornings before 7 am. Train went by a few times in the night with quite a few honks on the whistle. You can see where this all is going...
-Sub-par food. The previous ratings were all fairly complementary of the cooking. There is a new chef (he talked with us about his recent move to Luray). The breakfasts were very blah- good ingredients, just not prepared well. Steak and eggs where the steak was REALLY dry and hard. Pancakes that were clearly reheated out of a freezer (we could hear the microwave from the dining area).
-On top of that, the chef was overly chatty about some pretty disturbing subjects. I'm all about getting to know people, especially in a cozy setting like a B&B, but he sat down and started talking to us about his perceived "weirdness" in the town and ended up talking about criminal penalties for rapists. No joke.

All in all, nowhere near the restful, relaxing weekend we were hoping for.

My husband was in town on business, and I tagged along to see the area. We thoroughly enjoyed the Victorian Inn. It has restaurant/bar/lounge area on first floor and 3 suites on the second floor. It is a beautiful old Victorian building! We stayed in the Turret Suite and thoroughly enjoyed it. This room has the jacuzzi tub in the room, beautiful four-poster king bed, a good sized bathroom and separate sitting room with fireplace - but not a real one, and I'm not even sure how to use it. It was unseasonably warm this March so we didn't even need it. The room has a door out to the balcony, which this room is at the end of the long balcony that goes from the back of the house past all the rooms. It's an alternative to getting to your room if you don't go thru main house. But was private and quiet as we were at the end of line so to speak. The bed was wonderful, all furnishings and decor stunning and fitting for the period. Very Very clean. They don't come in to your room unless you ask, which I liked. I just asked for clean towels everyday at breakfast. Breakfast is served downstairs, and at the time Aris was the chef. He and his wife Jessica tended to the Inn, as Woodruff has other properties. They have since left to pursue another venture at the end of March, but were very happy to have them taking care of us. Aris made us breakfast the three mornings we were there, something different and exotic every meal. Some of the best scrambled eggs and breakfast potatoes I've ever had, and I am happy he shared is seasoning secret with us! He was very personable and took great care of us. I can't comment on what the restaurant will be like now as there is new personnel in there as of April 1. A wonderful inn in a fantastic location right on Main Street. And while other write about the trains and sirens, I chalk it all up to atmosphere. There is a volunteer fire department close by and the siren does go off occasionally to summon personnel. There are also train tracks very close by, and very long freight trains that go thru, but again, just atmosphere to me so I didn't mind. Would chose this again for accommodations in Luray!

Our plan to explore Luray, VA attractions continued as we visited Shenandoah National Park and Shenandoah River. We enjoyed a lot and impressed with the town and its natural landscapes. We stayed at Woodruff Inns and chose Sky view Cabin and my decision proved very right and my girl friend was so much happy and the cabin had all the things of our interest and it was beautifully decorated. They provided us marvelous customer service and I saw all the guests were so satisfied and happy with the management and staff of Woodruff Inns. We will go back soon on our honeymoon trip in October.
