Country Roads, Take Me Home- Farmhouse in Luray, Va

OVERVIEW

Bonfire, stars, hiking, Atvs, skyline drive, good music, good company, (possibly?) black bears. What more could you want in a weekend?? Come with to a farmhouse located on 10 acres of land bordered by Shenandoah National Park, and experience all of these things!!

On Friday evening April 12th, we will depart for Luray, VA for a night away at Laurel Woodside Farmhouse, returning Saturday evening the next day. Laurel Woodside is a house owned by my family, usually used for vacation rentals. The house can sleep up to 7-8 people on beds and one couch. There is plenty of cleared/ flat space for camping as well as a cabin further up the mountain that could also be camped in, so pretty much as many people want to camp can.

When signing up for the trip I’ll ask wether you would prefer to camp or stay in the house, and so spots to sleep inside will just be first serve first come basis. Anyone who is camping will still have full access to the house (bathroom, kitchen, etc).
