Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in helping us maintain this beautiful space for all guests.

We really enjoyed our stay. It ranks up there with the best AirBnb we have used. Simple but had all the comforts of home. It’s not remote but you definitely feel remote when you’re there. Awesome place!

We had a fantastic time at the cabin! The hammock chairs were a great addition, the hot tub was super clean, the fire pit was great (tons of wood), the kitchen had a whole bunch of cooking supplies—it was honestly a perfect trip! My only note, would be that outdoor trash bin really needs a lock of some sort to keep wildlife out.

We had amazing stay with kids. Mountain view from patio was amazing. All amenities such as WiFi, hot tub, kitchen, laundry were in good condition. We would definitely like to comeback when back in the area.

It was a wonderful weekend. The house is clean and comfortable. The host is always quick to respond if I reach out. The hot tub is sooo relaxing and the jets are perfect. The shower has great water pressure and feels wonderful. It’s a fun drive up to the cabin looking for wildlife. Can’t wait to go back.

Absolutely loved this home and the environment. It was so quiet and very beautiful, the water fall behind back was a plus. Didn’t expect to see that through the back window into the woods. Also loved that there was a height chair and pack & play, made it super easy for us especially with young kids. Definitely see ourselves booking again in the future.

Absolutely magical stay! This cliffside home near Luray was everything we hoped for and more. Secluded, peaceful, and with breathtaking views — we truly felt like we had our own little corner of the world. The hot tub and fire pit were perfect for cozy evenings under the stars, and the fully stocked kitchen was a dream (I even got some baking in!). We grilled all our meals on the big outdoor setup, which made it feel like a proper retreat. Driving through the surrounding farms and rolling green landscapes was a highlight — every turn felt like a postcard. The home had everything we needed and more. We felt so at ease and taken care of. Highly, highly recommend. We’re already planning our next trip back!

My husband and I absolutely loved this home. It was a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Very private, serene and peaceful. The views of the mountain even from inside the house is breathtakingly beautiful. I ultimately loved hearing the sounds of the birds chirping in the morning. The tub was a very nice way to end the night after a long day of exploring the Shenandoah National Park. This place is everything you need to unwind. We would love to go back! Thank you for letting us stay❤️

Our stay at Mansai’s was amazing. We saw all sorts of wildlife while driving up the driveway along with deer and turkeys walking up and down the mountains behind the house. My daughters enjoyed the open floor plan that allowed plenty of room for them to play along with the wrap around deck and large back yard. I’d recommend this place to anyone, it was the exact getaway we needed. Thank you Mansai!

We had a wonderful stay! The view is even more incredible than the pictures can show. We could hear a waterfall not far from the home along with lots of night bugs and birds. Incredibly peaceful and private. Simple home, but has all the basics that you need. It is a bit of an adventure to get there...definitely recommend all wheel or 4 wheel drive to navigate the long driveway, but the view and the privacy is worth the effort. You can get to Shenandoah National park in 30-40 minutes depending on which entrance you're taking. Always a wonderful time at the park.
