Luray, Virginia · Shenandoah Valley

Close enough,
and a world away.

Two hours away, and a different time zone of the soul.

Why we built it

We stood on this hillside
and didn't leave for two hours.

The valley folds open to the east. The Blue Ridge runs the full horizon. The air smells like cedar and wet leaves. We knew before we walked back to the car that this was where HOM Villas would start. A small collection of A-frame cabins designed in the Scandinavian register, warmed by where they sit.

The HOM guide

Plan your visit

Three days in
Luray and Shenandoah

Caverns, overlooks, river days, and fire-pit nights. The itinerary we'd hand our own friends landing in Luray for a long weekend.

Friday: caverns and Main Street Luray Caverns, Main Street shopping, sunset from a Skyline ridge overlook, fire pit at the cabin.

Saturday: Skyline Drive Stony Man Trail, Blue Ridge overlooks, Dark Hollow Falls, and dark-sky stargazing from the deck.

Sunday: river and slow goodbye Shenandoah River (tubing in summer), orchards or wineries in fall, one last valley view before heading home.

The black A-frame emerges

This month the cabin really took shape. The deep matte-black board-and-batten and standing-seam metal panels are going up fast, and you can finally see the silhouette we've been chasing. Construction is moving quickly: windows are getting their final seals, the dormers are wrapped, and the Scandinavian exterior is reading exactly the way we hoped.
