Booking
How do I check availability and book?
Enter your dates and guest count on any page and press Check availability. You'll see which cabins fit, then continue to the booking page for that cabin, where rates, fees and taxes are shown before you confirm.
Is there a minimum stay?
One night for arrivals Sunday to Thursday. Stays that start on a Friday or Saturday are two nights or more, unless a single night is all that is free between two bookings. If the dates you pick fall short, checkout says so before anything is charged.
Can I book more than one cabin?
Yes. Book each cabin for the same dates, or email us and we'll coordinate a whole-property stay for groups of up to twelve.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms are shown before you confirm on the booking page. Reach out directly if your plans change — we will always do what we can.
Your stay
What are check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 10:00 AM. Check-in is self-service; you'll receive your access details and directions before arrival.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, at all three cabins. There is a one-off pet fee per stay: $25 at The Turtle, $50 at The Sparrow and The Stag. Tell us at booking so we can have the cabin ready.
Is there WiFi?
Every cabin has Starlink satellite internet, averaging around 180 Mbps: fast enough for video calls and streaming. Use WiFi calling if your carrier is weak in the mountains.
What should I bring?
Linens, towels and a kitchen with cookware and dishes are provided. The Turtle's kitchen has a cooktop but no oven. Bring hiking shoes, swimsuits for the hot tub, and groceries from Luray on your way in; the nearest store is about ten minutes away.
How do I get there?
The cabins are about 10 minutes from downtown Luray, about two hours from Washington, D.C., before traffic, up a gravel mountain road. Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is strongly recommended. Exact directions arrive with your check-in details.
The property
Are the cabins next to each other?
Yes. All three sit on adjacent wooded lots on the same hillside. Each has its own deck and hot tub, set among the trees for privacy.
Who runs Kamara Cabins?
Kamara Cabins is owner-built and owner-run. Morry, a veteran and licensed Virginia Class A contractor, built each cabin and lives locally. Questions go straight to him.
The Turtle
Is The Turtle suitable for more than two guests?
No. The Turtle is a one-bedroom cabin with a single king bed and is designed for two guests only.
Is the hot tub private?
Yes. The hot tub is on The Turtle's own deck and is for your use only during your stay.
How private is the cabin?
The Turtle sits on its own lot, the most private on the property, with forest on all sides. The other cabins are on adjacent lots with their own decks and driveways.
The Sparrow
How are the two bedrooms arranged?
The loft bedroom upstairs has a queen bed; it is open to the living space below and doubles as a workspace. The Moroccan-inspired main-floor bedroom has a full bed. The cabin sleeps four.
Is The Sparrow good for working remotely?
Yes. Starlink internet averages around 180 Mbps and the loft bedroom doubles as a workspace with an all-in-one computer and printer.
Is there a fire pit?
Two. A gas fire-pit table on the wraparound deck, and a stone, wood-burning fire pit out front under a pergola, with a hanging swing and Adirondack chairs facing the mountain view. Inside, a wood-burning stove anchors the living room.
The Stag
How are the beds arranged?
The main-level suite has a king bed and its own 55-inch 4K TV. The upstairs bedroom has both a king and a full bed. The cabin sleeps six across two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
What is in the game loft?
A Polycade arcade system loaded with games, air hockey, a Board game console — a 24-inch touchscreen that plays with real physical pieces — with floor seating, a sofa and an egg chair beside a 6 × 7 ft picture window overlooking the trees.
Can we book The Stag together with the other cabins?
Yes. The three cabins together sleep up to twelve. Email us for whole-property stays and we'll coordinate the dates.
