Our Story
Built by hand.
Designed from heritage.
Kamara Cabins started with a simple idea: build something worth staying in.
Not a cookie-cutter rental. Not a remodel with a fresh coat of paint. Something built from the ground up — every beam chosen, every angle considered, every detail intentional. And something that looked like nowhere else in the Shenandoah Valley.
The design language comes from two places: the clean lines of Scandinavian minimalism and the rich textures of West and North African décor. That blend isn't an accident — it's personal. Morry's African heritage runs through every cabin, from the Moroccan-inspired bedroom in The Sparrow with its warm tones, intricate patterns, and floor pillows, to The Turtle's design-forward intimacy that draws on the same tradition of creating spaces that welcome you in and hold you close.
As a licensed General Contractor in Virginia, Morry didn't just design these cabins — he built them. Hands on the wood. Boots on the site. The Sparrow A-Frame was the first: built from DEN Outdoors plans into a 1,000-square-foot modern retreat in the heart of Page County. African soul poured into an A-frame shell.
Then came The Turtle — smaller, cozier, designed exclusively for couples. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls, a king bed facing the forest, and an elevated observation deck for stargazing. A different cabin, but the same philosophy: blend cultures, honor craft, create wonder.
Now The Stag is rising on the adjacent lot, completing the compound. Three cabins. Three lots. One vision: create spaces where people can disconnect from everything and reconnect with what matters — wrapped in a design tradition that most guests have never experienced before.

The Philosophy
Two traditions. One mountain.
Every cabin in the Kamara compound carries the same dual identity: Scandinavian restraint in the architecture, African warmth in the soul. Clean lines meet bold patterns. Minimalist structure meets rich, layered texture. The result is something guests describe as unlike anything they've stayed in before — because it is.
Every cabin is built to a standard, not a budget. Quality materials, thoughtful design, and the kind of attention to detail that only comes from an owner who's also the builder.
This isn't a portfolio of rental properties. It's a growing retreat — a place that gets better with each addition. The vision is long-term: build slowly, build well, and create something people come back to year after year. With 343 five-star stays and counting, it's working.
