Piney Hill Bed & Breakfast and Cottages

We had an absolutely amazing and relaxing experience here! Highly recommend it! The food and the rooms were both awesome and comforting. We went horseback riding and had massages all worked through piney hill, making it easy and wonderful!

As the threat of negative wind chills blanketed the airwaves, we ventured out to Luray from our urban haven. We had planned this weekend as a birthday and valentines getaway, and a little cold weather was not going to get in the way. We were greeted by warm hospitality and a wonderful toasty atmosphere. The Inn was decorated with an abundance of antiques, tastefully arranged with delicate lighting. Hank and Wiley took very good care of us and genuinely served our needs. Breakfast in the morning is served in the inn as one group seating as great opportunity to meet others staying there. The breakfast consisted of delicious cream cheese stuffed french toast with side of fruit. The second morning we had a savory sausage and egg quiche with a fresh apple crisp on the side.
We enjoy bed and breakfast accommodations for the small scale attention and random opportunities for socialization. In the evening, we met and exchanged stories with fellow travelers in the cozy living room as we sipped hot tea and indulged on homemade mini cupcakes.
We were treated to homemade red velvet cake for valentines day as we settled into our bedroom for the night. The accommodations were comfortable even with the 50 mph winds rushing past the old farmhouse. Although the fireplace/​heater in the room was a bit weak, we enjoyed snuggling under the cozy quilts on the bed. We woke the second morning with beautiful sun shimmering off the snow and throughout the house, and sadly began our trip back to the city.
Overall, we rate this place a very high «Excellent.» It is easy to see why Piney Hill B&B gets all of the 5-​star reviews. They have been in the business for 16 years and they know how to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here for our anniversary. Wiley and Hank are great hosts — made us feel at home the moment we walked in. We stayed in the Hurley Byrd Cottage and we’re quite happy with the accommodations. Very clean, up to date, and comfortable. Perfect place to kick back and relax.
We will be back and highly recommend staying here.

A Little Piece of Heaven
That’s exactly how we would characterize the Piney Hill B&B, a little piece of heaven tucked away in the hills near Luray, Virginia. My wife and I both said, we cannot remember a time in our lives and any of our travels when we were so pleased with a place that we have stayed. This is our idea of getting away from it all and to have some peace and quiet and serenity for a couple of days. There are not enough words in my vocabulary to tell everything about this place. You will just have to see for yourself. Believe me, it’s everything that any advertisement you see for it says it is. From the time we pulled up in the driveway until the moment we left, we were just so overwhelmed with this place. We were met by Hank and Wiley, the proprietors of Piney Hill. These two guys make it just what it is, a wonderful place to stay. Your breakfast will look like it just came from the pages of Southern Living. We stayed in the Rosebud Cottage. From the back porch, there is a panoramic view of Massanutten Mountain. Just absolutely gorgeous. There’s a screened in porch on the front where my wife and I sat in the evening enjoying our wine. A wonderful and enjoyable place to stay for a nice getaway. I noticed that there is one review that said it was terrible. All I can say is that I think they must have stayed at one of the local pig farms, because they could not have stayed here and write a terrible review. If there was a 6-​star rating here here on Travel Advisor, I wouldn’t hesitate to give it.

My girlfriend and I stayed at this bed and breakfast for a weekend visit to the countryside. It was as good as you can get! There are five total rooms: two outside in separate cottages, and three in the main house. The rooms are well priced, very clean, and with basic amenities like TV, separate bathroom, and free wi-​fi. The B&B owners are very attentive and helpful. They sent us several emails to coordinate our breakfast food and drink and also to make sure of any food preferences or allergies. They also texted us to check our arrival times.
The location is near many attractions. Luray Caverns and Luray, VA are nearby. Skyline drive and all the trails and overlooks at Shenandoah park are also less than 30 minutes away. The owners have us a guide map that listed all of those attractions, plus nearby restaurants, stores, vineyards, and other sites. We didn’t need a GPS the weekend! Everything was close by and easy to get to. Of course, a B&B has to have good breakfast, and Piney Hill had the best. We had a special french toast with a fruit parfait the first morning, and a sausage-​egg breakfast cake with toasted fruit bread the second morning. Amazing! It was just a perfect weekend for us, and we’ll definitely come back soon!

Everything about staying at the Piney Hill B&B was wonderful. The rooms/​house are spotless — cleaner than any hotel room you’ll stay at. You won’t find a better breakfast in the area — theirs is superb. The innkeepers are among the nicest and most caring folks you’ll meet. The experiences you can have will satisfy just about anyone — hiking the mountains, tubing down the river, exploring Luray Caverns, wine tastings at the many local wineries, free tours of the Copper Fox distillery, star-​gazing, relaxing on the porch, getting a couple’s massage, horse-​back riding, etc. Wiley and Hank were amazing hosts and were extremely helpful with setting up reservations and recommending options based on your interests. They put their lives into this B&B and it shows. Without them, this would have been a great B&B. They took it over the top and made it the best B&B I’ve ever stayed at. If you want a great getaway to the best B&B, I’d highly recommend staying at the Piney Hill. Thanks Hank and Wiley!

Hank and Wiley are very welcoming. My fiancé and I were impressed by their attention to detail from check-​in to check-​out. When we came in, they acquainted us with the area and local restaurants. We took two of their recommendations, and both were great.
We stayed in the Emma room and it was very well appointed and remarkably clean. They provided us w/​hotel amenities and beyond (including wine glasses and an opener!). For those of you looking for a short romantic stay and can’t afford a cabin, this room had the addition of an electric fireplace, and an in-​room bathroom. We didn’t use it, but they offered an amazing movie selection.
The outdoor space is beautiful, and includes a large porch w/​seating and a great backyard. We did not bring a bathing suit, but we also saw that they had a hot tub.
For your convenience, they provide snacks and candies in the dining area (and also some candies in the room). They also provided complimentary water and sodas.
To top everything off, breakfast was delicious. They served us freshly made sticky buns, sausage quiche, and fresh fruit along w/​orange juice and coffee.
The level of service is outstanding, and Hank and Wiley are two really awesome hosts. We can’t wait to go back!

The most perfect B & B I’ve been to ever; Hank and Wiley have ruined me for every one to come. We stayed in the cottage – a 500-​ish square foot studio apartment like stand-​alone building with a neat stove-​like heater that has the ambiance of a constantly burning fire but that self-​regulates the temperature and doesn’t get smoky. The cottage backs up to fields complete with the occasional grazing cow and stunning views of the mountains. Even though it was cold outside, we went out on the back porch to take in the view with our morning coffee. Both the cottage and main house are gorgeously appointed – like something out of a magazine. Breakfast was incredible – different every day, delicious, homemade and with interesting twists and lots of variety. I’m more of a foodie and my SO is more of a «pot roast and potatoes» man yet we both were just blown away by our breakfast baskets. Which brings me to another nice feature of the cottage – they leave breakfast in a basket on the front porch so you can sleep in if you’d like and don’t have to awkwardly fumble for a robe just to get your meal from someone waiting at the door. When we woke up, we opened the door and it was there waiting for us. If the hot dishes get cold, there is a microwave in the cottage kitchen to reheat if you need it. It’s all those kinds of little details that sets this b&B apart. My SO mentioned to Hank that I had some food allergies – and they went out of their way to accommodate them. On one gorgeous full-​moon night, we slipped into the hot tub and enjoyed the fresh country air. My SO also sprung for the couples massage – a surprise that Hank helped keep – and it was a top-​quality experience. They had fantastic recommendations for lunch and dinner spots, helped my SO get a vase of my favorite flowers in the room, and were somehow warm and available yet we never really noticed they were around. We cannot wait to head back in the summer or fall to do some hiking and stop back to check out some of the little shops we discovered.

My boyfriend and I stayed with Hank and Wiley for the weekend to celebrate his birthday and our 1-​year anniversary. It was the perfect romantic weekend. The house and scenery are beautiful, the house is quiet and even though there were two other couples there, we could easily be alone when we wanted. Breakfast both days was amazing and provided lots of energy for the activities ahead. We went kayaking down the Shenendoah for a beautiful 8-​mile trek, and rested with a bottle of wine in the hot tub that evening. Best weekend in a long time.

This place is as good as it gets if you love staying in a B & B. All you have to do is check TripAdvisor and see the hundreds upon hundreds of 5 star reviews. Hank & Wiley were meant to be innkeepers. The place looks like a shoot out of Country Living Magazine. Food is wonderful and their attention to detail is unrivaled. Reserve in advance because they are busy busy busy!
