Faraway Camp — Hotel in Luray

Recently stayed in their dome December 2024. The dome is very nice, clean, modern, nicely decorated and new. However, the heating system is inadequate. The system kept turning off approximately every 2 hours on our last night there therefore only having an interior temperature of 41 degrees. This made for a miserable and less desirable accommodations. The owners said it gets a little cold; I think 41 degrees is a more than a "little cold".

While we had intended to hike more, we ended up staying in the dome for much of our visit, watching the sunset, playing games, sipping coffee, enjoying meals cooked on the grill/griddle, reading books, and just taking in the amazing views. We cannot...

As a first-time glamper, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than Faraway! The dome we stayed in was spotless and thoughtfully equipped with everything you'd expect from a hotel—air conditioning, heating, a kitchenette, and even dog bowls for our furry child. The location was perfect, just a short drive from several wineries and Shenandoah National Park. One of the highlights was having access to grills and flat tops, which came in handy when we brought our own cooler and cooked up some delicious steaks while taking in the breathtaking views. I’m already looking forward to...
