Milestone birthdays
Fortieth, fiftieth, sixtieth. Take the whole property, invite the people who matter, and give them a reason to stay for three nights instead of one dinner.
Birthdays, girls’ weekends & bachelorettes
A weekend away is the present.
Hespera Reach is two private five-bedroom cabins near Luray, Virginia, fifteen minutes from Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns: ten bedrooms, twelve beds and seven bathrooms, sleeping twenty.
For the birthday that ends in a zero.
The best milestone trips are the ones where everyone is in the same place for long enough to stop checking the time. Two cabins on a private hill, two hours from DC, sleeping twenty in ten real bedrooms: close enough to get everyone there on a Friday, far enough that nobody leaves early.
Days are the park, the caverns, the vineyards or nothing at all. Evenings are a long dinner at a table for twenty, then the sauna, the hot tub, and karaoke in whichever games room is louder.
It's a place to stay rather than a party house: the celebration is for the people sleeping here.
Girls’ weekends and bachelorettes
Ten bedrooms with their own keys, two saunas and two hot tubs, wine in the valley, and nobody else on the hill.
Questions people ask
Can we book a milestone birthday weekend?
Yes. Fortieths, fiftieths and sixtieths are some of the most common reasons people take the whole property. Two nights minimum, three on holiday weekends.
Is it good for a girls' weekend or bachelorette?
Yes, for groups who want a weekend away together rather than a party. Ten bedrooms, two hot tubs, two saunas, karaoke in both games rooms, and wineries in the valley.
Can we invite people who aren't staying?
Hespera Reach is a place to stay, not an event venue. The celebration is for the people staying; we don't host parties for outside guests.
Is there somewhere for a big dinner?
Yes. Aubade's Long Room seats twenty at one table, and we can introduce you to a valley chef.
What is there to do nearby?
Shenandoah National Park fifteen minutes east, Luray Caverns fifteen minutes west, vineyards and a meadery in the valley, and the river in summer.
