Are you interested in staying at Postcard Cabins Shenandoah? We stayed at this cabin for a few days and had a fantastic time. It’s a tiny space but we never felt uncomfortable or cramped. It was perfect and I can’t wait to visit again.

The Postcard Cabins Shenandoah have a great backstory. One of the founders is Jon Staff, a Minnesota native who grew up enjoying the outdoors. But as he started going up the corporate ladder, he found himself searching for more. He decided to quit his job and bought a trailer. His decision gave him more time to reflect and disconnect from life’s stressors. And that is how the idea behind Postcard Cabins began. Now they have over 10 cabins all across North America.

Where are the Postcard Cabins Shenandoah?

Postcard Cabins Shenandoah is about 2.5 hours from Washington, D.C. Leaving before rush hour is very important, or you can expect to add an extra 1.5 hours to your trip.

Postcard Cabins Shenandoah is located deep in the country. Expect to see a few Confederate flags and lots of cows.

What’s on the Inside of Postcard Cabins Shenandoah

Before you arrive at Postcard Cabins Shenandoah, I suggest doing a few things.

  1. Pack your essentials. The closest major grocery store is about an hour away, but a small grocery store is 20 minutes away. The selection is small and closes early, but it is efficient for small runs.
  2. Bring your own coffee, water, and tea. I was shocked to see that these items were not complimentary. Instead, one packet of tea and coffee costs $2.50, and their eco-friendly water boxes cost $3.50.
  3. Their S’mores kit is not halal-friendly, but you can purchase gelatin-free marshmallows here.

Fun Things to Do in the Area

You can easily add a campfire kit to your Postcard Cabins Shenandoah package. It was very easy to start, including wood, a fire starter, a lighter, and a grill. We made roasted oyster mushrooms and chicken on the grill while frying french fries on the stovetop. The cabin had all the cooking utensils we needed including a frying pan, pots, silverware, plates, bowls, and knives.

Hiking in the Shenandoah

One of the closest hiking trails to the Postcard Cabins Shenandoah is Moorman’s Trail, a 2.5-mile that allows you to take a dip in the Blue Hole, the perfect swimming spot to cool off during the summer.

Luray Caverns

Luray Caverns is one of the largest cavern systems in the United States. It was discovered in 1878, and since then, it has captivated visitors with its stunning formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, and mirrored aqua blue pools. It feels like you’ve walked into a brand new planet down there.

Do Postcard Cabins Shenandoah Have Wifi?

In today’s digitally driven world, most of us rely on wifi. We had wifi in our cabin but the website makes it clear that some do not have a strong wifi signal. While some may fear the dreaded disconnection, the Postcard Cabins Shenandoah embraces it wholeheartedly. Say goodbye to endless email notifications and hello to peace and quiet. It’s a chance to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with what truly matters.

While you won’t find WiFi in some of these woodland wonders, there are lots of outlets. Therefore, you can still charge up your gadgetsto capture some magical moments or indulge in a late-night Netflix binge (I won’t tell).

Are the Postcard Cabins Shenandoah Houses Safe?

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: safety. When you’re nestled in the heart of nature, it’s natural to wonder about your well-being. Rest assured, the Postcard Shenandoah cabins take safety seriously. They have secure locks and emergency protocols in place. Shenandoah is full of wildlife, such as deer, bobcats, black bears, and more, but we didn’t see any on our trip. But always make sure you check the news on recent sitings.

How Long Should I Stay in the Cabins?

I recommend staying at least 2 days in the cabins but 3-4 days is the sweet spot. This gives you enough time to explore local restaurants, go hiking, and completely detach from society.

Until next time, happy trails! If you’ve been please share your experience below!
