Virginias Country Houses

A world of subterranean wonders, a milestone in geological discoveries, Luray caverns, is a wonderful weekend getaway for those who are living near DC or Virginia. It is around 2 hours (or more) drive from washington DC.
This is a picture of the "Dream Lake", a spring of water which has a mirror-like appearance. Stalactites are reflected in the water making them appear to be stalagmites. This gives an illusion that the lake is deeper. The lake is connected to a spring that continues deeper into the caverns.
All in all, it was my first time exploring caverns. It was a fun filled day, learning the stories of the cavern.

Tips:
1) It is very crowded on weekends and holidays. If you want to enjoy peaceful, slow paced, less crowded tour of the caverns, go on weekdays.
2) If you visit the caverns, look for these things-
Saracen's tent - scarves and shawls of translucent calcite, falling in graceful folds, fringed with a thousand patterns, and so thin that a candle light can reveal the structure within!
The fried eggs formation - yes, it looks like fried eggs ;)
The Great Stalacpipe Organ - An actual organ which plays music- sounds of Stalactites! DO NOT miss this one!

Top Virginias Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Richmond

10/10 Excellent

"Cannot possibly say enough great things about the staff at this property. Main desk - amazing. Valet team - killed it. Everyone was so kind, and incredibly helpful. We were traveling with our dogs, who were also treated like royalty. Also - the rooms SMELL AMAZING. To the point, that I'd love to know what they use. Great, central Richmond location. Will definitely be back! "

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Virginia Beach (Oceanfront)

10/10 Excellent

"The location is perfect to enjoy the Virginia Beach. Very easy to get to, free parking for guests. The room was very spacious and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The best part was how nice a quiet the rooms are, we could not hear the church bells tolling from inside our room. Loved it and what a view of the ocean!"
