Great river get away

The cabin was great! The view of the river was outstanding and so was the fire pit. It was an easy hour to Shenandoah national Park, which is what we were visiting mostly. Also, Luray is lovely.

Beautiful!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was super clean and well stocked. The beds were really comfortable. The owner was responsive and helpful. The river is absolutely beautiful!! We used the kayaks and canoes each day and enjoyed the large firepit. We also loved the screened back porch which makes you feel like you are in a treehouse. Thanks for a great weekend!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

My friends and I had a fantastic weekend at this charming waterfront property. The screened-in porch was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful view, which quickly became one of our favorite parts of the stay. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the tools we needed to cook and enjoy meals together. Cesar was incredibly responsive and kind—he promptly answered any questions we had and even had an extra bag of charcoal delivered, which was a thoughtful touch. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would love to return!

Long weekend to unwind

We had an amazing stay here. My husband, our three kids (7,6,3) and my parents were able to come for a long weekend. We enjoyed spending time on the water, sitting by the campfire and even got some hiking in! Would totally come again. The house had everything we needed!

What a great get-away location

We, for the first time was able to see why they are called the Blue Ridge Mountains! Such a perfect location for the view, serene environment and all along the flowing river. The house is really upkept and you can tell a lot of work has been put into making it a modern, but yet, out-doorish feel. Thanks to everyone for such an amazing get away for the family!!

Fantastic get away

Overall this location was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The only downside was construction happening at the properties to the left and right that sort of made for a less peaceful weekend escape from the city. No control over that and we still made the absolute best of it. The river access was fun for the kids and we all loved being able to hang as a family by the fire pit at night. 10/10 would recommend And book again!!😊

The property is on a beautiful setting next to the Shenandoah River. It is a commitment to driving 15-20 minutes to groceries etc. A very casual home, beds were comfortable and the screen porch was nice.
