The River House
About this space
Come unplug at this adorable, spacious cabin on the bank of the
Shenandoah river. Enjoy peaceful dinners amongst the trees on a two tiered deck. Fall asleep to the rhythmic sounds of nature waking to coffee in sunroom.
If you prefer social nightlife, you’re just 10 minutes from the casino, bars and restaurants
The space
This cozy yet spacious cabin has two bedrooms (one queen and one double) with two full baths. One full bath has access from the queen bedroom. There is a trundle bed that opens to two single beds in the day room that over looks the river.
In addition to a full kitchen, dining area and living room, this cabin boasts a sunroom, a day room and a two level deck.
Though this cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood on the river, you’re only ten minutes to the casino, bars and restaurants.
Guest access
The entire cabin including a two level deck, yard around home and direct river access.
Other things to note
This quiet cabin sits on the bank of the river, for easy access to swim, lounge or fish.
I live on adjacent lot to answer questions to help with any concerns.

The house was easy to find, had everything we needed, quiet, rustic and perfect for our stay. Comfortable, clean and pet friendly. Veiws are picturesque to say the least. Food recommendations: Angelos Mediterranean, white horse tavern and charles town family diner.Outdoor activities: Harpers ferry village, maryland heights (harder), weverton cliff (maderate and amazing overlook view. Runners: the loop from avon bend dr to king lear dr and gerneral rodgers back to avon bend rd (house address is 2.5 to 3.7 miles and hilly but a overall enjoyable run. Cant wait to come back and stay in the spring.

The home was clean and lovely. Right on the Shenandoah River! Unfortunately most of our time was spent either working (The wifi was most excellent!) or traveling between families homes, so we did not have a lot of time to just enjoy the house. I was able to get on the river a few times, and the kayaks provided were in good condition. We loved it so much we’re coming back in the spring!

Check in was easy, the property is clean and quiet AND the property is amazing. If you are looking for some time away that is right on the river, minutes away from Harper's Ferry, wineries and breweries... This is the place for you!
