My boyfriend and I had the most amazing time with our dog. The cabin is just 20 minutes from the town, we mostly stayed at the cabin though. If it had been warmer the temperatures it would have been more amazing to use the outdoor amenities. The trip was mostly for the dog, and he really loved. Took him quite a few attempts to go up and down the first set of stairs before he was able to do it with hesitation. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook. Host was helpful answering questions before we arrived.

It was a nice, quiet, cozy cabin. There are a few neighbors but they're far enough away to still have some privacy. We woke up every morning to a herd of deer and group of turkeys in the field across from the cabin. The nights are very quiet and dark, perfect for a marshmallow roast at the fire pit.

Everything was easy: check in, temperature control, cooking, resting, and finding activities. Too cold for canoeing unfortunately, but we loved the view of the river nonetheless! Great for mountain goer's of all experience levels.

Christmas cabin

This was our Christmas gift to each other and my husband and I (and our dog!) loved staying at this cozy cabin while doing some hiking at Shenandoah NP. There was even a Christmas tree! The cabin was clean, comfortable and charming. We enjoyed the gas fireplace and cooking dinners each night in the kitchen. Despite it being a little chilly we enjoyed the porch and the fire pit. Our dog loved being able to swim in the river right on the property! We would love to come back when the weather is warmer to enjoy the outdoor spaces more. Thank for a great stay!

Everything was clean, outdoor aesthetics were wonderful. Just a few flying insects inside but they were dealt with very quickly and did not return. If you're not an outdoorsy type of person do not rent this property it is very secluded. But it's a wonderful place if you want to be secluded. My family and I had a great time. Oh yeah I think you have to use the method fly fish on the river... The river's moving too fast for regular fishing.

Spring Break Enjoyment

The owner, Derek, was able to manage our needs while helping with a nearby fire on the mountain. We were impressed at the level of dedication shown as we felt like he was very accomodating to our needs. We'd recommend this place for anyone that wants a quiet get-away.

Beautiful location and quiet get away

Derek is an amazing property manager, quick to respond and goes out of his way to ensure you are comfortable. We couldn't figure out how to relight a pilot light on the fireplace, he asked if he could swing by and then he was there in 5 minutes. Incredibly nice! The cabin is well maintained and well equipped with everything we needed, just had to purchase our food for our stay. Easy to find cabin, roads are in great shape and as we drove into the private neighborhood to get to the cabin, deer were everywhere. In fact, in front of the cabin were 8 deer's, feeding and just walking around. They had no fear of us. Loved seeing them, added to the whole atmosphere. The cabin does have a bit of steep stairs to get from the lower level to the main, for those with mobility issues, it may be a concern. Otherwise, book this cabin with confidence that it is represented accurately from the listing. Also, we had no issue with phone reception (AT&T users).

The perfect spot

We stayed here as a family of 6, with ages ranging from 30 - 70 years old. The cabin was perfect for our needs, so much so that we decided to stay another night. The cabin is only a short drive to Luray , but is sufficiently isolated to make you feel a million miles away. There is no noise pollution - well apart from the blue jays, cicada and flowing river. The cabin is well stocked with cooking and cleaning equipment. The rooms are clean and tidy. The free to use canoes were of a good quality and there were plenty of paddles and life vests in the shed. Other reviewers have complained about the steep driveway. Yes, there is a path and steps to reach the front door, but it was nothing that shouldn't be expected when staying in a log cabin in the mountains. If your mobility is poor, this cabin probably isn't for you. My mother, in her 70s with the normal aches and pains of someone that age, managed perfectly well. Communications with Derek were prompt and professional. We would definitely consider staying here again. It was perfect for us.

Perfect Family Getaway

The property was perfect for the needs of our family of 5. We brought kayaks and dropped them in right from the property. There were canoes available. The driveway is at the bottom of a steep hill which I think should be more clear in the pictures/description (or maybe I missed it). It wasnt an issue for us, but may be an issue for others. Derek was quick to respond any time I had questions. The bathrooms are clean, but should be updated to make them feel more clean. Newer appliances in the kitchen and everything you need to cook/grill. Definitely recommend! Super quiet and came home feeling relaxed. A lot of great fishing right from the property
