On the Shenandoah River, Mountain Views... Come and Unplug!

Escape to The River House in the Shenandoah River Valley.

Unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature and loved ones at The River House, nestled in the heart of the Shenandoah River Valley.

Start your day with a cup of coffee while watching wildlife along the river. Listen to the soothing flow of water and the gentle rustling of leaves in the breeze. With the Massanutten Mountain range in the distance, you’ll be inspired to plan your next hike. The river is right at your feet—whether you want to relax and watch it flow by or jump in for a refreshing dip, it’s all yours to enjoy. Lounge on the porch, read a book, and breathe in the fresh, mountain air.

As evening falls, the firepit is ready to help you make memories—roast marshmallows and savor s’mores under the starry sky. The moon glistens on the river while the sound of locusts fills the air. Gather with friends and family around the fire to relax and share stories.

At The River House, we’ve thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible.

Come, make yourself at home, and let us share our little slice of riverfront paradise with you.

Located just two hours west of Washington, DC, in beautiful Luray, Virginia.

Revisiting for Relaxation

We stayed here last year and really enjoyed it, so we decided to come back. We love sitting on the deck and just listening to the birds and water. I think our dog also enjoyed being lazy and sleeping in his bed on the deck. Much needed break from normal every day life. Hope things will be drier and warmer next time so we can enjoy the water.

Wonderful Cottage right on the river!

Exceeded expectations! The cottage was so nice. You could throw a rock from the deck and it would land in the river. Serene and relaxing. Anne was a great host. We will be back for sure.

Birthday Fishing Celebration

The River House was the perfect choice for our birthday trip. Although the river was high and grounds a bit soggy from recent rains the weather was gorgeous for our hiking and fishing. We truly appreciated all the local info provided by the host, Very clean, well maintained, comfy beds.5

Beautiful and Relaxing!

My husband and I stayed here in May of 2024 to celebrate our anniversary, and this location did not disappoint. The house sits near one end of the road, so we didn't experience any traffic during our visit. We were able to relax in the peace and quiet while enjoying the beautiful views of the river. All the basic amenities were provided so we only needed to bring our food/spices, drinks, and personal belongings. We brought our own games with us, but there were plenty available to choose from. Our dog loved stretching his legs and chasing his ball in the big yard. There's also a shelf with books to read that visitors can trade their own books for (such a cool idea). The owner was very responsive and easy to reach. This is definitely a place we would like to revisit.

A Lovely Stay, with Caveats

My family has been vacationing in Luray since I was a child; we LOVE the area! We had a nice stay (loved the space, all of the board games, a beautiful view), but did have some issues. 1. The pictures in the listing showed a hammock. It sounds like such a silly thing, but we always stay in a rental with a hammock because it's my husband's favorite thing! We found out once we got to the rental that the hammock was damaged last year and never replaced, but the listing pictures were not updated. We should have asked in advance. 2. Temperature. Upon arrival, we learned that the house must be set at 71 degrees or warmer in the summer. Not a big deal, but it was set at 66 degrees when we arrived - make sure you check the thermostat upon arrival so that you don't get charged for an HVAC callout if the unit freezes! Also, while the living room was very comfortable, the bedrooms got considerably warmer during the night - you may want to leave the doors open. 3. Cleanliness/Safety: We noticed small cleanliness issues during our stay - cobwebs near the game table, an old contact lens on the living room floor, etc. We're not super picky about cleanliness, so this wasn't a bother. But, when we were packing up on our final day, we found a prescription pill under the bed my daughter slept in. My daughter is old enough that it wouldn't have been a dangerous situation for us, but I hate to think of what could have happened if a small child had found it! An unfortunate end to our stay.

Peaceful Retreat

Anne’s house was the perfect getaway for my family. We lived on the screened in porch and just loved sitting out there and watching the river go by. The kayaks and tubes gave us some fun water activities. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed and there was an expansive living room for our toddler to play in safely. I highly recommend and we’d like to return soon!

Beautiful place with plenty of room outside for spreading out. Fishing was good and listening to the rapids and betting if the next person will make it thru without getting stuck was quite entertaining. House was very well stocked, only need your clothes and food. Would definitely stay there again, right on the river!!

We're coming back!

We had a wonderful stay at the river house! We were between many similar properties and we chose this one based on all the great reviews and they did not lead us astray. It's a wonderfully spacious place, well stocked and just really tranquil. The owners also went above and beyond when there was a brief power outage, beyond having all the necessities available at the house in case of an outage they also gave us a refund, which was not necessary but very nice.

We’ll Be Back

Staying here was an absolute delight. The small thoughtful touches (like a bottle of ketchup in the fridge) were so appreciated. This particular section of river had everything our group needed. We had such a good time that a few family members are already suggesting that we skip the beach next year in favor of the river. Important: listen when Anne says to wait until the second turn! I foolishly listened to Google instead and phew, those potholes!
