This is a great pet friendly rental in a peaceful riverside setting. We loved laying in bed and listening to the river, sitting outside and watching the bumble bees and butterflies flying around. The scenery is beautiful and there is easy access to hiking. Would absolutely recommend staying here.

The Home had everything we needed and was in a lovely setting. The kitchen was well stocked for use and even provided my morning coffee, which was greatly appreciated. It enabled us to bring our dogs with us when visiting our family nearby. The set up is very family friendly with games, books, and space needed for all ages. Hope to come back when the weather is warm to enjoy some fishing and walks along the river

This property is a very pet friendly cottage in the woods by a stream. It was a very relaxing week away. Dana was very accommodating and a good communicator. We took advantage of all the things to do in the area, Shenandoah National Park, Shenandoah River State Park and Luray Caverns. We even took walks along the stream. We loved it!
