River Woods Retreat:10min to River, L2 EV, Hikes, 2 Fireplaces, Hottub, SP 10mi

**NEW for 2026**
We shutdown for three and a half months to finish our basement (aka the Game Room). We have early photos of our basement posted as of March 22nd 2026. Pictures of the game room accurately reflect what is in the finished space today (TV, Wet Bar Area and Small Table for Board Games). We'll update the listing as we add more to the space. This will add a new bathroom and three small locked storage rooms. The property and house are still for your exclusive use during your stay.

*******IMPORTANT **VRBO PROVIDED DISTANCES ARE NOT ACCURATE **IMPORTANT*********************

These are the correct distances:

Shenandoah River 5 to 10 min walk or 3 minute drive (NOT a 1 minute walk)

Shenandoah River State Park Main Entrance 15 min drive (NOT a 1 minute walk)

It will typically take longer to get to points of interest than the times listed by VRBO. Times may vary based on your walking and driving speeds

We have no control over the distances and information listed in the "What's Near By" , "About the neighborhood" and "Explore the area". Please do not go by this if it's important to be near a listed point of interest. These are all AI generated based on our address and we cannot change the text in the descriptions or the arrival times for the points of interest.

[Disclaimer] "Explore the Area -> About the neighborhood section "this vacation home is in a rural area and on a river" is AI generated . We are the closest home in the neighborhood to the river (10 min walk) but we are not ON the river.

Don't hesitate to send us a quick note if you have questions on what's near the cabin. I have the VRBO app on my phone and I can always respond quickly.
*************************
There are two fire places. One fireplace is in the main living area and the other fire place is in the first floor master bedroom. The fireplace in the master bedroom is shared with the private master bathroom.

The master bedroom has a TV, fireplace and it's own private bathroom. The private bathroom shares the fireplace with the master, has dual sinks, a bath tub and a shower

The upstairs features a full bath, two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is 'also a bonus loft which has a futon overlooking the downstairs areas.

******EV Charger****

We have a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 (40 A) for EVs. It has the SAE J1772 (non-Tesla) connection.

*******Hot Tub*******
We have a new hot tub. It's a 460 gallon Jacuzzi Brand Hot Tub. It's 91 x 91 x 38 inches, waterfall, 4 Stage filtration system, Dedicated Circulation pump, UV-C ray filtration. Smart Hot Tub functionality which runs hourly diagnostics and reports them back to the Hot Tub Maintenance company. Most low end rental hot tubs will be 76 inches x 66 inches and 32 inches deep. They will not have a dedicated circulation pump, UV-C ray filtration and if you are lucky a single stage filtration system. We were told not to put a hot tub like this in a rental but this is also our vacation home and we wanted the best!
*************************

**********FAQ**********
Do we need a 4x4?
The roads are paved entirely except for our quarter mile driveway and the last half mile of state roads. My 2007 Ford Focus has no problem with these roads.

However, during a major snow storm (6 plus inches), AWD is helpful

Can I access the river through the HOA access point?
Yes, the HOA access point is about a five to ten minute walk from the cabin. Additionally, there is the Bentonville Boat Ramp three miles up river. You can float from the Bentonville Ramp to our access point. However, you would need to provide your own water equipment (tubes, kayaks, life jackets). Our access point isn't well marked so remember to tie a bandanna at the exit point so you know where to get off!


Can we have an early check-in/late check-out?
Early check-in possible if the night before is vacant; no late check-out (cleaners need five hours to clean the home).

What types of beds do you have?
We have one king bed, two queen beds and a futon. The futon is on the upstairs loft and doesn't have much privacy. Probably best for a young child.

What do we need to bring to cook?
We have a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils, cups, pots, plates, silverware, glasses and dishware.

Can we bring extra guests (beyond 6)?
Our limit is strictly set by the HoA, County and State. These entities also test us by asking us to increase our limit and see if we'll violate these rules.

Do I need to bring firewood?
Yes, you do need to bring your own firewood for the OUTDOOR fire pit. The fireplaces inside are gas and do not require firewood. Note that there are burn bans in Virginia from February 15th each year through April 30th. We ask that you respect those to protect our National Forest when they are in place(grill and fireplace use still permitted during burn bans).

Other things to note
- Internet: Starlink 50–100 Mbps

**PHONE**
AT&T gets an LTE connection here. Guests have reported that Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile also get a good connection. We also have a landline with free calling anywhere in the US.

**WATER**
The property uses both a well and a septic system. We enjoy drinking fresh water out of the well and we have a state of the art well filtration system that's serviced and tested by Culligan on a quarterly basis. Culligan if you haven't had it before tastes amazing!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Nestled in the serene mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, this beautiful cabin provided a peaceful retreat. Within a half-hour’s drive, we were able to explore the northern and central regions of the National Park. The owner was incredibly responsive to our questions and provided quick answers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this cabin for future stays.
