Great river get away

The cabin was great! The view of the river was outstanding and so was the fire pit. It was an easy hour to Shenandoah national Park, which is what we were visiting mostly. Also, Luray is lovely.

Beautiful!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was super clean and well stocked. The beds were really comfortable. The owner was responsive and helpful. The river is absolutely beautiful!! We used the kayaks and canoes each day and enjoyed the large firepit. We also loved the screened back porch which makes you feel like you are in a treehouse. Thanks for a great weekend!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

My friends and I had a fantastic weekend at this charming waterfront property. The screened-in porch was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful view, which quickly became one of our favorite parts of the stay. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the tools we needed to cook and enjoy meals together. Cesar was incredibly responsive and kind—he promptly answered any questions we had and even had an extra bag of charcoal delivered, which was a thoughtful touch. We truly appreciated the hospitality and would love to return!

Weekend at the river

House was clean and comfortable. , basic amenities. Nice distance away from city for quietness. Was disappointed with fire pit by river, was looking for to using but all the cars were complete rot. Would have broken if you tried to sit on so we didn’t even go down there.

Fantastic get away

Overall this location was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The only downside was construction happening at the properties to the left and right that sort of made for a less peaceful weekend escape from the city. No control over that and we still made the absolute best of it. The river access was fun for the kids and we all loved being able to hang as a family by the fire pit at night. 10/10 would recommend And book again!!😊

Can't Wait To Go Back

Loved this property. My girls and son-in-law and I love to kayak and fish. The property location is perfect. Close enough to Luray to grab all your food and essentials but far enough to enjoy seclusion and privacy. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The fire pit was perfect and the river and fishing was excellent. There is easy access to the river. We had so much fun and the property owner communicated well and we felt comfortable with all the directions and information. We have no complaints. You won't be disappointed! Can't wait to go back.

Lovely getaway

We had a wonderful time in this riverside house. As stated, there are a lot of stairs but the trade off is a spectacular view. We took advantage of the canoes, kayaks, and firepit and grilled out for dinner. We drove in to Shenandoah for a day of hiking and spent tbe rest of the time relaxing. We were able to see bunnies, deer, and tons of fireflies. Only negative would be the sleeper couch is not the most comfy but the kids didn't care one bit. Thank you for sharing your home!

Magical location

Our 5-day stay on the banks of the river celebrated a family milestone in comfort and beauty. The cottage was spacious with multiple dining areas (2) and gathering areas (4) both inside and outside. All the appliances served us well, and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated the quiet neighbors and no outboard motors on the river. Having kayaks and canoes on the property (no need to rent) was a real highlight. Two unfavorable aspects: the cottage could have used a beginning-of-the-season deeper cleaning (porch walls showed spray marks that would have been easy to remove; debris around windows and doors); and small maintenance tasks are needed (flooring split, screen door malfunction, blinds in small bedroom). In other words, just a few hours of work would have yielded a 5-star review!

Scenic spot on the river

The views from the property are amazing. The location on the river for fishing and kayaking was convenient. Very responsive owner when issues arose, he brought new grill and coffeemaker during our stay. The house is a 20 minute drive from Luray. While the inside was clean the outside is in need of some TLC, especially the porch screens.

Clean, well equipped home.

Everything was lovely. Cabin clean and well supplied. Many nice outdoor features; canoes, kyaks, bags game, large fire pit with ample firewood, wagon to transport firewood. Listing is a bit misleading indicating there is a hot tub. There is no hot tub, only bath tub in bathroom. Other than that everything is terrific!

What a Relaxing and peaceful home!

We had our annual girls trip of mostly 50+ fun loving ladies here the first week of September 2023. The home was clean, had all the amenities we needed and the views were spectacular! The owner was hands down the best I've dealt with yet on quick communication and even stopped by at one point to address a previous concern. Enjoyed talking with him. As previously said, the views are spectacular and although we didn't get in the water, we so enjoyed lazy breakfasts on the screened in porch while watching others fish, paddle or tube in it. We did have some issues with the unusual locks to the outside porches and one of the door handle pieces kept falling off but he assured us that was on the to do list for renovations. Some minor scratches on the walls were also on his list. There were some cobwebs here and there on the porch but that's most likely from the many mature trees shading the property and providing an inviting home. I deal with the same on a daily basis on my shaded porch. FYI, double check GPS directions before starting off on exploring the area. We had a couple instances of Ggle maps taking us on some treacherous back roads instead of easier paths that affected some of our group with vertigo and height issues. Would 100% stay again in the future! Thanks again for some wonderful memories!

Get away from it all!

What a wonderful time we had! The house was super clean at check in, great set-up, lots of items to use, such as cookware, towels, games, just everything! The canoes were fun, fishing was nice and quiet, fire pit was cozy, and the beds are super comfortable! The stairs going up and down are a key point, pack smaller, lighter bags to make it easier, my in-laws just took it nice and slow. Close to Luray and Skyland resort. Would definitely rent again!
