A beautiful treasure along the river. Disappointed I didn't get to sit down there because it was Arctic Cold. The house is beautiful and fully updated. I loved the floorplan and gives you the ability to host a full family or just stay to the first floor. I will be back.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house on the river. We and our family spent time at the fire pit by the river, on the expansive front porch, and around the dining table. It was a great place to gather, and a fine starting point for attending events and touring. Access to the house was easy, and everything was very well set up.

Fantastic property—immaculately clean and thoughtfully equipped with all the right amenities. The five spacious bedrooms were perfect for our group. The kitchen was modern, well-stocked, and a pleasure to cook in. Communication with the property manager was seamless—quick, clear, and helpful throughout our stay. The location is ideal for cycling enthusiasts, with easy access to scenic routes around Harrisonburg and the George Washington National Forest.

Christmas at the river mill house

We had a wonderful family Christmas there. The house is very clean with comfortable beds and beautifully decorated. Plenty of room for the 7 of us to sit together whether we were eating, cooking or lounging. Loved the tranquility and the view out the kitchen window.

3 couples visiting JMU for Homecoming weekend. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare our tailgate dishes. The beds were comfortable and the house beautifully decorated. We had a great time, morning and night, sitting by the firepit down by the river! Thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful home!

Great for friend groups

We were in town for a wedding and wanted a place where multiple couples could stay. We loved the house. It is beautifully decorated and had plenty of space. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds and linens were comfortable and towels were provided. The views of the river were beautiful and there was wood for the fire pit. One of our friends even did yoga down by the river. The hosts were incredibly responsive. Highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful, comfortable, and easy!

We had a wonderful stay at this house. We're two families with kids, and there was enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Both husbands participated in a race in Natural Chimneys National Park, and the location was so convenient! The kitchen was perfectly appointed (sharp knives!) and the kids loved the yard. On our last night we spent a really lovely evening around the fire pit. Very highly recommended!

Relaxing

If you are looking for a quiet place to sit on a porch and watch the birds fly by this is the perfect place. The home is beautiful and welcoming. Good luck trying to pick a bedroom you want to sleep in, they are all perfectly charming. The porch gets the late morning sun, and you can just sit and sip your coffee. The woodpecker I named Red will keep you amused with his rhythmic pecking, and I have never seen so many squirrels running up and down the trees having a great time. The owners make you feel at home with coffee tea snacks games throw blankets and then for you as well all the essentials for the perfect smore for the campfire. There are no issues if you would like to have Door Dash or Instacart sent to the home for convenance. We used both options and we had fast and perfect delivery. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your home, and I am looking forward to going back. Maureen
