Host communication was top-notch! The cabin was very comfy and cozy. The hot tub was in excellent working order and we took time to enjoy that each day of our stay. The kitchen was well-appointed and the gas fireplace provided warmth and charm. We enjoyed a roaring fire in the large, open fire pit each night of our stay, too. There was an ample firewood supply, and the wagon made it easy to haul to the fire pit. We were lucky to have two beautiful clear nights to look at the sky while the fire kept us warm.The gas grill on the deck was also in great working order and we used that to prepare our steaks one night.The king bed was very comfortable and the pillows worked just right. All in all, this was a really wonderful weekend get-away destination and we hope to return again.

The cabin very cozy, and the owners spent a great deal of time and effort to not only provide all the information we needed about how to operate the various appliances and entertainment, but they also made the cabin comfortable and welcoming. Also, the hot tub was well-maintained and was a very nice addition to our experience. The cabin and the nice walk to the river made our time there very enjoyable.

This cabin is absolutely beautiful, cozy, and rustic, but with ALL the modern conveniences and additions you could ever want! It is sparkling clean, beautifully appointed, and has a full kitchen, warm electric fireplace, big jacuzzi tub in the Master, a screen porch AND open deck, a great hot tub, and gorgeous river front property just a lovely 3 minute walk away. We wanted a quiet, pet-friendly escape for our holiday, and this was the perfect place. I highly recommend Bear Timbers and would love to return!
Peaceful, cozy, beautiful—inside and out.
Gorgeous riverfront views.
Lots of space to roam, picnic, etc.
The pups loved it too!

Great location for accessing the Park. Lovely walk down to the river. Cabin is well equipped with kitchen supplies for cooking and eating in. The bed in the primary is comfortable. Didn’t use the hot tub or the jacuzzi bath. Appreciated the bidet attachment in the primary bath.

Great Place for a Family Getaway

This was a great cabin home in a great area of VA. The home was the perfect size for a small family with all of the amenities you would want. The host was very responsive and accommodating during our stay. Luray is a short 15-20 minutes away with lots of great activites and things to see. Couldnt ask for more.

Great River Adventures

This house lives up to its billing. While it isn’t isolated within its own community, it is far enough off the beaten path you’ll feel like you’ve gotten away, but not so far that you can’t easily get whatever you need after a short drive. Having river access is awesome; all we had to do was drive up to our drop in poly and kayak the ten river miles back to the house. The next day, we drove the car to our take out point and did another ten miles by dropping in right there. The hosts are on top of anything you might need. The river is a little bit of a trek but all that did for us was make us feel more attuned to the outdoors! Our dog loved being able to walk and sniff to her hearts content on the property and also enjoyed stretching her legs at the massive local dog park in Front Royal. We will absolutely be back again.

Spring Break Getaway!

The property was clean and so well stocked - the kitchen has spices and was even stocked with a hand mixer. The owners live nearby and we're available as a resource for ideas. They were also super responsive to any questions we had.It's a must stay!The road in was a little dusty, and the river had quite a bit of gnats. Bring big spray and a good hat!Otherwise, gorgeous property!
