Charming 1800s Farmhouse on 47 Acres — Riverfront w/Views, Hot Tub, Pet-Friendly

Escape to the peace and quiet of the Shenandoah Valley at this beautifully preserved 1800s farmhouse, tucked away on over 47 acres at the end of a quiet, dead-end road. With stunning views of rolling fields and the Shenandoah River, this is the perfect country retreat — for you and your pups!
Step back in time with original hardwood floors, exposed stone fireplaces, and all the historic details that make this home one of a kind. Spacious and welcoming, this farmhouse offers all the charm of a simpler era, while giving you plenty of room to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature.
Start your mornings and end your evenings on the screened-in porch, soaking in peaceful views of the open 10+ acre field that stretches down to the river. And for the ultimate relaxation? Slip into the private hot tub under the stars — the perfect way to unwind after a day of hiking, fishing, or exploring the area.
And for your four-legged friends? They'll love this special retreat! With plenty of space to run, play, and explore, dogs with good recall can enjoy countless hours of freedom — no city traffic or tight spaces here, just wide open fields and fresh mountain air.
Though you’ll feel miles away from it all, you’re only 15 minutes from downtown Luray, where you can explore charming shops, restaurants, and the famous Luray Caverns. The best part? You get to return to the quiet and calm of your own private escape.

This is a gem. Idyllic, breathtaking scenery..about as close to Mother Nature as you can possibly get while in a house versus back country camping. All we heard the entire stay was insects, birds, deer foraging and an occasional prop plane. I am so refreshed. I already rebooked!

An ideal location for anyone looking to get away for a few days with the fam! Hot tub, fire, river, wildlife, seclusion, and more river! We're a nostalgic fam so we couldn't help but feel in awe of the place. Keep in mind cleaning up is requested and we were thankful we did everything the night before, it is a big place but all supplies are onsite. And pet friendly is always a plus!

This was our fourth stay (Mar. '24, Jul. '24, Mar. '25, Sept. '25) at 'The Farmhouse' we always enjoy the time to unwind, relax and take in the clean country air. Enjoyed time down at the river, around the camp fire and, of course, the hot tub. Got a relaxing walk in on the Hawksbill Greenway Trail in old town, and lunch at A Taste of Home. Two trips to Castle Vineyard capped off a great relaxing, long holiday weekend.Looking forward to possibly a winter stay in a few months.

Not for everyone

The check in process was fine and all check in details were accurate. The house was clean. Stuffy and warm but that's what you get with an old house. I felt the description was misleading. I thought we would be able to see the river from the front porch, since it is labeled as a "River Front Property". You have to walk a while and through a tree line to get to it. There were several boarded off areas. There was mold around the base of the hot tub. There were windows that did not lock shut. A front door that only locked by a hook and eye latch. No curtains or blinds on any window accept the bedrooms and bathrooms. We were excited to site by a campfire every night only to be told via a index card on the table when you walked in "No fires, too windy". Which it was not at that time. You are at the end of the road, completely secluded. If you are used to extremely rural areas or looking for a horror flick vibe this is the house for you. It was not for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience a cabin with none of the murder vibes at the Yogi the Bear camp ground up the street.

Beautiful rustic yet updated farmhouse. We were here for a family reunion in the area and didn't spend much time in the Farmhouse besides sleeping and enjoying morning coffee on the screened in porch with great views of the nearby mountains. The steps are a bit challenging for those with older knees lol. Overall absolutely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this as a peaceful getaway in a tranquil setting.
