We had a great stay over the weekend! The house was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped for our group. We especially loved the basement play area and extra sleeping space, which was a pleasant surprise. The host was responsive and addressed our concerns promptly. Overall, a wonderful property, and we would happily stay here again.

Super cute property with a gorgeous view down to the river. We came for a week to get out of the city and spent time exploring the surrounding area. It's half an hour from Front Royal and Winchester and there are lots of other small towns within that distance too. We did a short hike in Woodstock and visited Muse Winery there too, both great adventures. We took advantage of the fire pit and had a lovely evening making smores. Would absolutely recommend.

Relaxing stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at River Rock Retreat and surrounding area. Weather too warm for hot tub and a fire, but we loved sitting above the river and watching the river flow. Mesmerizing! Did some hiking by driving to nearby trails/parks. Sunny all three days. Made for some great sunsets. Our stay felt like home away from home…without the cat hair!

Beautiful Cabin on the River

The cabin was perfect for my family of 4! The cabin was clean and decorated so nicely! We loved the nature theme! The hosts were so thoughtful with the items available to us like dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. The basement floor is finished but empty- I can’t wait to see what they do with that space. Bonus- we saw the northern light from Skyline drive and from the cabin on our 2nd night there!

Great Time On The River

We had a fantastic time at River Rock Retreat. Check-in was a breeze. The place was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was great for making meals. Grilled outside as well. Hot tub was excellent and also made smores on the firepit. The location was excellent. Close to town but still felt remote. Nicole was a wonderful host. Very responsive to any needs. I highly recommend this rental.

Awesome!!

We're a couple in our late 70's that were looking for a quiet retreat. This could not have been more perfect. The layout and features of the house were beautiful. Morning coffee on the deck listening to the bird's symphony and an evening glass of wine around the fire pit to the sound of the bullfrog croaking all while watching and listening to the ripple of the north fork. Most pleasant.

Away from it all but yet close to town

Weather was bad and couldn’t enjoy the deck view of river or make S’mores at the fire pit, but place was GREAT with cozy gas fireplace and lots of comforting touches. So QUIET and peaceful, nicely decorated and any place that has a magnifying mirror in the bathroom gets extra points with me! 👍 I had to go to appointments in Strasburg and Woodstock but it was really easy to get to the towns. I liked that there was a water filter pitcher.
