About this property

Riverfront - Happy Peach on the Shenandoah

Come relax and enjoy at The Happy Peach! Nestled at the base of the Massanutten Mountains on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River (100 feet of frontage), this cozy house is the perfect base for adventures or a restful getaway. Fishing, hiking, rafting, antique shopping, wine tasting, exploring caverns or visiting historic sites are just some of the possibilities. Our 2-bedroom house is an ideal getaway for a small group or family and is only 90 miles from DC and 15 miles away from the North entrance of Shenandoah National Park.

The house is on a wooded lot near the end of a quiet road. A large screened porch faces the river and is great for dining, board games or simply relaxing and listening to the sounds of nature. The porch has lighting as well as ceiling fans to keep things cool. There is additional outdoor seating on the deck and a fire pit just down the back steps. The area is home to abundant wildlife and small creatures including deer, river otter, ground hogs, a variety of birds, bear as well as many insects and reptiles so prepare to convene with nature!

For entertainment, there's a variety of options: books, puzzles, games, movies (DVD) and music.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, dishes and utensils as well as some basic spices.
Bedroom linens and bathroom towels are provided for each guest.
Air conditioning is available and most rooms have a ceiling fan for additional / alternate cooling.

The peaceful and friendly town of Strasburg is just 10 minutes away and offers a number of delicious dining options including a variety of restaurants, a bakery, ice cream shop and a couple of breweries. Take a tour of the town and enjoy all the murals painted by professional artists. At just 15 miles away, Front Royal is your gateway to Shenandoah National Park and the famous Skyline Drive … explore the visitors center, get out for a hike or jump into a rafting adventure! There are wineries, caverns, a covered bridge, museums, battlefields and many quaint towns in the Shenandoah Valley beckoning to you … try not to fall in love!

Relaxing weekend at the happy peach

We had a great time at this property! Nice and quiet, secluded enough to feel disconnected to the world but close enough to Town to get almost anything you needed. We enjoyed the river and the firepir here, and the wildlife that paid us visits.

Little Oasis

The Happy Peach is perfect for a getaway. It’s spacious and warmly decorated, welcoming everyone to spread out and relax. The view of the river and the feeling of seclusion yet just 10 minutes outside of town is unmatched. We enjoyed a day downtown visiting the brewery and antique shops, of which there are plenty. We also enjoyed a day watching the snow fall and cooking, reading, and just relaxing. It’s a perfect location and perfect place to find a little peace and time to connect with your partner/yourself/nature.

River Recharge

We booked the Happy Peach for a relaxing weekend getaway for our family of 4. We had a rainy few days, but enjoyed every minute of our stay. The property is amazing and Callie was a wonderful host. A great spot to stay put and unwind, but also a short drive to hiking, dining, and shopping.
