This river house was a great find. The house is clean and has plenty of space. The access to the river is fantastic and was enjoyed by everyone. We brought own tubes and were able to float from the bridge to the cabin. Perfect spot for a mini-getaway.

Thank you for the great review. I'm glad Riverbend Retreat worked well for your mini-getaway — happy to hear the house was clean, had plenty of space, and that everyone enjoyed the river access. Floating from the bridge to the cabin sounds perfect. I hope you'll stay with us again.

This cabin is excellent for a group. There are 3 bedrooms plus a basement with bunk beds for 4 additional people. If your goal is to be on the river then this cabin is perfectly located.We floated from the bridge right to the property in about 2 hours. It was lovely.It is worth noting that there are houses pretty close by so expect to somewhat share the yard and riverfront space.

Thank you for taking the time to review Riverbend Retreat. I’m glad the layout worked well for your group and that the river access made for an enjoyable float from the bridge. I appreciate you noting that nearby houses are close — we do mention that in the listing, but I’ll review the wording to make that clearer for future guests. Thanks again for the thoughtful four-star review — I hope we can welcome you back.

Great cabin on the river

We loved the remote location. It was a few hours into DC but still doable for a day trip. The hosts were readily available when there was a flash flood in a neighboring town. Well stocked cabin with lots of river equipment.

Beautiful Location & Home

Our family of 7 had a great 4 night stay here. The location is so nice with mountain views. The river was great, my husband caught his 1st fish fly-fishing. The house is set up nicely and comfortably. Plenty of beds & 3 bathrooms. Would definitely recommend.

Nice older cabin on North Shenandoah River. Good response from host when we found a few issues. Fairly good fishing in one spot. Nice property. Recommended for folks with dogs. They have room to run and the river is mostly shallow for them to play in the water. Has everything you need to relax and enjoy being by the river.

Shenandoah Dream

Utterly amazing experience. #1 it was very clean #2 fully stocked with every necessity # 3 the most responsive hosts ever. As promised it was barrier free and made the wheelchair bound guest relax and enjoy being on the river. You can book this property with complete peace-of-mind. Highest recommendation.

Amazing house on the Shenandoah River

We were delayed one day due to the river flooding the low water bridge into the neighborhood but the hosts were great about giving info and keeping us updated throughout. Once we were able to access the property the wait for well worth it, Wow, what a cool house right on the river! There were no amenities that weren't at the house, the Shaffer's are a great host and have a beautiful house in a picturesque location. We cannot thank you enough for a great stay, despite mother nature not playing along! Definitely recommend this house if you're looking for great hosts and a great place to stay.

Great Cabin

This is a beautiful cabin. It is well stocked with everything you need to have a stress free stay. It is very clean. We loved our time. We took our fur babies, which is wonderful that this host allows. The back porch is opened, but is gated in at the bottom so our dogs could enjoy the outside and not have to be leashed. My husband enjoyed fishing, had to walk the river to find good fishing holes, and caught a nice one. I could go on and on, you just have try this cabin.

The perfect riverside getaway

This cabin was perfect for our family to escape the DC area for a weekend. All we had to bring was clothes and food - everything else was provided for. The house is huge and has so many things to do for kids including fooseball, airhocky, tubing, a huge yard leading down to the river, and beautiful fire pit. We had the best time and would definitely come back again. One tip - cell phone service is not very reliable, so be sure to screenshot the doorcode before getting there! The owner Julie is super responsive and accomodating - she even found us a babysitter in the area!!

Weekend getaway

Had weekend getaway with group of friends & family. Has plenty of space and beds for everyone. Outside area was large and plenty of space to play outside. Everything was fine, however we could not find towels until we looked around to the basement laundry room and it was in side the dryer. Fridge was filled with things from previous guests. Could not find trash bags.

Hello Steve, I'm sorry to hear about your issues, particularly the fridge not being cleaned out. I wish you had let me know during your stay. We were in a period of transition with the cleaning crew and have since found someone else. We did have trash bags there, and I could have pointed you in the right direction.

Amazing cabin! Amazing River!

Rambling older cabin (in a good way!!) that was just so much fun. comfortable, homey, with absolutely everything we needed-seriously this home included more amenities than any other VRBO we've stayed in. Ample towels, ample toilet paper, ample detergent... tubes, inflator, blankets, firewood.. just wonderful. We put in a grocery order at the walmart in Woodstock and picked it up on our way in. We didn't need to leave again. The owner is very caring and easy to communicate with, the neighborhood is lovely, the river is AMAZING. We travel with VRBO several times a year and this home is right at the top.

Nice setting. Needs a bit of updating.

The setting of this home has an attractive, spacious backyard down to the river, which is a great place for kids to play and families to gather. It is quiet and rural. Deer, bunnies and birds abound. The decor and furnishings inside seem tired and worn rather than quaint. Stained carpeting. Broken chairs on porches and fire pit area. We’ve stayed in a lot of VRBO homes. For the price, we were expecting something nicer.

Hi Becky, I'm sorry you were disappointed with the cabin. I know that the timing ended up not being great for your family, and the options we gave you to reschedule didn't work for you. A recent renter did break one chair by the fire pit, which we are in the process of replacing. The carpet is also scheduled to be replaced with alternate flooring but keeps getting delayed because of supply chain issues. We try to constantly make improvements, but it's not always fast enough for every renter. Our family stays at the cabin often, and we find it very quaint and comfortable.

The property of this cabin is absolutely beautiful. We loved the park like setting, huge grass covered back yard, and access to the crystal clear babbling waters of the North Fork Shenandoah. This is a superb location to kick back and relax. We enjoyed kayaking down the river from the low water bridge and wading in the water while fishing. Our dog enjoyed hanging out in the back yard and taking nice walks by the river and down the quiet road. We had bonfires in the firepit most nights and marveled at the star filled skies. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for prepping meals.The owners were very responsive to any questions. At one point I reached out to the owner because the split firewood was mostly gone. There were some whole logs but we could find and Axe/Maul to split it. The very next day not only was a maul delivered but a whole load of split firewood. Thank you!We have one family member that uses a power wheelchair. The accessibility is quite good with a ramp to the back entrance and ramps to both of the porches. The bathroom was however VERY tight trying to access with the power chair. I comment on this only so people are aware. It is accessible but not ADA compliant. The end of the ramp to the side door access has experienced a little washout from heavy rains but we had a short portable ramp with us to solve the transition. We figured it out but it's just something to be aware of.Overall, a great stay, lovely area, beautiful grounds!

Great spot to enjoy the outdoors. We tried our luck at fishing, cooked smores over the camp fire, splashed around in the river. Highly recommended. Anthony was very responsive to all communication. We'll look to come back again in the fall.
