The host was great. He responded quickly to all of our questions. He even had batteries delivered the first night we were there for a ceiling fan!The river view is amazing and the grandkids really enjoyed roasting marshmallows in the fire pit! The reason for the 4 star review is there could be better lighting in the cabin and most of the furniture was uncomfortable. All in all it was a good place to stay.

The location is amazing and access to kayaks and canoes made our stay memorable. We also very much enjoyed the game of corn holes. The kitchen is also very well equipped, with lots of pots and pans to cook. The only downside was the very limited number of bath towels. The place is also very close to the Luray caverns, worth the trip, and reasonably close to one of the entrances to Shenandoah National Park.

This stay was great! Beautiful views, lots of room, and a great screen in porch! The house is much prettier in person than the pictures! WiFi was great at the house as well. However, tons of gnats at the waterfront so come prepared. I would also recommend bringing extra spices, oil, foil/ parchment paper/ plastic wrap if wanted, bed linens (if you plan to use the pull out couch or futon), and extra towels/ toilet paper/ paper towels. Also to note town/supplies about 20-25 mins away from house on a windy road.

Fantastic spring getaway with our family. We chose it for the waterfront view and it did not disappoint. Gorgeous property with amazing river views. Loved the kayaks and canoes and easy water access. House was just right with super comfy beds and was very clean. The property owner gave great instructions and clear communication as well.
Gorgeous river views

This home has a wonderful backyard overlooking the Shenandoah River! Very peaceful, perfect for a getaway from the rat race. I must warn you about the stairs though. There are over 20 steps jus to get to the front door. I don’t understand why the home was built exceptionally high…..

This is a charming cabin with incredible views and access to the river. The house is located about 10 minutes outside of town, along a scenic back road that runs along the river. House was clean and cozy, with plenty of room for my family of 4. Beds were large and comfortable. We had a few minor issues that caused a bit of inconvenience (washing machine didn't work and door handle for sliding glass door was broken). But we enjoyed our stay!

Great river get away

The cabin was great! The view of the river was outstanding and so was the fire pit. It was an easy hour to Shenandoah national Park, which is what we were visiting mostly. Also, Luray is lovely.

The indoor property was nice. I wish that it had more lighting, a better front door, a gate on the deck. The four season room could use a good mopping and the outdoor cushions needed to be cleaned. The house had the normal wear and tear of a rental. Holes in the owner suite comforter , chipped paint in the bathroom and the walls could use a good wipe. All of the essentials were included. The yard was a mess, I don't know if there was storm prior to our stay but there were down branches, the grass was tall and not cut until the night before we left. There was dog feces, old fishing line and bait in the yard. Under the deck could use some care. It appeared as if it wasn't cleaned after the last stay. We definitely left the yard in better shape than how we found it. We took the time to organize the kayaks and canoes for the next guest. When we found the kayaks and canoes, they were in the grass with lots of water and debris in them. The best part of our trip was the river. We brought our own tubes and life vest. The owner had fishing rods but they are not kid friendly. We most enjoyed catching crawfish and birdwatching. The water isn't deep so it's good for children to play.
