Great location for accessing the Park. Lovely walk down to the river. Cabin is well equipped with kitchen supplies for cooking and eating in. The bed in the primary is comfortable. Didn’t use the hot tub or the jacuzzi bath. Appreciated the bidet attachment in the primary bath.

Spring Break Getaway!

The property was clean and so well stocked - the kitchen has spices and was even stocked with a hand mixer. The owners live nearby and we're available as a resource for ideas. They were also super responsive to any questions we had.It's a must stay!The road in was a little dusty, and the river had quite a bit of gnats. Bring big spray and a good hat!Otherwise, gorgeous property!

Beautiful cabin with everything that you need

We stayed at the cabin while visiting Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns. Billy was an amazing host who proactively communicated with us throughout our stay. We were impressed with the cabin and its cleanliness. Simple things like the variety of board games, first aid kit, bidet, and prime video streaming made it real like a home away from home. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a place to stay in the mountains.

Anniversary Trip

Very clean home and all the things you need that you don't want to bring was available and in good working order. Some Pluses to this home is the hot-tub and the river in the back of the property. Only downside was that the river was a good 5 min walk in somewhat high grass and the neighborhood dogs barking all the time. We had a great time and the owners were very nice and accommodating!

Bear Timbers

The cabin is beautiful inside. The back porch and deck are lovely. The access to the river was the only issue for me. The river is many yards from the cabin, but, that is ok. My problem was that actually getting in the river at the site with a canoe or kayak and getting back out, are difficult. The bank drops down a bit with no smooth, available way to get in other than to drop the canoe or kayak in and then jump in after it, hoping it won't get taken by the current in the interim. Getting back out requires lifting the canoe or kayak back onto the bank while in the river and then climbing up out after it. If the access could be graded somehow with rocks used to make a little launch site, that would be great. Then, I would want to come back. Thanks!

Great Place for a Family Getaway

This was a great cabin home in a great area of VA. The home was the perfect size for a small family with all of the amenities you would want. The host was very responsive and accommodating during our stay. Luray is a short 15-20 minutes away with lots of great activites and things to see. Couldnt ask for more.
