About this property

Riverfront Cabin, Hobby Farm, Kayaks & Campfires

Over 500 5-star reviews! Visit to our mountain oasis for a recharge! Acres of riverfront and gorgeous views, right from the porch! Use our water equipment and private river access in the spring, summer, or fall. Cozy up next to the authentic, stone, wood-burning fireplace in the winter. An easy drive to the Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, George Washington National Forest, Massanutten or Bryce Resorts for skiing, and much more. Fresh farm eggs and firewood sold on site. This year-round cabin is your next vacation!

We have three unique cabins named after famous pioneers: Daniel Boone, Buffalo Bill, and Bass Reeves. Our Annie Oakley pier is great for launching kayaks or canoes or just fishing and hanging out. Walk our Lewis and Clark trail to enjoy wildlife and river views. Let the little ones wade into the river and splash around at Pocahontas Point.

Our Daniel Boone cabin is our largest cabin, perfect for two to three families or a group of friends. This historic, pioneer style cabin features hand hewn logs dating back to the eighteen-hundreds, paintings from the original owner, country kitchen, and a Baldwin piano. The cabin was lovingly relocated and nestled on 16 acres in an idyllic setting along the bank of the Shenandoah River. Enjoy morning coffee on the large screened in porch while you watch the beauty of the mountains and river unfold. Spend the day canoeing, kayaking, tubing, or fishing and the evening catching fireflies, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, grilling, playing board games, or sipping spirits by the river. On the colder days, cozy up next to the authentic wood burning fireplace.

**Fireplace Closed April 1 to October 31**

FIRM NO PETS POLICY (non-negotiable due to liability reasons; please do not ask for an exception). Animal lovers welcome, however! We do have other pets on the property...dogs, cats, chickens, and a variety of forest creatures.

On site is a mile long trail that loops around the property. You have access to plenty of water equipment: tubes, kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes...enough water equipment for all guests to enjoy. We have plenty of adult life vests as well and four youth vests. You can access the river directly from our pier. There is a firepit next to the river.

The cabin is minutes from the Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest hiking trails. About a ten minute drive away are shops perfect for antiquing, the Luray Caverns, an adorable movie theater, restaurants, zip lining adventure, animal rescue zoo, distillery, golf course, brewery, vineyard, and the Luray Caverns. We are also within an easy and scenic drive to area wineries and Massanutten and Bryce ski resorts. See our Guidebook for more places to visit!

While we hope you spend most of your time outdoors, we do have a TV, WiFi, DVDs, Roku, and board games. Lots of toys/games for children; perfect detox for them to unplug!

Lovely retreat in the meander of Shenandoah river
It was pleasure to spend these 4 nights with our friends in the cozy Daniel Boone cabin. The area and host offers plenty of sports equipment and other opportunities to enjoy the place.

Beautiful and relaxing
A beautiful property, well-appointed, with close proximity to local attractions (we loved Luray Caverns). We had a wonderful weekend visit and wished our schedule allowed us to stay longer, as the property was exactly what we were looking for. The porch overlooking the river was our favorite spot to relax! The farm fresh eggs were delicious, too!

Perfection on the River
Our group of 12 rented the cabin to celebrate a birthday. The kids had a great time using the provided tubes, canoes and kayaks. The loved how accessible the river is from the property. The fire pit was perfect for nightly fires. The kitchen is small but is has everything you could need to cook for a group. We made three large meals with no issue. The Walmart is only 3 miles away so if you need something it's right there. The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. We hope to come back again! Thanks

Wonderful old historic log cabin, room for the whole family.
Our family had a wonderful stay at the Daniel Boone cabin. It was clean on arrival and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The location is close to Luray Caverns and a number of hiking trails. The grounds are peaceful and there were a lot of wildflowers by the river. Annie Oakley trail which was nice. What I loved most was the history of the cabin with 19th century hand hewed logs, real wood floors, and a lot of old country charm. Staying there brought you back to a more simple time. The Kitchen was small but well supplied with everything we needed. There are two grills out back available for guests to use. Our family really enjoyed being right on the river and having the kayaks and canoes available to use. The hosts provided a croquet set which my kids really enjoyed playing. If you enjoy playing games, the hosts have supplied plenty to choose from. We brought our own boggle game and enjoyed looking up challenge words in the biggest dictionary I've seen. There are no TVs in the bedrooms which is fine by me. We also did not have good cell reception, but there is Wifi which worked OK most of the time. Some cons were the squeaky floors which made every movement heard by the whole house. There is only one bathroom with a shower on the first floor, which did not seem to be a problem for us as we were all on vacation time and in no hurry to get anywhere, but the house could potentially sleep 13 so it might be an issue with a full house. There is a powder room with toilet and sink on the second floor where most of the bedrooms are. Bathrooms seemed up to date and clean. Plenty of hot water. The attic area where our boys slept was warm when we arrived but there is a window a/c up there and after a couple hours the boys said it was comfortable. The lighting in the living and dining area could be improved. You need to open a window to vent the kitchen and bathrooms. Smoke alarm is a bit sensitive. Overall, it is a wonderful location and a wonderful house. I would love to go back
