We had a wonderful stay. There were so many extras provided by the host that made our stay even better. We enjoyed the canoe, kayak and tubes. Firewood, starter and roasting sticks were provided. There were fun indoor and outdoor games to play. The kitchen was stocked well and they even had toiletries. The house was decorated with rustic cabin decor which we loved also.

Our stay at this riverfront home was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spotless everything was. The house was beautifully maintained, incredibly comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.The property itself is breathtaking. We spent so much time outside enjoying the peaceful river views, playing cornhole, and ending our evenings roasting marshmallows around the fire pit. The hosts also provided so many activities and games for guests to enjoy, making it easy to relax and have fun.The hosts were exceptionally kind and welcoming, and it was clear they put a lot of thought into making their guests feel at home.We can't recommend this property highly enough. It was one of the best vacation rentals we've ever stayed in, and we're already talking about making this our annual getaway. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff and Lori Perry

Host profile image
My husband and I are both teachers who moved to Virginia from Maryland about 25 years ago.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet and beauty of the Shenandoah Valley. We were fortunate enough to find this property right on the river where we could build our own cabin. Nothing beats having the Shenandoah River right out your front door.

What makes this property unique

We can swim, fish, and canoe right from the house. Evening campfires overlooking the river are the perfect way to spend an evening after a day in the water. There is plenty to do without leaving the house.
