Beautiful view could not be beat and the cabin was cozy. Enjoyed playing some of the board games there and the fireplace. Host was quick to respond whenever we messaged.

Good morning,
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for writing a review.
We hope you will return soon.
The view is amazing at this place! Love that it’s dog friendly too. Only thing I will add is the floors were a little dirty but nothing I couldn’t clean up myself.
This was my second Christmas to stay at this amazing and authentic cabin with a beautiful wood burning fireplace. The view from every room is fantastic! Private trail down to the river. Wooded and secluded. Perfectly located close to Shenandoah River State Park, National Forsest, Skyline Drive, AT and Front Royal. Looking forward to my next visit.
Once again, we had a really great time! Our friends loved the place as well. It was their first time there with us. So much to do in the area! If you are looking for a truly rustic cabin getaway, this is your place!!!

Thanks again for coming back for another stay. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your review.
We hope you will return soon.
The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The fireplace was lovely and I spent a lot of time just enjoying the down time.I loved how easy everything was. The bed was amazingly comfortable and I had the best sleep. I do wish the outdoor fireplace was closer to the riverview- it would have been spectacular to sit by the outdoor fireplace and look at the river. I loved staying here and will definitely book again.

I have fond memories of camping in the Shenandoah Valley as a child. Being able to stay in this cabin helped bring back some of those memories. It seemed to be an ideal location for a lot of the sightseeing that I wanted to do. I plan on renting again when I decide to return to Shenandoah.

We look forward to your return stay.
Nice little cabin with a great view. Spent much of our time out on the front porch just looking at the river and mountains. Missing it already. The town has some great places to eat and you can get anthing you need without having to teavel too far. The gated driveway made us feel very safe. Definitely would consider going back.
Such a beautiful spot and the cabin is exactly what you’d expect! We started every day with coffee on the porch watching the river and the mountains. Hiked all day and then ended our day grilling and watching the sun set over the mountains, again on the porch. Beds were comfortable, shower felt great! We loved it and our granddaughter is already planning on us returning to this special place.

About the host

Why they chose this property
Location, location, Location- Our cabin is the perfect home base for all your outdoor activities and adventures in the Shenandoah Valley. Our log cabin is secluded and built on a 100 foot cliff above the Shenandoah River with 35 acres of privacy. The Shenandoah River State Park and the Skyline Drive northern entrance are both only a ten minutes drive. The newly built Canopy Tours zip line was just open in the summer of 2014 which takes over 3 hour to complete. If you’re more interested in water activities; swimming, fishing or boating is all just a walk or 10 minute ride. There are three boating companies in the area which offer numerous options for floating down the river. Did someone say wine tasting? There are over 30 wineries within 30 minutes of our cabin with new ones opening every year. We hope you will choose our home base for a memorable getaway. The river can be accessed by walking, but does not have river access for launching boats due to the path to the river.
