Nestled into a hill on the banks of the Shenandoah River, this cabin was purpose-built for river-side vacations. You can relax and chat with friends on the screened-in porch or roast marshmallows around the nearby fire pit while listening to the river in the background. Stacked, dried firewood is available for you to use for a small fee. Inside, you'll find a fully-equipped kitchen that flows into the dining area and living room complete with satellite and cable TV and a gas fireplace. From the cozy living area, you have a wonderful view of the yard and river through the beautiful window wall. Rest up from a day of enjoying the great outdoors in one of the three comfortable bedrooms or in a chair on the large deck overlooking the river. The cabin also features wood flooring and trim, a cathedral ceiling in the living area, and tile floors in the modern, fully-furnished bathrooms. Outside, there's a gas grill for grilling hamburgers, a huge open yard, and - did we mention? - the riverbank so you can wade right out or take the canoes out with ease.

This place was amazing - extremely clean, stocked with anything we may have needed, the instructions for everything were clearly outlined and the hosts' communication was stellar. Thank you again Green Castle - we will be back!

Relaxing on the river
Such a sweet cabin in the woods. My family and I had an amazing weekend relaxing in the river during the day and spending quality time together around the campfire in the evenings. Our dogs loved the getaway as well.
It was a nice comfy cabin and met all our needs. Unfortunately the nearby trail was blocked by a fallen tree but everything else was wonderful. It could be easier to get to the river.

Thank you so much! Hope to see you again, Kayla! 😊
We loved our stay at green castle cabin! It was great to be right on the water with kayaks and canoes to use and the hot tub was clean with amazing views.
This house was the perfect spot for a long getaway with friends! The open floor plan on the first floor is great for hanging out and the views are perfect with the windows surrounding it! I would definitely stay here again.
This is an excellent property and location for All accommodations. They family enjoyed the stay here, as they got to experience the outdoors while still having the comforts of home. I'm looking forward to another getaway...soon 😌🙌

Wonderful Stay on the River
As a group of two couples, this was our second visit to Green Castle hosted by Shenandoah Rentals. They did a wonderful job communicating with us for arrival and departure; Laura and her team were especially helpful moving a kayak to the property for our use. We enjoyed the open space on the first floor for cooking and meals. The deck facing the South Fork of the Shenandoah River provided us with beautiful and peaceful views of the river. The hot tub was especially relaxing after kayaking on the river. We plan to be back next year!

Awesome get away
We love this cabin. Excellent communication with management. The house and views are amazing. Highly recommend this stay!
This cabin is prime real estate for floating the south fork on Luray. There is a public boat launch 8 miles up the road where you launch, and then float one of the best parts of the Shenandoah River back to the cabin. It is very beautiful here!!
The cabin was in a beautiful location right on the river and near a pond that we drove to for fishing and kayaking. The river was extremely high due to recent rains, but we did manage to catch some fish and enjoy a tube float. The Wi-Fi was appreciated, because we didn't get any cell service in the area on Verizon. I do wish the hosts provided shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, because there isn't a place to pick some up nearby, so that seemed like a critical amenity to have on hand. We had to run back to Luray to get some. It was a lovely relaxing family vacation!

Thank you, Jilian, for staying at Green Castle and for your feedback. We look forward ot hosting you again :)
Hi. We had a great time and loved the location and fire pit. Only issue was the low supply of toilet paper and trash bags.

Thank you for the 5 stars! I am sorry about the low supply of paper goods. I have informed the house manager to leave more for larger groups. Come back and visit anytime. -Shenrent
Great place to stay. Quiet, relaxing long weekend by the river. A few insects in the porch enclosure, but to be expected at this time of year. Cabin clean and tidy. Booking process worked really well. Would love to come back :)
Waking up to enjoy coffee, looking out the windows at the river, was positively tranquil. This was our first real time out of the house amidst the Covid19 quarantine and we couldn’t have picked a more peaceful location. The house is tucked away but close enough to enjoy an afternoon in town. Thanks for a great getaway at one of our favorite places to visit!

I could not have asked for a better birthday retreat. It was everything I asked for and more. If you are seeking solitude, an opportunity to breathe and feel the stress ebb away, this is the place for you. I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting the owner who is very charming. I will be returning.

Amazing
The property was perfect. Amazing views and right on the river. Very clean and very well equipped. We enjoyed it so much we already booked the cabin again. The Shenandoah team is also very responsive to your questions which I appreciated. I really have no complaints other than I wish we had stayed longer. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this gorgeous cabin.
