About this property
Historic Riverhouse w/ riverview! Privacy and seclusion! Steps away from River!
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Private river access!
Want to get away from the big crowds? Now is the time to stay in this beautiful home. The only crowds you will see here are the cattle that graze the pasture with nearly 25 newborn calf running and playing in the field! (Cattle are rotated and are not in this pasture 100% of the time.) Bring the family and enjoy some downtime while taking in the beautiful 360 degree views of the mountains. So many things to see and do, without the crowd. Historic River House is nestled on the beautiful Shenandoah River with a spectacular year round river front view and private boat dock with a included canoe and optional paddle boat rental. Located at 7910 Farm Lane in Elkton, Virgina 22827. River house is decorated in an Early American Colonial Theme with many antiques and period decor. Enjoy the mountain and river views while relaxing in the hot tub, or from one of two covered porches. Vacation in style while having the full features of a home at your finger tips. Explore the river or the nearby national parks, all at your own pace. River house is a great place to relax. Enjoy a local hike along the river walking along a well worn path or venture into town for shopping and dining. The Shenandoah National Park is also very close by and offers many recreational opportunities.

Check in was great, this area is absolutly beautiful! The river is nice and easy. Loved going out on the canoe and visiting Shenandoa National Park. Loved the old farms and the old time feel.
We had a great time staying here. It was close to many of the things we wanted to do and very peaceful (except for the train activity across the river). The dock had been wiped out by river flooding (our host was very apologetic and informed us that a new one was in the works for future guests) but was still able to enjoy the river. The walk to the river is not far, however it is on a slight incline through the cow pasture so be prepared. The house had just about everything you would need to make your stay a good one. We traveled with 7 people and not one complaint!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect and the farm was so much fun. We loved getting back to some peace and quiet. This is a phenomenal house and was a picture perfect stay.
Lovely property. We enjoyed the morning sunrises over the pasture! Great location- close to skyline drive and the caverns but far enough away for peaceful relaxation. Check in was easy and accommodations were great. Highly recommended.
I was looking for a spot to relax and recharge so the quiet farm setting was the prescription I needed. Seeing cows and Mr. Donkey made me smile every morning.

Everything was good . But the mattress needs to be changed for all the bunk beds .
Great spot to gather with friends. Grilling, campfires, and canoeing. We were able to sleep 4 adults and 4 kids (9, 11, 11, 16) comfortably. Easy access to Shenandoah. Surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farmland. Short walk to the water's edge. Host was very accomodating and solved a couple small issues promptly.
The river house was the perfect setting to kick off spring break for our kids. We brough our dogs who were as happy as could be chasing balls through the yard and watching the cows in the pasture. My husband and kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and taking a trip down the river in the canoe. And we all enjoyed evenings soaking in the hottub. So much beauty to soak in throughout the valley and this location was absolutely delightful. Thank you for letting us stay!
Great location. DARK at night. Secluded. Comfortable house. The one bath is in the first level, so if you have to use the bathroom at night you have to walk down some steep steps. Otherwise, good property. I’d definitely stay there again. Property manager was very nice and helpful.
Right on the Shenandoah. Beautiful Scenery. Relaxing time on the river, and Covered Porch.
Good early Morning Coffee Views in all directions. Close to town, although doesn’t feel like it. Host Scot very responsive and helpful. Will be back. Definitely recommend!
We were looking for a few quiet, relaxing days, and that was exactly what we got. The property is rustic and simple, with a beautiful view of the Shenandoah river. The property is well kept, with a grill, fire pit and hot tub. The decor is beautiful antique. We greatly enjoyed relaxing in the sitting room, talking and reading. I walked around the house and used Google lens to identify the portraiture throughout the house; very interesting! The swift run gap entrance to skyline drive is right up the road, making for an easy trip to hike and see waterfalls. It's far enough out from big cities that the night sky was magnificent. Definitely keeping this one for future visits.
We loved our anniversary trip at Soct’s home! Very comfortable home, everything was as stated. Scot was very accommodating and responsive. Beautiful home, very comfortable bed, lovely area, we plan to visit again! Enjoyed the cows coming to visit also! Thank you!
This was a beautiful property. Great history and peaceful. The view was superb and I can tell this would be great for a destination wedding or family reunion
This is a very old well-kept historic river front home nestled in the Shenandoah Valley near the Massanutten Resort. We come every year for our after Christmas ski trip and stay in different VRBOs each time. This one we would use again. It was surprisingly warm one of the days so we used the canoe and paddle boat (though we recommend you replace the ropes as one rope got stuck in the paddle boat wheel and the ropes are in bad shape). The kids (college age) LOVED going on the river! We also used the hot tub a couple times. We ran out of time to use the fire pit or grill, but those are nice options. The home was well stocked with all kitchen amenities, games, towels, basic supplies, etc. The beds in the adult bedrooms were very comfortable. The bunk beds weren't as comfortable, but were fine for their purpose. There's a TV with lots of cable options in every room, the wifi worked great, and we found a few games and cards which we used. The only thing that would have been nice to have on site was some laundry pods as we had some muddy towels from boating we needed to wash and had to go to the store to buy laundry detergent. Overall, we loved our stay and the owners were very communicative and easy to work with.
Our family had a relaxing time and even though it feels like the country, there are restaurants and shops less than 15 minutes away.
We would certainly consider staying again.
