We decided at the last minute to get away for Christmas. Everything went smoothly. The wrap around porch is what sold us to pick this location. It did not disappoint. Kitchen was equipped for our holiday cooking. As advertised, WiFi is minimal. We found if you take the short walk to the river you can get what you need. We were able to get Netflix on our phones to watch Christmas Day football. We saw some wildlife on the gravel road, Billy goats, wild turkeys.

This house was great. We enjoyed the yard with the tether ball and playground for the kids, the hot tub was great, the ping pong table was fun for everyone, and we roasted marshmallows over the campfire. The river is literally steps away and made for an easy walk with the dog. Highly recommend!

This was a great relaxing get-away for us. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows at the fire pit and sitting in the hot tub after a long day in Luray. In the mornings while sitting on the porch we enjoyed watching the deer come into the yard. The home was nicely appointed and clean. The beds were comfortable and the linens were fresh. We enjoyed the wraparound porch with so many rockers and chairs. It was lovely to relax in them while enjoying the scenery. The only "negative" we had was the bathtub could've used a rubber mat because one of our members fell while showering (no injury except for his pride). We didn't have any children with us but the playground, tetherball, and pingpong table would've been instant favorites.

Nice hottubCons: couldn't get DVD player to work, couldn't figure out the grill and the fireplace was out of order. The gnats and carpenter bees were sooo bad we couldn't go outside!

Perfect getaway

This was the perfect cabin especially with young kids. Our kids enjoyed the playground, short walk to the river, tetherball and fire pit to make s’mores. Inside was just as fun and comfy with darts and ping pong. We would highly recommend booking this cabin for a relaxing getaway!

Quite and off the beaten track

The house was clean, and the best stocked vacation rental we have ever stayed in. Everything worked. it is located down a gravel road so there was very little traffic, back in the country kind of setting but just about 20 min from downtown.

Exactly what a cabin should be

Great property! A short 2 min walk to the river. Hot tub, fire pit, and big children’s playground. Nice welcome basket and has both K-cup and drip coffee makers. Pet friendly. Definitely get your groceries before coming up — it’s 25 min drive back into town.

Review.

The stay house was great. Although when we first got there, we weren't there but for maybe 30 minutes and the power went out. We had no service and no idea what was going on so we had to drive into town. The helicopters were trimming the trees so the power was intentionally cut off. The hot tub could have been cleaner, there was a film on top of the water and a lot of dirt in it. But besides that, it was a great time! 😊

Mountain & River delight

We picked this location because it was along the Shenandoah River, and because we wanted a family sized cabin that would also allow dogs. COVID
