It's the perfect spot for two. Three if you count the dog. We loved the cabin and the community it was located in. We will look to book this property (or another owned by this host) again.

Great getaway for couples

The cabin is rustic as described and charming. It has a laid back historic vibe. Hot tub is great! River is calming to watch and hear. The best is Boots, insert heart melting . We are not much pet people but this cat is the sweetest. My husband must have something she Sat next to him outside everytime rubbed up against him, came when he called and rubbed her head on his hand. He hated leaving her, and wants to go back soon to see her. Overall we enjoyed the place and look forward to going back

Needs work overall and cleaning before arrival

The house is a rustic cabin and that would be fine -- not going to get a hotel setting, which is what we wanted. Unfortunately the outdoor furniture had not been cleaned in a long time. The point in going here was to be outside and not to have to pre-clean all of it before we used it! Inside was not any better. There are great sliding glass ceiling to floor windows that overlook the river but the last time they were cleaned may have been last year. Putting that aside, you could not open the sliding glass windows as there were no screens and "the house cat", would have gotten in, if opened - - strict orders, in writing, not to let that happen!! The screen door, on the only door into the cabin, is dilapidated and needs repair/replacement. The interior of the house is dirty (we have pictures) window sills with dead flies, dirt, A/C unit has black mold on face, the "house mouse" should be somewhat expected in a wooded setting, but no rodent controls were visible. Kitchen came with only one large bowl and no soup bowls at all. The utensils that the 3 pages of directions (orders - - all directions can be much more visitor friendly and still get the same point across) state that they must be cleaned and put away, They were dirty in the draw and obviously just put away prior to our arrival. No hooks in bathroom for towels and very limited hanging space thru out the cabin (one 3 hook wooden bar with 2 smaller hooks below,), the shower has no light so you are dependent on whatever can filter your way, but don't let that bother you as the shower has minimal water pressure and isn't much more than a trickle. Layout of the living room has 3 sofas all facing out to river but theTV in on a table behind furniture. Wifi did not connect and said that the system was not available. Beyond this it had a great view of the river and mountains and we enjoyed seeing a storm come over the mountain one eveining. I would say "pass" on this one..

Peace and Quiet

The information provided made the check in and out process very simple. The cabin was tidy and had a beautiful view of the river. There was plenty of hot water and the hot tub was immaculate. We can't wait to go back.

Shenandoah Seclusion

Although a part of a private group of homes, this cottage offers great privacy and seclusion. Located directly on the river, it has incredible views where you can watch ospreys and water fowl. Comfortable for two, with a private deck and hot tub. Local shops and stores within 10 minute drive, and lots of local activities.

Riverbank fun

Private central location, caught 10 Smallmouth bass on a floating minnow fishing from the lower deck in 2.5 hrs. over 3 days. Enjoyed outdoor cat each day and his raccoon and bird friends. Hot tub was amazing after local hikes in Shenandoah Park. We throughly enjoyed our stay. You can float the shallow river or walk across it with watershoes. Just know there is only a college size refrigerator with minimal kitchen supplies and one window air conditioner. It was all good for us.

Cozy, quiet cabin

This cabin was perfect for a quiet Thanksgiving. The view was peaceful, the porch was big with a clean and well-functioning hot tub, the heat works well to keep the place warm, the bed is very comfortable, and the cabin is a short drive from lots of hiking and Luray Caverns. The set up of the cabin is strange in a charming sort of way — you can see the old bones of when the cottage was a pair of rooms in an old riverside resort. The fireplaces are in the bedroom and kitchen instead of the living room as a result so we didn’t end up using them the way we had planned, but the wall of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the river more than makes up for it. The sleepy little resident cat (Boots) who hangs out outside the back windows was an endless source of entertainment, though she really just kind of sat there the whole time. One word of warning — as advertised, there’s no WiFi. If you’re hoping to rely on cell service to access internet instead, don’t. There’s not enough service to even send a text while you’re there, so take the listing at its word! All in all we had a wonderful and relaxing time and would highly recommend.

River View

The view out the front room and decks is just beautiful. The river flows by gently and steadily, and all cares melt away. I am glad we had a cooler full of ice, as the property has a motel size refrigerator.

Rustic Cabin

The location is great- very beautiful and peaceful. We loved being right on the river, and fishing right in front of the cabin. Loved the big windows looking over the river. Town of Luray was not far, and there's tons to do in the area. The cabin was charming; however, it's definitely rustic, as stated. Kitchen appliances were dated, and the lighting (at night) was poor. Repairs to deck stairs are needed. No cell or internet service.

About the host

Hosted by Donna and Brad Eames

The moment we saw this cabin approximately 15 years ago, we knew it was very very special and we had to have it.

Why they chose this property

This cabin has the best views of any cabin we have seen. Not only does it have 6 sets of sliding glass doors in living room over looking river, up and down the river, the mountain views across the river of the GW Forest are stunning. Also, the view of the rapids on the river with the low water bridge underneath makes for great viewing, sounds and wading across river.

The dock down on the river with the table and chairs creates epic dining alfresco at sunset. (The Sunsets Are Incredible from the dock).

This cabin has two gorgeous antique stone wood burning fireplaces (wood supplied seasonally), one in kitchen and one in bedroom that are the epitome of a romantic breakfast in the kitchen on a wintery morning or dinner on a Fall evening.

What makes this property unique

This cabin sits directly at the river's edge. Awesome views of the River, GW Forest across River, Rapids on River, Awesome Sunsets from dock, Dock on river with alfresco dining, river access and close proximity to low water bridge, historical place, 100 year old giant box woods, therapeutic hot tub, Two wood burning fire places (one in kitchen and one in bedroom). There are some many amazing attributes to this cabin.

The only way to appreciate all the unique qualities of this cabin is to experience it.

Nature is calling you, come enjoy Rustic River Cabin and rejuvenate!
