Riverfront - Happy Peach on the Shenandoah

Come relax and enjoy at The Happy Peach! Nestled at the base of the Massanutten Mountains on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River (100 feet of frontage), this cozy house is the perfect base for adventures or a restful getaway. Fishing, hiking, rafting, antique shopping, wine tasting, exploring caverns or visiting historic sites are just some of the possibilities. Our 2-bedroom house is an ideal getaway for a small group or family and is only 90 miles from DC and 15 miles away from the North entrance of Shenandoah National Park.

The house is on a wooded lot near the end of a quiet road. A large screened porch faces the river and is great for dining, board games or simply relaxing and listening to the sounds of nature. The porch has lighting as well as ceiling fans to keep things cool. There is additional outdoor seating on the deck and a fire pit just down the back steps. The area is home to abundant wildlife and small creatures including deer, river otter, ground hogs, a variety of birds, bear as well as many insects and reptiles so prepare to convene with nature!

For entertainment, there's a variety of options: books, puzzles, games, movies (DVD) and music.

The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, dishes and utensils as well as some basic spices.
Bedroom linens and bathroom towels are provided for each guest.
Air conditioning is available and most rooms have a ceiling fan for additional / alternate cooling.

The peaceful and friendly town of Strasburg is just 10 minutes away and offers a number of delicious dining options including a variety of restaurants, a bakery, ice cream shop and a couple of breweries. Take a tour of the town and enjoy all the murals painted by professional artists. At just 15 miles away, Front Royal is your gateway to Shenandoah National Park and the famous Skyline Drive … explore the visitors center, get out for a hike or jump into a rafting adventure! There are wineries, caverns, a covered bridge, museums, battlefields and many quaint towns in the Shenandoah Valley beckoning to you … try not to fall in love!

Little Oasis

The Happy Peach is perfect for a getaway. It’s spacious and warmly decorated, welcoming everyone to spread out and relax. The view of the river and the feeling of seclusion yet just 10 minutes outside of town is unmatched. We enjoyed a day downtown visiting the brewery and antique shops, of which there are plenty. We also enjoyed a day watching the snow fall and cooking, reading, and just relaxing. It’s a perfect location and perfect place to find a little peace and time to connect with your partner/yourself/nature.

We loved our escape to the Happy Peach

We are repeat guests and we keep coming back for the excellent service, charming home with all the necessary comforts, and location. It’s a fantastic escape from the hustle and bustle. Callie is an excellent host and the process from booking until check out is easy and clear. Make sure you read through the binder that they leave out for you. It’s got lots of great info on local restaurants and activities!

Shenandoah get away

This is a great property a short drive from many of the popular western Virginia attractions. The house has everything you need and the host is very accommodating. We had some concerns with bad weather and the host helped us resolve with no issue. This house is a short drive to several towns for dining and exploring. It is fully equipped if prefer to cook for yourself. The screen porch was our favorite feature and we loved watching the river and the wildlife. Recommend to anyone wanting a comfortable getaway!

Relaxing weekend at the happy peach

We had a great time at this property! Nice and quiet, secluded enough to feel disconnected to the world but close enough to Town to get almost anything you needed. We enjoyed the river and the firepir here, and the wildlife that paid us visits.

Tranquil and bucolic getaway!

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with excellent access to the Shenandoah Valley, the Happy Peach is a fantastic option! It’s a cozy cabin overlooking the Shenandoah River that feels a world away from everything but is only minutes from downtown Strasburg, I-81 and I-66. The deck, screen porch, outdoor fire pit, and grassy flat area by the accessible river offer lots of options to enjoy nature. Easily navigable deep steps make accessing the river or the flat adjoining river bank area manageable (though there’s no handrail). The home is clean and comfortable, with lots of considerate touches (information on area attractions and restaurants, games, a well stocked kitchen, lots of extra pillows in the closet…) that make for a great visit. The primary bedroom and attached full bath (2nd floor) were very generously sized with plenty of space for luggage. Callie was prompt and thorough in all communication, offering helpful advice to questions before and during our visit. We’d love to visit again! Thank you for hosting us!

Tucked away, but not too far!

A truly unique cabin/home that blends in nicely with nature and it's surroundings. Ultra clean property that is well taken care of, the new steps to the waters edge are a nice touch! Off the beaten path, but minutes from all the necessities. This is a great place to get lost, or go exploring on foot, bicycle or by car.

Loved it!

First, I have to say that Callie is a wonderful host. Snow was expected the night before our arrival and she texted with us to make sure we wanted to keep our reservation and then kept us up to date with the conditions of the roads. She even had the wonderful neighbor clear the driveway and porch. We felt welcome the moment we arrived. The reason for our visit was to enjoy some cooler weather. Be careful what you wish for because it was in the single digits! We loved it. While it was a little too chilly to enjoy the beautiful rocking chairs on the porch or the firepit by the river, we loved staying cozy by the fire inside. The property was beautiful covered in snow. We enjoyed walks at the River Walk in the park and at Seven Bend Park. The house was very clean and was stocked with everything you might need. These Floridians felt so lucky to be there during this snow! Look no futher. This is a great place to stay. I would love to come back in the summer also!

Quiet winter weekend

Booked a last minute 2 night stay and was not disappointed! Perfect house for our needs and amazing location right on the river! It was so nice to stay in and play games and just enjoy the fire and the quietness. Would love to return in the summer and take advantage of the easy river access!

River Recharge

We booked the Happy Peach for a relaxing weekend getaway for our family of 4. We had a rainy few days, but enjoyed every minute of our stay. The property is amazing and Callie was a wonderful host. A great spot to stay put and unwind, but also a short drive to hiking, dining, and shopping.

We LOVE the Happy Peach

This is the ultimate place to relax and unwind. We love that it's off the beaten path and in such a quiet, calm setting. We kayak, fish, tube, hike and just sit on the screened in porch and read. The communication with Callie is excellent and the house amenities are fantastic. We will certainly be back.

Relaxing home away from home

Our family really enjoyed being here. The house had all the features we loved and more. We especially enjoyed sitting by the river and the screened in porch I’m the evenings. The house was very spacious yet cozy. Like home away from home. I especially want to say our host was so attentive and easy to contact if needed. We look forward to going back again.

Lovely

My husband and I brought our 5 month old for a little getaway and we were not disappointed! Callie was so accommodating and easy to get in touch with. We felt right at home in the master bedroom—it was extra cozy. The master bedroom and screened porch make this getaway 5 stars alone. Add in the river, the wine berries around the property and the surrounding beauty and you have it made! The Mountain View on the way to and from the property is breathtaking. Watch out for the gnats in the heat of the summer (mostly toward the road where the forest gets really dense). They tend to want to fly straight into your eyes and I had one stuck in there for a few hours (thankfully got it out). This is basically on national forest land so there’s nothing but forest for miles if you’re looking straight out the front of the property. Beautiful stay! I can imagine the fall would be equally as beautiful here. We will be coming back.

A peaceful, magical place!

We spent three nights at the Happy Peach to get away during a challenging time. It was so relaxing and peaceful, just what we needed. Everything was just as listed, if not even better. The king bed was so comfortable. Everything was clean and thoughtful appointed. The screened in porch was the best and I did a lot of rocking out there, looking out to the river. The best part was the river access and how lovely it was. My son enjoyed splashing around and skipping rocks. We floated around on the tubes, which were kindly provided. I would very much like to come back and stay again! Callie was a wonderful host and extremely communicative and kind. Thank you for the perfect getaway!

Really cute cabin, very well equipped! Perfect outdoor screened porch for meals overlooking the river. Easy access to put in/take out kayaks and tubes for scenic float trips. We loved the location so close (but feeling remote from) Strasburg with lots of shops and restaurants. Caretaker was super responsive. Wonderful stay!
