Rolling River Farm: Exquisite Riverfront Paradise

EXCLUSIVE PONTOON BOAT DEAL: Experience the Shenandoah River and Blue Ridge Mountains along a scenic stretch of the river from the deck of our 2022 Sun Chaser Geneva 13 Passenger Boat. Rent the boat during your stay and get exclusive guest deals or stay with us a week and get an evening pontoon cruise included with the booking! Bookings must be made between June 20th through August 30th, 2024. *Limitations may apply


Rolling River Farm. Private 100 Acre Riverfront Paradise surrounded by water- on a full bend in the legendary Shenandoah River. Perfect setting for families or couples and especially well suited to furry friends.

-600 SQ/FT Rec/Workout room with large screen and hot tub outside - Wii Game system, Foosball, Air-hockey and Ping Pong tables.
-Just one hour from Dulles Airport and the Washington Capitol Beltway (believe it or not there are only four traffic lights between the farm and the Capitol Hill).

Starbucks, restaurants and shopping only ten minutes away.
100 holes of Golf are within a four mile radius. Historic Downtown Front Royal with its shops, restaurants and antiques is fifteen minutes from the farm.

Deep water for swimming, tubing, water-skiing, wake-boarding with a private boat ramp (suitable for small boats and jet-skis) and a private dock. All right from your own waterfront. Bring your own boat and jet skis or arrange with the owner (additional cost can be quoted). Kayaks and canoe provided with the house.


After a day on/in the river enjoy showering off in the exquisite outdoor shower and sunning yourself dry on the built in bench or experience the fun of showering and then shaving at the outdoor sink with the birds singing above you in the morning light (naturally this feature is closed in the colder months).

Panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Walking/riding trails right on the property. Hunting (in season) and fishing available right on the farm (with permission of owner). Horses are welcome, with permission, and there is a paddock and grazing as needed.

The traditional Virginia stucco farmhouse has been thoughtfully renewed, restored and redecorated to preserve and enhance its charms. To quote a recent visitor from Maryland: 'I can't tell you what a blast we had. We felt like we were in a movie. The house could not have been more perfect, it was warm and cozy and allowed us to spend quality family time together. My family loves history and this farm house and property is loaded with just that. We loved the way you have restored it allowing the history to show through yet updating it at the same time.'

All Season enjoyment--The wrap-around porch is the perfect place to watch sunsets or enjoy porch drinks. The brick terrace with its gas fire-pit is great for stargazing and conversation on cool evenings. Winter nights can be enjoyed by the fire sipping hot cocoa or reading a good book. Surrounded by over one hundred acres of rolling fields and woods with a river on three sides you can soak up the quiet and seclusion.

This is a private vacation retreat, very much family oriented, that contains religious art and images that reflect their faith. They invite you to come and explore or just get away from it all. All are welcome.

Front Royal has major several major national parks and attractions;Skyline Drive, Shenandoah River with local outfitters, Skyline Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, Appalachian Trail...

Idyllic
This home and property were absolutely beautiful. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. My siblings and our families enjoyed our time so much. We kayaked, hiked, canoed, relaxed in the amazing hot tub and played air hockey in the rec room. We also visited nearby Shenandoah National Park. Our dogs also had a wonderful time and the room to run and play fetch and walk was immense! What wonderful memories for us to share for a lifetime. 💓

BETTER THAN THE PICTURES!
Our family of 36 reunited here for an 80th bday celebration. We stayed in 4 different homes owned & managed by Frank & Grace and all of them were gorgeous, well stocked with dishes, spices, appliances, but we gathered each evening at Exquisite/Farmhouse and with good reason: The house & sprawling property is prettier than the pictures convey. Frank & Grace are accommodating, generous, & responsive, which made organizing this tremendous get-together so much easier on all who were gathering from 3 different states. Don’t look anywhere but here!

Holiday Weekend on the River
Overall the farm house property was a great place to enjoy time with friends. The house comfortably slept the 6 of us and had all the amenities you would need while on vacation. The cleared area down by the river was a great place to relax on and off the water. We spent almost 2 whole days kayaking and swimming in the river and had a great time making a fire near the water. There was plenty of room to setup a slackline, throw frisbee, and play cornhole. The hot tub was a great place to relax after a long day hiking in Shenandoah National Park.

Wonderful, Charming and Relaxing
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit this past weekend. The house is very comfortable, beautifully furnished, a well equipped kitchen, great outdoor places to lounge for reading and playing games, loved the picnic tables for meals, the outside shower, hot tub and easy walks down to the river. We all were relaxed so much we skipped the idea of hiking and stayed at the house. Great place!

6* location
My family ranged from 16 to 78 years old. This is an amazing property for people who enjoy nature, at least a little. There is quite a lot to do on the property and in the surrounding area. Smallmouth bass fishing below the dam is spectacular. Bring vehicles okay on bumpy dirt roads. They're flat, so our minivan did okay but I wouldn't spring a sports/luxury car. Three teenagers (2 not real outdoorsy) weren't bored there. Easy drive to quaint downtown Front Royal or walmart/target etc. as needed.

Total relaxation
We came here for a family vacation, there were 8 of us total with two small dogs. The farm had absolutely everything you need to have a quiet vacation. The kitchen was stocked beyond what we could have hoped for, the bedrooms were comfortable and the game room was so much fun for all. There was plenty of wildlife to keep us entertained on the porch having our morning coffee. Close to hiking or skyline drive in Shenandoah. We enjoyed our stay at the farm and plan on going back!

Wonderful
We had two families at the house, and we all had a great time. The house was clean and updated. We loved sitting on the porch and the adirondack chairs while the dogs raced around the farm. We used the canoe & kayaks almost every day. Very relaxing, yet close to town for supplies.

Wonderful Farm on Shenandoah River
We stayed three nights at this gorgeous property. It is even better than the pictures and description. The property is beautiful and amazingly well kept with lots of outdoor seating , tables, hammocks etc. The porch with swing and glider was a favorite spot. The River is beautiful and crystal clear here. We caught beautiful bass and enjoyed kayaking and just sitting in the dock. House was very clean…extra efforts had been made to make sure we had everything we needed. Beds were all comfy. Our family is really looking forward to returning next year.

Great house for family gathering
This was a great place to assemble a three-generation family. Lots of rooms. Well furnished. Excellent kitchen appliances and equipment. Full laundry. The game room in the old barn was very popular with the children. We highly recommend it for a family vacation. Rose was very helpful directing us through an alternate route when a storm brought a tree down across the usual road. I took one star off cleanliness only because of mice problem. I understand it is in the country and mice happen, but the pull-out sofa beds had not been cleaned recently and those who planned to use them slept instead on the chaise lounge and sofas.

Peaceful Getaway
Absolutely beautiful home and property - a perfect getaway for our family. Enjoyed kayaking, canoeing and fishing on the river. Most days it felt like we had the river to ourselves. Loved sitting on the porch every morning with my coffee, a book and the view. A perfect location if you want to spend most of your time enjoying the property, which is just what we wanted to do. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Not As Expected
This house was MUCH MUCH smaller then expected. We never got the TV to work so luckily my daughter had brought her laptop so we could stream different shows. There were 7 of us and could not all fit in the living room to watch TV together at night. Once we found the area where the canoe and kayaks were it made our trip much more pleasurable. A lot of bug and tics in the house. Expected them outside but not inside. Had a problem with the screen door locking on us but Rose got back to us quickly.

Relaxing Getaway
We loved our stay at Rolling River Farm. Waking up every morning to see the dogs running happily through the expansive fields was a great way to start the day. Our boys loved the game room and the farmhouse was so comfortable for hanging out and playing board games. The area by the river was beautiful and it was amazing to have that much space to ourselves. We look forward to another visit soon!

Nice escape
My small family and dog enjoyed this beautiful, expansive farm property with rolling hills and direct access to the river. We had a great escape from DC area for hiking, canoeing, and s’mores. The house was quaint and cozy. The separate game room wasn’t quite what we expected so we didn’t end up using it. Might be better for teenagers. Also had some minor plumbing issues as well as a nighttime mouse visit. Overall a nice get away.

About the host

Hosted by Frank O'Reilly

Host profile image
They say that some opportunities are 'once in lifetime' but our family's opportunity to own this magical property was 'once in many lifetimes" as the farm was owned by the previous owners since before the Civil War. Being in construction and real estate for over 35 years I can say that if I had set off to find a property like this it would have been impossible...now it is our family's delight to share it with all of you.

Why they chose this property

Ever dream of rolling hills of green surrounded by woodlands washed with ever changing light and cloud... with a river flowing around it all! Rolling River Farm is such a place. Some folks come and find it hard to leave. It is easy to get to (an hour from the Washington Beltway). It is literally within sight of Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest yet with easy access to restaurants, wineries, and shops.

What makes this property unique

Private waterfront destination with over 100 acres to roam and explore. Great for large family reunions with other Rolling River Holiday cottages within walking distance.
