Annual gathering

We had a great time using the fire pit. We went to Harper’s ferry to ride the trail and some people played golf. Lots of space to hang out. We would go back again

Family on the Shenandoah

We had a great family experience. The house fit our needs as a warm comfortable place for Christmas holiday. The Kitchen dinning and bedrooms gave us plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed the wildlife (Deer) that visited the property each day.

Beautiful place for a birthday getaway

This property was awesome! Clean, nicely furnished, extra supplies if needed and a great layout. Two firepits were such a bonus. One by the house and one by the river. We will be returning!

Great Property

Beautiful, open floorplan, perfect for our family gathering. Home was very clean with nice furnishings, and most everything you need to get you going. Listing said drip coffee maker, but they also have a Keurig. We used the outdoor grill and works different than our Weber. Make sure you turn knob in to turn off, as turning all the way to right only turns it on high. Weather wasn't great when we were there, but enjoyed the home, and will probably be back next year! Also had deer in yard a couple days. Nice!

Perfect property and vacation!

What an incredible property! This was our first time staying here and after just one long weekend we can't wait to come back again! The house was perfectly appointed for our stay. Every detail from the updated kitchen, to the bedrooms, to the downstairs living area was top notch. All the mattresses on the beds were brand new and extremely comfortable. We spent much of the days by and on the river, enjoying the kayaks to explore the vast stretch of the Shenandoah. We enjoyed watching the blue herons, egrets, and ospreys hunt for fish (which were jumping out of the water) and even saw a bald eagle swoop overhead. The evenings ended sitting around the huge outdoor fire pit in the comfortable Adirondack chairs (loved the built-in cup holders!), which was the perfect way to close out the day. The river front and lawn area were perfectly maintained and freshly mowed which made every activity easy and fun. Additionally, the owners were incredibly responsive and gracious, the check-in process was a breeze. They kindly let us use some of their existing firewood which saved us from having to bring in our own. They truly made us feel welcome and it was clearly important to them that we had the best possible experience.

A peaceful retreat

We had a wonderful time at the river retreat. I loved taking the dogs on walks everyday by the river. The screened in porch was awesome. We cooked on the grill and ate dinner on the porch. The views of river from the house are gorgeous. Our two teenagers loved having the basement to themselves. We had a game night on the huge kitchen table. This trip could not have been better. Such a beautiful home and location.
