About this property

Luxury Cabin for 8 @ River's Bend Ranch; river access & trail rides on site.

River's Bend Ranch is a guest ranch and event venue owned and operated by the McConnell family for almost 40 years. We sit on over 250 beautiful acres nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the George Washington National Forest. With a half-mile of shoreline on the Shenandoah River, and over 20 bedrooms on-site, RBR offers the perfect setting for family gatherings, weddings & receptions, group retreats, or just a quiet weekend getaway.
On the ranch guests can enjoy fishing, birding, and walking trails, as well as lawn games and our indoor game room. Trail rides along our piece of the Shenandoah's South Fork are available to guests and the general public, and can accommodate any riding ability.
With the quaint town of Luray, its famous Caverns, and the incredible Skyline Drive just a few miles out, RBR offers access to activities for all tastes and ages.

The largest of our cabin suites, the LODGE has three bedrooms and sleeps 8 guests. It features an open-concept layout with a comfortable living area, a fully-equipped kitchen and a dining table for 6. It is the only unit with a washer & dryer, and also features flat-screen cable TV and wifi access. Linens and kitchenware are provided. There are two full baths, with a jacuzzi tub in the master. Rocking chairs on the covered, wrap-around porch are the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and incredible views of the surrounding mountains!

Weekend escape to the mountains with family

We had an incredible time this weekend at the cabin. It was spotless, well-stocked, and the online pictures didn't do it justice. This place exceeded our expectations! The staff were friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. When my girls decided they want to go horse back riding I was nervous since I haven’t been on a horse in 30 years but the trail guides expertly matched us with horses that seemed to compliment our personalities and went above and beyond to create a truly memorable experience. When my father couldn't make it to the fence to see the horses due to health issues, the trail guide showed so much kindness and brought a horse to him with a bag of carrots, making his day unforgettable . We look forward to our next visit!

Amazing property and trip!

We loved the Lodge at Rivers Bend Ranch! There's nothing like waking up to seeing horses and longhorns graze in the front lawn. The house was comfortable and had the basics. I do think a few more dishes and glasses would be helpful, as there were less than the number of beds. But overall very happy and grateful for an unforgettable, incredible vacation!

It looked like a movie set

Every morning we enjoyed our coffee on the covered porch looking over the surrounding mountain views and talking to the horses/cows. In the evening we used our fire pit to have Smores and Campfire Banana Boats for dessert. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, the property was comfortable for the 7 of us and the location was perfect! You were close enough to enjoy all that the city offers yet felt like you were miles away from civilization on a western movie set when you returned. Could not have been more relaxing, peaceful or enjoyable and we will most definitely return!!

Beautiful cabin stay for family

We stayed at this lovely property with our 2 kids (3 and 2 years old). Everybody had a blast. It's close to Luray and many cute restaurants and to numerous family-friendly hiking trails. The property itself had plenty to keep our kids entertained including a great playground and pigs, goats, and chickens to visit. The cabin itself had unbelievable views and was spacious for our family of 4. We can't wait to visit again!

Cabin getaway

Was a delightful experience Susan was so responsive to any requests. Sadly we had rain all weekend so could no ride or walk the property. But the covered porch was perfect for morning coffee and relaxation on t3be rocking chairs. Views are amazing and loved hearing and seeing the cows and horses

BEAUTIFUL!!

My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate his birthday. The views were amazing everywhere you looked! It was amazing to be so close to all the animals. The property it just awe inspiring. It’s close to the Shenandoah river for a good hike or some kayaking, and near the Luray caverns, which we were able to check out. They even offer trail rides around the property which was a wonderful experience. Everyone was super nice and helpful as well.

Peaceful Getaway

We had a really lovely stay at the Lodge at River's Bend Ranch. The ranch itself is beautiful and we loved watching the horses, cows and deer throughout the day. The house is as pictured and fit our needs for our family of 5 perfectly. I think the only things I would clarify about the house is that it isn't isolated as the picture may make it seem. There is another cabin (or 2 individual cabins sharing 1 building) right next door. This didn't pose a problem, or have any sort of negative effect on our stay, I just wasn't expecting it. Also, to clarify about the grills and the firepit, the description made me think there was a central area for the entire ranch to share these things each night. However, there were 2 grills and multiple firepits (2 solo stoves and 1 traditional firepit) for all 3 cabins on the hill to share. This was a pleasant surprise (just because it made things easier location wise). The Ranch was pretty central to everywhere we wanted to go during our stay. We took several hikes in Shenandoah National Park, kayaked down the Shenandoah River, and took a trail ride with the Ranch one morning. All in all, I would recommend River's Bend Ranch, and the Lodge in particular, to anyone wanting a peaceful visit to the Shenandoah Valley. I could have sat on the porch reading a book, watching the animals, and taking in the scenery for a long time!

Little paradise

Everyone had such a great time. Only wish we had stayed longer! It was the perfect location to disconnect and spend family time. Kids loved feeding the animals and horse back riding. They enjoyed the longhorns and having them outside our cabin. Every morning we woke to our littles gitty with excitement about all the animals they saw. Beds were comfortable too. Would say, if you have 6 its a good spot...8 is stretching it as there isn't enough room in the dining room or living room for that. Will definitely come back. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Short Getaway from DC

The Lodge was a very clean confortable cabin with lovely views of pasture, mountains and longhorns. Caroline and Carrie were very welcoming, helpful and so accommodating. We enjoyed a family horse ride, seeing the animals, and roasting marshmallows at the firepit. We will visit again! Thank you.

Perfect weekend getaway

Our family of 4 stayed in the Lodge which was perfect size, everything very clean and comfortable. Stunning sunsets enjoyed from the porch our first night and from around the fire pit our second night. Easy access to some beautiful hiking at Shenandoah NP and Massanutten, and a short but pretty loop right from the ranch down along the Shenandoah River. Would definitely recommend and we plan to revisit when the weather is warmer!

Wonderful cabin with dreamy landscape

We had such a relaxing and memorable time here! We stayed at the Lodge, which was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The furnishings made the the cabin feel warm and hospitable. We especially loved the view from the porch -- the cows, longhorns, and horses against beautiful green hills were just amazing, especially at sunset. We enjoyed using the fire pit and stargazing at nighttime. The proximity to the horse ranch and river trail were also a big plus! Only constructive feedback is that the picnic table is falling apart and needs to be repaired.

Lovely get-away!

My fiance and I came to Riversbend Ranch with our two friends to get away from the city and enjoy some hiking in Shenandoah National Park. The location was convenient to the park entrance and we were able to hike at Mary's Rock as well as White Oak Canyon and drive along skyline drive. What was even better was still experiencing the amazing views from our front porch after our hike. We brought all of our food with us, and took advantage of the fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed walking to the river on the property and soaking in the peaceful scenery from the front porch. At night, we were able to sit by the campfire and enjoy the view of the stars. It was an amazing place to come and spend some time away from the craziness of 2020 with some great friends. The staff at Riversbend Ranch were friendly, helpful, and truely made our stay enjoyable! Will be back.

Comfortable stay, great location

The cabin was very comfortable and convenient for hiking. The walk to the river is pretty quick, but was a bit of a challenge for my mother-in-law. The cows were a great entertainment for our toddler, but be aware of the electric fence lining the cabin's yard. We were able to babyproof the kitchen pretty well with some rubber bands on the cabinet handles, and by moving some stuff out of his reach. Internet worked but a little slow in places, so I wouldn't plan on streaming too much. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider it again.
