We are located on 16 private acres in Elkton, Va. We have lovingly restored and furnished a farm house originally built in 1905. It is nestled in between the Blue Ridge mountains and the Shenandoah river. Sleeps up to eight comfortably. There are 3 bedrooms, a family room with a reclining couch, Kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, and a utility room with washer and dryer. Enjoy grilling on the back deck after you and yours spend a day on the river fishing, tubing, canoeing, swimming or just relaxing. You can follow the path down to the Shenandoah River for fishing, swimming, and tubing! Your private riverfront hangout spot is over 800 feet long! We have two fire pits (one by the river and one beside the back deck) for a night of S'mores. You can even pitch a tent and sleep along the river!

Perfect Labor Day Stay
This property was perfect. We used the fire pit, watched thunderstorms from the porch, floated in the river, slept in the very comfy bed and had a perfect long weekend. I'd love to come back someday.

Great location
Family trip to see Shenandoah National Park. Property is perfect location to park and to Elkton. Private and secluded. My son fished every day and caught every day. Enjoyed the canoe as well. Washer and dryer super handy after all day adventures! Had a couple of things needed help with and the host was extremely responsive! Comfy beds and plenty of space for our family of 5 to spread out inside and outside!

A lovely river house
We had a wonderful time here! Everything was easy and relaxed. Close to a store for groceries, right on the river for daily, any-time swims, an easy drive to Shenandoah National Park. We would love to return here again.

Tough place to find when we arrived at night, but reading the reviews i knew this. I would recommend a sign at the "Y" in the drive way to point to the house. The house itself was very nice. There is definitely a smell of dogs in the house so if that is an issue, this may not be your place. I was not able to utilize the outdoor spaces or the river because of a storm. I was there for a JMU finction and it was in a great location, far enough yet close enough. Again the only issue is the dog smell, i would not return based off that alone. I am not a dog owner so do not care for it. However, like i said if this is not an issue, the place is great. Thank you for having us.

Shenendoah Escape
Two far-flung brothers and me, along with some adult offspring, met up for fishing and fun - great location and accomodations. Plenty of room for our crowd - river landing worked well for launching our craft to float and fish for smallmouth. Two porches and acres of yard to romp.

Disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with family
Beautiful property enjoyed by the whole family. Great yard for kite flying and great space to relax by the river. Firepit was enjoyed every night, and the big table in the family room was perfect for games and puzzle making. Location perfect for short trip to Luray Cavern, hiking in Shenandoah National Park and tubing down the river. We didn't want to leave!

Cute Farmhouse
What a cute farmhouse. It brought back so many memories of visits to my grandparents’ friends’ farm when I was a kid. We enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit and toasting S’mores. I especially loved watching the lightning bugs put on a show. We really appreciate everything you did to ensure that our “working vacation” was a success!

Serene setting within close proximity of adventures
Clean and comfortable home. Love the old farm feel with some modern touches. The views are great, and the property allows for different relaxation settings, be it on the back deck enjoying a fire and a meal, or playing ball on the grounds, or relaxing by the river. Watching the cows from the kitchen table during morning coffee was a great way to wake up. We even enjoyed the train, although if you are a light sleeper bring a device to play some white noise... and who does not love cocktail pac man arcade!

Little Reset and a Lot of Laughs!!
My girlfriends and I were in need of some Adult Girl Time! A place to just relax, reset and enjoy some piece and quiet while knowing we were just a few miles away from Civilization! This amazing little House was Absolutely EXACTLY what we all were looking for! We enjoyed the house and ALL it had to offer. Front Porch sitting during a rain storm. The river to wade and float in. The comfy house that made us feel at home while we played cards, laughed, had a few drinks and curled up on the sofa to binge some good ol magic inspired shows we all knew our husbands would hate!! Lol We enjoyed a day at the Caverns, a few wineries and had some AMAZING German food at a place called The Bavarian Chef located 40mins away down Windy mountain roads with views that just calmed our souls!! We all highly recommend this Amazing Home for a girls weekend, or even a romantic getaway! A family vacation and even a guys weekend of fishing, camping and grilling!! We all cant wait to come back and enjoy it all over again!! Thank you to the Hosts for sharing this little slice of Heaven for us all!!!

Great house!
This is a super cute renovated farmhouse. Our family of four really enjoyed the space and the outdoors around the house. The kids absolutely loved the little reading nook and the Pac-Man game. Plenty of space to sit down by the water, as well. The house is well stocked with everything we needed for our long weekend visit. We cooked simple meals most evenings and had ample pots, pans, and utensils. We went to the Shenandoah National forest for hiking during the day and spent afternoons and evening fishing and swimming. The walk down to the river has a nice path, and is shady and nice. Highly recommend bringing water shoes and bug spray in the summertime.

Oh Shenandoah!
What a lovely home on the Shenandoah River! With all the amenities of home, mountain views in front and back of the house, we were in heaven! Spent every day hiking in Shenandoah National Park with waterfalls and great views at every turn. Caught smallmouth bass in the river behind the house. Our dog loved the fields and trails. Right next to Harrisonburg and JMU, and five minutes from Massanutten where the kids drove go carts, tubed down a grass covered slope, and took a zip line down the mountain. Be sure to treat yourself to breakfast at Firebird Cafe and custard at Kline's Dairy Bar. Will definitely return!

Great farm house on the river
It was a great weekend before the start of school. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen (K cup coffee maker), was clean, and the pac-man game was a hit. There was plenty of space for the kids to run safely around. We didn't use the grill but did enjoy eating outside and having a fire in the fire pit off the porch. Bring your own wood. The shed had tubes, life vests, and oars for the canoe, which my family really enjoyed. The whole property was surprisingly mosquito free! We also were close enough to the water park at Massanutten and the White Oak Lavender farm in Harrisonburg for a good day out. It is farm country and there was an occasional smell of farm on the property, mostly during the hottest part of the afternoon. And although Google says the driveway connects to Captain Yancey road, it does not. the driveway just goes to a neighbor's house. thanks for the great weekend!
