Our Shenandoah getaway

Loved our stay and hikes in the local mountains. Highlight was roasting sausages and marshmallows for s'mores over a fire in the large fire ring along the river. Hosts were wonderful.

Overall we had a great stay. The house was plenty big for all of us. Our kids loved the access to the river behind the house. We had an issue with the lock and they responded quickly and fixed the issue.

Great getaway!

This is a very nice house with a lot of space and privacy. It was peaceful drinking coffee on the back porch while watching the deer graze. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting the area

Family vacation

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay by the river. The area is beautiful! Sadly it rained and flooded the river so we only got to enjoy swimming/fishing for 1 days, but we had lots of fun hiking the Shenedoah mountains and exploring the nearby areas. Our kids enjoyed fishing in the pond as well. Lots to do in the area with lots of delicious food and coffee options! We definitely recommend this place.

Spacious and beautiful views

We enjoyed our stay in this property. The children had fun exploring the pond and river. We enjoyed morning coffee in the sun room, listening to the birds and watching the deer graze in the field. You can enjoy a beautiful starry night sky away from the city lights. The owners were very attentive and very quickly responded to our requests.

River Valley Country Escape

Pleasant getaway amongst hay fields with river access—we enjoyed the country feel—watching the deer—splashing in the river—and very close to hikes, historic sites, groceries, and places to eat. The kids loved exploring, playing foosball, and fording the river. The hay fields were cut while we were there. The scent of fresh cut hay brought back fond childhood memories. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful spacious home

Our family enjoyed our stay here. The home is really beautiful and nicely decorated. It’s spacious, clean and on a large plot of land. It’s great for a family where you can spread out and not get in each other’s way. There’s a wraparound deck you’ll love. The location is a bit remote, but not far from downtown Strasburg. Highly recommend this rental.

The Duck Blind

The overall experience was very good with a beautiful view and activities for the family. We were visiting my daughter in the area so its proximity and cost were great and comparable to hotel costs or cheaper but with much more space. The only big detractors was that the water smelled like sulfur. This was a bit of a big deal for some of the family but we managed fine.

Beauty in the Shenandoah

We are a group of Civil War reenactors that were in town for the Battle of Cedar Creek reenactment. The house and property are beautiful and clean. There was a small issue with the electricity that was resolved quickly. Some of the outside lights (dusk/dawn light above main stairs) didn’t come on. Overall, we highly recommend this house and property. The gorgeous location and beautiful house make for a great getaway.

Wonderful country getaway

Well furnished, spacious, clean 4 bedroom house. Beds and linens were luxurious. Kitchen is well stocked with equipment and basic cooking needs. Lovely porch area and gameroom. House is very rural with access to nearby river. Basic stores and restaurants 15min away but Shenandoah and Luray are 30-60min away due to small roads. Host very responsive to questions. No wifi and pretty limited cell service when we stayed. Would visit again.
