Barney's Retreat- Rustic cabin on the river!

Scenery is amazing and the cabin had everything we needed

We had a wonderful stay! The property offered a real opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the Shenandoah River. It was peaceful and picturesque, with everything we needed for our getaway. We can't wait to come back!.

Barney's Retreat was great! Although it was winter and cold for our visit, we did get one sunny warmer day and we enjoyed sitting next to the river for a bit and listening to the river go by. The water is so clear! And the views up and down the river were very nice. We also loved the fireplace and hot tub for our winter stay :-) The cabin was very comfortable for me and my husband as well as my mom and dad. We had space to hang out, play some board games, cook dinners, and enjoy each other's company. There is no phone signal for verizon, but the wifi was good enough for us to connect to the internet for any online needs. Barney's Retreat is also close to Luray and we had a fun day exploring a few places around Luray as well! Do recommend.

We had a great getaway at Barney’s Retreat. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the river and lucked out with fireworks every night. Having easy access to the river even allowed us to get our usually anti-water golden retriever to wade in and she realized she actually enjoys the water!Location is about 20 minutes from downtown Luray and we enjoyed getting to explore with that area had to offer. Would recommend

Thank you for providing us with the ultimate peaceful getaway along the Shenandoah River. The cabin was perfect for our needs. It was fully stocked with kitchenware, towels and blankets. It even had a pantry with spices, cooking oils, coffee, tea and many many more condiments. It offered a selection of bathroom necessities as well that included soaps, and shampoos. The beds were very comfortable and the furniture was well kept and cozy. The screened in back patio was wonderful and included a hot tub for extra relaxation. The area was quiet and the river provided the perfect backdrop for fishing and water play. The location was close to town which had many great places to shop and explore!

We checked in during a deluge of rain and in our rush to get in, we tried the combination on the Kwickset touchpad lock, but the key is in a lock box with a combination. A call to the property manager got immediate response, and she was quickly able to figure out the problem and solve it. After that, we didn't have any problems that required help. The unit is small, 2 bedrooms, one kitchen-den-dining area, and a small bathroom. Nonetheless, it is comfortable and has what you need. The cookware set appeared like new, and it was great. I cooked eggs and bacon in the skillet that heated evenly with no sticking. We found everything we needed for cooking. The stove is old-school electric, and it was clean and worked fine. There is a small microwave and a toaster oven as well. The fridge was not modern, but it was clean and worked fine. The grill is a veteran Weber that uses charcoal. There were more than enough grill utensils, but some were rusted, possibly because they were on the back porch and may have been neglected for some time. The back porch, which is screened and looks out on the river, is where we spent lots of time. The screen door is beat up, but we didn't have a bug problem. There is a nice table and comfortable chairs and a hot tub, which was clean and worked well. You will go in and out for activities, often wet and dirty, so the porch is well-used and rustic. In summary, the unit is rustic, comfortable, and well-equipped.

We really enjoyed our stay. Cute, quiet cabin with all the necessary amenities. The river view is perfect and so relaxing. We spent the majority of our stay just floating in the river watching the canoers and kayakers float bye. The cabin is about 20 min from the town with plenty of places to eat and find a drink. The hot tub was great addition to the evening. We visited the caverns on the way out of town, a must see!

Me and my wife booked this place and it was by far the best place we’ve stayed at. The place was super clean and well maintained ! I loved the fact they had board games and card games for us to enjoy while staying there plus other nice features ! Definitely will be booking in the future when we visit Shenandoah again with no hesitation !

We had a fantastic and relaxing time at this property. We were able to check in early and were able to relax after a rough day in the clean hot tub! Fantastic communication with the property owners and managers! We had such a great time we have recommended the accommodations to friends and family.

The property was very clean and homey. It had a beautiful view and the hot tub was amazing . We will definitely be coming back!

rustic cabin with very small bathroom, but the property more than made up for it.

A cute little house in the water. Beautiful view and quiet location.

We came to stay for our anniversary and really loved everything. Clean and perfect size! Hot tub was clean. The power did go out once, but only for maybe 20 minutes. Good information was left in the guest info book. Only two things I would note is that the shower is very smell, and if you’re sensitive to scented detergent, I would bring your own bedding. It wasn’t all washed in something scented, but something was enough to notice. Check in/check out was super simple. We will definitely come back in the future :)

This was our 2nd time staying at Barney's retreat and our 2nd time being completely amazed. The home was clean just as before, and as peaceful as before!!

This cabin is so cute and a perfect stay for a winter getaway or summer escape! It’s very small and cozy but still comfortable with good quality appliances and amenities, and the hot tub is wonderful! The hosts were very communicative and gracious, and the property is located on a lovely private stretch of river while still being close to town! They provided all of the firewood we needed, and the cabin was a very comfortable stay. We will definitely be coming back in the summer!

We had a great long weekend here. It was everything we wanted and more.this place is nice because of the beautiful views. one level and easy access to river. Well equip kitchen.

Overall this place is nice because of the beautiful views. Pros: views, one level and easy access to river. Well equip kitchen. Cons: Only pile of wet wood under a tree, not any wood in wood shed. They did drop the firewood charge. There is a firewood charge. Could not use the jacuzzi during our stay as stuff in it. Management company did offer to have it drained but we were there only a few days and wanted the privacy. Definitely not looking as nice as the pics but if you want a nice private place to hang out this is it. Nothing to do with the owners but the overall fees and cleaning deposit etc., doubled the cost of our stay.

We absolutely loved this little cabin! Just my husband and me for our anniversary trip. Definitely the most well stocked kitchen with cutlery, good pots and pans, etc. plus plenty of spices. Right on the river! Only 20 minutes from wal mart and grocery stores but really out there to get the secluded feel we were looking for. Right down the road from Shenandoah River Outfitters. We did the rafting on the river adventure. We hope to be back very soon!
