Bear Bluff- pet friendly home on the river!

Warm, Cozy, Quiet, and Peaceful

Please replace the mattresses.

This house is old and needs repair. Ie the hot tub was not functional. A few things broken and lots of bugs! However, those were discussed with property manager and they made it right. They were quick to reply and communicate with us. If you can get past the fact that it is an older cabin, the stay was otherwise good. It is in a neighborhood on gravel road but very private and quiet and serene, which was nice. They accept pets and our dog loved the huge yard and the river front which is a walk, but not that far, from the house. The house is quirky and has cute touches to it such as art work and some cabin decorations (ie bear themed outlet covers). We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit (did not use the one by the river or the provided kayaks). The basement with game room was nice and would be great for families. Lots of games as well. The bunk bed downstairs is a tad small for an adult but would be great for kids. The kitchen was well stocked (bring your own matches or fire starter if you want to use fire pit or indoor fireplace.) and we were able to cook meals comfortably. There’s no ice machine or water from the fridge but the water from the sink tasted just fine! The back screened porch is nice but will be nicer when they fix one of the screens. They provided a lot of towels and per products and linens which is always helpful. It seems there are someHiking trails around but we ventured to skyline drive and some other places that were only 20-30 minutes away.

Nice quiet getaway!

WINTER REVIEW: Location was convenient to Luray Caverns and Shenandoah national park. Cabin was cozy and the Christmas decor was a nice touch- felt very homey and lived in! Beds were comfortable if you are sleeping solo or for kids but when my husband and I both layed in the bed we rolled to the middle like a taco (I don't think the frame is offering the right support). I would also recommend bringing your own pillows. Otherwise, well stocked with towels, extra bedding, kitchen supplies, etc. We loved the hot tub and access to the river was a football field walk across the yard and so beautiful! From the cabin itself there are no window views of mountains or the river. The best view is sitting on the porch by the hot tub and it was lovely watching the sun set. The wood provided was wet so we were unable to use it but there was plenty of burnable wood we were able to scavenge from the woods to utilize the firepit! Great stay for a quick winter getaway!

Great place. Roomy. Fireplace. Responsive mgmt. Short walk to river. Nice kitchen.

The home was clean. There were a few things that need attention but they didn’t get in our way of enjoying our stay. Pros: The neighborhood was quiet, fireplace and hot tub were great, we seen plenty of deer, and it wasn’t far from places to go. Cons: the beds were uncomfortable and noisy, the bottom oven didn’t work, and there wasn’t enough wood for 2 nights and a fire outside. The note on the fridge to call for more wood was camouflaged with all the other notes and we didn’t see it until Sunday. Overall it was a nice stay. I feel the cons stood out enough for me to note, but not enough to ruin our stay.

Perfect place to go with the boys for a weekend fishing trip. Comfortable accommodations, well appointed kitchen. Clean. Private river access. Great game room.

Exactly the weekend we needed. The house was clean, the property was beautiful and the river was so relaxing. We will be back for sure!

Overall the stay was nice. The game room was definitely a favorite for the teens. The walk down to the river was a easy gentle walk. I was just disappointed that I could not see the view from the living room due to the orientation of the house. We visited in December and it was to cold to sit on the porch.

This was a really nice stay, and fit the bill for our crew. The fireplace and firepit were great, and the walk down the property to the water was beautiful. There were a few things that seemed like they needed some attention though. Both screen/storm doors didn’t latch easily, which means they banged around in the wind. The hot tub was great, but likely needs more regular cleaning. The beds were also VERY squeaky and creaky in both rooms, and blinds in multiple windows were messed up. That said, would stay here again. The living spaces were great, and the host was super responsive throughout our stay.

My husband and I wanted a secluded cabin in the woods for a weekend birthday getaway. We chose this place based on the reviews and the pictures. So, I feel the need to write this review. The deck and front screen door are in need of repair. The door hangs open and I'm guessing that's why there are so many stinks bugs, dead and alive, in the home. The hot tub did not work, it took my husband an hour to get it going. A not so handy person might not have such luck. The beds were so uncomfortable, I did not sleep. Even the couch was worn down and uncomfortable. Lastly, the lawn was very high. It probably wasn't cut for a while. I know these things might have been remedied if I reached out, but these parents wanted privacy for the little time we had away. All in all, we made the best of it. Just happy to be together, but it was the first time I was disappointed in VRBO rental. And we've used these services a lot.

Nice amenities!!!
