-Please note: YOU CANNOT SEE THE RIVER FROM THE HOUSE. Due to the flood plain in the area, all houses along this side of the river are built back from the river's edge. There is a large yard in between the house and the river and you cannot see the water from where the house is. We leave the canoes down by the river's edge so that you don't have to carry them back and forth.



Some other things to note about Bear Bluff:



- The base rate includes 4 guests. Each additional guest is $30 per night. Please read the itemized charges carefully!



- Please note: The optional firewood charge of $10/night is for firewood. If you don't think you will use the firewood or would like to bring your own, please let us know! We are more than happy to refund that to you.



- Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 am. Early check-in or late check-out may be available, ask us!



- Dogs are welcome! There is a limit of 2, with a pet fee of $65 per dog. Unfortunately, we can't accept cats. Sorry about that!



-There is no trash service in this area. We ask that you please take your trash with you- there is information in the cabin on where to go to take it so that you don't have to take it all the way home with you! Alternatively, housekeeping can remove it for you for a tip of $5 per bag.

    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!

    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.

    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.
