Come and experience your own piece of heaven at Heaven Can Wait River Retreat—a rare Shenandoah River property offering a private pool and two separate homes for the perfect balance of privacy and togetherness.

The property includes a charming log cabin and a light-filled pool house, together accommodating up to 10 guests, making it ideal for families or groups traveling together. The main cabin features a large yard and playground area perfect for kids to enjoy while adults relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.

Start your morning on the expansive wraparound porch of the log cabin, sipping coffee and listening to the birds. Spend the afternoon grilling for your group on the outdoor gas grill or gather around the fire pit to share stories and make memories. Kids can splash in the pool while adults unwind at the tiki bar.

If Mother Nature isn’t cooperating, no big deal—Heaven Can Wait River Retreat offers a spacious rec room complete with a ping pong table, cozy fireplace, and satellite TV at the main cabin, providing fun and comfort no matter the weather.

After a day on the river or exploring the nearby George Washington National Forest, unwind in the large, bubbling hot tub. Here, you’ll enjoy all the comforts of home while being surrounded by the natural beauty of the Shenandoah River.

    We decided at the last minute to get away for Christmas. Everything went smoothly. The wrap around porch is what sold us to pick this location. It did not disappoint. Kitchen was equipped for our holiday cooking. As advertised, WiFi is minimal. We found if you take the short walk to the river you can get what you need. We were able to get Netflix on our phones to watch Christmas Day football. We saw some wildlife on the gravel road, Billy goats, wild turkeys.

    We had an amazing time in Luray. The cabin was clean and the host went above and beyond to make our stay even more memorable. If we go back to luray we will be staying here.

    This house was great. We enjoyed the yard with the tether ball and playground for the kids, the hot tub was great, the ping pong table was fun for everyone, and we roasted marshmallows over the campfire. The river is literally steps away and made for an easy walk with the dog. Highly recommend!

    This was a great relaxing get-away for us. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows at the fire pit and sitting in the hot tub after a long day in Luray. In the mornings while sitting on the porch we enjoyed watching the deer come into the yard. The home was nicely appointed and clean. The beds were comfortable and the linens were fresh. We enjoyed the wraparound porch with so many rockers and chairs. It was lovely to relax in them while enjoying the scenery. The only negative we had was the bathtub could've used a rubber mat because one of our members fell while showering (no injury except for his pride). We didn't have any children with us but the playground, tetherball, and pingpong table would've been instant favorites.

    This was a beautiful cabin that is very remote ( it was about 14mi off the main highway, which about 6mi of the drive was on a gravel road, which was my only complaint) We needed to go back out twice while we were there and the gravel part of the road was not enjoyable. The cabin was very clean inside but could have used a wash down on the outside. The porch and hot tub area was pretty dirty.

    Pros: everything! It was all beautiful! Basement had a bedroom and upstairs had 2! 2 full baths and 2 kitchens! My kids loved it! Nice hottubCons: couldn't get DVD player to work, couldn't figure out the grill and the fireplace was out of order. The gnats and carpenter bees were sooo bad we couldn't go outside! It's also a 30 minute drive to the closet store all on a small back road!all dminute drive

    This was the perfect cabin especially with young kids. Our kids enjoyed the playground, short walk to the river, tetherball and fire pit to make s’mores. Inside was just as fun and comfy with darts and ping pong. We would highly recommend booking this cabin for a relaxing getaway!

    Highly recommend. We arrived late at night and we pleasantly suprised when we opened the doors to an amazing log cabin resort. The 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living and kitchen areas were clean and welcoming. Not only did we find basic supplies avaiable but it had many other needed items. The welcome basket was also a nice touch. The mattresses were a bit lacking but itherwise everything was perfect. Hot tub outside at night, rocing xhairs on the porch in the am, corkscrew have asked for more. The water is within walking distance, great for early morning quiet. The location is on a dirt road (6 miles ), so be prepared to clean your car after leaving. Communication from staff and agency was great before during and after. Definitely worth it. Hoping to get back there this year for some winter fun

    This place is beautiful! Perfect location if you like secluded but not too far away from things. About 45 minutes from Shenandoah which wasn’t bad at all. Shenandoah rentals were fantastic to deal with. Any questions I had were quickly responded to. The river was beautiful to walk down to. Definitely would stay there again!
