Luray, Virginia
Turn off your computer, set down your smartphone. Reconnect with nature and loved ones in the Shenandoah River Valley at The River House.
Enjoy your morning coffee watching wildlife on the river. Listen to the flow of water and the breeze in the trees. The Massanutten mountain range is in the distance, plan a hike. The river is at your feet, watch it go by or get in and get wet! Hang out on the porch, read a book, enjoy the fresh air.
The firepit is ready and waiting to make s'mores. The moon reflects on the river, locusts sing their song as you burn your marshmallow. Sit back and relax. Enjoy the evenings gathered with your friends/family around the warmth of the fire.
Everything is here, at The River House, to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Come! We'd love to share our little piece of the river with you.
We are 2 hours west of Washington DC in Luray, Virginia.

The house was perfect for our family. Plenty of room and clean. It was great waking up to the views of the river and mountains. Just a short drive to Luray caverns. The host was very responsive and helpful. Would stay again.
This was our second visit to The River House and we had a great get away. The house is well equipped with all you need. Anne is very gracious and quick to respond to questions. This is a good choice for a very relaxing adventure.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and well stocked. All of the amenities listed were available. The location is amazing! The river and property were awesome. Every meal we were able to eat on the screened in porch and enjoy our time outside.
Perfect place for a family to enjoy the river and nature.
My family has been vacationing in Luray since I was a child; we LOVE the area! We had a nice stay (loved the space, all of the board games, a beautiful view), but did have some issues. 1. The pictures in the listing showed a hammock. It sounds like such a silly thing, but we always stay in a rental with a hammock because it's my husband's favorite thing! We found out once we got to the rental that the hammock was damaged last year and never replaced, but the listing pictures were not updated. We should have asked in advance. 2. Temperature. Upon arrival, we learned that the house must be set at 71 degrees or warmer in the summer. Not a big deal, but it was set at 66 degrees when we arrived - make sure you check the thermostat upon arrival so that you don't get charged for an HVAC callout if the unit freezes! Also, while the living room was very comfortable, the bedrooms got considerably warmer during the night - you may want to leave the doors open. 3. Cleanliness/Safety: We noticed small cleanliness issues during our stay - cobwebs near the game table, an old contact lens on the living room floor, etc. We're not super picky about cleanliness, so this wasn't a bother. But, when we were packing up on our final day, we found a prescription pill under the bed my daughter slept in. My daughter is old enough that it wouldn't have been a dangerous situation for us, but I hate to think of what could have happened if a small child had found it! An unfortunate end to our stay.
Anne’s house was the perfect getaway for my family. We lived on the screened in porch and just loved sitting out there and watching the river go by. The kayaks and tubes gave us some fun water activities. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed and there was an expansive living room for our toddler to play in safely. I highly recommend and we’d like to return soon!
Beautiful place with plenty of room outside for spreading out. Fishing was good and listening to the rapids and betting if the next person will make it thru without getting stuck was quite entertaining. House was very well stocked, only need your clothes and food. Would definitely stay there again, right on the river!!
We had a wonderful stay at the river house! We were between many similar properties and we chose this one based on all the great reviews and they did not lead us astray. It's a wonderfully spacious place, well stocked and just really tranquil. The owners also went above and beyond when there was a brief power outage, beyond having all the necessities available at the house in case of an outage they also gave us a refund, which was not necessary but very nice.
This was the perfect place to spend a long weekend. The host was great, and answered all our questions quickly. The house was clean and well stocked. The house is on a great stretch of the Shenandoah river. We will definitely be back.
We were in the area to visit the National Park, and this was a great spot to return to and unwind after spending the day hiking. We loved the quiet spot along the river, the fire pit, the kayaks. A great family vacation spot!
This was our 2nd stay at the River House, our now Anniversary favorite. Awesome place to get away and unwind. Always clean and has everything you need. All you need to bring is food.
Super relaxing place on river. Great views. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, perfect porch. Loved it!
We had a wonderful stay, everything you need to enjoy the river is at the house. Very quiet and private location.
Staying here was an absolute delight. The small thoughtful touches (like a bottle of ketchup in the fridge) were so appreciated. This particular section of river had everything our group needed. We had such a good time that a few family members are already suggesting that we skip the beach next year in favor of the river. Important: listen when Anne says to wait until the second turn! I foolishly listened to Google instead and phew, those potholes!
We LOVED our stay at the River House! Can’t beat the view, just amazing!
Perfect Perfect Perfect. Very active and responsive host. Property is beautiful and so is the river (of course)!!!
We loved our stay at the River!
This rental had everything we needed for our vacation. The owner was very responsive.
My family really enjoyed our stay at The River House! Anne had everything we could possibly need at her place. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, sheets were glorious (I made sure to look at the brand so I could order some). Rooms were perfect sizes for what we needed. The screened in porch was my favorite part, being able to sit outside and listen to the river and small rapids near by along with nature sounds was just perfection! We enjoyed the Caverns, fishing off the bank (my Husband caught 5 small mouth bass) and we also went rafting, which we weren't expecting to do, but was so much fun! Anne, again, THANK YOU so much for letting us stay at your place, we look forward to having another stay at the River House! The Lents
