The Space:
Our large log cabin has all the comforts of home, just nestled away in the Shenandoah mountains. River Lodge is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or groups of friends – and is the perfect home base for your getaway!
The cabin includes:
- 2 bedrooms: one bedroom with a queen bed, and another bedroom with a double bed – plus a pull out sofa in the living room
- Fully-stocked kitchen with a fridge, stove/oven and microwave
- TV with a wide collection of DVDs for everyone to enjoy
- WiFi that's more than enough to stream movies and hold video calls
- Central heat and AC to keep you comfortable, no matter the weather
- Dog friendly - bring your furry best friend!
(Note: you’ll be renting the downstairs portion of the cabin that is accessed through the double doors at the top of the three steps in front of the house. The cabin is huge – and the upper portion of the cabin is not yet finished. Please do not walk up to the upper portion from the back or the front, or use the upper deck.)
Outside, you’ll also find:
- A large hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring
- Outside fire pit with seating for the whole gang
- EV charging station
- Kayak and canoe (and paddles) – available on the property for you to enjoy
But the best part about the cabin is its location: River Lodge is located directly on a 1,200 foot section of the Shenandoah River. When it’s warm, it’s perfect for swimming, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking. We have canoes, kayaks, and tubes for you to use too! There’s also great fishing (we’ve caught bass and channel catfish). And at night, we love dozing off listening to the sound of the river rushing by.
Note: River Lodge is part of a large private retreat, with three other small cabins on the property – about 150 feet away from River Lodge. You will likely see guests at the other cabins, and they may also be enjoying the river (and kayaks/canoes/tubes) during your stay. That said, the property is very large – so you should easily be able to find a quiet spot on the river to call your own. And of course you’ll have your own personal hot tub and, fire pit. The cabin has an EV (Electronic Vehicle) charger that you may use during your stay. There is an additional charge of $15 per stay. Please let us know if you would like to add this to your stay.
(By the way, the other three cabins sleep 2 people each – so if you’re looking to book a stay with a larger group, please contact us. Between River Lodge and the other two cabins, we can accommodate up to 11 people on the entire property.)
Lastly, beyond the cabin itself, we love how close we are to downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns – both just a 10 minute drive away. Beyond the caves (which we recommend you definitely check out), the town has fantastic breweries, restaurants, and shops for you to enjoy! And of course, you’re also just minutes from Shenandoah National Park – with amazing hiking trails and views!
It’s a lovely home in a beautiful location. Advertised as a 2 bedroom 2 bath. But second bedroom had no A/C and was hot so other couple slept on pull out couch. Also 2nd bathroom had NO hot water & the sink did not work. Also 1/2 the jets in hot tub did not work but that was fixed by maintenance the next day. Expected more for the cost. Great location though.
I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.
We had a great time at the property. Property is very clean, well decorated, great amenities. Wi-Fi accessible, but no cellular service with Verizon. (Switch your phone to allow wifi calling so you can get text messages, etc..). Beautiful views. Well maintained landscaping, and peace and quiet. Hot tub was awesome addition! Would definitely book again.
Start a fire by the water and plan on only needing the house to sleep. This is a picture perfect setting with tons of wildlife to sit back and enjoy. We absolutely loved it. There are other STR sites within eyesight so if all are booked it could be a little less secluded but when we visited, there were only 2 other sites rented and it still felt very secluded.
This is a great spot to either hang out and relax or head to the mountains for a hike! The space is clean, cozy and has a usefully stocked kitchen. One bedroom is quite a bit bigger than the other, but it can still comfortable sleep 4 (could feasibly sleep more on the pullout couch, but it would be tight). The location is amazing! The river and firepit are a lot closer to the house than it looks like in the photos and it's awesome. We had intended on hiking every day we were there, but the property was so inviting that we ended up spending a day just hanging out and enjoying the peace and quiet.
The host was responsive and the check-in process was smooth. The amenities were great (hot tub, fire pit, proximity to hiking trails). However, there were several issues reported that went unresolved during our stay. We had mold in the master bedroom, one bathroom didn't have a working shower, and the other bathroom had a clogged sink. It was difficult to share to half the working bathrooms among 5 people and one person had to leave early due to mold/health issue.
