Fishing enthusiasts will delight in the plentiful opportunities along the river, with a public landing and parking nearby for convenient float trips back to the property.
While the Shenandoah River typically enchants with its pristine allure, occasional rainfall in the area may temporarily affect water quality due to runoff and sediment. Although unpredictable, rest assured that such occurrences are natural and fleeting.

While staying at River Nest, anticipate the occasional passing freight train, adding a touch of charm with its low rumble and wheel squeaks. Light sleepers may notice some vibration, but rest assured, there's no whistle to disturb your peace.
Come experience the magic of River Nest and create memories that will endure a lifetime.

Beautiful view from the home. Kitchen is well stocked, super prompt responses from owner. Will definitely return !!
Beautiful property. They have everything you need to enjoy the outdoors. It’s pretty clean and cozy. The goat was nice and responsive. The decor is a bit outdated. We didn’t have the best internet connection and I was unaware that you have to leave the main house to go to the second bedroom downstairs. Overall a beautiful property. I would love to try again when the weather is warm so we could enjoy the river.
We loved staying here-it was perfect! Everything was clean and the host was so friendly/helpful! Location was great. The cabin was so nice and comfortable! Will be back!
Nice cabin, nice lot, nice area, river is nice right out front, we caught a lot of small mouth just buy wading.
We live this place. The owner is excellent. Left us a small basket of goodies for our anniversary and always has been available for questions. Great small mouth fishing in the Shenandoah river right across the street on the property. The place is quiet, we usually see deer on the property and it is a great place to get away from the rat race.
House was amazing, well stocked and great location. Kids went rafting and fished. Loved fire pit area. We will definitely stay again.
This was the perfect property for a weekend away. Lots of things to do close by. We hiked Shenandoah National Park during the day and came back and fished/played in the river in the evening.
It was the perfect few days/nights at the house. Close to SNP and Luray Caverns. The river out front was great to relax by and tube down. Everyone in my party 17/18 year olds and 45 year olds had a wonderful time. Highly recommend.
We spent a few nights here while exploring the Shenandoah National Park. The property is reasonably close to the park and Marc provided helpful information about getting to the park and things to do while there. The property is clean and comfortable and very well stocked. The bottom floor is completely separate from the upstairs. You have to exit outside and climb stairs to get to the other floor. We have young children so navigating locking them in at night and unlocking them in the morning took some adjusting to but it ended up being fine. And the property itself is so beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed every evening with dinner on the outside deck over looking the river and then moved down to the fire pit right by the river and roasted marshmallows and watched fireflies and just unwound. It was magical! Thank you for allowing us to stay Marc! We enjoyed it very much.
The house and property was wonderful. The setting was perfect for our weekend. A very beautiful property.
We had a fantastic stay in River nest. The property is very clean and well designed. We mainly visited Shenandoah National Park. Our host Marc was very good with communication. We had no problem finding the property . The second bedroom with bathroom can only accessed from outside so that was a not perfect for us as we have little kids , so we used the sofa bed instead which is good as well. During summer months the downstair separate bedroom with bath can be great for quick access to the water. Overall we had a fantastic stay . The property was clean and well kept.Marc and the brochures provided us with information about ‘things to do’ where to eat etc. Thanks !
We have stayed twice now and the property is great. You can walk right down to the Shenandoah river. Close to Luray caverns and the Shenandoah national park. House has everything we needed.
My family and I been to this home before and love it more every single time, I was blessed to celebrate my birthday with my friends and grill a nice Friendsgiving meal. Thank you Marc for being an incredible host and always providing everything needed and more
We had a great time. The cabin is clean and cozy I will come back again. The view of the river is very nice
We had a great stay at this property. We spent most of our time in the park, but it was wonderful to wake up to the river and all the fall colors. Would absolutely stay here again.
Exceeded our expectations
Perfect river and mountain getaway cabin!
We love it here, so peaceful and clean. Definitely a nice get away for a weekend
It was a great family trip. Felt like the days weren't long enough bc there is so much to do. Everything was nice. We absolutely loved the back deck at night an in the early morning. So many peaceful sounds at those times. We even saw a black bear run across the road. Would go back for sure.
Very peaceful area. Cabin is stocked perfectly for and escape to nature. Having the river just down the driveway was the best of all.
We had a great time staying at this property. The views were lovely and the house was clean and was exactly what we wanted. We saw deer, birds and bunnies. Marc was very responsive when I had any questions and gave suggestions about the area. Close to the park and only a couple hrs drive even to D.C. Mama Mia's has great pizza and delivers.
Attractive, comfortable, and well-located.
The house was great. The homes was stocked with everything we needed. Location was awesome. We loved it. Would definitely book again if we ever come back to the area!
Place was better in person! Perfect place to unwind after a day at Shenandoah National Park. Very well equipped kitchen with choices, regular or Keurig coffeemaker, charcoal or gas grill… Owner kept in touch and left great suggestions in house of things to do and see. Will definitely come back in fall to enjoy fall leaves.
What a beautiful and cozy home, the location and surroundings gave me the most beautiful feeling when waking up and having my morning coffee. We had everything we needed in the house for cooking and feeling comfortable. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to return!
This is a great little cabin! Very clean and the property manager gave us everything we needed to have a great stay!
Beautiful riverfront cabin and location for a peaceful break to unplug from hectic schedule. The cabin was well stocked with everything you need. Cute decor and a beautiful view of the river from deck. Grocercy store and Walmart close by to pick up anything you may need. Great restaurants within a short drive. Close to caverns and Skyline Drive. Definitely hope to return in warmer months to take advantage of river. Very responsive owner that was a pleasure to deal with.
