9BR Riverfront Estate | Pool, Theater, Game Room, on Shenandoah River

Loved the space

Had an amazing family gathering! The house is really large, and accommodated us well. The layout makes the house feel a bit of a maze, and there is only one en-suite, but we found everything we needed! Two small issues- the top bunks in the 2-bunk room didn’t have railings so our kids were afraid to sleep up there, and the septic system caused some problem, but had great response from the owners and the maintaince personnel came out quickly.

Our Family really enjoyed the house, location, and especially the pool. More than enough room for everyone to have a space and relax. Loved the large dining tables, these enabled our group to eat together at one time.Management team responded quickly to all our concerns and issues.

After scouring vacation rental listings, my family of 17 decided on this property based on the pictures and reviews. Upon arrival, we were disappointed to find that the condition of the property did not match the listing photos and description. The property had been seriously neglected in almost every area. We had to contact the management company to come back out and clean/ replace the dirty bedding and begin replacing rotten boards on decking and screwing loose boards in the stairs. The landscaping is unkempt, the kitchen cupboards are missing doors or hinges, the dishwasher was not screwed in and tilts when you put dishes in it, the carpets and upholstery were stained and torn. The movie theater was torn up and dirty and no one wanted to go near it. The upstairs ac is not able to keep up with hot weather. There is no dustpan and the vacuum they had was filthy and smelly so we had a difficult time trying to clean. There was mouse droppings on the stairs inside and something dead under the house. The side yard has water leaking into it and lots of mud. The sinks and toilets were clean but the showers were missing tiles and had water damage around them. Management was responsive and negotiated the price to something more appropriate to the condition of the house. Despite everything, we enjoyed the location and the fire pit and still had a good vacation.

We had a wonderful time visiting the Shenandoah area while staying with extended family. We all had plenty of room both inside and outside and the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms allowed for comfortably while being away from home. The kids spent all of their time in the pool, while the adults had a great space in the outside area to enjoy late evenings.

Our extended family stayed at Paddlers Paradise for our Christmas get-together. We loved the house and had plenty of room for all 14 of us, with extra rooms to spare! We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Great.

We had an excellent time at this spacious home and fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the pool on site and having the access to the river on the property. Thanks for making our 2024 Family Vacation a success.

6 families with total of 7 kids (ages11-14) and 8 adults. The house is nice and big, the pool was great, and lots of room for kids to run around. The owner was very responsive before the trip and during. Overall we had a great time. Future renters might want to know that the lower level is the basement. Redone and decorated (with great a/c) but no windows in most rooms.

It was absolutely perfect for the 13 of us. The layout of the house was great. Everything was clean and well maintained. The outdoor space was amazing! It was such a peaceful place. We enjoyed our coffee on the front porch, swimming in the heated pool, grilling out, & sitting at the fire pit roasting marshmallows. But the highlight was definitely that river in the backyard! Not only was the view breathtaking, but the fishing hooked everyone. We found ourselves down there multiple times a day. The pool table, movie room and card tables were added bonuses. This is where you want to stay to reconnect with your family. We all stayed so busy interacting with each other that we were barely even on our phones. We would definitely stay here again!

Everyone had plenty of room to spread out. The pool table was a hit and because it was in a separate building it didn't disturb the older ones. The beds were very comfortable. The house needs some gutter repair.

Great property for a big group, loved the access to the river.

Enough room, no one felt crowded. Pool was fantastic, got to play in the river too. Loved the entertainment area, big garage door so everyone was included. Enough firewood for the the entertainment area and fire pit out back. We wish we could stay there again

The area was beautiful.
