Dreamy riverfront home with sandy beach, hot tub, fire pit, kayaks & fishing

The outdoor surroundings of the cabin were truly beautiful, and the recreational amenities provided for enjoying the river were a wonderful touch. However, the interior of the cabin was not well-maintained and required significant cleaning and attention.There were numerous cobwebs and spiders throughout the house, including around the windows both inside and outside, and several types of insects were present indoors. The bedding — including sheets and pillow covers — appeared old and stained, which made the sleeping areas feel uncomfortable. Additionally, the air conditioning and heating system seemed to need servicing, as the cabin remained quite cold during our stay.Overall, while the natural setting and outdoor amenities were lovely, the interior of the cabin would benefit greatly from a deep cleaning, maintenance, and proper upkeep to ensure a more comfortable experience for future guests. Unfortunately, due to the lack of cleanliness inside the house and bedrooms, we were unable to fully enjoy our stay. We would not rent this property again and would not recommend it to families with young children or anyone who values cleanliness and proper maintenance.

Absolutely awesome location. Had everything we needed and the backyard right on the river with the fire pit was a huge bonus. They provided all the wood needed to have the best fires. Incredible and relaxing. A stone through from so many awesome Shenandoah National forest trails too. Great access to gas/groceries less than 3miles away of need. This place is a lovely gem!!! Truly lovely

Great place to stay for a family reunion

Check in was a breeze! Nice old farmhouse with modern feel. Kitchen is well stocked! We had a couple of issues with furniture and ac units on the second floor not cooling well but maintenance came out and responded within an hour. Just a note if you’re staying in the summer. A/C for the second floor is window units in the hallway. They cool the two beds fine if you leave all the doors open. Good for a whole family but if you’re looking for two private bedrooms you won’t have them with A/C. First floor and basement beds are good, cooled with central unit. Lots of kayaks and floats for the river. Hot tub is new, but barely fit four adults, take a number.

My Family and i really enjoyed our stay. The house accommodated all of us with no problem. They had everything you needed to enjoy the River and have a great time at the property. I would definitely recommend staying here. The only thing that i have to say negative about the property was that there was an extremely overwhelming amount of spiders! I expected bugs but there was so many. My brother luckily works in pest control and brought spray with him and treated and cleaned away the webs but other than that we had an amazing time and would come again.

The size was ideal for our family, the location on the water was great. The upstairs bedrooms did not stay as cool as the rest of the house, the window units were a bit lax. The rest of the home was central air so stayed cool. Overall, would recommend unless there is an extreme rainstorm. Due to the lack of gutter/spout maintenance the basement rooms had water running in that made towels useless. The plus was within an hour people were sent to take care of the issue. The consensus of the family is we would return:)

Thousands of dead gnats we had to sweep up. 2 kayaks sunk due to cracks on the bottom of them. Shed was locked first day so kayaks could not be used. Video game broken. Popped balloon fell out of vent on kid, kind of gross. Could be great. Very picked up but definitely not clean. Owner very dismissive of concerns.

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed our time together. The kitchen is well stocked, there is sufficient counter/shelf space for groups. It was nice to have a washer/dryer to use if necessary. The kids enjoyed the game console in the basement (not the same one as pictured) However, there were multiple things we were disappointed with. The home was not clean. The hot tub had dirt in the bottom and dead bugs on top. The cover to the hot tub had spider webs on it and was dirty. The patio furniture on the lower level is not as pictured in the listing. The outside trash containers had not been emptied when we got there. There was dirt/bugs indoors, on the walls, and the floor. The screened in porch had many spider webs/bugs on the inside. The upstairs does not stay cool with the window air conditioner units. Thankfully, it cooled off at night outside, so the upstairs was bearable. But the window units are in the hallway/bathroom, so the bedroom doors have to stay open if you want air-conditioning at night. The river was fairly high because of recent rain, and there was no beach area, just mud going down to the river. The bank going down to the river is very steep. This should be mentioned in the listing.For the price we paid, I would expect more, it should at least be clean. We all live in the country and realize bugs/dirt is a reality, however, the dirt and bugs that were inside/in the screened in porch had been there for awhile. Be aware of this when renting this property.

My extended family of 10 stay for the week. With 5 active kids ages 9-12 there was plenty of kayaks, tubes, and canoes for them to use. The river is calm in front of the house. Yes the hill to the water is steep but it wasn’t an issue for any of us. The porch rocking chairs on the screened porch was wonderful for drinking coffee and watching the river every morning. There’s a stack of firewood for the fire pit which is nice of the host to supply along with sticks (in the kitchen) for roasting marshmallows. A note about the bunk beds, it is in the basement and the ceiling is low, kids cannot sit up in the bed so none of our kids slept in the top bunks, but as far as a place to sleep it works. The gazebo in the back is a nice addition.

This place was perfect for a family celebration. We had a great time relaxing around the fire pit in this laid back environment.
