**NEW for 2026**
We shutdown for three and a half months to finish our basement (aka the Game Room). We have early photos of our basement posted as of March 22nd 2026. Pictures of the game room accurately reflect what is in the finished space today (TV, Wet Bar Area and Small Table for Board Games). We'll update the listing as we add more to the space. This will add a new bathroom and three small locked storage rooms. The property and house are still for your exclusive use during your stay.

*******IMPORTANT **VRBO PROVIDED DISTANCES ARE NOT ACCURATE **IMPORTANT*********************

These are the correct distances:

Shenandoah River 5 to 10 min walk or 3 minute drive (NOT a 1 minute walk)

Shenandoah River State Park Main Entrance 15 min drive (NOT a 1 minute walk)

It will typically take longer to get to points of interest than the times listed by VRBO. Times may vary based on your walking and driving speeds

We have no control over the distances and information listed in the What's Near By , About the neighborhood and Explore the area. Please do not go by this if it's important to be near a listed point of interest. These are all AI generated based on our address and we cannot change the text in the descriptions or the arrival times for the points of interest.

[Disclaimer] Explore the Area -> About the neighborhood section this vacation home is in a rural area and on a river is AI generated . We are the closest home in the neighborhood to the river (10 min walk) but we are not ON the river.

Don't hesitate to send us a quick note if you have questions on what's near the cabin. I have the VRBO app on my phone and I can always respond quickly.
*************************
There are two fire places. One fireplace is in the main living area and the other fire place is in the first floor master bedroom. The fireplace in the master bedroom is shared with the private master bathroom.

The master bedroom has a TV, fireplace and it's own private bathroom. The private bathroom shares the fireplace with the master, has dual sinks, a bath tub and a shower

The upstairs features a full bath, two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is 'also a bonus loft which has a futon overlooking the downstairs areas.

******EV Charger****

We have a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 (40 A) for EVs. It has the SAE J1772 (non-Tesla) connection.

*******Hot Tub*******
We have a new hot tub. It's a 460 gallon Jacuzzi Brand Hot Tub. It's 91 x 91 x 38 inches, waterfall, 4 Stage filtration system, Dedicated Circulation pump, UV-C ray filtration. Smart Hot Tub functionality which runs hourly diagnostics and reports them back to the Hot Tub Maintenance company. Most low end rental hot tubs will be 76 inches x 66 inches and 32 inches deep. They will not have a dedicated circulation pump, UV-C ray filtration and if you are lucky a single stage filtration system. We were told not to put a hot tub like this in a rental but this is also our vacation home and we wanted the best!
*************************

**********FAQ**********
Do we need a 4x4
The roads are paved entirely except for our quarter mile driveway and the last half mile of state roads. My 2007 Ford Focus has no problem with these roads.

However, during a major snow storm (6 plus inches), AWD is helpful

Can I access the river through the HOA access point
Yes, the HOA access point is about a five to ten minute walk from the cabin. Additionally, there is the Bentonville Boat Ramp three miles up river. You can float from the Bentonville Ramp to our access point. However, you would need to provide your own water equipment (tubes, kayaks, life jackets). Our access point isn't well marked so remember to tie a bandanna at the exit point so you know where to get off!


Can we have an early check-in/late check-out
Early check-in possible if the night before is vacant; no late check-out (cleaners need five hours to clean the home).

What types of beds do you have
We have one king bed, two queen beds and a futon. The futon is on the upstairs loft and doesn't have much privacy. Probably best for a young child.

What do we need to bring to cook
We have a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils, cups, pots, plates, silverware, glasses and dishware.

Can we bring extra guests (beyond 6)
Our limit is strictly set by the HoA, County and State. These entities also test us by asking us to increase our limit and see if we'll violate these rules.

Do I need to bring firewood
Yes, you do need to bring your own firewood for the OUTDOOR fire pit. The fireplaces inside are gas and do not require firewood. Note that there are burn bans in Virginia from February 15th each year through April 30th. We ask that you respect those to protect our National Forest when they are in place(grill and fireplace use still permitted during burn bans).

Other things to note
- Internet: Starlink 50–100 Mbps

**PHONE**
AT&T gets an LTE connection here. Guests have reported that Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile also get a good connection. We also have a landline with free calling anywhere in the US.

**WATER**
The property uses both a well and a septic system. We enjoy drinking fresh water out of the well and we have a state of the art well filtration system that's serviced and tested by Culligan on a quarterly basis. Culligan if you haven't had it before tastes amazing!

    We enjoyed the fireplace every morning and evening. The kids loved the loft..their own space to play. Kitchen is equipped with everything we needed to put full meals on the table every night. And we used the fire pit twice for s’mores and family stories. Can’t wait to return!

    Nestled in the serene mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, this beautiful cabin provided a peaceful retreat. Within a half-hour’s drive, we were able to explore the northern and central regions of the National Park. The owner was incredibly responsive to our questions and provided quick answers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this cabin for future stays.

    Mark is the consummate host. Prompt, professional and thoughtful. The cabin is stunning inside and out. Extremely clean, well stocked, rustic yet modern in ways you’ll appreciate. All the comforts of home yet feels a world away. Can’t say enough good, would definitely stay again.

    The River Woods Retreat house was a lovely setting for our family getaway. It is surrounded by forest and you can enjoy the symphony of bird songs from inside or while relaxing on the large deck. Everything we needed was there and the mattresses were super-comfortable.

    We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin! The place itself is beautiful—spacious, well-equipped, and incredibly comfortable. The master bedroom and bathroom were both larger than expected, and everything was clean and thoughtfully prepared. One of the highlights was definitely the view—absolutely stunning—and the jacuzzi was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. We also did the Overall Run Falls via Thompson Hollow hike, which was just a short drive away and totally worth it. Highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway!

    I was beyond impressed with the host's instructions not only for the directions to the cabin but for local attractions, things to do, things to bring, and he even sent a whole list of troubleshooting every item in the house. The cabin was very clean and everything looked like the picture. The beds were comfortable and every appliance worked great! I would highly recommend this cabin for a peaceful getaway! Best communication from the host I have ever received.

    Cabin was ideal for our family of four, easy access to Shenandoah for hiking, would recommend the nearby kayak rental center as well to spend some time on the river. Communication with the host was excellent including all of the informative documents provided before our stay. Starlink internet was an added bonus.

    Our family was looking for a nice vacation and we had it! Everything in the listing is correct! The house was clean, it has everything you need to feel right at home! It was nice and spacious for all of us! The outside is amazing and the deck was amazing for morning coffee, mid day games, reading and just hanging out at night for watching the stars! Mark is such a great host and very easy to communicate with even before the trip! We highly recommend booking this property, no matter the season because it is that beautiful! ❤️
