Waterfront Retreat on the Shenandoah River 7 miles from National Park

This was my first booking with VRBO, so I wasn't sure what to expect. My kids grew up on a river, so this home brought back so many memories. The home is well appointed with anything you would need. It was clean. So many places to enjoy the outdoors. The best spot in the house is having coffee on the deck that has views of the river. Thank you for having us.

We really enjoyed our four days here. It was so peaceful that we decided to spend one day just hanging around. Very comfortable seating inside and out, including a nice screened in porch that I enjoyed every morning. The grounds are very nice and having to cross the street (with no traffic) to get there is no problem. The host was very nice and easy to deal with, the place was clean and the beds were comfy. The only negative is that the second bathroom is downstairs, but the stairs are pretty steep and could definitely use a handrail. I'm elderly and it made me nervous. However, I'd rent again in a heartbeat.

We had the best time relaxing and having family time together.

I hosted my 16 and 18-year-old nephews and one of their pals for the weekend. They all LOVED it - spent the entire time fishing - from the canoe provided and also wading through the water, which is from knee to chest-high. I woke up the first morning to see them already across the river, in the canoe and wading chest-high in the water fishing-rods cast, herons flying and 35 small ducks cruising by. These young uns normally do not rise until at least noon. Over the two days we only saw 3 other people on the river. It was so quiet. The house and grounds surpassed my expectations - it was just perfect.

We had an amazing stay. Never seen so much wildlife. Didn't even really need to leave the cabin to go find things to look at. The river was beautiful. Everything was as advertised. The host was very gracious. Would definitely stay here again.

Property was wonderful and location on the river was perfect. Frank was incredibly responsive and had lots of great tips on things to do locally. Fishing was great as was just floating down the river! House is fairly small but worked well for us. Would definitely come back

My family of 5 had the pleasure of staying in this home for several weeks. Communication when needed with the owners was superb. The house is absolutely charming and the pictures don’t begin to do it justice. Plenty of space for everyone and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you’d need. The views and access to the river can’t be beat. We loved watching the wildlife and enjoying the daily beauty of the Shenandoah River. The location is quiet and private while still being relatively close to the town of Front Royal. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a get away in the Front Royal area.

With a stunning view of the river, it is a very nice secluded retreat. The house is beautiful and comfortable.

Some friends and I rented the house for a weekend getaway to fish and hang out. There was a total of 9 of us and the property accommodated us easily. There are so many options for places to hang out once you are there; down by the river, on the back deck, or in the living areas if there weather is bad. And there is no shortage of beds for everyone. We did have an air mattress with us but didn't really need it because there was a futon. All in all the place was exactly what we were looking for.

We are so happy that we spent a few days in this property. Plenty of room in the house (4 bedrooms, a roomy kitchen & eating area, 2 full bathrooms, 2 living rooms, laundry room). There is also a large deck in the back, along with tables/chairs and a gas grill. Our favorite is the area by the river. Right across from the house, with a clean and roomy deck/stairs to the river. 1 canoe & 1 kayak available to use, as well as numerous life vests and water shoes. Specific area available for a camp fire, with logs to sit on around it. We got all the river experience we wanted here! Owner Frank is very helpful and friendly, always available to answer questions. Wi-fi available in the house. We would definitely stay here again when we go back to Front Royal/Shenandoah River!
