Historic Riverhouse w/ riverview! Privacy and seclusion! Steps away from River!

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Private river access!

Want to get away from the big crowds? Now is the time to stay in this beautiful home. The only crowds you will see here are the cattle that graze the pasture with nearly 25 newborn calf running and playing in the field! (Cattle are rotated and are not in this pasture 100% of the time.) Bring the family and enjoy some downtime while taking in the beautiful 360 degree views of the mountains. So many things to see and do, without the crowd. Historic River House is nestled on the beautiful Shenandoah River with a spectacular year round river front view and private boat dock with a included canoe and optional paddle boat rental. Located at 7910 Farm Lane in Elkton, Virgina 22827. River house is decorated in an Early American Colonial Theme with many antiques and period decor. Enjoy the mountain and river views while relaxing in the hot tub, or from one of two covered porches. Vacation in style while having the full features of a home at your finger tips. Explore the river or the nearby national parks, all at your own pace.
River house is a great place to relax. Enjoy a local hike along the river walking along a well worn path or venture into town for shopping and dining. The Shenandoah National Park is also very close by and offers many recreational opportunities.

Peaceful retreat

Lovely property. We enjoyed the morning sunrises over the pasture! Great location- close to skyline drive and the caverns but far enough away for peaceful relaxation. Check in was easy and accommodations were great. Highly recommended.

Great Location

Great spot to gather with friends. Grilling, campfires, and canoeing. We were able to sleep 4 adults and 4 kids (9, 11, 11, 16) comfortably. Easy access to Shenandoah. Surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farmland. Short walk to the water's edge. Host was very accomodating and solved a couple small issues promptly.

Great vacation!

We enjoyed our stay! Great location! Quite & relaxing time! We enjoyed the hot tub and had a great time finishing on the river. Our only suggestion would be to put a picnic table down at the river for guests to enjoy.

7 people - No complaints

We had a great time staying here. It was close to many of the things we wanted to do and very peaceful (except for the train activity across the river). The dock had been wiped out by river flooding (our host was very apologetic and informed us that a new one was in the works for future guests) but was still able to enjoy the river. The walk to the river is not far, however it is on a slight incline through the cow pasture so be prepared. The house had just about everything you would need to make your stay a good one. We traveled with 7 people and not one complaint!!

Perfect weekend away

The river house was the perfect setting to kick off spring break for our kids. We brough our dogs who were as happy as could be chasing balls through the yard and watching the cows in the pasture. My husband and kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and taking a trip down the river in the canoe. And we all enjoyed evenings soaking in the hottub. So much beauty to soak in throughout the valley and this location was absolutely delightful. Thank you for letting us stay!

Great house mins from Massanutten

Great location. DARK at night. Secluded. Comfortable house. The one bath is in the first level, so if you have to use the bathroom at night you have to walk down some steep steps. Otherwise, good property. I’d definitely stay there again. Property manager was very nice and helpful.

Quiet get-away house

This house was well cared for, very clean & creatively decorated. It had a nice homey feel with many nice touches such as 2 covered porches (perfect for any day, but especially when it rains), loads of historic paintings, drawings, etc of George Washington, Lafayette, Thomas Jefferson & other founding fathers. A very nice private hot tub, great view of the Shenandoah River & cows coming right up to the fence. We really liked this setting in the small town of Shenandoah on a 200 acres farm. Very private. You won't be disappointed.

Rustic charm!

We were looking for a few quiet, relaxing days, and that was exactly what we got. The property is rustic and simple, with a beautiful view of the Shenandoah river. The property is well kept, with a grill, fire pit and hot tub. The decor is beautiful antique. We greatly enjoyed relaxing in the sitting room, talking and reading. I walked around the house and used Google lens to identify the portraiture throughout the house; very interesting! The swift run gap entrance to skyline drive is right up the road, making for an easy trip to hike and see waterfalls. It's far enough out from big cities that the night sky was magnificent. Definitely keeping this one for future visits.

Awsome place in a great location

My wife and I got the family together(including the dog) for my fiftieth birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Started our vacation with beers by the fire pit. Went to bed in surprisingly large bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Woke up in the morning, had breakfast in the well equipped kitchen and walked down to the river for a little fishing. Cleaned up, hit some attractions that were a short drive away, and repeat. Who could ask for more. The House was clean, well furnished and nicely decorated, didn't get to use the hot tub, maybe next time and there will definitely be a next time. Thank you, my family and I really had a enjoyable and memorable time. Thanks, Bob

Lovely Home

We enjoyed the serene landscape surrounding the home and we were supplied with most everything we needed. The decor is charming! We never could find the little path to the river that is shown in one of the photos. All we saw was a large uncut field and when we walked up to the river there was a 2-3 foot drop-off. Even if it hadn't been raining we weren't sure how we would have gotten the canoe down to the water. The only docks we found belonged to other homes. Might want to include a sketch of where to go for river access for future guests. Thanks
