Rivergreen Cottage-"Off The Grid"-WALK TO RIVER!! Solar Powered!

Welcome to Rivergreen Cottage!

Leave the complexities of modern life behind and enjoy the simplicity of our off-the-grid Rivergreen Cottage. Perfect for those who love camping but prefer a little extra comfort, this cosy retreat offers a unique opportunity to unplug, unwind, and experience the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Please note-if you are not a nature lover, this property is most likely not going to be a good fit for you.

Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Massanutten Resort and 20 minutes from the Swift Run entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Rivergreen Cottage offers a peaceful, remote setting while remaining close to local restaurants and amenities.

Getting Here
Please read before booking!

Rivergreen Cottage is somewhat remote, and reaching the property requires travelling on an unpaved road made up of stone, dirt, and, in some areas, grass. You will even drive through a pasture!

Drive slowly and carefully when approaching the cottage.
A vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended, as low-clearance vehicles may have difficulty navigating the road.
During winter weather, front-wheel drive or 4x4 is necessary. When snow is on the ground, 4x4 is absolutely required to reach the cottage safely.
Due to the terrain and access road, this property is not recommended for guests with mobility limitations.

Life on the Farm

Rivergreen Cottage is located on a working farm, so don't be surprised if you wake up to cattle grazing nearby! The cottage itself is fenced, and the cattle generally keep to themselves.

You may also meet Duke, our friendly donkey. He's a little shy at first, but he may warm up enough to enjoy a treat from your hand!

Because the property is near a body of water, you may encounter insects and other bugs during your stay. We have monthly pest control treatments to help minimise them. Please plan on seeing a bug or two.

The surrounding area is rich in railway history, and you may occasionally hear passing trains. We encourage you to visit the train museum in nearby Shenandoah for a glimpse into the area's history.

Off-the-Grid Living
Rivergreen Cottage is solar-powered, with a backup generator for added reliability. The system operates automatically, so there's nothing you need to do. From time to time, especially after dark, you may hear the generator start as it recharges the batteries.

It's all part of the off-the-grid experience!

A Cosy Getaway
Rivergreen Cottage is small, charming, and designed for a relaxing escape. It's ideal for two guests but can accommodate up to four. Please keep in mind that the space will feel quite cosy with four people.
