Peaceful, close to great hiking. We also enjoyed many activities in and around the property as the home was fully equipped inside and out with everything you might expect for a getaway on the river. An unexpected and welcome accommodation was the gate on the deck that allowed our dog to roam freely without us worrying about an escape. We weren’t disappointed with our first trip to the Shenandoah Valley.
This is a beautiful home located right next to the river! It had everything you could need in the kitchen, a beautiful deck for grilling out, comfortable beds, and was a very peaceful setting. It was just what I was looking for.
Great view! Wonderful location! There was a very minor hiccup getting into the house but owner responded quickly so really no big deal! We would love to visit again!
This is a great place for a family getaway in the countryside. Would be perfect for a large group with lots of kids. Well stocked with everything you need. We loved it.
The location was perfect for our family getaway. The access to the lazy river was wonderful. The property had kayaks and tubes that made it very easy to lounge in the water. We loved the fire pit at night. We would definitely consider coming back again!
Jennifer is excellent to communicate with and the home is exactly as described. Our family of 9 enjoyed the quiet, the time together, and yes, even time on the river during Thanksgiving week again. Thanks again!
We had a great time at the house! The views are gorgeous! The house is very well supplied with everything you could need. Clean and neat. Jennifer was very responsive. We'll be back!
Beautiful location. Very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Fun time on river but grey LL Bean kayak leaking. Was surprised there was only limited toilet paper. Wish we had known that ahead of time.
We all loved it, it was so amazing, the house is so big and confortable, the whole property was amazing, the river is right there, we just have a very relaxing vacation. Jennifer was an amazing host .
We had a little problem at the beginning with the house being dirty when we got there but Jennifer took care of us and it was resolved quickly.
Everything was perfect! My only complaint is the kitchen was dirty and the dishwasher was full of water. Sticky counters and we kept the dishwasher closed. I'd still rate this home a 10 out of 10. Exceeded our expectations with location, amenities and space for multi generation families. space
We had a great bachlorette weekend! They had multiple kayaks aind many tubes. We put the tubes in..up from the cabin and floated back down river to the cabin. Lots of supplies in the kitchen including smore items! The 2 yr.old loved the swings and toys. We'd love to come back! Jennifer was very generous with arrival and checkout times since no one was scheduled after us. Wash clothes were not provided, but plenty of towels.
We had a wonderful stay—just what we were looking for!!! The house was big enough for all of us, maintained well enough— but not pristine— which worked great for our crazy family. Stocked with all the necessities we needed— except a first aide kit . Our only complaint was the uneven, dirt( sometimes muddy) walkway to the entry door— nothing that a rake and a little gravel couldn’t fix— . Our host, Jennifer was prompt and friendly when answering our questions.
All in all— a great place to stay!! Thank you!’

Canoe house review
We had a great time Columbus day weekend with great weather and river conditions. We spent most of our time outdoors by the river or kayaking or canoeing between the 2 boat ramps in the neighborhood (45 min to 1 hr float at 4 ft river height) and just outside it. The house was well-loved, kid friendly and served our needs fine. Don't expect a 5 star hotel experience but if want a place to crash after a day on the river, it works well and there are lots of beds to choose from. The kitchen was well stocked and Jennifer and family have been very generous with what's available to guests. There's plenty of chairs for sitting by the river, a fire pit, s'mores supplies, 1 canoe and 5 single kayaks, river tubes and plenty of paddles and life jackets. Our kids loved the pool table in the basement.
Certainly, here’s a review that captures all of your points:
We had a wonderful time at this property! The drive in was scenic and added to the adventure; there are a few signs suggesting a turnaround, but as a guest, this is the only way in, so don’t be deterred.
The property is well-equipped for a river retreat. Plenty of canoes, kayaks, and tubes were available, all in serviceable condition, allowing us to make the most of the nearby river. The firepit area is spacious, with plenty of seating for everyone to gather around in the evenings, though the mosquitoes were pretty relentless. With enough fire, however, we managed to keep them at bay!
Inside, the amenities are generally well-maintained. The pool table is a little warped and only one cue stick is available, but it was still a fun addition and added to the experience. The kitchen was well-stocked, which made meal prep easy, and we found the furniture to be comfortable and perfect for conversations and relaxing as a group.
There are ample sleeping arrangements, and the layout makes it easy for everyone to spread out or gather as needed. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet with no cell phone service—it was a plus for relaxation, although we did miss it a bit for safety. The WiFi worked well enough for basic messaging and coordinating plans.
Overall, we’d recommend this spot for anyone looking for a getaway. The rustic charm and amenities made it a memorable escape!
Very quiet setting. The house is set slightly on a hill directly across the one lane road with a beautiful view of the river. I think 3 cars drove by in one afternoon. And there's a tree swing on rope just like I had when I was a kid. And yes, I swang in it. I recommend arriving your first time before dark, or you may have a difficult time finding it. We truly enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed. Hardly any of the closests were locked, so you could get to the extra light bulbs, paper towels, soap, etc. It was just nice to be trusted that you wouldn't steal anything. Most everyone locks all closests. If it was mentioned on VRBO, I missed it, but in the basement is a pool table, foosball table, bicycle, and full bath. The bugs were pretty active, so take bug spray with you.
The host was so easy to contact and very nice. We couldn't get Direct TV to come on, so we contacted her. She called immediately and talked us through a couple things. When that didn't work she had support on the phone in 5 minutes to get it fixed.
We definitely would stay here again.
I don't like caves, but don't miss Luray Caverns! It was beautiful and so clean!
Also, if you like real Italian food, don't miss Il Vesuvio Italian Restaurant in Luray. It is beyond delicious!!! And, my friends made me go to Royal Zaika Grill & Bar in Front Royal, which is an Indian restaurant. The owner and staff were so nice!!! It was my first time eating Indian food, and honestly, I didn't like any of it. It'
Incredible location, we spent a lot of time on the river. Plenty of kayaks and tubes for everyone and a perfect place for bonfires. Neighborhood is quiet and felt safe. House is beautiful and big but needs some TLC, some things falling apart/broken (inside and outside chairs, pool sticks, outdoor railing, one of the kayaks has a hole, slow leaks in two tubes). Upstairs bathroom needs a deep clean. Missing booster seat for my baby but our host had one delivered the next day so that was great. Kitchen was fully stocked and grill worked well, plenty of beds, two refrigerators made plenty of room for all our food. All in all a wonderful stay, would recommend and return here in the future.
Great location for our needs, National park and hiking within a reasonable drive, fishing and river activities all around us and other actives nearby. The house was well equipped and in a beautiful setting.
