Family-friendly waterfront cabin with great views & canoes/kayaks. Pets welcome!
We are thrilled to share our three bedroom, two bathroom waterfront cabin with friends old and new in this magical location on the banks of the majestic Shenandoah River, close to Shenandoah National Park. We offer free canoes and kayaks, two traditional smoker grills, an outstanding firepit and a screened in porch that is the envy of all our neighbors.
The property is perfect for a multigenerational vacation or for sharing the slow and peaceful life in the Shenandoah Valley with friends and family - furry or otherwise. EVERYTHING is provided, except food and ice. Enjoy grilling, fishing, tubing, and making S’mores around the firepit, or simply take in the view of the forest and river from our elevated deck and screened in porch. We provide the charcoal, kindling and starter. Alternatively, visit Luray Caverns, George Washington National Forest, Thornton Gap, Mary's Rock, Lake Arrowhead, or make a short detour to scenic Skyline Drive.
Canoes, kayaks and life vests are available on site for your use, for free. The lot is very flat and there is easy access to the river for the kayaks and canoes. Paddle up river and back down from the property, or head over to Shenandoah Outfitters 5 minutes away and get a river ride with the Pros.
Our cabin is equipped with central A/C and heating, washer, dryer, dishwasher, Keurig - even an electric can opener! Linens, towels, and all kitchenware are provided. We also provide free firewood and charcoal for the firepit and two charcoal grills.
This is a rural cabin so the Wifi is not quite as fast as you might be accustomed to, but we do make it available to our guests for free. Cell phone service is also spotty, depending on which carrier you have, but the Wifi is usually fast enough for messages and calls. There is also a landline you can use to dial in to virtual meetings.
The town of Luray, VA and all its associated amenities is only 12 miles, so if fast internet is required at any point during your trip you can head over to any one of the trendy establishments in Luray (Broad Porch Coffee is my favorite) and connect there.
Please note that you will need to climb lots of stairs to get into and out of the property. It's on a raised foundation as it was originally built on the river's flood zone.

What a Relaxing and peaceful home!
We had our annual girls trip of mostly 50+ fun loving ladies here the first week of September 2023. The home was clean, had all the amenities we needed and the views were spectacular!
The owner was hands down the best I've dealt with yet on quick communication and even stopped by at one point to address a previous concern. Enjoyed talking with him.
As previously said, the views are spectacular and although we didn't get in the water, we so enjoyed lazy breakfasts on the screened in porch while watching others fish, paddle or tube in it.
We did have some issues with the unusual locks to the outside porches and one of the door handle pieces kept falling off but he assured us that was on the to do list for renovations. Some minor scratches on the walls were also on his list. There were some cobwebs here and there on the porch but that's most likely from the many mature trees shading the property and providing an inviting home. I deal with the same on a daily basis on my shaded porch.
FYI, double check GPS directions before starting off on exploring the area. We had a couple instances of Ggle maps taking us on some treacherous back roads instead of easier paths that affected some of our group with vertigo and height issues.
Would 100% stay again in the future! Thanks again for some wonderful memories!

Beautiful location and outstanding accommodations. Need to work out the entry process as the keypad only works the deadbolt and not the doorknob which was also locked.

Get away from it all!
What a wonderful time we had! The house was super clean at check in, great set-up, lots of items to use, such as cookware, towels, games, just everything! The canoes were fun, fishing was nice and quiet, fire pit was cozy, and the beds are super comfortable! The stairs going up and down are a key point, pack smaller, lighter bags to make it easier, my in-laws just took it nice and slow. Close to Luray and Skyland resort. Would definitely rent again!

Excellent location right on the river. The hosts provided everything we could possibly need to enjoy our stay from kayaks to kitchen utensils. Our family loved the screened porch and deck.
We hope to come back again in the future!

Family Time and Relaxation
The river was amazing and made this our best vacation yet. We enjoyed having the fire pit right down by the water. The house was perfect for relaxing during the morning and night hours. The kids enjoyed having the stand-up shower and soaker tub. The kitchen was spacious for cooking and the whole home had more than enough space for a group of 8.
The screened in porch was great for relaxing after cleaning up from river fun and enjoying a drink.
Many of us kayaked for the first time and we were even able to get one of the teens to pick up a new hobby. The river is a great opportunity to learn.
