Northern VA. getaway

This was a beautiful cabin that is very remote ( it was about 14mi off the main highway, which about 6mi of the drive was on a gravel road, which was my only complaint) We needed to go back out twice while we were there and the gravel part of the road was not enjoyable. The cabin was very clean inside but could have used a wash down on the outside. The porch and hot tub area was pretty dirty.

Perfect getaway

This was the perfect cabin especially with young kids. Our kids enjoyed the playground, short walk to the river, tetherball and fire pit to make s’mores. Inside was just as fun and comfy with darts and ping pong. We would highly recommend booking this cabin for a relaxing getaway!

Amazing place to stay!

This place is beautiful! Perfect location if you like secluded but not too far away from things. About 45 minutes from Shenandoah which wasn’t bad at all. Shenandoah rentals were fantastic to deal with. Any questions I had were quickly responded to. The river was beautiful to walk down to. Definitely would stay there again!

Quite and off the beaten track

The house was clean, and the best stocked vacation rental we have ever stayed in. Everything worked. it is located down a gravel road so there was very little traffic, back in the country kind of setting but just about 20 min from downtown.

Exactly what a cabin should be

Great property! A short 2 min walk to the river. Hot tub, fire pit, and big children’s playground. Nice welcome basket and has both K-cup and drip coffee makers. Pet friendly. Definitely get your groceries before coming up — it’s 25 min drive back into town.

Great getaway!

Had a great time at Heaven Can Wait. Cabin was very clean and wrap around deck was awesome. Off the beaten path but less the 30 minutes from shopping. Shenandoah river was crystal clear and good fishing. Firepit at night was great! More than enough room for 6 people.

We picked this location because it was along the Shenandoah River, and because we wanted a family sized cabin that would also allow dogs. COVID

Lovely river setting. House is ideal for families and friends. I went with friends and we were able to relax and enjoy the calmness, but lord for kids to do too. Loved the layout of house and porch, can all hang out or have separate groups, because we know how families are :) hot tub right under porch, and two nice bathrooms. Highly recommend!!!!!

Cabin was wonderful!

Cabin was well stocked with the essentials aiding in less packing for a quick getaway. Upstairs and downstairs can easily be used by separate families if needed as everything is on both levels, kitchen, living space, bathroom, bedroom, fireplace. Only opportunity was the distance to hot tub and river appeared closer than the 0.25 mi walk to both when reviewing on website.

Review.

The stay house was great. Although when we first got there, we weren't there but for maybe 30 minutes and the power went out. We had no service and no idea what was going on so we had to drive into town. The helicopters were trimming the trees so the power was intentionally cut off. The hot tub could have been cleaner, there was a film on top of the water and a lot of dirt in it. But besides that, it was a great time! 😊

NYmet its getaway

Highly recommend. We arrived late at night and we pleasantly suprised when we opened the doors to an amazing log cabin resort. The 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living and kitchen areas were clean and welcoming. Not only did we find basic supplies avaiable but it had many other needed items. The welcome basket was also a nice touch. The mattresses were a bit lacking but itherwise everything was perfect. Hot tub outside at night, rocing xhairs on the porch in the am, corkscrew have asked for more. The water is within walking distance, great for early morning quiet. The location is on a dirt road (6 miles ), so be prepared to clean your car after leaving. Communication from staff and agency was great before during and after. Definitely worth it. Hoping to get back there this year for some winter fun

Perfect place to relax and enjoy!

My husband & I, our son and daughter-in-law, and our friends had a wonderful time at Heaven Can Wait. We stayed in the pool house which we fell in love with. Main cabin has a 2nd smaller kitchenette on the first floor with a bedroom and bathroom so great for 2 families. Pool was fantastic! Access to river was not great for seniors (60+). Hummingbirds and sunset and sunrise views from the wrap-around deck were amazing. As mentioned previously, the road in is NO OUTLET for about 14 miles of which 6 is unpaved. Makes trips to Luray (I fell off the step by the back door and needed medical attention) very long but also means the location is very peaceful. There are a few RVs on the next lot which were occupied during our stay. We loved it all!
