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.

If you plan on bringing your pets (2 pet maximum) please make sure that you select pets when making your reservation. Note that pets other than dogs will need approval before booking.

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.

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.

Farm setting
I was looking for a spot to relax and recharge so the quiet farm setting was the prescription I needed. Seeing cows and Mr. Donkey made me smile every morning.

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.

Right on the Shenandoah. Beautiful Scenery. Relaxing time on the river, and Covered Porch. Good early Morning Coffee Views in all directions. Close to town, although doesn’t feel like it. Host Scot very responsive and helpful. Will be back. Definitely recommend!

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

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.

Beautiful Farm Location Along the River!
This is a very old well-kept historic river front home nestled in the Shenandoah Valley near the Massanutten Resort. We come every year for our after Christmas ski trip and stay in different VRBOs each time. This one we would use again. It was surprisingly warm one of the days so we used the canoe and paddle boat (though we recommend you replace the ropes as one rope got stuck in the paddle boat wheel and the ropes are in bad shape). The kids (college age) LOVED going on the river! We also used the hot tub a couple times. We ran out of time to use the fire pit or grill, but those are nice options. The home was well stocked with all kitchen amenities, games, towels, basic supplies, etc. The beds in the adult bedrooms were very comfortable. The bunk beds weren't as comfortable, but were fine for their purpose. There's a TV with lots of cable options in every room, the wifi worked great, and we found a few games and cards which we used. The only thing that would have been nice to have on site was some laundry pods as we had some muddy towels from boating we needed to wash and had to go to the store to buy laundry detergent. Overall, we loved our stay and the owners were very communicative and easy to work with.

Property was beautiful. We had a wonderful time. The linens and towels were provided. That was a huge plus with so many people. River access was a little challenging due to steps needing repair. Found a spot down the road to gain river access. Bunk bed mattresses were not as comfortable as the two queen beds. All in all it was a great get away.
