Magical Riverfront Retreat in Luray – Cozy Getaway with Stunning Views!

Escape to Our Magical 3-Bedroom Riverfront Cabin in Luray!

We’re thrilled to welcome you to our magical, waterfront cabin on the banks of the majestic Shenandoah River, just minutes from Shenandoah National Park. Perfect for multigenerational getaways or peaceful retreats with family and friends—furry ones included—our cozy three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin has everything you need for an unforgettable stay.

What You'll Love:

Free Canoes & Kayaks - Paddle the serene Shenandoah at your own pace.

Two Smokers & Firepit - Grill up a feast, then unwind with S’mores under the stars.

Screened-In Porch - The envy of our neighbors—perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks with a view.

Fully Stocked - Linens, towels, kitchenware, charcoal, firewood, and even kindling—all provided. Just bring your food and ice!

Activities & Adventures - Enjoy fishing, tubing, and relaxing by the water, or take in breathtaking views from our elevated deck. For day trips, explore Luray Caverns, Skyline Drive, George Washington National Forest, and more—all just a short drive away.

Comfort & Convenience - Central A/C and heating, a washer/dryer, dishwasher, Keurig, and even an electric can opener make your stay hassle-free. We provide free WiFi—great for messaging and calls, though speeds may vary due to the rural setting. There's also a landline for virtual meetings, and if you need faster internet, head to Broad Porch Coffee in Luray, just 12 miles away.

Good to Know - Our cabin is built on a raised foundation in the river’s flood zone, so you'll need to climb stairs to access the property. The flat lot offers easy river access, and Shenandoah Outfitters is just 5 minutes away if you’d like a professional-guided river trip.

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.

Scenic spot on the river
The views from the property are amazing. The location on the river for fishing and kayaking was convenient. Very responsive owner when issues arose, he brought new grill and coffeemaker during our stay. The house is a 20 minute drive from Luray. While the inside was clean the outside is in need of some TLC, especially the porch screens.

Long weekend to unwind
We had an amazing stay here. My husband, our three kids (7,6,3) and my parents were able to come for a long weekend. We enjoyed spending time on the water, sitting by the campfire and even got some hiking in! Would totally come again. The house had everything we needed!

Clean, well equipped home.
Everything was lovely. Cabin clean and well supplied. Many nice outdoor features; canoes, kyaks, bags game, large fire pit with ample firewood, wagon to transport firewood. Listing is a bit misleading indicating there is a hot tub. There is no hot tub, only bath tub in bathroom. Other than that everything is terrific!

What a great get-away location
We, for the first time was able to see why they are called the Blue Ridge Mountains! Such a perfect location for the view, serene environment and all along the flowing river. The house is really upkept and you can tell a lot of work has been put into making it a modern, but yet, out-doorish feel. Thanks to everyone for such an amazing get away for the family!!

The property is on a beautiful setting next to the Shenandoah River. It is a commitment to driving 15-20 minutes to groceries etc. A very casual home, beds were comfortable and the screen porch was nice.

Nice place by the Shenandoah River
This was a nice home by the water with a nice fire pit and chairs right next to the water. 3 kayaks and 2 canoes were available to use. The house was nicely decorated and comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen with supplies. I'd recommend it and would go back again.

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!

Peaceful getaway with breathtaking views
This property is just stunning. We visited in the Fall when it was warm enough to enjoy the kayaks and cold enough to take in the leaves changing with the season over a firepit. This ladies trip was exactly what we needed - peaceful, relaxing, and away from the NOVA/DC hustle with stunning views of the mountains, and a sunrise on the water that I will never forget. Cesar was very accommodating and extremely responsive throughout our booking and our stay. Will definitely be back!

Magical location
Our 5-day stay on the banks of the river celebrated a family milestone in comfort and beauty. The cottage was spacious with multiple dining areas (2) and gathering areas (4) both inside and outside. All the appliances served us well, and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated the quiet neighbors and no outboard motors on the river. Having kayaks and canoes on the property (no need to rent) was a real highlight. Two unfavorable aspects: the cottage could have used a beginning-of-the-season deeper cleaning (porch walls showed spray marks that would have been easy to remove; debris around windows and doors); and small maintenance tasks are needed (flooring split, screen door malfunction, blinds in small bedroom). In other words, just a few hours of work would have yielded a 5-star review!
