Amazing spot!
What an amazing spot on the river! This place was so amazing with absolutely beautiful view of the river, my city wife was so awestruck by this place she immediately started searching for a place for sale in the general area. I got a very strong feeling we’ll be doing another stay at this awesome place later this year.

Cute little cottage
The cottage was cozy and very clean, steps from the river…we enjoyed sitting by the river and fishing. Sitting in the screened in porch having our coffee in the morning was a great start to our day.

Great family getaway
Place is beautiful, well stocked and clean. Our kids enjoyed fishing and sitting by fire pit at night and swinging on the wood swing. They are now asking for a swing at home. We love this location and will definitely be back in the spring. Once again thank you for sharing your home.

New Years Weekend Getaway
Check-in was a breeze. The heat was on when we got there, fresh towels, linen, and a fully equipped kitchen. We had everything we needed to cook. We enjoyed using the outdoor charcoal grill for our New Years Eve feast. Our dog loved sniffing around and going down to the river. I wish it would have been warm enough to sit on the screened in porch, it was lovely! Very cozy, we will be back to enjoy it in the warmer months!

We enjoyed it very much. Property was exactly as portrayed online. Just by the river! You can hear and see the river from the back porch. We enjoyed the hammock and the fire outside too! Very relaxing. Owners/managers were responsive too. Thanks!

Amazing getaway
Place was amazing as always, our family comes every year and stays on the same street. This home is one of our favorites- I love the screened in porch that faces the water and the family loves the water access to fish and float on their rafts. We hope to be back toward the end of the summer. Thanks again for providing such an amazing place to escape our everyday lives.

Adorable and relaxing!
This cabin is so adorable and in a perfect location. Not far from the town of Luray, so if you want to eat out at a restaurant, that's easy to do. The owner left us lots of "extras" like the fixings for smores and wood stacked at the campfire. It would be an easy place to live full-time. We loved the screened-in porch and watching the river. Fun to walk down by the river. I highly recommend this cabin.

Great little cabin. Porch awesome. Cell service spotty and no Wi-Fi. Make sure get entry code and instructions before arrival. Didn’t need those things while there though. 👍👍

Lovely cabin!
We arrived after dark and did miss the sign so we found it on the way back. It just added to our adventure! The place was very clean and and the heat was on and waiting for us! The view from the porch is to die for, the sound of the gentle flowing river was perfect for our girls getaway. We had hoped for WiFi since there’s zero cell signal, just to check in with our kids back home. That’s the only thing I might suggest. The break from phones ringing was welcome though. We had a great time, went hiking at Little Devils Stairs and highly recommend! I will be renting this place again!

Wonderful stay in this perfect cabin!
My spouse and I needed a few days at the Shenandoah River and this cabin was perfect. Keith and Stephanie communicated well and everything was ready for us on arrival. The cabin was spotless. S'mores makings greeted us on the kitchen table, and the coffee pot was even prepared for the morning! This cabin offers many areas to relax - the comfy seats and bistro table on the screen porch provided great views of the river, and of the fawn who visited us a few times. The chaise lounges by one of the fire pits were so comfy for reading after our time on the river. The river access is PERFECT - not just close to the river but easy when carrying our kayaks since there are no stairs or major inclines! We enjoyed listening to the river riffles and crickets' songs when in bed at night. The kitchen is complete with everything you need and all was in great condition. We are already planning our next stay at the Riverfront Cottage.

Great Location
Clean and organized cottage, everything you need for a pleasant stay. Just be aware no wifi and no cell phone reception inside the house and poor reception outside (Verizon). There is a couple of miles to drive on unpaved and at time rough terrain but we did not have problems with our minivan.Great location right in front of the river. Host was prompt in communicating with us. Better get there for the first time with day light because at night is very dark and difficult to find the cottage. We will book again.

Quiet Comfort
Cabin was as listed with plenty of towels and little touches. Cooking pans were on the better side, which is unusual for a rental. Screened porch gives guests a chance to enjoy the serene atmosphere without the issue of nature's little biting critters. Bed was comfortable and after figuring out where the heat source was, it kept us very comfortable. Plenty of space for the two of us.
