Great getaway

House is as described - very clean and has everything you need for a getaway. Owners are super communicative and kind. Love the gas fireplace in the main room, screened in porch, and hot tub. Short, beautiful walk to the river, which is much bigger than I was expecting.

Perfect Place for a Peaceful Stay

The cabin was very clean, well furnished, and well stocked with supplies. The location is private, and the views from the river are very pretty. The town of Luray is a short drive away, so grabbing a bite to eat or a scoop of ice cream at local restaurants and shops is easy. The cabin also has a nice gas grill that was perfect for our steak night. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Beary Relaxing

Bear Timbers cabin is a quaint and lovely home. The home provided all the things we needed during our short trip (2 nights). Our mornings consisted of taking a nice walk to the river which is located a short walking distance from the cabin. We enjoyed the views of SNP while soaking in the hot tub. The cabin was very clean and well kept. We are not tap water drinkers, but after reading the welcome manual we did drink from the tap and it was very clean tasting and refreshing. We enjoyed our stay here and hope to return in the future.

Beautiful cabin with everything that you need

We stayed at the cabin while visiting Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns. Billy was an amazing host who proactively communicated with us throughout our stay. We were impressed with the cabin and its cleanliness. Simple things like the variety of board games, first aid kit, bidet, and prime video streaming made it real like a home away from home. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a place to stay in the mountains.

Lovely stay by the river

Property was true to the listing. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We only needed to bring clothing, toiletries, and food. We had so much fun taking the inner tubes on the river, using the hot tub, grilling, and going out to see the local sites. We will be back again!

The location of this property, easy access to the river. Canoes are a bonus! All kinds of wildlife. Neighbors close by and friendly. Perhaps an outside shower.
