River's Bend Ranch is a guest ranch and event venue owned and operated by the McConnell family for almost 40 years. We sit on over 250 beautiful acres nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the George Washington National Forest. With a half-mile of shoreline on the Shenandoah River, and over 20 bedrooms on-site, RBR offers the perfect setting for family gatherings, weddings & receptions, group retreats, or just a quiet weekend getaway.
On the ranch guests can enjoy fishing, birding, and walking trails, as well as lawn games and our indoor game room. Trail rides along our piece of the Shenandoah's South Fork are available to guests and the general public, and can accommodate any riding ability.
With the quaint town of Luray, its famous Caverns, and the incredible Skyline Drive just a few miles out, RBR offers access to activities for all tastes and ages.
The largest of our cabin suites, the LODGE has three bedrooms and sleeps 8 guests. It features an open-concept layout with a comfortable living area, a fully-equipped kitchen and a dining table for 6. It is the only unit with a washer & dryer, and also features flat-screen cable TV and wifi access. Linens and kitchenware are provided. There are two full baths, with a jacuzzi tub in the master. Rocking chairs on the covered, wrap-around porch are the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and incredible views of the surrounding mountains! Guests will also have access to the shared outdoor common area with fire pits and gas grill - firewood and propane provided.
