Beautiful Quaint Cabin
Amazing views and quiet location! We had issues with a storm and a downed tree that caused a power outage. The host was amazingly helpful and spent time getting the power restored for us super quick! Great place to go and unwind! Would definitely go again.

Fabulous Spring Get-away
This was half way for both parties and a wonderful spot for us to catch up and be together. The place was clean, comfortable and the outdoor seating by the fire pit and back portch was wonderful. We spent part of the time at Shenandoah River State Park and the spring flowers were beautiful as was the hiking. It was a wonderful weekend.

Cabin weekend
The cabin is charming and well appointed. The highlight was probably the amazing view from the back porch - we spent hours sitting in the rocking chairs, chatting and watching the light shift over the river and the mountains. Although the cabin feels remote (and is located up a fairly steep gravel drive off the main roads), it's just a short drive to parks, trails and downtown Front Royal so it's a great place to stay while exploring the area. All in all, a lovely spot for a quiet weekend escape.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, Location- Our cabin is the perfect home base for all your outdoor activities and adventures in the Shenandoah Valley. Our log cabin is secluded and built on a 100 foot cliff above the Shenandoah River with 35 acres of privacy. The Shenandoah River State Park and the Skyline Drive northern entrance are both only a ten minutes drive. The newly built Canopy Tours zip line was just open in the summer of 2014 which takes over 3 hour to complete. If you’re more interested in water activities; swimming, fishing or boating is all just a walk or 10 minute ride. There are three boating companies in the area which offer numerous options for floating down the river. Did someone say wine tasting? There are over 30 wineries within 30 minutes of our cabin with new ones opening every year. We hope you will choose our home base for a memorable getaway. The river can be accessed by walking, but does not have river access for launching boats due to the path to the river.
