Perfect secluded spot on the river

Cliffside cabin is simply perfect. Amazing views of (and an equally amazing stone step walkway down to) the river. Seclusion. And every amenity you'd need to have a relaxing, reasonably priced cabin getaway within a couple of hours from Washington DC. The host was very responsive. I hope to visit again soon.

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.

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.
