Great cabin for family with teenager
The proximity to hiking, the river, and town is perfect. We enjoyed the Kennedy's Peak hike and the short hike on the backside of the mountain. The hot tub was the perfect size for our family of 3. We enjoyed walking around the town of Luray and it's Visitor's Center. We wish the fire pit next to the house was more like the pits by the river. Also, the road was louder than we expected, but the great location helped us overlook the unexpected noise. The satellite TV was nice for watching movies.

About the host

Hosted by Annette Cates

Host profile image
I own the 1850's Massanutten Springs (log cabin) -restored it and now is a weekend rental... I got started in this business because I was taking care of my mother and needed additional help - although mom (Charlotte Good Kibler) passed away before completion she would be proud I know. As a single mother I just want to provide for my daughter and her future, which is why I decided to purchase the Rock Tavern property when the opportunity presented itself - my late father Aaron P Kibler would be proud to see the Rock Tavern back in the family - Uncle Abe was his brother. Aunt Lizzy was one of my favorite Aunts- always smiling! I believe 'Horses can Soothe your Soul' - if you visit Massanutten Springs website under horse tales - you will see a few of ours! If you have never ridden, take a trail ride- you will love it, if you have your own horses- you already know...RIDE OFTEN! With portable fencing we can be horse friendly at both properties. Best Regards, Annette K. Cates

Why they chose this property

I am now the proud owner of the 1947 Rock Tavern Retreat as my late Uncle Abe and late Aunt Lizzie owned, built and tended bar in the original stone tavern for years. ATK & 1947 is still in the stone walls and I am grateful to have the opportunity to get this property back in the family and we ( my daughter Jade and I) look forward to sharing with our guests the awesome history of the Rock Tavern.

What makes this property unique

The 1947 Rock Tavern Retreat offers plenty of space for reconnecting with friends and family, a couples retreat indeed. The master bedroom suite offers a King Bed, an infared modular fireplace, has a private deck entrance and a fabulous view of the beautiful Shenandoah River. The theatre style leather recliners forces you to relax! The original stone shows thru in several rooms and just accents this cabin - it is quite unique!
