Stunning Shenandoah Riverfront Retreat

Summary:

Charming and spacious waterfront home situated in a beautiful park setting that leads straight to the Shenandoah river. The cabin has a gorgeous log interior with beamed ceilings and two covered porches with stunning river and mountain views.



The neighborhood is located in a serene and private area, between Strasburg and Woodstock and close to many restaurants, activities, and other points of interest.



Enjoy tubing in the summer, lounging in the winter, and fishing year round!



The Space:

The original log interior makes for a cozy getaway feel. The home has an open floor plan with spacious living room, kitchen, dining area, and a propane stone fireplace.

Some of the highlights of this home:

* Beautiful log cabin with vaulted ceilings, log beams and walls, stone fireplace

* 5 Bedrooms (one open area in the basement with bunk beds), 2.5 bathrooms, 2 pack and plays.

* Walk out basement leading directly to yard and river. Basement includes full bath for easy cleaning after a day at the river.

* Indoor and outdoor dining space (picnic table in the yard and outdoor table on side patio)

* Propane and charcoal grills available.

* Two covered porches with STUNNING VIEWS.

* Amazing setting! A spacious, flat 1.61 acres leading straight to the river with firepit.

* Roku, WIFI, DVDs, and records.

* Quality linens and comfortable mattresses for a good nights sleep.

* Kitchen stocked with all the essentials.

* Life jackets, two kayaks, and fishing poles provided for your enjoyment.

* Main floor is FULLY handicap accessible.

* Upon booking, you will receive house guidelines and local recommendations. We are here to help!



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the entire house and 1.6 acre yard. There is river access, and the house is handicap accessible.



The Neighborhood:

The neighborhood is serene and secluded, but there are neighbors nearby. Gravel roads make for a nice nature walk, and of course the large yard is fun for all activities.



Other Things to Note:

- Well behaved pets with vaccinations and current flea prevention treatment are welcome. There is a $50 charge per pet per stay.

- There is a low-lying bridge you have to cross to get to the neighborhood. Snow should not impact crossing, as people live there full time, but the rare heavy flood would present a problem. We try to keep an eye on water levels and give notice if it might become impassable coming or going, but occasionally a flash flood surprises us.



Interaction with Guests:

We don't live far and are very knowledgeable about the area. We are happy to answer any questions you have during your stay and are available to be there when needed. We can recommend hiking trails, places to eat, and wineries and breweries in the area. Of course, it's also nice to just stay put and relax. For warmer months, we have tubes, fishing poles, and a flat bottom boat available for a float down the river. We look forward to hosting your mountain getaway!

Amazing house on the Shenandoah River

We were delayed one day due to the river flooding the low water bridge into the neighborhood but the hosts were great about giving info and keeping us updated throughout. Once we were able to access the property the wait for well worth it, Wow, what a cool house right on the river! There were no amenities that weren't at the house, the Shaffer's are a great host and have a beautiful house in a picturesque location. We cannot thank you enough for a great stay, despite mother nature not playing along! Definitely recommend this house if you're looking for great hosts and a great place to stay.

Beautiful Location & Home

Our family of 7 had a great 4 night stay here. The location is so nice with mountain views. The river was great, my husband caught his 1st fish fly-fishing. The house is set up nicely and comfortably. Plenty of beds & 3 bathrooms. Would definitely recommend.

Great Cabin

This is a beautiful cabin. It is well stocked with everything you need to have a stress free stay. It is very clean. We loved our time. We took our fur babies, which is wonderful that this host allows. The back porch is opened, but is gated in at the bottom so our dogs could enjoy the outside and not have to be leashed. My husband enjoyed fishing, had to walk the river to find good fishing holes, and caught a nice one. I could go on and on, you just have try this cabin.

The property of this cabin is absolutely beautiful. We loved the park like setting, huge grass covered back yard, and access to the crystal clear babbling waters of the North Fork Shenandoah. This is a superb location to kick back and relax. We enjoyed kayaking down the river from the low water bridge and wading in the water while fishing. Our dog enjoyed hanging out in the back yard and taking nice walks by the river and down the quiet road. We had bonfires in the firepit most nights and marveled at the star filled skies. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed for prepping meals.The owners were very responsive to any questions. At one point I reached out to the owner because the split firewood was mostly gone. There were some whole logs but we could find and Axe/Maul to split it. The very next day not only was a maul delivered but a whole load of split firewood. Thank you!We have one family member that uses a power wheelchair. The accessibility is quite good with a ramp to the back entrance and ramps to both of the porches. The bathroom was however VERY tight trying to access with the power chair. I comment on this only so people are aware. It is accessible but not ADA compliant. The end of the ramp to the side door access has experienced a little washout from heavy rains but we had a short portable ramp with us to solve the transition. We figured it out but it's just something to be aware of.Overall, a great stay, lovely area, beautiful grounds!

Nice older cabin on North Shenandoah River. Good response from host when we found a few issues. Fairly good fishing in one spot. Nice property. Recommended for folks with dogs. They have room to run and the river is mostly shallow for them to play in the water. Has everything you need to relax and enjoy being by the river.

Great cabin on the river

We loved the remote location. It was a few hours into DC but still doable for a day trip. The hosts were readily available when there was a flash flood in a neighboring town. Well stocked cabin with lots of river equipment.

The perfect riverside getaway

This cabin was perfect for our family to escape the DC area for a weekend. All we had to bring was clothes and food - everything else was provided for. The house is huge and has so many things to do for kids including fooseball, airhocky, tubing, a huge yard leading down to the river, and beautiful fire pit. We had the best time and would definitely come back again. One tip - cell phone service is not very reliable, so be sure to screenshot the doorcode before getting there! The owner Julie is super responsive and accomodating - she even found us a babysitter in the area!!

Weekend getaway

Had weekend getaway with group of friends & family. Has plenty of space and beds for everyone. Outside area was large and plenty of space to play outside. Everything was fine, however we could not find towels until we looked around to the basement laundry room and it was in side the dryer. Fridge was filled with things from previous guests. Could not find trash bags.

Amazing cabin! Amazing River!

Rambling older cabin (in a good way!!) that was just so much fun. comfortable, homey, with absolutely everything we needed-seriously this home included more amenities than any other VRBO we've stayed in. Ample towels, ample toilet paper, ample detergent... tubes, inflator, blankets, firewood.. just wonderful. We put in a grocery order at the walmart in Woodstock and picked it up on our way in. We didn't need to leave again. The owner is very caring and easy to communicate with, the neighborhood is lovely, the river is AMAZING. We travel with VRBO several times a year and this home is right at the top.

Nice setting. Needs a bit of updating.

The setting of this home has an attractive, spacious backyard down to the river, which is a great place for kids to play and families to gather. It is quiet and rural. Deer, bunnies and birds abound. The decor and furnishings inside seem tired and worn rather than quaint. Stained carpeting. Broken chairs on porches and fire pit area. We’ve stayed in a lot of VRBO homes. For the price, we were expecting something nicer.

Great Place to Relax and Play

Everything about this cabin and the property was perfect. I took a group of teachers on a well-deserved weekend getaway and training retreat, and they got the relaxation they needed. The cabin was exactly as promised and the property was even better than I had expected. I didn't realize when I booked it that we were only steps away from the river's edge and it made it all the more enjoyable. Sitting on the back porch, listening to the sound of the river flow by was just was we needed to set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional weekend. Thanks for this property. I hope we can stay here again sometime.
