Charming 1800s Farmhouse on 47 Acres — Riverfront w/Views, Hot Tub, Pet-Friendly

Escape to the peace and quiet of the Shenandoah Valley at this beautifully preserved 1800s farmhouse, tucked away on over 47 acres at the end of a quiet, dead-end road. With stunning views of rolling fields and the Shenandoah River, this is the perfect country retreat — for you and your pups!
Step back in time with original hardwood floors, exposed stone fireplaces, and all the historic details that make this home one of a kind. Spacious and welcoming, this farmhouse offers all the charm of a simpler era, while giving you plenty of room to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature.
Start your mornings and end your evenings on the screened-in porch, soaking in peaceful views of the open 10+ acre field that stretches down to the river. And for the ultimate relaxation? Slip into the private hot tub under the stars — the perfect way to unwind after a day of hiking, fishing, or exploring the area.
And for your four-legged friends? They'll love this special retreat! With plenty of space to run, play, and explore, dogs with good recall can enjoy countless hours of freedom — no city traffic or tight spaces here, just wide open fields and fresh mountain air.
Though you’ll feel miles away from it all, you’re only 15 minutes from downtown Luray, where you can explore charming shops, restaurants, and the famous Luray Caverns. The best part? You get to return to the quiet and calm of your own private escape.

This was our fourth stay (Mar. '24, Jul. '24, Mar. '25, Sept. '25) at 'The Farmhouse' we always enjoy the time to unwind, relax and take in the clean country air. Enjoyed time down at the river, around the camp fire and, of course, the hot tub. Got a relaxing walk in on the Hawksbill Greenway Trail in old town, and lunch at A Taste of Home. Two trips to Castle Vineyard capped off a great relaxing, long holiday weekend.Looking forward to possibly a winter stay in a few months.

Beautiful rustic yet updated farmhouse. We were here for a family reunion in the area and didn't spend much time in the Farmhouse besides sleeping and enjoying morning coffee on the screened in porch with great views of the nearby mountains. The steps are a bit challenging for those with older knees lol. Overall absolutely enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this as a peaceful getaway in a tranquil setting.

Great home base for hiking

We wanted a simple place to stay close to hiking, fishing and quiet. This was all of those. We were able to do a number of hikes as skyline drive and still come back for a hot tub and quiet evening. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well appointed. Exactly what we expected and wanted. Will stay again if we are back in the area

Just hung around and relaxed

The house was charming inside and out. Our dogs enjoyed having lots of places to run. We made a quick trip for groceries the day we arrived and then a trip into Luray and stopped for some ice cream (delicious). The house was spacious with lots of room to just 'be'.

Weekend getaway

We had an extremely relaxing stay. The area is gorgeous…loved being close to the water. We brought our dog and it was great to let him run and play and just be a dog. Did have a few issues with a few appliances, but the host was super quick to bring a new remote and coffee pot. All in all we would stay again!
