Accommodations: Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)
Cast-A-Way log cabins are secluded retreats nestled between the George Washington National Forest and offering private access to the legendary Shenadoah River.
Picture yourself in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley relaxing in a hot tub under a canopy of majestic oaks listening to the sounds of the forest and the nearby Shenandoah River.
Our brand new 2 bedroom cabins with private lofts offer all the comforts to make your stay a memorable experience and quiet respite from the stresses of life. Each sleeping 2 to 6 people, they are the perfect honeymoon getaway or the ideal location for a family escape.
With two queen sized bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens, a sofa and rocking chair, they are the perfect place to find repose in a welcoming and relaxing environment.
Cast-A-Way Cabins have a little something for everyone. A quiet walk in the woods, reading in front of the fire, small mouth bass fishing from the river's bank, roasting marshmallows around an outdoor fire pit, or renting a canoe from nearby Shenandoah River Outfitters. We're just a cast-a-way!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Christian and Angela Goebel live in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley with their four outgoing children. As part-owner of Shenandoah River Outfitters, they are accustomed to spending their days immersed in the beauty of their natural surroundings, canoeing, tubing, rafting, or fishing. Their mountain paradise also offers them the opportunity to hike, horseback ride, ski, hunt, or soar over the ridges as autumn colors turn to snow capped peaks.
Desiring to share a rich heritage with others, they purchased two plots of land surrounded by National Forest and began construction of Cast-A-Way Cabins. In 2008 they started with Cast-A-Way cabin and in February of 2009 Reel-It-In had its grand opening. They are thankful to have a place where couples and families can enjoy a secluded spot, as they take time out to slow life's pace.
The Goebel Family has been on several missions trip to Nicaragua and they are very involved in their local church. Christian is a builder and flight instructor and Angela is a nurse and a leader for Weight Watchers. They enjoy every opportunity they have to gather by the river at the cabins with their children, to soak in the hot tub, relax with a good movie, share a family meal or sit around the fire pit under the open sky.

We want to thank you so much for a fantastic weekend....It was more than we thought! This was a dream I personally had imagined for a long time. I have no complaints and will recommend this cabin, the beauty of the mountain, all of nature at it's best to everyone and anyone wanting to spend time alone, in thought, or with a special one. It was all we wanted and much more than expected. We especially loved sitting out on the deck with our hot apple cider talking and laughing, while the moon and stars kept us company. Thank you again!

Dear Angela and Christian, We had a lovely time at the cabin. It was the perfect get away for the New Year and my birthday. The cabin is beautiful, inviting and very comfortable. We enjoyed star gazing on the cold nights in the warm, hot tub. We wish you a Happy, Healthy and blessed New Year!

The Goebels, This place was peaceful, private and perfect for our anniversary. It was nice to be able to do things during the day (visit into Luray-downtown, walking on the Hawksbill Greenway, horseback riding, etc.) and come back "home" to grill, eat and relax. Everyone was especially nice wherever we went, and we foresee ourselves visiting you again in the future. We hope you keep this location exactly the way it is (personal &private)! It was nice for us city folk to be somewhere so peaceful and calming. The cabin was so clean, homey and comfortable-exactly what we were seeking. Thanks again! P.S. One of the best cabins we have ever rented- by far. And we've rented many!

Christian and Angela, What an adorable little hide away! The view is breathtaking. It's so quiet and peaceful. You can actually hear the deer in the woods! Thanks so much for a wonderful and much needed week!
