Our stay was relaxing and pleasant. The house was clean and functional. Family of 4 with 2 dogs lived comfortably. Communication with host prior to and during the stay was fast and accurate. The property is well kept and borders the river. I would and may come back

Scott was a fantastic guest. Respectful, easy to communicate with, and left the property in great condition. Would happily host again!
Great property. The washer and dryer is a huge plus for drying and washing things after a day on the river. One thing to note, there is no mailbox for this address. This caused some issues when I had something delivered and it was sent USPS. Not a big deal but if you’re planning a working vacation it’s something to keep in mind.

Cozy Cabin with all essentials needed for cooking and sleeping, hot tub was a great experience, the river view was beautiful just a heads up, it is very shallow in front of cabin and might need water shoes since there is a lot of rock. Host was great with giving information.

Linda was a pleasure to work with. I recommend them and would host them again.
Sweet location, clean interior and nicely stocked kitchen (utensils, dishes etc). Grill worked well. Locks a bit of a challenge due to door fit. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the peace and beauty.

Thank you so much! Hope to see you again, Christine! 😊
Our stay was exactly what the doctor ordered. My partner and I were looking for a nice waterfront getaway house for the weekend and this place delivered. Only wish we could have stayed a little longer! Perfect for a couple or small family, the house had some nice perks. The outdoor decks were nice for relaxing and dinning. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tube but it did look inviting. We did put the canoes to good use though and enjoyed the riverside fire pit at night. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Thank you for your hospitality.

Amazing, pet-friendly cabin getaway
Just got back from an amazing weekend at Bear Valley Cabin. Right on the Shenandoah River, this cabin has everything you need for a get-away-from-it-all style retreat. We loved the canoes, easy access to the river for fishing, the fire pit for s'mores, the hot tub (even in the chilly weather)---this cabin has it all. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a respite from their day-to-day life. Already looking forward to our next visit!
