About Frank O'Reilly and Sean O'Reilly
My wife Angelique and I bought this historic property from a family that had owned it for 155 years! This once in a lifetime chance (several lifetimes actually) was simply too much to miss. With such a spectacular riverfront location, our goal was to create the most memorable vacation retreat in the Shenandoah Valley. After years of planning and design for a river cottage, to compliment the existing renovated farmhouse (a ten minute walk away through the woods and rolling fields), the results are yours to enjoy. One of our sons Sean took over online reservations in 2012 but dad Frank is still the 'boots on the ground' and will be on the other end of the phone if you call. Our family never tires of it and it is our joy to share it with you.
Frank O'Reilly and Sean O'Reilly purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Frank O'Reilly and Sean O'Reilly chose Shenandoah Valley
After 30 years of living on the Shenandoah River, enjoying it's beauty and recreational possibilities, we were still awestruck by the sheer magnitude and combination of nature's bounty possessed by this farm...thousands of feet of River Front, sweeping views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, acres of rolling hills and woods, sunrises, sunsets...the list goes on and on.
What makes this cottage unique
'Peacefulness without loneliness' is an old Irish expression that captures the private wooded riverside retreat yet convenience of so many attractions, shops and restaurants nearby to the River Overlook Cottage at Rolling River Farm.

The perfect get-away!
As always, staying in a Rolling River Farm property is the best get-away. So close to home, yet it feels a universe away. The Overlook is the third of their four houses we've visited and it was as special as the others. We fished, hiked, went to the drive-in, floated on the pontoon, sat by the fire and had a wonderful, relaxing time. Everything about the house was perfect! Thank you again, O'Reilly family, for helping us make some wonderful family memories. See you at the Farmhouse!
Amazing secluded home
Our 21st year of a group of guys getting together somewhere to golf and relax. We found a gem here. It started out a bit hairy, as our I-Phone directed us to take a right onto what we now refer to as Megadeath Lane. ( its something like Magearth) Driving down the dirt "driveway" we came to a fork which the phone said bear left. Unfortunately there was a gate with a sign that said something about the owner has a gun and will use it. Not sure what to do at this point, we drove through said gate. Then we met the owner who was not very pleased about us being there. After him ranting and screaming about I-Phones he directed us the right way to go. SO if your directions tell you to take a right at Megadeath Lane, DO NOT! continue past that dirt "driveway" and at the next fork bear right. If you are then on a road with a wooden fence on both sides you are all set. Continue on as instructed from that point. About the house. Heed warnings about the driveway. If you are driving a corvette, you don't want this house. The house in great. Clean and homey are the best ways to describe it. Beds were comfortable, the views amazing. The kitchen had everything you needed. Be advised that this house is way above the river. There is a path/road going down to the river, but it is so steep, I wouldnt drive my 4 wheel drive pickup down it. A jeep maybe, but thats all. Going to the river and coming back up is a great cardio workout. there are 3 kayaks down at the river which made it convenient, but we brought 3 more with us, so carrying them back up was quite a work out. I want to comment about the train noise that someone else mentioned. Its not like Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny, but more just a distant horn coming from somewhere. With the windows open, it woke me a few times, but I chose to leave the windows open. On the way to the house, there are a few shopping plazas with anything you could need to get for your stay. as well as places to eat. We golfed at a decent course that was only a few miles away as well called Sly Fox. They are bringing it back from being let go, and its really starting to take shape. It was a nice layout. The brewpub nearby (backroom brewery?) was ok. In closing, we would go back in a heartbeat. Being from Massachusetts, it may be a few years, but we had a great time. I had to call Sean a few times, which wasnt an issue (nice guy) My only suggestion would be to put the address numbers on the gate so you know u are at the right place
Great stay. Highly Recommended!
Loved the cottage. It was perfect for our guys golf weekend. Hot tub and fire pit was great! Had everything we needed to cook at the house. The best part was waking up, sitting on the patio (upstairs and downstairs), and just enjoying the mountain air. Thanks again and can't wait to stay here again.
Christendom Graduation
We had a wonderful stay at The Overlook. The home is beautiful and nicely appointed. We had everything that we needed. The view was incredible. The peace and serenity of the home and surroundings were palpable. The beds were very comfortable. The home sleeps 10 comfortably. The patio, deck, and fire pit made the stay even better. The kitchen has everything that you could need. We absolutely loved it!
Beauiful cabin with stunning view
This was a stunning place. The pictures don't really do it justice. The view of the mountain and river, the cabin it's self, is lovely. The patio was one of our favorite points. The roses and other flowers were blooming at the time. The firepits were greatly enjoyed as well, we hosted a lot of smores making! The kitchen is awesome. Lots of space and has pretty much everything possible. The dishes were beautiful btw. The beds were very comfortable, I was in the master bedroom and it was the most comfortable bed we've been in besides our own at home. The living room was spacious but cozy, the couch and chairs comfortable.
Our only real complaint was the lack of soundproofing. The ceiling above the master is extremely thin. We could hear our companion snore, roll over in bed, walk, listen to youtube, etc. Even our friends in the living room could hear that bedroom's occupant. That coupled with the thinner curtains in the master bedroom made it difficult to sleep in. I'd suggest upgrading to blackout.
Otherwise we had an amazing stay and highly recommend this cabin. Sean was also wonderful to work with. He was very patient with us and answered every question we had. Would love to return someday!
Beautiful house, gorgeous scenery and very relaxing
We had a wonderful friends weekend and we all thought that the house was amazing! We enjoyed kayaking and relaxing in the hot tub! The house had everything that we needed and more and we couldn't ask for more beautiful scenery for our daily walks around the property.
