WELCOME TO YOUR SHENANDOAH VALLEY ESCAPE
Step outside the home and take in the expanse of valley fields stretching toward the mountain ridgeline. The outdoor deck overlooks the broad meadow and mountain range, making it a peaceful place for morning coffee, birdwatching, or quiet sunset dinners with sweeping views. Morning light filters across the grass, the river glimmers through the trees, and the valley begins its peaceful daily rhythm.
In the evenings, follow the soft glow down to the firepit near the river, where the mountains fade into dusky blues. Settle into an Adirondack chair as stars appear over the meadows — bright, clear, and endless.
This is a place where kids chase fireflies, couples stroll by the river at sunset, fishermen wade into the clear shallows in search of smallmouth bass, and families reconnect in the quiet beauty of the Shenandoah.

RIVERSIDE PAVILION & OUTDOOR SPACES
Follow the grassy path to the riverside pavilion tucked beneath tall sycamores along a calm bend of the North Fork.
Here you can:
Relax in hammocks as the river drifts by
Share meals under the covered pavilion
Wade into clear, shallow water
Launch kayaks & tubes directly from the shoreline
Gather around the riverside firepit at sunset (firewood provided)
Fish for smallmouth bass, sunfish & fallfish
Watch sunset colors reflect across the water
In the evenings, the firepit near the river becomes a gathering place — the warmth of the flames, the scent of the forest, and the sound of the water create a truly unforgettable atmosphere.
200 ACRES TO EXPLORE
From open fields to forest edges, the property offers endless space to wander and play.
From the large rock near the home, walk directly into George Washington National Forest, where trails weave through trees and open to expansive views.
Wildlife is abundant, and guests often spot:
Deer in the early morning light
Bald eagles circling above the river
Osprey diving for fish
Great blue herons gliding low across the water
Ducks paddling through quiet bends
Wild turkeys crossing the fields
Songbirds filling the valley with sound
You may also see our two friendly cows who roam the pastures — gentle fixtures of the land who add to the peaceful charm.
If you're lucky, you may even spot river otters frolicking in the gentle eddies — a magical sight when it happens.
It’s a landscape that invites adventure, discovery, and quiet appreciation.

We loved the house and beautiful property. We had nice furnishings, comfortable beds, and great wifi for the whole family. We would stay there again and again when we come visit our family nearby in Winchester
Beautiful setting, great hosts, clean house that felt bright and airy. We had a large rain just prior to our stay that caused the River to rise above the bridge. Host reached out right away and kept us informed frequently of status and progress. Bridge was passable just hours prior to our arrival but we had no issues thanks to her great communication. Highly recommend!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING property location and home!! The house was cozy, very clean, fully equipped with everything you could ever need, comfortable beds, STUNNING VIEWS from every window of the home. It’s right next to the river where our family enjoyed fishing, tubing & kayaking. A trail head is right there to o & the cows are so fun to visit. The owner was so friendly and excellent communication. We will be coming back many more times!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! THANK YOU for giving our family such a memorable vacation we will never forget!
We had a very nice weekend in a beautiful area. It was a very peaceful stay. The house was very well equipped and we had a nice time kayaking and tubing on the river. The host was very helpful and available for any questions.
This was our 3rd or 4th stay at this lovely and comfortable farmhouse. Kathleen is an excellent host; kind, caring, responsive, and communicative. The property, both inside and out is beautiful, and we absolutely love the rescue steer residents. We enjoyed Happy Hour by the river and daily hikes in Shenandoah National Park and other local parks. We will happily return again.
Beautiful country property. The host was wonderful and very easy to communicate with. My wife, our three college student kids, and our middle schooler all found the property to be clean, comfortable, and homey. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a vacation away from busyness.
Amazing property that we had all to ourselves! Friendly farmers that let us pet and feed the cows and even gave us fresh vegetables from their garden. Water was high during our trip due to all of the rain but we still have a blast at the fire pit, in the water tubing, fishing and just roaming the farm. Even made a giant slip and slide out of the hillside for the kids. They have a basement full of tubes for use, wildlife everywhere and a fully stocked house. We saw bald eagles, skunks, deer and turkey. If you’re looking for seclusion and serenity you’ve found it. The owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be back.
Charming house in a beautiful setting. The house was equipped with everything you could need. The hosts were very helpful when asked but always gave us our privacy.
Overall even better than advertised. We couldn’t be happier with our stay.
The property was peaceful. There are plenty of paces to stroll and nearby hiking trails as well. The sound of the water was soothing and relaxing. I am sure it must be a great retreat from the heat of the summer as tubing and kayaking would be readily available.
We had a fantastic time at the farm house. We saw local sites, spent time with family in Winchester, and relaxed on the Shenandoah river! Beautiful home, all amenities covered! Owners quick to respond when we had a power ououttage. .when we
Peace just descends on us all when we stay here. The home is beautiful, well-stocked, and very clean. We hardly want to leave the property when we're there. However, we did enjoy the "wilds" of Harper's Ferry and ventured into a couple of the small communities nearby. All worth it, but we're always happy to return to "heaven".
Everything was perfect. The pictures of the property don’t do the beauty justice. Gorgeous setting in the valley, by the river, with mountain range all around. The house had everything we needed and more. We’ll be back again for sure!

Very peaceful and quiet farm house. The house is beautiful. The bridge looks scary but it was ok after the first time. The house has everything you need. Kathleen is very nice and will get right back to you with any concerns you might have. It was a awesome time. Hope to go back soon.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for us.
We strive to please our guests and make your stay enjoyable.
We hope you will return soon! Fall is a Spectacular Time of Year :)
What a view! Surrounded by mountains my friends and I ha d a great weekend wading thru the river fishing and taking in the scenery. The property was amazing, the home was clean and very well maintained. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Ran into the owner who was with her team maintaining the property and she was very pleasant. The beds were very comfortable. Laundry situation was great as well. 5 Stars from us fellas.
This place IS the destination! The house was very nice and very accommodating. The river front was the attraction. Outside of a few day trips to hike in the national forest and see the caverns, we hung out on the property the whole time. fishing, tubing, kayaking, fire pit, secluded privacy as far as you can see, wildlife, Berry picking, hiking trail up the mountain, lunch picnics under the mature trees and beautiful sunsets…. I could go on, but please do not fill up this properties calander, because we will definitely be back!
