About this property

Shenandoah Retreat / Walk to river / dog friendly

Escape to the Shenandoah Valley and unwind at Acorn Hill - your private mountain retreat just minutes from the Shenandoah River. Spend your days tubing or kayaking, then relax on the deck, soak in the spa tub, or gather around the fire pit under the stars.

This cozy mountain retreat with open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area is perfect for spending time together. Stream your favorite shows, browse the web, or enjoy a home-cooked meal at the table. Prefer dining outdoors? Fire up the charcoal grill and gather on the spacious back deck. In the evening, unwind around the fire pit, roast s’mores, and take in the star-filled skies.

Dog friendly so your furry travel companion (2 max) are welcome to join the adventure ($60 flat pet fee per stay - no nightly charges).

Acorn Hill comfortably accommodates up to six guests with three bedrooms, each featuring a queen bed. The home includes 1.5 bathrooms—a full bath with a shower (no tub) and a separate room with a large soaking tub and complimentary bath bombs.

While the property isn’t fully secluded, the wooded surroundings and nearby vacation homes create a peaceful, private feel.

Need space for a larger group? Acorn Hill is next door to our other property, Vista Grande, which also sleeps 6. The homes are separated by a wooded lot—close enough for an easy walk between them, yet spaced far enough apart to enjoy your own privacy.

Things to Note: 

The charming town of Luray and the famous Luray Caverns are 20 mins away. 

Thornton Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park (off Hwy 211) is a scenic 25–30 minute drive from the cabin. 

Shenandoah River Outfitters is a walkable distance away (or a 1 minute drive)

Camp fire wood available for purchase ($10 per bundle).

No EV charging is available on-site, and use of indoor or outdoor electrical outlets is not permitted. If you need to charge your vehicle, convenient charging stations can be found in the nearby town of Luray.

The host is super kind and helpful I love the cabin and also their location super accessible. Super pet friendly with blankets for them. My mum husband and dog we enjoy it a lot. The pressure of the water is really good and the heater of the cabin work perfectly. We like a lot also the outdoor park where you can make fire or enjoy the sun on the deck. Special mention for the comfortable coach also.

Loved the place . Loved how large the living room was and the kitchen was stocked with all the utensils that you could possibly use . The only thing that could be improved was the mattresses in the bedrooms . They seem to be older .

Thank you for your kind review. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the space and the fully stocked kitchen, however we were sorry to that the mattresses did not meet your comfort expectations. While they are not old and are regularly maintained, we understand that mattress comfort is very personal, and we apologize if they affected your stay in any way. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
