About this property
Log Cabin with a spectacular view of the Shenandoah River and the Massanutten Mo
Enjoy a spectacular view of the Shenandoah River and Valley from the covered stone front porch. This quaint authentic log cabin allows for the peaceful tranquility of the mountains or a home base for a variety of activities both local and nearby. A spacious family room with two leather sofas and a television with DVD player, two bedrooms each with a double bed, and one full bath make this cabin a perfect getaway for up to four guests. There is a fully equipped kitchen including microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven, and dishwasher. The cabin has both central heating and air conditioning for multi-season rental opportunities. An outdoor stone grill and picnic table are located on a patio in back of the cabin. A short pathway leads to stone steps taking you to the river’s edge for swimming, fishing or just dipping your toes. Our property does not have direct boat access, but there is a public boat landing less than 2 miles away.

About the host
Hosted by John McLarin
Why they chose this property
Location, location, Location- Our cabin is the perfect home base for all your outdoor activities and adventures in the Shenandoah Valley. Our log cabin is secluded and built on a 100 foot cliff above the Shenandoah River with 35 acres of privacy. The Shenandoah River State Park and the Skyline Drive northern entrance are both only a ten minutes drive. The newly built Canopy Tours zip line was just open in the summer of 2014 which takes over 3 hour to complete. If you’re more interested in water activities; swimming, fishing or boating is all just a walk or 10 minute ride. There are three boating companies in the area which offer numerous options for floating down the river. Did someone say wine tasting? There are over 30 wineries within 30 minutes of our cabin with new ones opening every year. We hope you will choose our home base for a memorable getaway. The river can be accessed by walking, but does not have river access for launching boats due to the path to the river.
