The cottage was in such a nice location. The views around the property were incredible. About 20 min from Shenandoah entrance. Every morning we woke up to A family of deer right outside our cottage. The stars at night were amazing. And everything we needed was provided. Plus it was one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed in.

The host was very friendly and helpful! They responded quickly and were very kind. The place was so cute and quite in a remote field with such peaceful surroundings of nature. The nearby river is so clear and fun to explore. The views are incredible as well.

This was one of the most unique places we have ever stayed. The room was nice and had everything we needed and the views were amazing. We loved the entry to the property as well as the privacy being the lone cottage offered. It made an excellent base camp for our treks to Shenandoah.

Great escape from the daily grind

My mom gifted this VRBO to my wife and I as a Babymoon vacation. I was unsure at first, but this ended up being my favorite place to get away from the day to day stress. The place is very cozy and peaceful. Definitely a country setting, which we appreciated.

Shenandoah weekend adventure

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this unique place! The house is on a beautiful property and was a short drive to both Shenandoah and Elkton and maybe about 15 minutes from the nearest park entrance. The place is pretty small but was perfect for my boyfriend and I since we were spending most of our time exploring the surrounding area.

Great weekend away

The property is in the Shenandoah valley with great views of the mountains. It's a nice solar-powered cabin with everything you need for a stay- grill, small fridge, 2 burner stove, microwave, and wifi. Plenty of chairs for outdoor seating. The owner was very communicative and helpful. I had no issues with the stay and highly recommend staying here for a hiking weekend or to get out of town and enjoy some quiet time. I look forward to staying here again!

Perfect Stay for Relaxation

Had the chance to stay here with my teenage son while we toured the caverns in the local area. The host is honestly one of the best I've encountered, providing perfect directions and being super flexible as we had to make some last-minute changes. The property is gorgeous and perfectly separated from the main property, leaving you in the silence of nature and ability to view all of the stars. The proximity of the rover was a bonus and enjoyed by both the humans and our pet dog. Overall, this is one of the absolutely best stays I've had on VRBO and highly recommend it if you're touring the local parks and/or caverns. .

Amazing Getaway!

My husband and our dogs stayed for a weekend getaway in July and we loved our stay. The views from the cabin are stunning and we loved the tranquility of the farm. Scot was amazing and offered us multiple local recommendations for food, coffee, and wineries. We definitely recommend grabbing coffee at Moxie 33 during your stay and getting wine slushies at White Oak Lavender Farm. The cabin was cool during an extremely hot July weekend and we enjoyed having a place with a shower to clean up and relax. Of course, this cabin is on a farm and there are animals nearby and some bugs. Didn’t bother us at all, but just saying for awareness. Thanks for letting us enjoy this beautiful property! We will definitely be back :)

2nd Stay at Rivergreen

To start, I want to thank Scot for his incredible hospitality. This was our second time staying here. Most places will slowly cut corners to “cheapen” the experience. Not here. They’ve ADDED amenities since last year. Grills down by the river with tables and chairs! A clear path to walk there. It really was twice as nice versus last year. Also, having to walk 8 feet outside to flip a switch and push a button to turn on a generator, not an issue at all. Thanks again Scot. See you next year!

Okasana- Thank you so much for the very kind words. We really do try to improve where we can when at all possible. You and your husband are a pleasure to host!!!!!! We want you to come back year after year! Thank you for leaving the cabin in great condition, not to mention the very comfy chairs that you have left behind for future guests to enjoy! Take care- Scot

Cozy and clean

This little cottage was very clean and cozy. It is far off the road but close to a lot. A great location for Skyline drive. Good eats nearby. I would recommend an SUV, a sedan might bottom out on the road coming in. I gave 4 stars overall because of the latrine.. It is a compost toilet and there is an odor. The flies were bad because of this. Don’t plan to do a lot of cooking. Pots pans utensils were limited. We cooked steaks on the gri and our forks and knives bent trying to cut them. We have bad backs and the bed was very hard. But you are secluded and right on the Shenandoah River. There is a nice area to sit near the water. We drove down because the path is rather treacherous. The price was right and Scot was an attentive and gracious host.

This tiny, off the grid house is well appointed, the air conditioner worked great (although I only needed it the first night), and the bed was firm and super comfy. Read the directions carefully. If you think you are lost because you are driving through the middle of a cornfield, don’t worry. You’re not. Just keep going. This house is literally in the middle of a cow field and I loved waking up to them grazing just past the fence each morning. Make sure you read the instructions for the composting toilet. It’s not hard. It’s just different than you may be used to. I didn’t use the TV, microwave, or stove because i spent my days at JMU. Even though it’s about 30 minutes from the university, it’s an easy drive and there is a Starbucks just before you get on the highway.

So disappointing!!!

My wife and I are long distance hikers and world travelers definitely used to rough camping conditions. But never, not in the most primitive cabins or yurts, did we have to experience such a level of ??? This "cabin" was exceedingly dirty. Obviously it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. Moldy shower curtain; Leaky A/C unit; Cob webs everywhere; Not even a table to have dinner (when a "full" kitchen is provided, one would assume that a small table and a minimum of 2 chairs would go with it? however: "no table was advertised..." was the owner's answer); No shelf or cupboard to put clothing on or in; No hook to hang a jacket or a coat. And, YES, we have photos to illustrate these facts.

Michel & Sylvie- Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. Upon meeting the two of you, I was met with crossed arms and a bit of defiance. Our cabins are thoroughly cleaned after each and every stay. There was a bit of sawdust that one of our maintenance people did not get off the wall near an air vent that was just installed on the wall. I apologized and started to clean this off when you (Michel) told me not to clean it. As I told you, the pictures of our properties accurately depict what is provided. This is a small cabin, and as such there is no room for a standing table. As with all of our reviews, we do try to learn and improve on what we can do better. Thank you for pointing out that there were no racks to hang clothing or coats. As hosts, we sometimes do overlook some things. There is now a rack to hang clothing/coats, etc. All of our reviews via VRBO has been a 5 star up until this point. Of course, our properties are listed on other platforms and our reviews for this property have been excellent. In closing, I believe this was a case of "buyers remorse." Scot

Pros and Cons

Overall, the stay is fine. At the price point, my spouse and I weren’t expecting luxury. We were excited to spend a weekend in Shenandoah Valley, go hiking, enjoy the scenery, and spend time with our dog. The house is located on a back pasture of a large farm. It is very beautiful. The first con for us was finding the entrance to the house. The road to the house goes through the farm on a rough terrain path. One part of the road is very steep, and I would strongly suggest bringing either a truck or SUV with good clearance to be able to make it. A car would likely struggle getting up the path. There is an electric fence around the house, which our dog zapped himself on once. The listing states walk to river, but the path is steep, overgrown, with only an electric fence to hold onto. The interior of the home was nice, but this is not the place for bug-fearers. The porch was covered in spiders. We found a few in the home, as well. On the first morning, my wife found a tick on my pillow inches from my head. There were a few stains on the comforter when we arrived as well. The owner was very responsive, kind and helpful. Overall - we had a good stay but want to let others know of what to expect. TLDR: Pros - the price and location. The nearby town is lovely. 20 mins to Shenandoah National Park, wineries and brewries. Beautiful landscape. Hot showers. Cons: Bugs (spiders, ticks), road may be too rough for a sedan, trail to river is steep and overgrown.

Perfect

This beautiful place brought me peace and comfort. It was the perfect getaway. This trip made me feel whole again. It was exactly what I/we needed. If you're looking to get away from chaos and the world...it was a home away from home. secluded but close enough to what's needed. I loved how we had options to get down near the river. That was good exercise for us and the dogs. Thankfully I had a few cows to motivate me with these hikes. If they can walk up these hills....then so can you! I thought. As they stare at me catching my breathe. haha We had great service if needed. I was impressed. It was so cozy in the cottage. It looked & smelled so clean/fresh. We were able to me Scot. He went above and beyond to make sure we were settled in. With quick detailed responses. He even took the time to meet us per my request. So we got a tour of all the other available options for the future. I asked about places to eat (I LOVE food) He took his time and responded with plenty of options/descriptions/websites...that was fabulous cause I wouldn't even do all that. So that was a big + for me, We ended up eating at Hank's Grille & Catering. Cooked in the rest of the nights. Hank's was a unique looking place...very cool. Food was bangin! Kline's Dairy Bar also has amazing hot fudge sundaes. I cannot wait to come back to this area. This trip will forever have a place in my heart. Thank you for this experience. "Come as you are, however broken And we will see if we can make you whole again Come as you are with your heart wide open" Zach Bryan (first time listening to him while at the cottage. these words stuck with me.) THE END. Thanks for reading.
