About this property

Tavern River Cabin, Historical, Riverfront, Log, Hottub, Large Stone Fireplace

Tavern River Cabin is a riverfront cabin located at the Shenandoah River's edge just outside the town of Luray and is centrally located to all activities such as Skyline Drive hiking, Luray Caverns, canoeing, horseback riding, vineyards in every direction and much more.

This authentic circa 1700’s river front log cabin, comes complete with an enormous gorgeous stone wood burning fireplace (wood supplied seasonally), super therapeutic 7 person hot tub outside with stunning river views, antique plank floors throughout, country porches, and is merely steps into the Shenandoah River. This cabin has very easy and convenient access to the town of Luray, grocery stores, restaurants, etc.

It has a fantastic new very large observation dock/deck just above the river with splendid views and easy access to river for fishing and swimming. There's a walking low water bridge for wading across river in summer. It's also a 100 year old fishing spot. The antique chandeliers on dimmers with skylights are an extra added touch. Simply Charming!!!

NOTE: MINIMAL STAYS: It is a two night minimal stay with the exception of federal holidays which are a three night minimal stay.

This was perfect spot for a short get away. We took out lab with us and wanted direct access to the river. While getting down the hill to the river was a little rough since there aren’t any steps (though there aren’t the dock), it was the perfect swimming and fishing spot. We will visit again!

We had a blast fishing, walking and wading in the rocky bottom Shenandoah River!! My dog enjoyed the water also. We stayed 4 days. The cabin was great. We brought our own linens and towels. Walmart and Fast food only 10 minutes away. Bring water shoes, flashlights, jugs of water and bug spray. Hot tub was great after hiking in in the SNP. It wasn't all the way full but still worked good enough for me!AC was great. There is a smart TV downstairs. No TV in bedroom. I would return! Pretty clean and host was great!!

If you want a peaceful quiet place to get away and relax, this is the place! It was perfect for us! From the hot tub to the stunning view…. We were in heaven. Sitting out on the dock watching the sun rise, listening to the birds and the water flow down the river was so relaxing. We could see the mountains too. The wrap around deck was perfect, especially because it rained one day and we could still sit outside and enjoy the views and stay dry. AC worked great. Kitchen was small but clean with a few items there to help you make your favorite meal. We will definitely remember this stay forever.

We booked the cabin for a 2 night stay for a quick getaway after our wedding and before our honeymoon in Nov and we’re really excited about being on the river to relax for a few days.Pros: Cabin was quaint. AC and heat worked great. Kitchen was stocked with the adequate amount of items to be able to prepare meals. Bed was comfortable. River was great. We had fun wading in the water and my husband fished quite a bit. It was quiet and peaceful.Cons: Staying at a cabin on the river should be a space where you enjoy your time outdoors curled up with a good book,taking a nap or just enjoying the view but you need comfy and clean seating.The chairs were old and moldy, there was no comfy spot to sit on the porch or on the deck overlooking the water. Having such a nice wrap around porch there should be some decent furniture to enjoy and there just isn’t. The deck over the water should also provide adequate seating to be able to relax and lights to enjoy it at night. The hot tub is leaking underneath and was only filled half way so the water wasn’t even reaching the filter so it was not usable at all. The shower needs a thorough cleaning to include the shower doors. The cobwebs throughout the house and property need to be cleaned. The ashes in the fireplace have been left for quite sometime so the entire downstairs spells very strong of ash.Overall we made the best of it and enjoyed our time together.

Hidden Gem in the Forrest!

Cute little property, take lots of bug spray! Hot tub is relaxing. If you take your dogs, just be careful if they are not dog friendly, as sometimes the neighbor dogs come onto the property. The town is extremely dog friendly too!

Amazing views!!

This house was just the coolest with its vintage log cabin vibe, and the gigantic fireplace was such a hit for my husband and I! It was so cozy and warm, and we loved, listening to the rapids right outside the screen door. Chemicals in the hot tub We’re pretty strong tho.. the steam was actually stinging my eyes and nose. Other than that everything was just perfect.

I would suggest it only be rented in fall, summer, or spring. It has an air conditioner in a window and that permits very cold air into the living area. But it is adorable.

Can’t wait to go back!

We LOVED staying at this cabin. We live right outside of DC and were looking for a spot to unplug and relax for the weekend. The cabin was just under 2 hours away and it looked perfect online - turns out it was even better than perfect in person! Donna and Brad are lovely people and they were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. The cabin is PERFECT!!! It’s clean, spacious and in the perfect spot. The porch and deck have amazing views and the property itself is perfectly tucked away so you don’t deal with the typical car noises and such. I honestly think we’ve found our spot for the years to come and can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful cabin

The cabin was great for a couple. The rustic feel of the cabin, the fireplace, hot tub, and sitting on the deck by the river. Most everything was great, but my only complaint was the quality of the mattress on the bed. It was very soft with a noticeable dip in the middle. As a side sleeper, it was uncomfortable and had to sleep on my back. Otherwise, great place and grear location!

Rules, rules, rules - Beautiful place with too many rules

It's a beautiful place that is wonderfully isolated along a river, but the number and diversity of rules for the cabin are a bit much. While it is certainly the owner's discretion on how to manage their properties, there are literally pages of rules, rules framed on walls, rules on end tables, etc. which took away from some of our enjoyment due to trying to avoid any rule mistakes.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Dec 2021
Thank you for your review and your kind words as we always strive for excellence. Every business has rules and regulations. Our rules are put in place to protect the integrity of the cabin and to make sure there are no problems for the following and future guests. Our rules are simple and primarily request that our cabins are left clean, pick up after your pet, no slaming logs into fire place and breaking grate, no rip roaring huge fires that could cause a chimney fire and no trespassing onto other people's property. Just basic simple respect for the cabin and others. That's about it. Personally I would not feel comfortable staying in a place with no rules. Most guests are very respectful, however unfortuneately it just takes one to ruin it for others. Most of our rules were put in place after an ocassional unruley guest created a problem. Thank you.

About the host

Host profile image
We love old world cabins and history so we had this cabin built in 2007 out of 200-300 year old logs and antique barn wood trim. It is truly a work of art. It's where the historic old world beauty meets the modern day amenities. Just perfect.

The very large fireplace mimics the ones that were built in the 1700s that were used for everything from heat to cooking.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is not just a lodging accommodation, its an experience. It is really authentic with hand made kitchen cabinets. Even the bathroom door is handmade. The majority of this cabin is hand made down to the hand-hewn logs. However it is wonderful to have the modern amenities such as the skylights bringing in natural light, central heat and AC, beautiful chandeliers with dimmers., beautiful stone bathroom with shower, etc. And of course, it's on the Shenandoah River with gorgeous views and easy access into the river.

What makes this property unique

Antique logs, chinking, country porch, dock on river, skylights, location excellent, huge stone wood burning fireplace. The list goes on and on. It's furnished with cool antiques. Perfect place to fall in love with history and nature again or just have a great time hiking and playing in the river.
