About the host

Host profile image
I am a dad, amateur cook, dog lover and avid traveler. I'm a fan of water sports and fishing. I share the cabin with my wife, tween son and 15 lb. Chiweenie Ollie.

We live in Northern Virginia and get down to the cabin every other week for pleasure and at least once a week to restock and inspect.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I both love the water and had been looking for a waterfront vacation home for two years - mostly in the wrong places! This spring, our neighbor bought a house down river on the Shenandoah, which turned us on to the Shenandoah Valley. The minute we set foot in the back (front?) yard of our cabin we knew it was the one.

There is something about the little brook that runs through the property, the fire pit, geese dancing in the river and the friendly kayakers waving as they float on by that really caught our attention.

What makes this property unique

Not only is the actual lot beautiful, the location is really unbeatable. It feels remote and you're surrounded by nature, but it's close enough to amenities that a 15 minute ride can have you sipping wine at the Valley Cork in Luray, a 30 minute drive puts you at Muse Vineyards in Woodstock. In 40 minutes you're in Harrisonburg - a vibrant college town of 50k people, or in Washington, VA - home of the famous Inn.

The lot itself is flat and reasonably private. It's wide enough that while you can see the neighbors to your left while sitting in the yard, they are far enough away as to not be intrusive. On the right the property is separated from the other neighbors by shrubbery and hedges, so you won't even notice they're there.
