About this property

River Woods Retreat: Hot Tub, Hikes, 2 Fireplaces, EV

**NEW PHOTOS as of June 17th, 2026*** We have a new game room as of March 2026 featuring a TV/couches, 8 Foot Brunswick Slate Billiard/Pool Table, Wet Bar Area, Desk, bathroom/shower and Small Table for Board Games) with easy access to the hot tub and our outdoor views.

There are two fire places. One fireplace is in the main living area and the other fire place is in the first floor master bedroom. The fireplace in the master bedroom is shared with the private master bathroom.

The master bedroom has a TV, fireplace and it's own private bathroom. The private bathroom shares the fireplace with the master, has dual sinks, a bath tub and a shower

The upstairs features a full bath, two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is 'also a bonus loft which has a futon overlooking the downstairs areas.

******EV Charger****

We have a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 (40 A) for EVs. It has the SAE J1772 (non-Tesla) connection.

*******Hot Tub*******
We have a 460 gallon Jacuzzi Brand Hot Tub. It's 91 x 91 x 38 inches, waterfall, 4 Stage filtration system, Dedicated Circulation pump, UV-C ray filtration. Most low end rental hot tubs will be 76 inches x 66 inches and 32 inches deep. They will not have a dedicated circulation pump, UV-C ray filtration and if you are lucky a single stage filtration system.


**********FAQ**********
Do we need a 4x4?
The roads are paved entirely except for our quarter mile driveway and the last half mile of state roads. My 2007 Ford Focus has no problem with these roads.

However, during a major snow storm (6 plus inches), AWD is helpful.

Can I access the river through the HOA access point?
Yes, the HOA access point is about a ten minute walk from the cabin. However, you would need to provide your own water equipment (tubes, kayaks, life jackets).

Can we have an early check-in/late check-out?
Early check-in possible if the night before is vacant. We can confirm 5PM the day before check-in.

Check out is at 11. No late check-out (cleaners need five hours to clean the home to get it ready for a 4PM check-in)

What types of beds do you have?
We have one king bed, two queen beds and a futon. The futon is on the upstairs loft and doesn't have much privacy. Probably best for a young child.

What do we need to bring to cook?
We have a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils, cups, pots, plates, silverware, glasses and dish ware.

Can we bring extra guests (beyond 6)?
Our limit is strictly set by the HoA, County and State.
Do I need to bring firewood?

Yes, you do need to bring your own firewood for the OUTDOOR fire pit. The fireplaces inside are gas and do not require firewood. Note that there are burn bans in Virginia from February 15th each year through April 30th. We ask that you respect those to protect our National Forest when they are in place(grill and fireplace use still permitted during burn bans).

**WATER**
The property uses both a Culligan treated well and a septic system.amazing!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Mark

Host profile image
We live in Reston and we own two vacation homes out in the Shenandoah. River Woods Retreat is our oasis when I'm not otherwise traveling for work or hosting guests.

Pre-COVID, I would travel 110+ days per year for work. I have the top tier status with several hotel chains. The top tier status has led to some over the top accommodations at hotels. I try to bring that same top tier status experience to guests at our cabin

Why they chose this property

My Dad lives down the street (half mile away) and I've enjoyed visiting him in his cabin over the years. I purchased this place to create similar memories for myself.

What makes this property unique

This place allows you to enjoy the outdoor space while eating or BBQing.

We also strive to be a premium listing. Most people that stay here mention in their reviews that our cabin is the nicest cabin they've stayed at in the Shenandoah area. We also don't see this as an investment property, we see this as our vacation home. We reinvest everything back into the property
