Our beautiful A-frame cabin overlooks the Shenandoah River. It is ideally suited for couples or small families seeking the perfect mountain getaway, complete with unbeatable views. Enjoy the scenery from the rooftop deck, screened porch, or by the fire pit at this year-round riverfront retreat. Additionally, there is a newly added hot tub that accommodates two people!
Our cabin is located on a beautiful bend on the Shenandoah river, complete with a picturesque view of the mountains in the background. There is much to explore outdoors, but the indoor space will keep you cozy when you want to kick your feet up.
The open concept floor plan allows for plenty of mingling and family time, but when it's time to turn down for the night, everyone will enjoy their own private areas.
The loft hideaway area is accessible by a ladder, which is perfect for small children to sneak away for their own movie time, but only under the supervision of an adult.
Prime location for canoeing, fishing, hiking & biking - the perfect escape to relax in the woods, on the water and to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Shenandoah.

Ashley treated the home with care and respect. Smooth stay all around. Would recommend to any host!
Husband and I had a fantastic stay. What a little slice of tranquility, views of the river where the highlight. We had everything we needed, plenty of firewood, clean hot tub overlooking the lake, beautiful dock on the water. Inside the house was clean, plenty of cookware and grilling utensils. The location in close to the kayak rentals and to downtown Luray. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in nature but still close to amenities.

Valerie took great care of the property during their stay. Friendly and responsive from start to finish. Hope to host again soon!
We absolutely loved staying at The Perch and look forward to staying here again. The cabin itself was perfect for us and the location on the river cant be beat! We enjoyed seeing the heron and osprey while out in the canoe as well as each day from the comfort of the two rocking chairs and hammock near the river!

Tiffany was a pleasure to work with. I recommend them and would host them again.
A wonderful little A-frame style cabin located right along a bend in the Shenandoah River and just 20 minutes from Luray! It was the perfect little weekend getaway spot to disconnect for a while and enjoy nature.
Great stay for a peaceful weekend getaway. Very clean and cozy cabin with wonderful views and plenty of amenities to stay busy. Will definitely make recommendations and a return visit.

The best escape that we could use have hoped for! Beautiful views and songbird symphonies in the morning. Had sunshine and a thunderstorm to enjoy, couldn’t have been a better stay!

Absolutely Perfect!
Excellent place to stay! The set up is really nice!
Lots of space outside to play all kinds of games! Huge outside fireplace, and alot of wood!
Kayaking is awesome! The whole house was perfect! Everyone in my party enjoyed our stay at the Perch! Thank you!
We had a great time at the cabin. We canoed and waded in the river (bring water shoes!). We went to Luray Caverns, had nice bbq at Triple Crown BBQ. We utilized the fire pit both nights of our stay. 5/5 would stay again
The Perch was everything listed on the description! We enjoyed sitting down by the water, a fire in the fire pit and the hot tub. It was a bit of a drive from where we hiked, but it was well worth it for the views of the water.

We love the property (The Perch). Very beautiful river view and access. Love the hot tub. All the daily essentials were ready available in the property. Great bedrooms and beds. Great appliances. There were however a few things that could use improvement; such as the ceiling near the ac/heating unit, which leaked rain water onto the floor. There were also two old cracks on the front glass that face the porch, which are not regular windows but plain glass. In the bathroom, next to the shower, there is a spot under the shower mat that is caving in. Some of the outside amenities could use some cleaning and updating. The porch door could use an inside latch for children safety. Other than that we would definitely rent The Perch again.

The river, the cabin, everything was perfect. Me and my girlfriend came for a weekend away and we enjoyed it so much. The property manager was super nice quick to respond and was very understanding and met and exceeded all our expectations and needs. Will be back.

It is a small rustic home in a secluded bend of the river the views from the roof deck are gorgeous. The home is simple and has had some water damage over the years. I would recommend bringing bottled watered for the well water smells like river water. My wife and myself enjoyed the peace and seclusion and would consider staying there again.
