We had an awesome stay here. The cabin was super clean, in a perfect location, and had everything we needed and more. It was comfortable, easy, and exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend!
The cabin was beautiful, very clean and well stocked. Excellent communication with the host. Great location, felt secluded, but quick access to town for shopping and dining. The hot tub was very clean and the game room was a great bonus. Will definitely stay again.

The host , Jan, was fantastic. Very responsive to any questions we had. The cabin was beautiful and VERY clean. We had everything we needed as far as amenities. Beds and furniture were very comfortable! We had beautiful views of the river.
My husband and I stayed here for our 20th anniversary. It was a great cabin, very peaceful and quite area. Loved the game room when we got bored enough to need something to do but didnt want to go out! Close enough to town without being in town!

Appricate the positive review coming from great guests.
Beautiful house on the river. It was so quiet , relaxing and everything was so clean. Unfortunately we didn't get to use the hot tub since we forgot our suits. We checked out Fort Valley Ranch for Horse back riding and the Haunted House as we were there for Halloween.

About the host
Hosted by Jan David Vile
A lifetime resident of the area, I have been blessed to live in such a beautiful area. Hiking in the mountains, and spending time on the river are some of the activities my wife and I enjoy. We are always happy to share some of this information with our guests to help make a more enjoyable experience.
What makes this property unique
One of the things I like most about the cabin, is you're on the river, but not far from town, Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park and many other local attractions.
