A beautiful large well appointed home on the banks of the Shenandoah River with 3 overlooking decks. Perfect for kayaking (kayaks provided)or fishing off the dock. Close driving to glorious hikes in the National Park, National Forest or State Park. We will definitely return!

This is one of the most well equipped VRBOs I've ever stayed in. It has everything you could want and it's easy to find. The views are beautiful; I could have easily spent hours just hanging out on the decks. It was an easy drive to cute downtown Front Royal and Skyline Drive. We also enjoyed using the kayaks. Highly recommend!

Great Stay

Our stay at Bala’s home was wonderful. The location right on the river is perfect for a relaxing getaway. A very close drive to the National Park and Front Royal. The home is updated nicely and amenities are well stocked, above average kitchen supplies from the typical vacation rental. Do note that there are no tvs in the bedrooms which we appreciated but some may not. Overall it was great.
