This beautiful home, which we have named The Snug, is a guest favorite in our Rolling River Holidays rental portfolio! The house was designed and built by the owner of the property, Frank O'Reilly, and not a detail was left out. The house is located on a stunning ten acre river site on the 108 acre Rolling River Farm, and is nestled in the trees. Walk out of the back of the house, onto any of the three levels of decks and patios and be met by lovely views of the Shenandoah River.

The interior boasts 3 bedrooms (2 ensuite), 3.5 baths. The central feature of the home is the custom-designed spiral staircase, which winds from the full and spacious basement up to the cozy top floor master suite that is nestled up in the treetops.

The full, bright kitchen offers plenty of counter space and a movable island with extra seating. It also features a comfortable, built in dining space that is also a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning with morning sun warming your face.

The upstairs living room, just beside the kitchen, is the perfect place for relaxing, playing board games, and snuggling up by the gas fireplace. Down in the basement is a large media and rec room space, where you can gather for movies or some healthy competition around the foosball or orbital air hockey tables.

While the inside space is incredibly welcoming, you can also seamlessly enjoy the great outdoor spaces that the house provides. The patio off the basement, which is home to the hot tub, is also a great place to enjoy a hot summer day in the shade. The deck off the main floor acts just like an extension to the main living room and adds an outdoor dining option for glorious summer evenings. The private deck on the top floor, designed for the enjoyment of the guests in the master suite, is as secluded and peaceful as it gets and is a great place to read a book, go tanning, or just enjoy the view.

Just a short walk down the hill you can also enjoy the wood burning fire pit, which sits on a handsome rock bluff, with sweeping views of the water. Its the perfect place to spend an Autumn night with friends and family reminiscing and telling stories.

The house also has private access to the Shenandoah River and 3 kayaks for you to enjoy at no extra charge. The river is one of the highlights of the property and we want you to enjoy it to the fullest.

Rolling River Farm is located just 15 minutes from Downtown Front Royal, which is a small, but growing town that is proud to be the named "The Canoe Capital of Virginia", as well as the gateway to Skyline Drive.

We are only 1.5 hour drive (75 miles approx) from the center of Washington DC for those guests looking to visit all that our nation's capital has to offer. Also an easy one hour drive from Dulles Airport, where many of our international visitors arrive. If you are interested in Civil War battlefields, we are surrounded by some of the more famous historical sights marking that sad time in our nation's history.

Rolling River Farm is truly a one of a kind property and we can't wait to host you at The Snug!

About the host

Hosted by Frank O'Reilly

Host profile image
The O'Reilly family took over stewardship of the magnificent Rolling River Farm from the Hoskins family who had owned it since before the Civil War. Grace began managing the rentals on behalf of her dad, Frank, so that he could concentrate on dreaming and designing...and the The Snug is one of those creations.

Why they chose this property

Located an hour from the Washington Beltway and Dulles Airport you will not spend lots of your holiday reaching a real getaway. Perfect for a quick weekend refresher or a summer vacation on the water. Our first guests have already dubbed time here as living the "Snug Life"

What makes this property unique

River and Blue Ridge Mountain views. There is river access for boating or fishing. Walk out your door and enjoy hiking around the farm or the nearby Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest. Shopping and restaurants and bars are all nearby if you can bring yourselves to leave (some of our guests cannot).
