About this property

River's Bend Ranch is a guest ranch and event venue owned and operated by the McConnell family for almost 40 years. We sit on over 250 beautiful acres nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the George Washington National Forest. With a half-mile of shoreline on the Shenandoah River, and over 20 bedrooms on-site, RBR offers the perfect setting for family gatherings, weddings & receptions, group retreats, or just a quiet weekend getaway.
On the ranch guests can enjoy fishing, birding, and walking trails, as well as lawn games and our indoor game room. Trail rides along our piece of the Shenandoah's South Fork are available to guests and the general public, and can accommodate any riding ability.
With the quaint town of Luray, its famous Caverns, and the incredible Skyline Drive just a few miles out, RBR offers access to activities for all tastes and ages.

The property's original Ranch House features a nostalgic country decor and has a large kitchen with a 6ft. island and 12-person table, comfortable family room, formal dining room, five bedrooms and two full baths. Linens and kitchenware provided, as well as flat-screen cable TV. The playground in the side yard and the nearby game room make this a wonderful spot to spend quality time with family and friends! Fire pit and gas grill - firewood and propane provided.

Quiet, clean and beautiful surroundings

Beautiful ranch with nice views. The house is old but very clean and smells fresh. The beds are pretty comfy. The place is very spacious for my friends and our dogs. We will definitely consider it again in the future.

60th Birthday Girls' Trip

This property was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway. The Ranch House has plenty of room for each of us to spread out and have our own space, and the grounds are lovely with the abundance of farm animals all around and the picturesque mountain setting. The horseback riding trail along the river is not to be missed; the trail guide is wonderful! Also close to many other things to do in the area, that is if you want to leave... This was our first time here and we are already planning for the next visit! (One small note: there wasn't any soap in the bathrooms, so be sure to bring your own. But plenty of very clean towels/linens. Also a tip: the dishwasher is hidden in the laundry room! Internet connection is spotty, but who cares--you're on vacation!)

family friendly ranch

Tucked back off of the main roads, you don't have to worry about lots of extra traffic. Horse rides are available along with lots of opportunities to see chickens, sheep, horses, cows, and a pig. The house was roomy and had a fully stocked kitchen.

Great getaway!

The home matched the pictures and the prior ratings - the experience exceeded our expectations. The scenery was beautiful. The kids loved being near the animals. We even received farm fresh eggs one day. I would absolutely return if/when we need time away to relax and reset.
