Spent a couple days here while hiking in the Shenandoah! Great place for a couple. Clean quiet & spacious! Host was very helpful. Definitely enjoyed the hot tub on cool nights.
Easy to get to, awesome location on the river and very quiet. The sound of the water flowing by was very relaxing. This place is very well setup and comforortable for a small family or group, The kitchen and living area was great. and with the deck and hot tub right there made it very relaxing.
Perfect place for a family getaway!The cabin was extremely clean and had the amenities we needed. Close enough to Luray Caverns and plenty of hikes while at the same time we felt we were away from everything!
Mother Goose was a good one! Plan on bringing linens, towels, and water shoes to jump in the river. 10 minutes to Luray Caverns and the downtown area of Luray. Would definitely stay here again.
My sister and I really enjoyed the cabin. It was beautiful and all the furniture was comfortable!! The views were the best part. Being able to hear the creek below as we sat on the deck was amazing! The cabin is really located in such a great place, easily accessible to a lot of tourist places!! Loved it here!!
Cute cabin in a quiet location. The sounds of the river can be heard from the deck. The cabin is quiet but still close to local attractions. The kids loved the loft bedroom upstairs. we will definitely be back.
This was our favorite stay at the mountains yet! This cabin is perfect! Such a cozy stay, so close to everything we wanted to see and do! We will definitely be back!
Wonderful location! The cabin was clean and so cozy. We hiked during the day and enjoyed the hot tub under the stars to relax. Loved our stay and plan to return!! It was perfect!!
We all enjoyed our comfortable accommodations. Our view from the cabin was absolutely beautiful and peaceful! The hot tub was very relaxing after a busy and fun day experiencing the attractions in Luray. We enjoyed eating smores around the fire pit. It was a beautiful and awesome trip!! Highly recommend the Mother Goose Cabin of the Gander Island Cabins!
We are established cabin owners for over 10 years. I have been an owner and manager of Shenandoah River outfitters., for even longer. I have always been in the tourism industry since my teenage years as a guide on Shenandoah National Park. My husband David is a farmer and his family farm has been in the Shenandoah Valley since 1790 We have a working farm, so the cabin is located in a rural setting.
Our cabins are on a piece of property that my husband and I bought over 25 years ago. The family used to own this piece and we wanted to get the property back. This is a beautiful river front piece, that we have grown to love. You can float right by the cabins. It is a bird lover and fisherman's paradise. We loved this property and all our friends said that it would be perfect for cabins and we finally caved, and put up the Goose and Gander. Everyone loves our little cabins so we decided to add the last and nicest cabin to the collection.
There is a 34 acre island out in front of the cabin. There is over a mile of riverfront access. You can wade, swim, fish,canoe, tube, kayak, bird watch, look for wild life. All within the confines of the cabins. There is a private boat launch on the property. Because of the large private island and the unspoiled area there are birds everywhere.
