Springhouse Cottage at 200-Acre Shenandoah River Retreat•Mountain & River Views

Welcome to the Springhouse Cottage at the 200-Acre Shenandoah River Retreat.

Wake up to peaceful valley views, soft morning light over the fields, and a quiet stretch of the Shenandoah River to explore. Originally built more than 100 years ago, the Springhouse cottagehas been newly and thoughtfully renovated, blending historic character with the comfort, convenience, and amenities today's guests appreciate. Perfect for couples, solo travelers, and anyone looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a relaxing Shenandoah Valley escape.

Located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, the property offers scenic mountain views and easy access to outdoor recreation throughout the region. Charming small towns like Woodstock and Strasburg are just 10 minutes away, offering restaurants, cafés, local shops, and everyday conveniences.

This retreat includes two separate homes on the same 200-acre property — the Farmhouse and the Springhouse Cottage. The cottage can be rented on its own for a relaxing getaway or together with the Farmhouse for larger gatherings. While the homes are located near each other, mature trees and landscaping help each home feel connected to the larger landscape. Guests enjoy shared access to the riverfront, pavilion, trails, and open land throughout the property.

As a working Shenandoah Valley farm, the property offers plenty of room to explore, from open fields and mountain views to a mile of scenic river frontage.

WELCOME TO YOUR SHENANDOAH VALLEY ESCAPE
Step outside the cottage and take in the expanse of valley fields stretching toward the surrounding mountain ridges. The outdoor deck overlooks the meadow and mountain range, offering a peaceful place for morning coffee, birdwatching, or quiet evenings with sweeping views. Morning light filters across the grass, and the valley begins its calm, steady rhythm.

In the evenings, the sky softens and the landscape settles into stillness. Walk down toward the river or relax on the deck as the light fades across the fields. On clear nights, the quiet setting and open skies create wonderful opportunities for stargazing from the deck or nearby fields.

This is a place where mornings are slow, wildlife moves quietly through the land, and time feels just a little more spacious.

Wildlife is abundant, and guests often spot:

• Bald eagles circling above the river
• Osprey diving for fish
• Great blue herons gliding low across the water
