WELCOME TO YOUR SHENANDOAH VALLEY ESCAPE

Step outside the home and take in the expanse of valley fields stretching toward the mountain ridgeline. The outdoor deck overlooks the broad meadow and mountain range, making it a peaceful place for morning coffee, birdwatching, or quiet sunset dinners with sweeping views. Morning light filters across the grass, the river glimmers through the trees, and the valley begins its peaceful daily rhythm.

In the evenings, follow the soft glow down to the firepit near the river, where the mountains fade into dusky blues. Settle into an Adirondack chair as stars appear over the meadows — bright, clear, and endless.

This is a place where kids chase fireflies, couples stroll by the river at sunset, fishermen wade into the clear shallows in search of smallmouth bass, and families reconnect in the quiet beauty of the Shenandoah.

Here you can:

Relax in hammocks as the river drifts by

Share meals under the covered pavilion

Wade into clear, shallow water

Launch kayaks & tubes directly from the shoreline

Gather around the riverside firepit at sunset (firewood provided)

Fish for smallmouth bass, sunfish & fallfish

Watch sunset colors reflect across the water

In the evenings, the firepit near the river becomes a gathering place — the warmth of the flames, the scent of the forest, and the sound of the water create a truly unforgettable atmosphere.

200 ACRES TO EXPLORE

From open fields to forest edges, the property offers endless space to wander and play.

From the large rock near the home, walk directly into George Washington National Forest, where trails weave through trees and open to expansive views.

Wildlife is abundant, and guests often spot:

Deer in the early morning light

Bald eagles circling above the river

Osprey diving for fish

Great blue herons gliding low across the water

Ducks paddling through quiet bends

Wild turkeys crossing the fields

Songbirds filling the valley with sound

You may also see our two friendly cows who roam the pastures — gentle fixtures of the land who add to the peaceful charm.

If you're lucky, you may even spot river otters frolicking in the gentle eddies — a magical sight when it happens.

It’s a landscape that invites adventure, discovery, and quiet appreciation.

Beautiful setting, great hosts, clean house that felt bright and airy. We had a large rain just prior to our stay that caused the River to rise above the bridge. Host reached out right away and kept us informed frequently of status and progress. Bridge was passable just hours prior to our arrival but we had no issues thanks to her great communication. Highly recommend!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING property location and home!! The house was cozy, very clean, fully equipped with everything you could ever need, comfortable beds, STUNNING VIEWS from every window of the home. It’s right next to the river where our family enjoyed fishing, tubing & kayaking. A trail head is right there to o & the cows are so fun to visit. The owner was so friendly and excellent communication. We will be coming back many more times!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! THANK YOU for giving our family such a memorable vacation we will never forget!

Amazing property that we had all to ourselves! Friendly farmers that let us pet and feed the cows and even gave us fresh vegetables from their garden. Water was high during our trip due to all of the rain but we still have a blast at the fire pit, in the water tubing, fishing and just roaming the farm. Even made a giant slip and slide out of the hillside for the kids. They have a basement full of tubes for use, wildlife everywhere and a fully stocked house. We saw bald eagles, skunks, deer and turkey. If you’re looking for seclusion and serenity you’ve found it. The owners were very helpful and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be back.
