About this cabin rental
Escape to The River House in the Shenandoah River Valley
Unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature—and with each other—at The River House, a peaceful riverfront retreat nestled in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah River Valley.
Begin your mornings with a steaming cup of coffee as wildlife drifts along the riverbank and the water flows gently just beyond the porch. The soft rustle of leaves and the distant silhouette of the Massanutten Mountains set the tone for a day of adventure or complete relaxation. With the river literally at your feet, you can wade in for a refreshing swim, float downstream, or simply sit back and watch the water pass by.
Spend lazy afternoons lounging on the porch with a good book, breathing in fresh mountain air, or planning your next hike in the surrounding valley. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure or quiet moments of stillness, The River House offers the perfect balance of both.
As evening settles in, gather around the firepit to roast marshmallows and enjoy s’mores beneath a sky full of stars. Moonlight dances across the river while the gentle chorus of locusts fills the air—an unforgettable backdrop for laughter, stories, and time well spent with family and friends.
At The River House, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure your stay is comfortable, relaxing, and memorable.
Make yourself at home and experience our little slice of riverfront paradise.
Located just two hours west of Washington, DC, in scenic Luray, Virginia.

We loved our stay at the river house! It has an amazing view of the river and I cannot overstate how lovely the view from the porch was. Anne was very responsive though we didn’t need anything. The house was very comfortable and has everything you need from kitchen tools to board games. We are already talking about going back!

My family has been vacationing in Luray since I was a child; we LOVE the area! We had a nice stay (loved the space, all of the board games, a beautiful view), but did have some issues.
1. The pictures in the listing showed a hammock. It sounds like such a silly thing, but we always stay in a rental with a hammock because it's my husband's favorite thing! We found out once we got to the rental that the hammock was damaged last year and never replaced, but the listing pictures were not updated. We should have asked in advance.
2. Temperature. Upon arrival, we learned that the house must be set at 71 degrees or warmer in the summer. Not a big deal, but it was set at 66 degrees when we arrived - make sure you check the thermostat upon arrival so that you don't get charged for an HVAC callout if the unit freezes! Also, while the living room was very comfortable, the bedrooms got considerably warmer during the night - you may want to leave the doors open.
3. Cleanliness/Safety: We noticed small cleanliness issues during our stay - cobwebs near the game table, an old contact lens on the living room floor, etc. We're not super picky about cleanliness, so this wasn't a bother. But, when we were packing up on our final day, we found a prescription pill under the bed my daughter slept in. My daughter is old enough that it wouldn't have been a dangerous situation for us, but I hate to think of what could have happened if a small child had found it! An unfortunate end to our stay.
