Barney's Retreat was great! Although it was winter and cold for our visit, we did get one sunny warmer day and we enjoyed sitting next to the river for a bit and listening to the river go by. The water is so clear! And the views up and down the river were very nice. We also loved the fireplace and hot tub for our winter stay :-) The cabin was very comfortable for me and my husband as well as my mom and dad. We had space to hang out, play some board games, cook dinners, and enjoy each other's company. There is no phone signal for verizon, but the wifi was good enough for us to connect to the internet for any online needs. Barney's Retreat is also close to Luray and we had a fun day exploring a few places around Luray as well! Do recommend.

We had a great getaway at Barney’s Retreat. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the river and lucked out with fireworks every night. Having easy access to the river even allowed us to get our usually anti-water golden retriever to wade in and she realized she actually enjoys the water!Location is about 20 minutes from downtown Luray and we enjoyed getting to explore with that area had to offer. Would recommend

Thank you for providing us with the ultimate peaceful getaway along the Shenandoah River. The cabin was perfect for our needs. It was fully stocked with kitchenware, towels and blankets. It even had a pantry with spices, cooking oils, coffee, tea and many many more condiments. It offered a selection of bathroom necessities as well that included soaps, and shampoos. The beds were very comfortable and the furniture was well kept and cozy. The screened in back patio was wonderful and included a hot tub for extra relaxation. The area was quiet and the river provided the perfect backdrop for fishing and water play. The location was close to town which had many great places to shop and explore!

I scheduled this trip for a short getaway with my spouse and parents. I sought out a property with a hot tub, that was along the Shenandoah River close enough to the Shenandoah NP, and was dog-friendly.
The property was kind enough to allow us to have a second dog for an additional fee above their advertised 1 dog limit.
Comms were smooth.
The property was not super clean but manageable. I'll add, that I communicated with the property management team and they were attentive to addressing the concerns though were dismissive of the issues.
The ceiling has dust and spiderwebs hanging throughout; overhead lights included. There was a wolf spider nest that spanned a couple of feet in the bathroom above the door. There was cookware and dishware that needed to be washed before use, the blender had a black grime on its button panel. The house water filter was in obvious need of replacement (My father and I are plumbers). I needed to clean the toilet when I arrived. The bathroom walls need cleaning as well.
Our chief issue was the state of the hot tub. The water was cloudy to the point that you could not see the bottom of it and the interior of the cover had a green/brown algae/mold film on it.
The property managers were amicable to our request for a refund of the cleaning fee and hot tub charge.
Beyond the tub, spiders, and cleaning need, the property was fine and the location is great. I'd recommend the property and would stay again if the issues fielded were handled.
