About this cabin rental

Authentic riverfront log cabin with hand hewn logs nestled by the Shenandoah River in Luray, VA on our farm. Over 800 5-star reviews! Mini Highland cows, pigs, honeybees, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs. Remote workers` paradise! Acres of private riverfront with water equipment and trail. Cozy up next to the wood-burning fireplace or enjoy your private campfire. Fresh farm eggs and firewood sold on site.

This is our Daniel Boone cabin, which is our largest cabin and perfect for two to three families or a group of friends. This historic, pioneer style cabin features hand hewn logs dating back to the eighteen-hundreds, paintings from the original owner, country kitchen, and a Baldwin piano. The cabin was lovingly relocated and nestled on 16 acres in an idyllic setting along the bank of the Shenandoah River. Enjoy morning coffee on the large screened in porch while you watch the beauty of the mountains and river unfold. Spend the day canoeing, kayaking, tubing, or fishing and the evening catching fireflies, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, grilling, playing board games, or sipping spirits by the river. On the colder days, cozy up next to the authentic wood burning stone fireplace. The first floor has a full bath, living and dining space, and a full kitchen. The second floor has a half bath and three bedrooms (1 Queen and 2 each with two Twin beds). The third floor has a ladder staircase with 5 Twin beds (perfect for older kiddos).

Note we have three private cabins on the property. Each cabin has its own campfire pit and grill.

Easy drive to the Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, George Washington Forest, Massanutten or Bryce Resorts for skiing, and much more.

Our Annie Oakley dock is great for launching kayaks or canoes or just fishing and hanging out. Walk our Lewis and Clark trail to enjoy wildlife and river views. Let the little ones wade into the river and splash around at Pocahontas Point.

**Fireplace Closed April 1 to September 30**
Note that the cabin has a wood-burning fireplace. The wood smell is woven into the fabric of the entire cabin. Most people don`t smell it, others love the nostalgic smell, and a rare few are sensitive to it.

Riverfront Pioneer Cabins, LLC is a licensed rental. Nightly rate includes state and county lodging taxes.

FIRM NO PETS POLICY (for safety reasons, this includes service animals). Animal lovers welcome, however! This is a hobby farm, and we have other free-roaming pets on the property...dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and honeybees. Co-mingling animals could be disastrous to our livestock and your pet.

On site is a mile long trail that loops around the property. You have access to plenty of water equipment: tubes, kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes...enough water equipment for all guests to enjoy. We have many adult life vests as well and four youth vests. You can access the river directly from our pier. There is a firepit next to the river.

The cabin is minutes from the Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest hiking trails. About a ten-minute drive away are shops perfect for antiquing, the Luray Caverns, an adorable movie theater, restaurants, zip lining adventure, animal rescue zoo, distillery, golf course, brewery, vineyard, and the Luray Caverns. We are also within an easy and scenic drive to area wineries and Massanutten and Bryce ski resorts. See our Guidebook for more places to visit!

While we hope you spend most of your time outdoors, we do have a TV, DVDs, Roku, and board games. Lots of toys/games for children; perfect detox for them to unplug. Remote workers (and kids) will love our fast internet!

We live on the property in the barnhouse. We are available via app messaging, which is the best way to reach us. You might see us around the property during your stay. We love interacting with guests but also respect your privacy.

We are on 16 acres and surrounded by farmland and the Shenandoah River, nestled neatly between the Blue Ridge and Massanutten mountains. There are three cabins on site but plenty of privacy and room to roam and explore. Each cabin has their own fire pit and gas grill.

Lifejackets were in the mud. Kayaks were mostly broken. The one I was using sank in the river.Very small kitchen. Beds were small with sagging mattresses.The cabin itself was interesting, very old

Charming cabin for our 3 family units, 6 adults & 4 kids. Driving directions made it hard to find the property, can you include a street address? More accurate to say "1.5 baths" since one shower was all for the 10 of us. Light was barely adequate, with many bulbs missing, like over kitchen sink. Needed more dish cloths to adhere to clean, dry dishes rule. Ditto a better grill brush for cleaning. Advertised swim dock for river access is not there. Red ride-in kayak had big crack toward back fin, and it plus yellow tandem kayak were missing plugs. Mouse droppings in some kitchen drawers. Despite all this, it was a good time.

We celebrated my son’s graduation with family at the Daniel Boone cabin and had a wonderful time. It was an easy place to use, the grounds were beautiful and proximity to the park was perfect. The cabin was as rustic and charming as described. Jennifer was a great host and a visiting orange kitty stole our hearts. Thank you.

What a gem! My California family didn’t want to leave this quaint, peaceful, comfortable home away from home. Everything anyone would need in order to get away from the busyness of life is right here - scenic river, trail, and views. Can’t wait to come back for another visit!
