About this cottage rental

This beautiful home, which we have named The Snug, is a guest favorite in our Rolling River Holidays rental portfolio! The house was designed and built by the owner of the property, Frank O'Reilly, and not a detail was left out. The house is located on a stunning ten acre river site on the 108 acre Rolling River Farm, and is nestled in the trees. Walk out of the back of the house, onto any of the three levels of decks and patios and be met by lovely views of the Shenandoah River.

The interior boasts 3 bedrooms (2 ensuite), 3.5 baths. The central feature of the home is the custom-designed spiral staircase, which winds from the full and spacious basement up to the cozy top floor master suite that is nestled up in the treetops.

The full, bright kitchen offers plenty of counter space and a movable island with extra seating. It also features a comfortable, built in dining space that is also a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning with morning sun warming your face.

The upstairs living room, just beside the kitchen, is the perfect place for relaxing, playing board games, and snuggling up by the gas fireplace. Down in the basement is a large media and rec room space, where you can gather for movies or some healthy competition around the foosball or orbital air hockey tables.

While the inside space is incredibly welcoming, you can also seamlessly enjoy the great outdoor spaces that the house provides. The patio off the basement, which is home to the hot tub, is also a great place to enjoy a hot summer day in the shade. The deck off the main floor acts just like an extension to the main living room and adds an outdoor dining option for glorious summer evenings. The private deck on the top floor, designed for the enjoyment of the guests in the master suite, is as secluded and peaceful as it gets and is a great place to read a book, go tanning, or just enjoy the view.
The River Snug is a pet friendly property, so no need for your furry friends to miss out on the vacation! A 25$ fee, per pet per night, will apply, and payable directly to management on arrival.

Just a short walk down the hill you can also enjoy the wood burning fire pit, which sits on a handsome rock bluff, with sweeping views of the water. Its the perfect place to spend an Autumn night with friends and family reminiscing and telling stories.

The house also has private access to the Shenandoah River and 3 kayaks for you to enjoy at no extra charge. The river is one of the highlights of the property and we want you to enjoy it to the fullest.

Rolling River Farm is located just 15 minutes from Downtown Front Royal, which is a small, but growing town that is proud to be the named "The Canoe Capital of Virginia", as well as the gateway to Skyline Drive.

We are only 1.5 hour drive (75 miles approx) from the center of Washington DC for those guests looking to visit all that our nation's capital has to offer. Also an easy one hour drive from Dulles Airport, where many of our international visitors arrive. If you are interested in Civil War battlefields, we are surrounded by some of the more famous historical sights marking that sad time in our nation's history.

Rolling River Farm is truly a one of a kind property and we can't wait to host you at The Snug!

Our group of 7 (four adults, three kids) greatly enjoyed our stay. The house is in a beautiful location right on the river while also being only 20 minutes from Front Royal and 30 minutes from Shenandoah. The decks were lovely to sit outside and enjoy nature. We made use of both the hot tub and the kayaks multiple times. Property managers were responsive to our questions during the stay. A few notes for those thinking about booking: The hill down to the water is very steep, so could be difficult for older guests or anyone with mobility issues. The bedroom on the top floor does not have a door but rather is open spiral stairs to the main floor. This isn't a problem unless someone is making lots of noise on the main floor while those upstairs are trying to sleep. Pay attention to the written directions because Google maps took us the wrong way.Overall, we would definitely stay again!

We loved this house, the views were amazing and the deer that greated us every morning were a special treat. We were able to cook our wives a great Valentines dinner withbthe fully sticked kitchen as well. We are all talking about when to book again and go back in the spring.
