Magical Riverfront Retreat in Luray – Cozy Getaway with Stunning Views!

Escape to Our Magical 3-Bedroom Riverfront Cabin in Luray!

We’re thrilled to welcome you to our magical, waterfront cabin on the banks of the majestic Shenandoah River, just minutes from Shenandoah National Park. Perfect for multigenerational getaways or peaceful retreats with family and friends—furry ones included—our cozy three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin has everything you need for an unforgettable stay.

What You'll Love:

Free Canoes & Kayaks - Paddle the serene Shenandoah at your own pace.

Two Smokers & Firepit - Grill up a feast, then unwind with S’mores under the stars.

Screened-In Porch - The envy of our neighbors—perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks with a view.

Fully Stocked - Linens, towels, kitchenware, charcoal, firewood, and even kindling—all provided. Just bring your food and ice!

Activities & Adventures - Enjoy fishing, tubing, and relaxing by the water, or take in breathtaking views from our elevated deck. For day trips, explore Luray Caverns, Skyline Drive, George Washington National Forest, and more—all just a short drive away.

Comfort & Convenience - Central A/C and heating, a washer/dryer, dishwasher, Keurig, and even an electric can opener make your stay hassle-free. We provide free WiFi—great for messaging and calls, though speeds may vary due to the rural setting. There's also a landline for virtual meetings, and if you need faster internet, head to Broad Porch Coffee in Luray, just 12 miles away.

Good to Know - Our cabin is built on a raised foundation in the river’s flood zone, so you'll need to climb stairs to access the property. The flat lot offers easy river access, and Shenandoah Outfitters is just 5 minutes away if you’d like a professional-guided river trip.

Weekend at the river

House was clean and comfortable. , basic amenities. Nice distance away from city for quietness. Was disappointed with fire pit by river, was looking for to using but all the cars were complete rot. Would have broken if you tried to sit on so we didn’t even go down there.

Fantastic get away

Overall this location was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The only downside was construction happening at the properties to the left and right that sort of made for a less peaceful weekend escape from the city. No control over that and we still made the absolute best of it. The river access was fun for the kids and we all loved being able to hang as a family by the fire pit at night. 10/10 would recommend And book again!!😊

Beautiful location and outstanding accommodations. Need to work out the entry process as the keypad only works the deadbolt and not the doorknob which was also locked.

Scenic spot on the river

The views from the property are amazing. The location on the river for fishing and kayaking was convenient. Very responsive owner when issues arose, he brought new grill and coffeemaker during our stay. The house is a 20 minute drive from Luray. While the inside was clean the outside is in need of some TLC, especially the porch screens.

Lovely getaway

We had a wonderful time in this riverside house. As stated, there are a lot of stairs but the trade off is a spectacular view. We took advantage of the canoes, kayaks, and firepit and grilled out for dinner. We drove in to Shenandoah for a day of hiking and spent tbe rest of the time relaxing. We were able to see bunnies, deer, and tons of fireflies. Only negative would be the sleeper couch is not the most comfy but the kids didn't care one bit. Thank you for sharing your home!

Long weekend to unwind

We had an amazing stay here. My husband, our three kids (7,6,3) and my parents were able to come for a long weekend. We enjoyed spending time on the water, sitting by the campfire and even got some hiking in! Would totally come again. The house had everything we needed!

Can't Wait To Go Back

Loved this property. My girls and son-in-law and I love to kayak and fish. The property location is perfect. Close enough to Luray to grab all your food and essentials but far enough to enjoy seclusion and privacy. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The fire pit was perfect and the river and fishing was excellent. There is easy access to the river. We had so much fun and the property owner communicated well and we felt comfortable with all the directions and information. We have no complaints. You won't be disappointed! Can't wait to go back.

What a great get-away location

We, for the first time was able to see why they are called the Blue Ridge Mountains! Such a perfect location for the view, serene environment and all along the flowing river. The house is really upkept and you can tell a lot of work has been put into making it a modern, but yet, out-doorish feel. Thanks to everyone for such an amazing get away for the family!!

The property is on a beautiful setting next to the Shenandoah River. It is a commitment to driving 15-20 minutes to groceries etc. A very casual home, beds were comfortable and the screen porch was nice.

Nice place by the Shenandoah River

This was a nice home by the water with a nice fire pit and chairs right next to the water. 3 kayaks and 2 canoes were available to use. The house was nicely decorated and comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen with supplies. I'd recommend it and would go back again.
