Amazing location, beautiful views, fantastic hosts.
We had the best time at Shiloh Lodge, the location and house are both fantastic. The view of the river can't be beat, and the house is beautiful. I worked from the house a bit, and the Starlink worked flawlessly. Everyone was comfortable and really enjoyed disconnecting and being out with Nature. The river doesn't really get deep, so the kids were able to stand up and explore just about the entire way across, canoeing and kayaking was enjoyable, and we got some fishing in too! Their recommendations for activities and restaurants were great as well, we used a handful of them and they were always spot on. Really glad we chose this house and location! Thanks Diana!

The Perfect Place
This is the second time we have stayed at Shiloh Lodge. We have stayed at many different cabins along this stretch of the river and Shiloh is definitely one of the nicest. It is clean, well decorated and the location on the river can't be beat. Diana goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is as perfect as it can get. Don't hesitate to book this place, you won't regret it!!!

Relaxing and family fun
Beautiful home and hostess was very responsive. The home omitted nothing in providing a complete pleasurable experience especially in the kitchen. When we got there our water was turned off, which threw me in a panic mode, but my hvac son soon corrected that situation. The hostess did get back to us right away and then we turned it on according to her instructions. Once we got familiar with the road leading up to the house the drive did not seem as far away from scenic sites. A suggestion I would make is to get a larger garbage can. Upon our arrival there was already trash in the can. We put in two bags of trash and could not get the lid down. We did take home all the recyclable trash instead of dropping in off at the given overflow site which was our decision on saving time. The Smiths have a beautiful home and we thank them for sharing it with us. I would definitely want to come back and spend a longer time.

Easter Sunday in Luray
Despite having some rain during our stay we really took advantage of the riverfront location. Lots of fishing (no catching as it was pretty early in the season). Kayak and canoes were stored in an area that was easily accessible. We had a hike in mind, but could not access the road due to damage from recent fires. The dry fire wood supply was very helpful. We did not cook much, but I can assure you that the kitchen is stocked with anything you could possibly need. Top notch location! We will definitely return.

LURAY HOLIDAY (family reunion)
We stayed Dec 26-29. One day it rained so we went to Luray Caverns, which was beautiful. Weather was on our side the rest of the stay, we only had to wear light-weight jackets. If fog or clouds are thick, I recommend arriving during daylight. Large living area was a must and was perfect for our family of 6 (4 adult children) member family reunion. Plenty of indoor games to play. We prepared all of our meals at the house. (To you city folk - shop BEFORE you arrive at Walmart/Food Lion in Luray). We enjoyed the outdoor grill and the firepit for s'mores. Love having the option of using the rollaway beds, if anyone is a loud snorer. The river was peaceful for canoes and kayaks that were provided and were a great fun! This location checked all of our boxes and then some!

Wonderful Christmas Weekend
I stayed at Diana’s place over the long Christmas Weekend with family and friends visiting from France. We all loved the house, that is spacious, clean, perfect for spending time together inside and outside. We enjoyed the fire outside, with the beautiful water and nature view. It’s close to Shenandoah National Park, where we went for a hike, as well as close enough to convenience stores, so you can really find everything you need. Diana, our host, provided all the necessary information ahead of our arrival and was very responsive throughout our stay. I can only recommend this place.

Highlights: -beautiful views -large, well-stocked kitchen for cooking and eating in -very comfortable beds and clean bedrooms -very spacious and plenty of seating for everyone -fast wifi and streaming services for watching movies -lots of fun outdoor space, loved the canoes and lifejackets! -host was very friendly, helpful, attentive, with easy contactless check in Would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation. There was no cell service, and the water does smell of sulfur. But that is clear in the listing and with their provided water filter it tasted fine to drink. It did not take away any of our enjoyment of our visit. Thanks Diana for a wonderful stay!

The Ultimate Relaxation Vacation
Our family had the most wonderfully, relaxing vacation at Shiloh Lodge! It was beautifully decorated, warm and cozy and complete with all necessities and many niceties (spa slippers, toiletry items, great coffee and tea selection). We stayed at the home for most of our week in the area simply reading, playing games (many provided) and puzzles (also provided), kayaking/canoeing and simply sitting by the river reading. I cannot recall a more relaxing vacation! We hope to return at a future time! Thank you.

Lovely!
This house is beautifully situated on the Shenandoah River. It is also clean, well maintained and thoughtfully organized. We lacked for nothing and the owner responded gracefully and almost immediately to every communication (few were needed). We made daily use of the generously stocked kitchen, as well as the one-person kayak and two-person canoe. My favorite thing about our stay was being able to sit at the river’s edge at sunrise to watch the river wake up. It was thrilling to see osprey, eagles, Great Blue Herons, and a Night Heron in action. There was also an Eastern Screech-Owl that roosted one day in a small tree next to the house. We are grateful to the owners of Shiloh Lodge for providing us with a wonderful opportunity to step back from the world for a bit and enjoy being part of nature.
