We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean and pet friendly. The host responded to my inquiries quickly. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub in the evening. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the other amenities on the river.

Nice for a quick break

Very helpful owner. Nice place right on the road, across the road from the river. You have to look over the neighbors for the river view, but the house is laid out well and has everything you need. Convenient to Luray and hiking trails.

The perfect stay

The property was very beautiful and well kept. Beautiful views of both the mountains and river. The furniture and hot tub on the back porch provided the perfect way to relax and spend the day and evening. The full size kitchen had every convenience needed to make cooking a meal easy. Dishwasher provided made cleanup just as easy. Two large bedrooms with full bathrooms made for a comfortable stay. We have stayed in a couple of places in Luray and this was by far our favorite.

Good Rest

Overall it was ok. Could have used more dinnerware utensils. The fact there are no doors to bedrooms is aggravating. Needs a better solution than curtains. Electrical switches are a pain to figure out. As an electrician I would be rewiring for sure. Otherwise it was comfortable. We would stay again!

Cute but couple of things to be aware of

The property is cute. Some things I wish I knew: 1) despite the listing saying in 2 places there was WiFi, there isn’t. Instructions are to go to places up the road to use WiFi. In a world where folks work while vacationing, this is a major discrepancy. 2) there are no doors on the bedrooms. There are curtains, so it wasn’t a problem for my girls trip but if you’re hoping for some private time this could be an issue. 3) the house is on well water. Be prepared to buy drinking water and for your shower to smell sulfur-y 4) there are a lot of chemicals in the hot tub - we had to let it bubble for a few minutes before entering to minimize the coughing… On the bright side: 1) large bedroom space - lots of room to move around even w all the luggage 2) pet friendly and good size yard 3) gas and charcoal grill available for use 4) washer/dryer on site allows you to pack less 5) host was quick with responses (albeit a bit curt)

Annette's cabin along the Shenandoah river was the perfect place for 5 of us (4 humans and 1 dog) to celebrate Christmas. There was even a Christmas tree provided! The place was clean and comfortable.The king-sized beds were comfortable and the bedrooms had plenty of space and storage. Having two masters was fantastic. The kitchen had everything we needed for 4 nights/5 days worth of meals. The outdoor Weber gas grill was in good shape. We used it a few times to make dinner and breakfast.The camping area with a small deck, steps down to the river, and a launch ramp was a short 2 minute walk down the road. My dog Jax & I braved the cold waters and got into the river for a quick, frigid, dip. Don't ask why . . .We will definitely consider staying here again!

We enjoyed our stay very much, we went to a family wedding close by. The weather was perfect and we did see some deer in the woods behind the house. We went fishing off Bixley low water bridge and caught a couple of squaw fish. All decorations are excellent and we are thinking about going back to Luray in May 2026.
