On the Shenandoah River, Mountain Views... Come and Unplug!

Escape to The River House in the Shenandoah River Valley

Unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature—and with each other—at The River House, a peaceful riverfront retreat nestled in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah River Valley.

Begin your mornings with a steaming cup of coffee as wildlife drifts along the riverbank and the water flows gently just beyond the porch. The soft rustle of leaves and the distant silhouette of the Massanutten Mountains set the tone for a day of adventure or complete relaxation. With the river literally at your feet, you can wade in for a refreshing swim, float downstream, or simply sit back and watch the water pass by.

Spend lazy afternoons lounging on the porch with a good book, breathing in fresh mountain air, or planning your next hike in the surrounding valley. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure or quiet moments of stillness, The River House offers the perfect balance of both.

As evening settles in, gather around the firepit to roast marshmallows and enjoy s’mores beneath a sky full of stars. Moonlight dances across the river while the gentle chorus of locusts fills the air—an unforgettable backdrop for laughter, stories, and time well spent with family and friends.

At The River House, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to ensure your stay is comfortable, relaxing, and memorable.

Make yourself at home and experience our little slice of riverfront paradise.

Located just two hours west of Washington, DC, in scenic Luray, Virginia.

We loved our stay at the river house! It has an amazing view of the river and I cannot overstate how lovely the view from the porch was. Anne was very responsive though we didn’t need anything. The house was very comfortable and has everything you need from kitchen tools to board games. We are already talking about going back!

This cabin was very private very clean and a stones throw away from the water. We were looking for a place to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and.could not have asked for a better stay. Anne was simply amazing and accommodating. She had everything there and more from spices to laundry detergent, cleaners etc. the view was absolutely amazing. I could not recommend this any higher. We will absolutely return!
Early morning sunrise from the yard. It was cloudy so not as great as it would’ve been I’m sure.

We couldn't have asked for a better host. We've rented numerous houses on VRBO, and this owner was by far the most responsive and accommodating. The location was great. Only 20 minutes into town if you needed anything, however you felt very remote. The landscape around the property with awesome views in both direction down the river made the trip one of our favorites so far. You can tell that this host has been renting short term for a while, because she makes sure that everything is perfect for her guests. The beds were comfy, HVAC worked great, and wi-fi was present even though we didn't need it. I highly recommend you booking here if you are looking for a quiet relaxing place to get away.

A perfect spot for a river get away with our grandsons. The River House is set up for family fun and relaxation. Anne has the house well stocked to cover anything you might have forgotten (spices, plastic wrap :)). The screen porch is a great place for meals and games. Having the river right outside creates a calm and beautiful environment for being together. Could not have asked for more.

Revisiting for Relaxation

We stayed here last year and really enjoyed it, so we decided to come back. We love sitting on the deck and just listening to the birds and water. I think our dog also enjoyed being lazy and sleeping in his bed on the deck. Much needed break from normal every day life. Hope things will be drier and warmer next time so we can enjoy the water.

Wonderful Cottage right on the river!

Exceeded expectations! The cottage was so nice. You could throw a rock from the deck and it would land in the river. Serene and relaxing. Anne was a great host. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful and Relaxing!

My husband and I stayed here in May of 2024 to celebrate our anniversary, and this location did not disappoint. The house sits near one end of the road, so we didn't experience any traffic during our visit. We were able to relax in the peace and quiet while enjoying the beautiful views of the river. All the basic amenities were provided so we only needed to bring our food/spices, drinks, and personal belongings. We brought our own games with us, but there were plenty available to choose from. Our dog loved stretching his legs and chasing his ball in the big yard. There's also a shelf with books to read that visitors can trade their own books for (such a cool idea). The owner was very responsive and easy to reach. This is definitely a place we would like to revisit.

A Lovely Stay, with Caveats

My family has been vacationing in Luray since I was a child; we LOVE the area! We had a nice stay (loved the space, all of the board games, a beautiful view), but did have some issues. 1. The pictures in the listing showed a hammock. It sounds like such a silly thing, but we always stay in a rental with a hammock because it's my husband's favorite thing! We found out once we got to the rental that the hammock was damaged last year and never replaced, but the listing pictures were not updated. We should have asked in advance. 2. Temperature. Upon arrival, we learned that the house must be set at 71 degrees or warmer in the summer. Not a big deal, but it was set at 66 degrees when we arrived - make sure you check the thermostat upon arrival so that you don't get charged for an HVAC callout if the unit freezes! Also, while the living room was very comfortable, the bedrooms got considerably warmer during the night - you may want to leave the doors open. 3. Cleanliness/Safety: We noticed small cleanliness issues during our stay - cobwebs near the game table, an old contact lens on the living room floor, etc. We're not super picky about cleanliness, so this wasn't a bother. But, when we were packing up on our final day, we found a prescription pill under the bed my daughter slept in. My daughter is old enough that it wouldn't have been a dangerous situation for us, but I hate to think of what could have happened if a small child had found it! An unfortunate end to our stay.
