This year-round cabin is your next vacation!
We have three unique cabins named after famous pioneers: Daniel Boone, Buffalo Bill, and Bass Reeves. Our Annie Oakley pier is great for launching kayaks or canoes or just fishing and hanging out. Walk our Lewis and Clark trail to enjoy wildlife and river views. Let the little ones wade into the river and splash around at Pocahontas Point.
Our Buffalo Bill cabin is perfect for two families or a large group of friends. This historic, nineteenth century, pioneer style cabin features hand hewn logs, paintings from the original owner, country kitchen, and personal touches. The cabin was lovingly relocated and nestled on 16 acres in an idyllic setting along the bank of the Shenandoah River. Enjoy morning coffee on the large front porch while you watch the beauty of the mountains and river unfold. Spend the day canoeing, kayaking, tubing, or fishing right outside the cabin and the evening catching fireflies, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, grilling, playing board games, or sipping spirits by the river. Enjoy one of TWO wood burning fireplaces (one in the living room and another in the master bedroom).
**Fireplace Closed April 1 to October 31**

**Please note that due to our location, our WiFi service is limited. It is spotty...works great some days and horrible other days. We are at the mercy of the one area provider.
We live on the property in the barnhouse. We are available via app messaging, which is the best way to reach us. You might see us around the property during your stay. We love interacting with guests but also respect your privacy.
