Riverfront Oasis with Mountain Views, close to town

Beauty facilitates rest and this entire property is designed to highlight the natural beauty of the Shenandoah so that you can relax, down to the smallest detail. Located on a 20 acre estate, in a private gated community, the space features mountain-top views, private river front access and convenience to Front Royal. This property is the perfect retreat destination in the perfect location, packed with amenities and perfect for couples, families or groups of friends!

The unit is bright, spacious and airy, with its own private entrance facing the mountains. Relax on the covered patio while enjoying a home-cooked meal or glass of wine and take in the amazing views of the mountains and valley, or watch the sun rise from the comfort of bed, or enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh mountain air and relax amidst the quiet and tranquility of nature all around you.

The space includes:
-2 Bedrooms (both with queen beds) and one with an extra twin bed.
-High end furnishings and finishes all professionally designed with style and comfort in mind.
-Private patio with dining area and comfortable patio furniture as well as grill to enjoy the outdoors and amazing views
-Full-size washer and dryer
-Fast WIFI for streaming movies on the High-Def TV
-Beautiful custom full bath
-Separate workspace area with desk and lamp
-Fully equipped and well appointed kitchen with fridge, stove/oven, and microwave
-Customizable AC and heat in each room
-A very private and tranquil experience, with no one else on the property during guest stays

Beyond the indoor space, there are even more outdoor amenities for you to enjoy from the property including swimming, fishing, kayaking or floating the Shenandoah River (kayak and tubes provided) all without leaving the property. Enjoy picnicing and sitting around the fire pit down by the river. The river is only a two minute drive down our private road or a 5-7 minute hike down our hillside (which gets a little steep toward the end so may be less preferred for some).

The home is minutes from wineries, breweries, entrance to Shenandoah National Park, Caverns, restaurants, grocery, etc. And we are only 10 minutes from town - Front Royal- and we supply guests with great recommendations of area activities, restaurants, and all of the best Shenandoah has to offer. There is no shortage of things to do- or do nothing at all and enjoy the natural settings from the comfort of home!

Peaceful, Amazing Retreat
The house was beautiful, modern, stylish, yet comfortable; complete with tasteful artwork actually painted by the host. So many of the mountain vacation rentals really lean into the folksy, rustic vibe but this place has a much more contemporary, clean, quiet luxury feel which we loved. You are renting the bottom floor of the house (no one else is at the property during your stay) and the space feels open with everything that you need. The host could not have been more responsive. We had no issues and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Beautiful Mountain Views
The Riverfront Oasis with Mountain Views is a nice house. After booking and payment, be aware that you do not have access to the entire house. The upper portion of the house is not made available and you only have the bottom portion. Slightly disappointing but not a deal breaker. You and your family are the only occupants on the property. The property is clean and has many kitchen cooking essentials. Our family of 4 stayed for two nights. The mountain views are truly beautiful and the surroundings are quiet and relaxing. Here are some items to keep in mind: If you plan to cook during your stay, bring extra trash bags and paper towels. The kitchen does not have a dishwasher or a garbage disposal, so you will need to dispose of food particles in the trash can. You are required to take the trash with you off the property to dispose at a public dumpster after you check out. When we stayed, there was shampoo in the shower but no body wash. Not the end of the world, but if you forget to bring shower soap or body wash you will likely need to head to the Target or Dollar General which is not too far away. We did not venture to the fire pit area of the property located by the river. After attempting to walk it, we decided that it was not an easy path. The gas grill was a nice touch from cooking indoors. Overall it’s a nice place.

Secluded walk-out basement apartment with amazing mountain sunset views
Great view of the valley and sunsets. Patio is a perfect size for a yoga session with a view. The hike to the river is steep as described. Not a path for flip flops! The apartment is new and clean with tasteful artwork on the ground level of the house. The host is very responsive. Would recommend, especially if you’re looking for a quiet escape into nature with all the comforts of home (except a dishwasher).

A brief but beautiful stay
We were visiting JMU with our teenage daughter and wanted to find a place to take in the beauty of the Shenandoah as a home base. This home was perfect for our needs and was just what I needed to recharge. It was beautifully decorated and comfortable to unwind in. And then that awesome mountain view…you see it from so many windows as you walk by and it makes you pause and stare. The covered porch was perfectly setup as a great space to hang and breathe in the nature around you. We found a great sushi place and coffee shop nearby to meet our foodie cravings. I love how close it is to Front Royal downtown and the easy entrance to the north end of Shenandoah National Park. We spent a day in the park stopping at the visitors centers and hiking Stony Man- the leaf peeping made my heart so happy. The trip to JMU was an easy straight shot about an hour away and we found some great shops and restaurants there in Harrisonburg as well. Overall a great stay - I’d recommend it if you need a zen type of location to take in the beauty of the mountains while you visit. Thanks so much to the owners for the ongoing communication, making sure we had all we needed for the stay.

A peaceful retreat
We had a lovely two night stay. It was the perfect pre-birthday girls’ getaway for friends looking for a quiet, peaceful few days away from the city. The kitchen was well stocked. We were able to easily cook all our meals. The space was clean and inviting. It wasn’t the kind of getaway where anyone was interested in that much activity, but sitting outside listening to the wind, looking at the mountains and forest, enjoying wine, was exactly what was needed. Some might even call it therapeutic. It ended up being a little too cold/windy for spending much time in or around the river, but it was still a beautiful oasis. We can’t wait to come back!

Excellent stay!
We loved the property! The host was super responsive and made our stay a joy. The river access is a strenuous hike from the property down to the river, but we didn't use it so it wasn't a consideration for us. Overall, we were happy with the property and our experience.

Laya was great to work with. She responded quickly to our questions. We tried their recommendation for Thai food and it was delicious! We noticed and appreciated the original artwork displayed throughout the space. We enjoyed the time we spent inside and on the patio with the beautiful view.

Perfect getaway
The property is beautiful and just as the owner has described it. The first day was 65 and beautiful so we got to take advantage of their trail down to the river and early the next morning it was snowing making all of my snowy cabin dreams come true. We booked this rental for some much needed r&r and this home was perfect. Quiet and private but not too far from what you need. The home was absolutely beautiful and the space could not have been any more perfect for us. I wouldn’t change a thing and I hope to be back soon.

This property was amazing to say the least. It was very well put together, clean, and relaxing. The views were great, especially from the main bedroom. Waking up to a sun lit room starts off the day great! If you need a place to wind down and relax, look no further, this is it!

Beautiful mountain home
We had a great vacation here! We stayed in the basement of the cabin, but it has a ground entrance and really doesn't feel like a basement at all. No one was staying upstairs when we were there. The apartment is very fresh, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Everything was clean, and Tony was in touch to see if we needed any help or recommendations. He generously allowed us to check in early and check out late, which we really appreciated. The house is in a gated community- once you enter the community, you drive for a few minutes on a gravel road to get to the house. There were games for all ages in the living room and plenty of places around the apartment for us to hang out (kitchen table, couches, desk). There is also a cozy spot right outside to relax. We really enjoyed our stay!

How To Enjoy Hiking snd The Leaf Peeping Season in The Allegheny Mtns.
We very much enjoyed our stay in our VRBO and found the downstairs unit to be all the owner described. In the House Manual were exact instructions and expectations. Our host was helpful and friendly and kept in touch daily throughout our stay making sure everything was to our satisfaction. He offered recommendations for restaurants, shopping, historical sites, museums nearby. The two bedroom was exactly what we needed to have a wonderful three day stay. We overlooked The Shenandoah River as we sat on comfy outdoor furniture at the end of the day with a glass of wine. Nearby Virginia Breweries and wineries were also recommended. Beds were very very comfortable and kitchen was furnished with new large appliances and small appliances for daily use were in the kitchen. A large front loading washer & dryer were near the bathroom. It was a pleasure to return here at night after hiking and visiting nearby Luray Caverns. We heartily recommend this property and thank the owner for his constant contact and helpful responses. Kate
