About this property

NEW Log Cabin by the River! Perfect Relaxing Retreat-Views & hot tub!

Newly built--large river log cabin with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, full kitchen, Dish tv, propane fireplace and hot tub. A perfect place to get-away from all the stress of the city. Located 17 miles from Luray out where the stars shine bright. The Shenandoah river is just down the driveway for fishing, swimming and river activities. There are 3 smaller log cabins here too so you can have your friends rent those for a great family & friends get-away or a company retreat.
There is charcoal grill, picnic table and fire ring for grilling out and a full kitchen inside for the 'chef' to use for great dinners. All the dishes, pots and pans are there.
The River Lure has a two-night min. It is a 'Pet-free, smoke-free' Cabin. The rental fees do not include linens or towels. There is one double bed and 2 queen beds. Two bathrooms. We do offer 4-night mid-week rates and 7-night rates.

There is limited WiFi which can be for emailing and light browsing but no streaming. There is limited phone service with Sprint-T-mobile working best.

The River Lure sits about 2 football fields back from the River on 7.5 acres. You can drive to the river or walk down the driveway to it. This is #20 on our river map and a SRO take out.
Have a romantic time enjoying the propane fireplace and hot tub on the cooler nights or sit outside and watch the fireflies light up the night sky.

Awesome!

Great place tucked back on the river. Awesome area for younger kids to roam around near the cabin and the older kids to explore down by the river and fish.

This cabin was too secluded for us. Wish the description/location of the property would have been stated more clear . When you turn onto the road to the property and it says No Outlet and you still have a 25-30 minute drive/ half of which was dirt/gravel was not a highlight. We were there to explore the area and had no interest in leaving the cabin more than once daily due to the drive back. Cell coverage is very poor and would definitely not advise trying to locate it at night. The mattress in the upstairs bedroom was good but the other two were extremely poor. Also states dish TV and that is not the case. The pictures show the river like it is closer to the cabin than it is (although looking back it does state how far and I missed that ) We enjoyed the hot tub. Just not the property for our family.

Relaxing Weekend

We had a really nice weekend, there is absolutely no cell service, so keep that in mind. The cabin was clean and very nice. The hot tub was relaxing and we built a fire outside both nights. Overall a nice trip

Anniversary weekend

We stayed at the River Lure from Sept 30 to Oct 2. We were pleased with what this cabin had to offer us as we spent a good portion of our time in the cabin. The remnants of Hurricane Ian hit Luray VA during our stay. We loved the hot tub and use of wifi as outside activities were limited in the pouring rain. One flaw was we could not get the fireplace to work and no directions for it. All in all, this place is great! Clean, beds were comfortable and hot tub was great.

Lovely Spot for Our Family

My husband and I and our 2 kids (13 and 10) spent 3 nights in this lovely cabin. The cabin was clean and the rooms and beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed using the hot tub and we even brought a soccer goal which was super fun to use in the large grassy area. I would recommend bringing sports/fun things do utilize the large yard. I did miss being able to see the river from the deck, but once down there it was perfect. My husband fished all day and caught a few and my son and I walked up to the small rapids and spent hours relaxing water. We will be back.

Picture-perfect Blue Ridge accommodations

We had an awesome time at this lovely log cabin that's right on the Shenandoah River. The house is in terrific shape. Spacious for our family of six. The hot tub on the porch was really awesome especially considering how hot the temperature was during our stay. Awesome to be able to walk on property to get to the river. My son caught a pair of catfish. He was thrilled. It's about an hour to Shenandoah National Park from the property but completely worth the drive. We saw shooting stars. We found turtles crossing the road. We saw a bear crossing the road, which was awesome. And so many deer. It's like a wilderness paradise scene. Well-kept property that just about anyone would enjoy.

Disappointing

I am very disappointed with this cabin rental. After seeing the pictures I thought this would be a great anniversary getaway. Unfortunately, the owner charged us a damage fee for marks that we never made on the counter. Its hard to make cut marks when you never cut anything the whole weekend. Everything we brought was already prepared. I have never in my life been charged a damage fee and have traveled extensively. I guess they just wanted to make some repairs from previous damage on my dollar. Oh well, the money won't break me, it's the point of it. Live and learn, I guess. And to think, we were going to make this a yearly anniversary trip. I will be doing business with someone more reputable. The other couple we went with is livid as well. No repeat business or recommendations from any of us. BUYERS BEWARE!

We had an amazing time at the cabin for the start of our honeymoon! It was so peaceful and great to get away. The property is beautiful and we would highly recommend staying at this property! Also there was a stray cat who would constantly wait for us on the porch and she was adorable! Thank you! :)

Great cabin!

Great family vacation spot. Cabin is very remote, about 30 minutes away from Luray, half of it down a gravel road. But not secluded, lots of vacation places and cabins along the way. Put "River Lure Cabin" in the GPS, that works fine. The river was fun (we saw a bald eagle fly right by us!) - renting from Shenandoah River Outfitters is a must! The hot tub was great. Lots of bugs and bees but that's to be expected. Thank you!

Cabin Stay

We loved this cabin! So clean and the perfect size. We loved that there was kitchen stuff available and a hot tub to use. Only thing I would say is to definitely read directions for getting to the cabin. We were forewarned but please do not rely on your GPS. The host was gracious to send directions and we advise to use those. The host was very nice. Always responded promptly and even gave leniency with check out time. We would definitely recommend this property!

Family spring break getaway

Beautiful spot with a big grassy field and quick walk to the river. Cabin was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing and enjoying sunset at the end of the day. We enjoyed grilling out and making a fire in the fire pit. The team at Shenandoah River Outfitters was very helpful as well in orienting us to the area. Would definitely recommend!
