Overall, the property was cozy and quality. The only things that could have gone better would be the gas grill was very greasy so it turned into an open flame but I turned off the gas, pulled off my steaks, and closed the lid, problem solved. When we put our food on the counter the night we got there ants showed up almost immedi. ately

A River Runs Through It

Just what the doctor ordered during hectic home renovations! We had a great time here with our 2 retrievers watching them swim in the river, sitting around the campfire at night, hiking during the day and relaxing in the hot tub… simple pleasures are the best! The Shenandoah river ran through all our cares at home, helping us release them and return home rejuvenated 😊🏞️🐾

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

We had a great time spending a long holiday weekend here. It was relaxing and peaceful and perfect for what we needed. However I would say the place needs some work and the owner should put some money back into it. The directv barely works and the internet is non existent but we made due without it. Cosmetically it needs some love. If it got some love we’d probably visit frequently however next time we’ll probably look for a more put together place. Location is fantastic so if you’re cool with rustic and rough around the edges then you’ll love it.

Beautiful views, hot tub not so great

This cabin was clean cute. The views amazing! The hot tub was really old and only one setting worked. The tub was rusty and in daylight very uninviting. The water smells bad coming out of the facet, so bring lots of water bottles. They did have a water filter jug in the refrigerator so that was nice for making coffee. There is a lingering musty smell but the air conditioning worked and helped with that. If the owners updated the Hot tub, mattresses and water purifier, this place would be perfect. Such a gem waiting to be polished!

Stink Bug/Extra Person Charge

When we got to the house it great. We walked in and there were stink bugs everywhere. The listing stated that the property slept 6 people…we had 5…I got charged $180 for an “extra person charge” When I brought it up..I was told that the fee is charged when there are more than 2 people. Why say it sleeps 6 if you are going to charge extra? $180 at that!!! I had no choice..last minute booking for a funeral.

Solid structure yet weak amenities

We married at this very house in 2014. We went back with our 3 kids this trip to celebrate 10 years. There were some similarities and some glaring differences, unfortunately. The disappointments we had were, that there were ants indoors, immediately. If you leave food in the counters for longer than one hour, ants had taken to them. The coffee pot shattered upon first use. The hot tub was not functional, showing a maintenance symbol upon first use. The grass was very, very long upon arrival and then randomly cut leaving wet grass we had to clean off our kids and dog constantly. We did air some of these concerns to the house staff during our visit but also telling them not to fix them. Our reasoning was we do not go on vacation to constantly have maintenance in and out during out stay. What is done is done. They also offered a a response, without remorse or realization that we perhaps didn't get what he paid for. Overall, We will not return. This house as a wonderful place to be married in 2014, right under to porch in a rainstorm. It will hold those memories, thankfully.

Nice place but could improve a bit

House itself was clean and nice. Only minus was the door that was difficult to close and lock. River access and firepit by river were amazing! No umbrella as pictured si couldnt sit outside unless in heat/direct sun. Lower deck/porch really disappointing because lights didn't work and large amount of spider webs over all the furniture. Couldn't sit outside at night unless at firepit. Overall the point of the trip was the river and that did not dissapoint.

Huge Disappointment

There were several issues with this property. On our day of check-in as we were driving to the destination, we got a text stating the stove was broken and would not be working there for our stay. The oven was broken the stove top worked however we had already purchased all of our food that we had planned to use during the stay so this was a huge inconvenience. They said they could bring us a toaster oven, that was not useful at all. There’s a balcony off of the master suite that could not be utilized because the boards were so rotten. I felt like I was gonna fall through if I stepped out there for too long. It was a lot of nails that were popped up on the steps which I tripped on. The pictures in the advertisement showed an umbrella to be used, there was no umbrella so we could not utilize the deck up top during the daytime because of the heat in the sun. The bottom deck, we could only use half of it because the hot tub was leaking continually onto the bottom deck. The wood was all the way up by the house and the fire pit was all the way down by the water so we had to trudge all the firewood from the house down to the fire pit. Which would’ve not been an issue if it wasn’t for the wagon that was there to use all four tires being flat and shredded so we couldn’t even use the wagon. Even though this is not considered an expensive rental I still feel like we paid way too much.

Great river access. We didn't realize until the evening of the second day that the oven did not work. We texted about the oven and we got a response that maintenance would be contacted. We tried to use the BBQ, but it was gross and rusty. We wanted to use the toaster but it was full of bugs! After 24 hours of no response we decided to leave. We lost half of our vacation time and were refunded less than half of the cost. Is there any accountability? We are not happy with Shenandoah Rentals.

Great river house getaway!

Our stay was exactly what the doctor ordered. My partner and I were looking for a nice waterfront getaway house for the weekend and this place delivered. Only wish we could have stayed a little longer! Perfect for a couple or small family, the house had some nice perks. The outdoor decks were nice for relaxing and dinning. We didn't get a chance to use the hot tube but it did look inviting. We did put the canoes to good use though and enjoyed the riverside fire pit at night. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. Thank you for your hospitality.

Wanted to stay longer

My husband and father spent time on the river fly fishing and making memories. The neighbors were friendly and inviting. Our truck’s water pump went out and one neighbor brought tools over to help. I was a little apprehensive about getting this place since I the rental agreement wasn’t available on the listing and didn’t really agree on having to pay for “extra people” (one person is included in the stay, but if you’re traveling with your spouse, you’ll pay extra for them) since it was me and my husband, but we were last minute traveling and this was our best option. Nonetheless, we absolutely loved the place and will come back again. The hot tub was the perfect touch to our mornings. Our dogs were right at home and enjoyed the water too. There were seasonings and basic cookware in the kitchen but the stores are only 20 mins away if you need anything. We’ll stay longer next time we’re in town!
