Sweet location, clean interior and nicely stocked kitchen (utensils, dishes etc). Grill worked well. Locks a bit of a challenge due to door fit. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the peace and beauty.

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.

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.

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 "low key" getaway - awesome location

We had a glorious stay in March. It was cold, but we drove through Shenandoah National Park (glorious), accomplished a marvelous hike, visited the town of Luray and saw Luray Caverns (my husband for the first time). We would definitely recommend this visit for family time that doesn't involve organized activities. It is a quiet, peaceful visit with lots of interesting interactions with nature. Enjoy the Shenandoah Valley Mountains!

Bear Valley

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 😊🏞️🐾

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.
