Kayaking paradise

The River House is comfort and relaxation at every turn, with multiple cozy spaces inside, to multiple decks and lounges outside for barbeque, river watching, book reading, and star gazing. Our group picked the River House for direct water access, and we had one of our best kayaking trips ever (we used our boats, but the owner has kayaks available). The house is well stocked with whatever you need for the visit. The host was super accessible for our first-day questions, and we felt well-cared for. The house is very clean with lots of windows and light— easy to watch the four groups of geese and goslings passing by in morning and evening. We highly recommend this River House on the Shenandoah and hope to return soon.

The home was clean and lovely. Right on the Shenandoah River! Unfortunately most of our time was spent either working (The wifi was most excellent!) or traveling between families homes, so we did not have a lot of time to just enjoy the house. I was able to get on the river a few times, and the kayaks provided were in good condition. We loved it so much we’re coming back in the spring!
View from the bank.
River is beautiful.
Kayaks are great!
Best office view ever!

My husband and I stayed at this property to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The river house is adorable and exactly as pictured in the listing. John provides all of the essentials you will need for your stay. The property sits right along the Shenandoah River and gave us the peaceful vibe we wanted for our extended weekend stay. The location was close to everything - just a short drive to all the activities we planned. We explored several local historic towns and Civil War battlefields, played and ate at the casino, shopped, and enjoyed the area's abundant views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. There are more breweries and wineries to count - all within a short drive from The River House.John's communication and hospitality were top-notch! He even surprised us by leaving a bottle of wine and anniversary balloon on the counter for us to enjoy upon our arrival. We will absolutely return again in the future!

The house was easy to find, had everything we needed, quiet, rustic and perfect for our stay. Comfortable, clean and pet friendly. Veiws are picturesque to say the least. Food recommendations: Angelos Mediterranean, white horse tavern and charles town family diner.Outdoor activities: Harpers ferry village, maryland heights (harder), weverton cliff (maderate and amazing overlook view. Runners: the loop from avon bend dr to king lear dr and gerneral rodgers back to avon bend rd (house address is 2.5 to 3.7 miles and hilly but a overall enjoyable run.

This vacation home, in the Shenandoah River valley, in John's River House, was one of the most relaxing, private, peaceful, CLEAN places I have EVER had the pleasure to visit! The pictures don't do it justice. The host thought of EVERYTHING from extra pillows ( the good kind; fluffy, fights allergens) to toothbrushes and toothpaste in case you forgot yours. His communication before and during my stay was impeccable. The beds were comfortable. There were several sitting areas with all the touches of home. No issues with any appliances, heating or air, no issues at ALL. And did I mention CLEAN? The scenery from the rear sunroom, outside back decks(PLURAL) and stone patio were UNBELIEVABLE! Paradise found!!! I saw several goose families, with GOSLINGS, some of the biggest fish right near the bank, an eagle, a river otter, and some of the most entertaining juvenile squirrels I ever had the pleasure of watching. They were so funny 🤣. 6 or 7 playing tag, hide and go seek, follow the leader, and an intense parkour course that involved some impressive acrobatics and a canoe, believe it or notWhenever I visit my son and his family in Maryland, I'll try to book this home again. The visit was perfect and I can't say enough wonderful things about the River House in this beautiful stretch of the Shenandoah River. Thank you, John, for sharing your little slice of Heaven with me and my youngest son
