About this property

Rustic Riverfront Getaway Directly On The River!! You can't get any closer!

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Need to get away from the big city? You have found your retreat! So many things to see and do, without the crowd. River Haven Cabin is nestled right on the beautiful Shenandoah River, with a spectacular year round view. The very name River Haven hints to its warm and cozy place on the river. Life at the cabin is very low key, just the place to relax and take it easy while having the full features of a home at your finger tips. Explore the river or the nearby national parks, all at your own pace. River Haven has something to offer for all who visit.

River Haven is the perfect place to relax. Enjoy a local hike or sit back on our large deck and enjoy the river. River Haven offers all the comforts of home with the advantages of being located by the Shenandoah River. Bring a pole and lures and enjoy our abundant small mouth bass or take the canoe and tour the river.

River Haven is situated on the northwestern portion of a 200 acre farm named Rivercrest that dates back to an original land grant from the King of England. The original deed granted hundreds of acres to the Moyer/Taylor family who were also distant relatives of our 12th President of the United States , Zachary Taylor. While the Taylors amassed most of their holdings through many local business dealings of the 1800’s, the fertile soil and incredible waterfront beauty of Rivercrest always interested the last heir Everet to farm and cultivate the rich soil and produce abundant crops. In the 1960’s, Mr. Taylor sold roughly an acre of riverfront property to a local businessman and soon after River Haven was born. The previous owners of River Haven upgraded and maintained the waterfront retreat and decided to share its peace, quiet, and solitude with the rest of those looking for a retreat away from the stresses of modern day life. And, to this day, these qualities make River Haven such a unique and incredible property and it invites you to feel like a part of the infamous Shenandoah River like no other can offer. As the owners of Rivercrest and now River Haven we are pleased that the two are once again joined together and we are anxious to add our touches to River Haven and for our guest to experience the stress and tension leaving as you make your way down past the historic farm that we and Mr. Taylor love and cherish and find your peace, solitude, and enjoyment in all that River Haven has to offer.

Exceeded Expectations !!!
We just returned from our long Thanksgiving 4 day stay. It was perfect! We loved the cottage and it was so cozy. The views were amazing. We enjoyed the hottub, the canoe, fishing and the outdoor firepit was a big hit on our chili nights. I cant say enough about the host. Scot wad amazing from the time we booked until check-out. He was so helpful and responded to all our questions right away. The only suggestion i would make is to bring a folding table. We brought one and it came in handy for our meals and playing games. This was exactly what we hoped for and it really did exceed our expectations!!!

Great Location but needs some updates
The location of this cabin is wonderful and it was very relaxing to stay there. Scot was great, and helped accommodate an early check in. This place could absolutely be 5 star with a few small updates. Some weatherproof deck furniture would definitely be a plus to replace the grungy deck cushions. There were no screens on the windows or sliding door to let the air in which would have been nice on the cooler nights. The trash can has no cover which might seem petty but I really don’t want to look at our food scraps. The toilet, which others have mentioned, needs at least two flushes every time. The kitchen was also a little lacking and we had to buy some mixing bowls. The overall inside could also use a good scrub. This is not meant to be a bad review just a nudge to step it up a notch to make it amazing.

What makes this property unique

A true sense of relief touches you as you rest on the deck and look over the river. Your mind wonders as to who traveled the water ways long before automobiles and you are swept back to a much simpler time.
