The Deer Meadow Retreat is an ideal vacation spot for the whole family. There is something for everyone: relax around the campfire, cool off tubing, or use as a home base for exploring Shenandoah National Park. Our newly renovated riverfront vacation home features a fully-equipped kitchen, 4 bedrooms with 7 beds, and beautiful vistas year round. Hike in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, experience historic small town Strasburg, or take in the fall beauty on Skyline Drive National Park. The space PLEASE NOTE: the last 2 miles to the house do not get regular winter maintenance and do not get plowed unless there are 5 or more inches of snow. We highly recommend that all vehicles be four wheel or all wheel drive if there is any snow in the forecast.
The Deer Meadow retreat features 4 bedrooms, two queen beds upstairs and twin over full bunk beds downstairs. The newly renovated and fully updated kitchen and living room give space to entertain and relax. Outdoors, you will enjoy 2 acres of open yard for activities, a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and 200 feet of riverfront access to launch inner tubes, canoes, or kayaks to float down the river. Guest access Guests may use the entire house and yard. Pets are welcome, though please do NOT allow pets in the bedrooms or on any furniture. Other things to note There is a somewhat steep gravel road near the house that must be driven to access the property. This is not a problem 99% of the time and can be handled by 2-wheel drive vehicles, but can cause issues in the case of freezing rain or heavy snow. The hill may offer a challenge if you are driving a large vehicle such as an RV.
Please exercise caution if you decide to access the river! While the river is mostly shallow and slow moving, there are deep pools of 6 ft or more. Please ALWAYS use flotation devices and wear water shoes on your feet if you enter the river, as there may be sharp rocks or broken glass that could cause injury.
