We had the best time at the cozy riverfront cabin! The house was nicely kept, kitchen was stocked - the view from the porch was amazing. My family loved the fire pit by the water and the use of the kayaks! Thanks for a wonderful time!
The home is older, but so quaint and charming. The view of river from porch is relaxing and refreshing. Great way to spend time with family and decompress. Enjoyed our brief stay. Would definitely return, after we explore other areas for getaways.

The house was very clean and had many extras for guest convenience such as outdoor and indoor play items, even some firewoods, many small items in the house helped our stay. Only thing we missed was linens and towels that we had to bring with us.
This was a great place to unwind and relax. My wife and I really enjoyed the house, location and the weekend.

Thank you for your review. I’m glad we could be of some help. We always aim to make sure guests have what they need, even when unexpected issues come up. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope the rest of your stay went smoothly.
Excellent communication, clean and well maintained property. The house may have been even better than expected from the listing. There was plenty of space, the kitchen was very well stocked and the owners even left extras such as wood for the fire pit, the kayaks, yard games, and a closet full of board games. It’s also a picturesque location right on the Shenandoah river. My family had a wonderful day and I highly recommend this house.

A Perfect Shenandoah River GetawayOur stay at this Shenandoah River cabin was nothing short of incredible. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted with sweeping river views that feel like a deep breath for the soul. The setting is peaceful, quiet, and truly restorative—exactly what you hope for when you book a cabin escape.The home itself is immaculate and so thoughtfully appointed. Every detail feels intentional, from the cozy furnishings to the well-stocked kitchen to the little touches that make settling in effortless. It’s clear that Jeff and Lori take great pride in hosting. They were wonderfully responsive, kind, and genuinely invested in making sure our stay was perfect.This cabin is one of those rare places that works for absolutely any kind of trip. Families will love the space and the river access. Couples will find it romantic and serene. It’s ideal for a fishing getaway, a girls weekend, or—as in our case—a best friends gathering filled with laughter, good food, and long talks by the water.Whether you’re looking for adventure or pure relaxation, this place delivers. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already talking about when we can return. Highly, highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience this week end, what a wonderful property and most thoughtful hosts. I will definitively go back with my kids. We felt right at home the moment we walked in the house. Everything was clean, comfortable and cosy. We had absolutely everything we needed it inside and outside the house. Thank you so much Lori and Jeff for letting experience your home, we could feel the joy and love you put in everything.

We're glad River's Edge was what you expected. Thank you for staying with us!
The house is a great location to stay and do many activities such as skyline drive, luray caverns and rafting. The river is not very deep to swim but anchoring and laying in the tubes was so relaxing and an amazing view. The sunsets were beautiful when walked down to river.

About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Lori Perry
My husband I are both teachers who moved to Virginia from Maryland about 20 years ago.
Why they chose this property
We love the quiet and beauty of the Shenandoah Valley. We were fortunate enough to find this property right on the river where we could build our own cabin. Nothing beats having the Shenandoah River right out your front door.
What makes this property unique
We can swim, fish, and canoe right from the house. Evening campfires overlooking the river are the perfect way to spend an evening after a day in the water. There is plenty to do without leaving the house.
