River's Bend Ranch is a guest ranch and event venue owned and operated by the McConnell family for almost 40 years. We sit on over 250 beautiful acres nestled between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the George Washington National Forest. With a half-mile of shoreline on the Shenandoah River, and over 20 bedrooms on-site, RBR offers the perfect setting for family gatherings, weddings & receptions, group retreats, or just a quiet weekend getaway.
On the ranch guests can enjoy fishing, birding, and walking trails, as well as lawn games and our indoor game room. Trail rides along our piece of the Shenandoah's South Fork are available to guests and the general public, and can accommodate any riding ability.
With the quaint town of Luray, its famous Caverns, and the incredible Skyline Drive just a few miles out, RBR offers access to activities for all tastes and ages.
The property's original Ranch House features a nostalgic country decor and has a large kitchen with a 6ft. island and 12-person table, comfortable family room, formal dining room, five bedrooms and two full baths. Linens and kitchenware provided, as well as flat-screen cable TV. The playground in the side yard and the nearby game room make this a wonderful spot to spend quality time with family and friends! Fire pit and gas grill - firewood and propane provided.
