About this property
The River House
About this space
Come unplug at this adorable, spacious cabin on the bank of the
Shenandoah river. Enjoy peaceful dinners amongst the trees on a two tiered deck. Fall asleep to the rhythmic sounds of nature waking to coffee in sunroom.
If you prefer social nightlife, you’re just 10 minutes from the casino, bars and restaurants
The space
This cozy yet spacious cabin has two bedrooms (one queen and one double) with two full baths. One full bath has access from the queen bedroom. There is a trundle bed that opens to two single beds in the day room that over looks the river.
In addition to a full kitchen, dining area and living room, this cabin boasts a sunroom, a day room and a two level deck.
Though this cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood on the river, you’re only ten minutes to the casino, bars and restaurants.
Guest access
The entire cabin including a two level deck, yard around home and direct river access.
Other things to note
This quiet cabin sits on the bank of the river, for easy access to swim, lounge or fish.
I live on adjacent lot to answer questions to help with any concerns.
