About this property

Private River Front Cottage on the Shenandoah River!

Welcome to River Nest, your ultimate Shenandoah retreat boasting double adjoining riverfront lots, making it a rare gem along the Shenandoah River. Nestled amidst professionally landscaped surroundings and conveniently situated near Harrisonburg, Massanutten, Luray, and National Parks, this immaculate 2 bed/2 bath Riverfront Cottage offers the perfect sanctuary for a tranquil getaway.

Each of the two bedrooms features a cozy queen-size bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The spacious family room beckons with a full-size sleeper sofa, a TV/DVD player, and an extensive movie collection for your entertainment needs. The fully equipped kitchen boasts brand-new appliances, catering to your culinary desires, while breathtaking views of the Shenandoah River await right outside your door.

Accommodating up to 6 guests comfortably, River Nest presents a large elevated deck affording expansive views of the river and lower riverfront lot. Unwind on the lower patio's country swing, or revel in the privacy of separate living spaces on the main and lower levels, accessible only from outside, making it ideal for couples, teens, or guests seeking additional seclusion.

Crossing the country road from the main house and lawn leads you to the riverfront lots, where you can bask in ample space and easy river access. Pitch a tent alongside the riverbank to immerse yourself further in nature's beauty, accompanied by the soothing sounds of the rolling rapids. Fishing enthusiasts will delight in the plentiful opportunities along the river, with a public landing and parking nearby for convenient float trips back to the property.

While the Shenandoah River typically enchants with its pristine allure, occasional rainfall in the area may temporarily affect water quality due to runoff and sediment. Although unpredictable, rest assured that such occurrences are natural and fleeting.

Centrally positioned between Shenandoah and Stanley, River Nest is just a short 10-minute drive from both towns, as well as 15 miles from Massanutten Ski & Indoor/Outdoor Water Park Resort and historic Luray with its renowned Luray Caverns. Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive beckon with their scenic wonders, while nearby wineries, breweries, golf courses, and antique shops offer further exploration opportunities.

While staying at River Nest, anticipate the occasional passing freight train, adding a touch of charm with its low rumble and wheel squeaks. Light sleepers may notice some vibration, but rest assured, there's no whistle to disturb your peace.

Come experience the magic of River Nest and create memories that will endure a lifetime.

Beautiful location
Beautiful property. They have everything you need to enjoy the outdoors. It’s pretty clean and cozy. The goat was nice and responsive. The decor is a bit outdated. We didn’t have the best internet connection and I was unaware that you have to leave the main house to go to the second bedroom downstairs. Overall a beautiful property. I would love to try again when the weather is warm so we could enjoy the river.

Beautiful on the water
We live this place. The owner is excellent. Left us a small basket of goodies for our anniversary and always has been available for questions. Great small mouth fishing in the Shenandoah river right across the street on the property. The place is quiet, we usually see deer on the property and it is a great place to get away from the rat race.
