Beautiful views of the river. The house had everything we needed and was plenty big for 8 people. The nature walk down to the river isn’t for the weak hearted but totally doable with some hiking boots. We loved our stay and would do it again.

Comfortable house with a beautiful view

Enjoyed our stay, hosts very easy to deal with. The house was comfortable and we enjoyed the view and the outside spaces and kayaks were a big hit with the fishermen, however access to the river was not ideal for our family of mixed ages requiring a drive to access the water.

Five women, three bathrooms; enough space for us around the table, in the main room, on the deck. Lovely view, lots of deer, quiet neighborhood. Central to the activities we had planned.

Relaxing time on Shenandoah River

Our family of eight loved staying here. We were able to cook meals and do laundry throughout the week. Our younger kids loved the games and toys. We enjoyed hiking down to the river to kayak and we enjoyed roasting hot dogs and smores in the backyard. It was just so peaceful - a little off the beaten path and relaxing.

Great trip

The house was clean and as described. The view from the deck was beautiful and I only wish we were there a little later in the season as the view of the autumn leaves will be spectacular. The s’mores welcome basket was appreciated! We had plenty of room and enjoyed the close proximity of several wineries. Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely come back.

Great Property

The property was incredibly comfortable for the 8 of us (4 moms and their 4 teenage sons) with plenty of space and bathrooms. It was clean and homey. It was perfectly situated to all the things to do in the area including tubing, white water rafting, movies, and wineries. The host was attentive and answered questions as they occurred. Loved staying at this property and would do so again.

Perfect getaway spot

A group of friends and I had stayed at this location for a school event for the weekend. The house is located in an adorable, remote area. It had beautiful scenic views and one of the most beautiful ceilings. The owners were amazing as well and made the check in and out process so easy. Their communication was unmatched to any other. We were honestly sad to have to leave. We will definitely try to come back for the next time we have to come.

Beautiful, comfortable home

Friends and I stayed at this home for a long weekend. Zero complaints. Very good communication with host. Very comfortable beds and living space. Approx 15 minutes to casino and winery. Home is right on the river but be aware that it is a pretty treacherous walk down! However, there was a private beach in the neighborhood we were able to use that was AMAZING. It was absolutely beautiful. Would love to come back sometime

Fantastic mountain retreat close to amazing historical sites

Highly recommend we had a blast. House is very well outfitted and for our 3 couples we each had our own bathroom which is a glorious thing. Beautiful views, three firepits and the lake made the outdoor space just what we needed. The climb back up to the house from the lake is no joke not for the elderly but our group of fifty something’s did ok and it was worth it. I’d recommend and may even see about going back for Harper’s Ferry. Well done Songyee and Jeff we appreciate you.

Nice Riverside House and Super-Kid-Friendly!

This is a perfect riverside house just a few steps from the Shenandoah River. The location and view are great! Everything you need is already prepared in the house. The house is clean and well-organized. If you choose a house for a getaway with your family, especially with kids, choose this one, this place is awesome! There's pack-n-play, children's booster chair, plenty of toys, legos, books, and even animals on nearby farms! Your kids will definitely love it!

Serenity Amongst the Chaos

Proximity to many activities and comforts of society while nestled within the protective peacefullness of nature; exactly what we needed. Daily visits by the neighborhood deer and wild turkeys all around was good to see while heading out or coming back from wineries, hiking, cayaking, Harpers Ferry or Charles Town. Our hosts ensured we had everything we needed and replenished firewood within a couple of hours of asking where to get more. The house has a good layout that allows kids their own space while the adults can get a break while taking in views of the river. Highly recommend this property and will return if we are in the area again.

Discovered a gem with this home!!

We’ve never been to West Virginia, and picked this home based on pics and reviews. You always worry when you VRBO that the pics are professionally manipulated or shot just the right way. We can honestly say that this home exceeded our expectations and was a fantastic home base. Got in after 9 hours in the car on Thursday and all the access info was easy and clear. Host checked on us and made sure we didn’t have any questions. Of course we didn’t because the advance part was clear and concise and very descriptive. We were a family of 7, parents and adult children and there was room for all of us. One of the first comments was that there wasn’t a TV in the main living room. Two seconds later, after seeing the view off the deck, the spacious rooms and all that the area had to offer, TV was an afterthought. Made dinner for everyone and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare the meal. All slept well. All seven of us commented on the comfort of the beds and the rooms. Up early the next morning and made a huge breakfast for everyone and off we went. We explored and found that everything was close by. Hiking, history, outdoor adventure, or shopping in cool little shops. Followed the recommendations from the hosts and loved them all. The walk down the hill to the river was steep but worth it. Beautiful and serene. We even took out the kayaks and loved it. Cannot say enough about the house. Roomy yet cozy somehow. Book it — you won’t be disappointed.
