About this property
Shenandoah Retreat / Walk to river / dog friendly
Escape to the Shenandoah Valley and unwind at Acorn Hill - your private mountain retreat just minutes from the Shenandoah River. Spend your days tubing or kayaking, then relax on the deck, soak in the spa tub, or gather around the fire pit under the stars.
This cozy mountain retreat with open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area is perfect for spending time together. Stream your favorite shows, browse the web, or enjoy a home-cooked meal at the table. Prefer dining outdoors? Fire up the charcoal grill and gather on the spacious back deck. In the evening, unwind around the fire pit, roast s’mores, and take in the star-filled skies.
Dog friendly so your furry travel companion (2 max) are welcome to join the adventure ($60 pet fee per dog - no nightly charges).
Acorn Hill comfortably accommodates up to six guests with three bedrooms, each featuring a queen bed. The home includes 1.5 bathrooms—a full bath with a shower (no tub) and a separate room with a large soaking tub and complimentary bath bombs.
While the property isn’t fully secluded, the wooded surroundings and nearby vacation homes create a peaceful, private feel.
Need space for a larger group? Acorn Hill is next door to our other property, Vista Grande, which also sleeps 6. The homes are separated by a wooded lot—close enough for an easy walk between them, yet spaced far enough apart to enjoy your own privacy.
Things to Note:
The charming town of Luray and the famous Luray Caverns are 20 mins away.
Thornton Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park (off Hwy 211) is a scenic 25–30 minute drive from the cabin.
Shenandoah River Outfitters is a walkable distance away (or a 1 minute drive)
Camp fire wood available for purchase ($10 per bundle).
No EV charging is available on-site, and use of indoor or outdoor electrical outlets is not permitted. If you need to charge your vehicle, convenient charging stations can be found in the nearby town of Luray.
