We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had all the little touches that made it feel warm and welcoming.The location was perfect—quiet and relaxing, yet still close to everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the space was ideal for unwinding after a long day. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the well-stocked kitchen to the cozy living areas.The host was fantastic—responsive, helpful, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. It’s rare to find a place that feels this effortless and enjoyable.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, stress-free getaway. 10/10 experience!

We were badly in need of some disconnected R&R and this was the perfect place to do it. Spacious, clean, comfortable, with plenty of seating and amenities. It was too warm for the hot tub, but we made much use of the volleyball net, basketball court, and most importantly - the river! Kayaks and tubes were provided, we floated and fished and enjoyed the serenity of the river and mountains. The host is kind, responsive and helpful. I expect that we’ll return again!

Love the house and Amber is very responsive. We had a nice week but the state of the yard was a problem. They had tree removal in the yard multiple days and their truck turned the yard and basketball court into a mud pit which rendered it mostly unusable.

Wonderful time in the valley.

It was a short stay for us, only two days, but we loved every minute of it. We were looking for a place to break up the 11 hour drive home from Tennessee to NY and we were fortunate to have found this location.The scenery is jaw dropping. I would describe it better here, but that would ruin the incredible surprise you get when you turn the corner just minutes from the house and see it for the first time…The house was beautiful and spotless and contained everything necessary to feel at home. We cooked dinner both nights and everything we needed was available. We had a great time hanging out by the fire at night and all of the firewood was provided for. My dog had a better time running around on the massive front lawn. Unfortunately we did not get to make use of the river access, but it is very convenient (at the edge of the driveway) and all of the equipment is available for use.Lastly, Amber by far was the most attentive and responsive host I’ve experienced thus far. I annoyed her with questions three separate times and her responses were almost instantaneous. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my stay and highly recommend!

Amazing!

I’ve never stayed in such a well stocked property! HUGE yard, pet friendly, so close to the river, fire pit, hot tub…I could go on and on! The location was the ideal distance for my adult children to meet us for Easter. The neighbor’s honey was an unexpected treat and we were able to watch him tend his hives. Only 10 minutes to Woodstock for lunch at a pet friendly brewery and we used the grill and giant kitchen to prepare Easter dinner. Amazing property with amazing hosts! Thank you!

Thanksgiving Celebration

We made a great choice in choosing the Riverfront Retreat for our Thanksgiving celebration. The large dining table fit our group and its close proximity to the kitchen made serving and cleanup a breeze. One bedroom is set apart from the others which worked perfectly for one couple who ducked out at 5am to catch a flight out of Dulles (about an hours drive) without disturbing others in the group. We enjoyed hiking in Seven Bends State Park and even toured the Shenandoah Caverns (a short drive). Woodstock has limited restaurant opportunities for dinner but the Woodstock Brewery never disappointed. The Woodstock Food Lion was excellent for groceries. The weather was cold during our stay so we did not partake of many of the outdoor amenities. Our gathering around the firepit was cut short by rain. In better weather, there would have been so much more to do outdoors around the property. But we were content in the very comfortable indoors just visiting and eating. Great property! Would Highly recommend!

The perfect getaway

I spent the weekend here with my siblings and niece. The space was perfect and comfortable for 6 adults and a baby. Amber was a delight to communicate with and had a great welcome book ready for us. The house was clean and cute and the property itself was beautiful and serene (very buggy - bring bug spray!). The location was convenient as we were coming from NJ, NC, and DC. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Amber!

What an absolutely lovely house and location. Everything was perfect! The house has everything you need and more. We enjoyed sitting outside and taking in the peaceful surroundings.

Wonderful stay at the River House

Our two families stayed at the river house for a week, and had a wonderful time! Although it's not a huge house, it's well-designed for a big group: big couch for watching movies, plenty of beds, and lots of activities in and out of the house, including kayaks and tubes for the river, lawn games, and board games. We watched the neighbor tend to beehives and enjoyed sitting on the porch and relaxing. Great place!
