This was probably the most well-appointed cabin I have rented on VRBO. The house has everything you need. Seriously, just bring clothes and food...everything else on already there! The homeowner was responsive and very helpful, providing excellent advice for a day trip to Washington DC. We had a really nice week and enjoyed the area with this very clean and comfortable cabin as a home base!

Host communication was top-notch! The cabin was very comfy and cozy. The hot tub was in excellent working order and we took time to enjoy that each day of our stay. The kitchen was well-appointed and the gas fireplace provided warmth and charm. We enjoyed a roaring fire in the large, open fire pit each night of our stay, too. There was an ample firewood supply, and the wagon made it easy to haul to the fire pit. We were lucky to have two beautiful clear nights to look at the sky while the fire kept us warm.The gas grill on the deck was also in great working order and we used that to prepare our steaks one night.The king bed was very comfortable and the pillows worked just right. All in all, this was a really wonderful weekend get-away destination and we hope to return again.

The cabin very cozy, and the owners spent a great deal of time and effort to not only provide all the information we needed about how to operate the various appliances and entertainment, but they also made the cabin comfortable and welcoming. Also, the hot tub was well-maintained and was a very nice addition to our experience. The cabin and the nice walk to the river made our time there very enjoyable.

This cabin is absolutely beautiful, cozy, and rustic, but with ALL the modern conveniences and additions you could ever want! It is sparkling clean, beautifully appointed, and has a full kitchen, warm electric fireplace, big jacuzzi tub in the Master, a screen porch AND open deck, a great hot tub, and gorgeous river front property just a lovely 3 minute walk away. We wanted a quiet, pet-friendly escape for our holiday, and this was the perfect place. I highly recommend Bear Timbers and would love to return!
Peaceful, cozy, beautiful—inside and out.
Gorgeous riverfront views.
Lots of space to roam, picnic, etc.
The pups loved it too!

Great location for accessing the Park. Lovely walk down to the river. Cabin is well equipped with kitchen supplies for cooking and eating in. The bed in the primary is comfortable. Didn’t use the hot tub or the jacuzzi bath. Appreciated the bidet attachment in the primary bath.

A very nice, clean and well equipped cabin. The owner was very responsive to all our questions. We travel often and if you’re looking for a Shenandoah Valley getaway, you can’t go wrong with this cabin ! Close to the National Park, a state park and quaint small towns with nice restaurants and shops.
