Rustic Mountain Log Cabin Perched on a cliff side above the Shenandoah River

This rustic authentic log cabin allows for the peaceful tranquility of the mountains or a home base for a variety of activities both local and nearby. A spacious family room with a flat screen television with DVD player, two bedrooms each with a queen beds, and one full bath make this cabin a perfect getaway for up to four guests. There is a fully equipped kitchen including microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven, and dishwasher. The cabin has both central heating and air conditioning for multi-season rental opportunities. An outdoor stone fireplace with a picnic table are located near the driveway in back of the cabin. River access is made by a long gradual walk along the ridge down to the river’s edge. There is no dock for swimming and fishing so it can be a little challenging due to height of the bank, brush on the banks and trees to gain access to the river.

River Cabin
This is a nice cabin overlooking the river. It is very peaceful even considering nearby railroad. We didn't have much of a chance to enjoy the property because it rained most of the time we were there.

Loved this cabin
My wife and I stay in cabins often and this is by far one of the tops cabins we have ever been in. Overlooks the river from many view points, including the front porch. Easy parking, great fire pit, and it actually had a yard!

Great location!
We loved the seclusion of this cabin - easy to get to but it was far enough away from other cabins on the property to feel like we were by ourselves. Very cozy and we loved the fireplace!

Peace and serenity
This is a very well appointed cabin. It has a nice rustic feel, is very comfortable and very nicely located. It is secluded and has a nice open area and welcoming feel. R stone wood burning fireplace give a real sense of nostalgia and is a really excellent smenity. The cabin is just outside of the town of Front Royal, with easy access to national and state parks. We really enjoyed our stay.

Rustic Privacy
This property was as advertised. It is rustic but clean with up to date amenities. We especially appreciated the remote feel of the property while still being close to town. I removed 1 star for cleanliness because we had to clean the fireplace before using and we felt the coffee maker needed cleaning before we would use it. A quick run to town for vinegar allowed us to easily clean it up. Also, kitchen plates, utensils and flatware were fine but the commonly used pans were not. All in all, highly recommended if you like rustic feel with privacy in the woods.

Nice little getaway a few steps off the beaten path
This, rustic little cabin offered a quiet get away a few steps off of the beaten path. It was close to a grocery store and several dining options. There was plenty of firewood for a cozy fire. The Wi-Fi and dish TV were a plus.
