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.

Shenandoah River Getaway

Songyee was an incredible host, her place was what our family needed for a three day private getaway. The house and amenities were exactly as what was described and Songyee was very responsive to our questions. It is a beautiful, peaceful location with a great view of the river and mountains. We really enjoyed swimming and kayaking in the river and definitely want to return in the near future.

Large, comfy house

This house was large and comfortable. Sitting on the deck with a fire in the Solo was so relaxing. The kitchen needs better lighting. It is very dim. And unfortunately the path to the river is very, very steep. It makes enjoying the river nearly impossible. the path to p to the river is very s

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
