Great "low key" getaway - awesome location

We had a glorious stay in March. It was cold, but we drove through Shenandoah National Park (glorious), accomplished a marvelous hike, visited the town of Luray and saw Luray Caverns (my husband for the first time). We would definitely recommend this visit for family time that doesn't involve organized activities. It is a quiet, peaceful visit with lots of interesting interactions with nature. Enjoy the Shenandoah Valley Mountains!

Amazing, pet-friendly cabin getaway

Just got back from an amazing weekend at Bear Valley Cabin. Right on the Shenandoah River, this cabin has everything you need for a get-away-from-it-all style retreat. We loved the canoes, easy access to the river for fishing, the fire pit for s'mores, the hot tub (even in the chilly weather)---this cabin has it all. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a respite from their day-to-day life. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Bear Valley

Overall, the property was cozy and quality. The only things that could have gone better would be the gas grill was very greasy so it turned into an open flame but I turned off the gas, pulled off my steaks, and closed the lid, problem solved. When we put our food on the counter the night we got there ants showed up almost immedi. ately

Very Relaxing Stay by the River

Loved our stay at Bear Valley Cabin by the Shenandoah River. Extra credit for firewood to go with the awesome fire pit next to the river--we really enjoyed relaxing and listening to the rapids downstream. Also--based on what I saw in the photos and read under amenities, I did not see a dishwasher mentioned..it was a wonderful surprise to have a dishwasher as I was prepared to have to wash dishes...and we cooked almost all of our meals at the cabin. We really enjoyed the quiet cabin by the river!!!!

A River Runs Through It

Just what the doctor ordered during hectic home renovations! We had a great time here with our 2 retrievers watching them swim in the river, sitting around the campfire at night, hiking during the day and relaxing in the hot tub… simple pleasures are the best! The Shenandoah river ran through all our cares at home, helping us release them and return home rejuvenated 😊🏞️🐾

Beautiful Thanksgiving Retreat!

Great location for our family to celebrate Thanksgiving with our furry friends! Comfortable & cozy cabin. Hot tub was awesome -- very warm & clean. Gorgeous water view. Loved having the convenient gas grill on the deck, and much appreciated the gate on the deck as well. (Random, but... HUGE & inclusive movie selection with TVs!) Gravel road for the last bit of access to the cabin, and about 20 minutes away from groceries/downtown Luray. Similarly convenient access to Thornton Gap entry for Shenandoah.

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

We had a great time spending a long holiday weekend here. It was relaxing and peaceful and perfect for what we needed. However I would say the place needs some work and the owner should put some money back into it. The directv barely works and the internet is non existent but we made due without it. Cosmetically it needs some love. If it got some love we’d probably visit frequently however next time we’ll probably look for a more put together place. Location is fantastic so if you’re cool with rustic and rough around the edges then you’ll love it.

Wanted to stay longer

My husband and father spent time on the river fly fishing and making memories. The neighbors were friendly and inviting. Our truck’s water pump went out and one neighbor brought tools over to help. I was a little apprehensive about getting this place since I the rental agreement wasn’t available on the listing and didn’t really agree on having to pay for “extra people” (one person is included in the stay, but if you’re traveling with your spouse, you’ll pay extra for them) since it was me and my husband, but we were last minute traveling and this was our best option. Nonetheless, we absolutely loved the place and will come back again. The hot tub was the perfect touch to our mornings. Our dogs were right at home and enjoyed the water too. There were seasonings and basic cookware in the kitchen but the stores are only 20 mins away if you need anything. We’ll stay longer next time we’re in town!

Peaceful cabin 10 minutes from Luray

My girlfriend and I stayed here for the long Valentine's Day weekend and we absolutely loved the experience. While this is technically through an agency rather than owner we had plenty of contact with real versus automated messages. This is a perfect place for either a couple or a family of 4 to get away, but more than that and it may feel a bit cramped. Everything was clean, and the hot tub was already hot when we got there late at night to relax after a drive through the mountains. There is plenty of wood to have large fires down by the river, but be careful as after heavy rains the property can be a little muddy near the pit. The cabin is a stone's throw from Luray, and about 45 minutes to Shenandoah National Park, plus plenty of caverns and wineries nearby. I'd highly suggest this place for a short getaway, and I'd love to head back.

Beautiful views, hot tub not so great

This cabin was clean cute. The views amazing! The hot tub was really old and only one setting worked. The tub was rusty and in daylight very uninviting. The water smells bad coming out of the facet, so bring lots of water bottles. They did have a water filter jug in the refrigerator so that was nice for making coffee. There is a lingering musty smell but the air conditioning worked and helped with that. If the owners updated the Hot tub, mattresses and water purifier, this place would be perfect. Such a gem waiting to be polished!

Stink Bug/Extra Person Charge

When we got to the house it great. We walked in and there were stink bugs everywhere. The listing stated that the property slept 6 people…we had 5…I got charged $180 for an “extra person charge” When I brought it up..I was told that the fee is charged when there are more than 2 people. Why say it sleeps 6 if you are going to charge extra? $180 at that!!! I had no choice..last minute booking for a funeral.

Great property

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Lisa, the property manager stated communication with us whenever I had a question. We lost power for about one hour during our stay. This knocked out the Wi-Fi and there is no Internet connection in this area so we had to drive towards town to get phone reception. We called Lisa and left her a text message. She responded immediately and within the hour power had been restored. The cabin is somewhat small, but was clean and tidy. There were only two of us so it was perfect. A family of four could really enjoy it as well. Another float for people to use would be nice as there was only the one. The canoes and paddles and lifejackets were very nice. It was exactly what we were looking for for a peaceful getaway weekend. The area has a lot to do. Fort Valley Ranch was great horseback riding. The wildlife was abundant. We want to return in a couple months to the same property.

A Lovely Time at a Lovely Cabin

We've previously stayed at another cabin down the road from Bear Valley, but this year we wanted to try something different. Bear Valley provided an excellent sanctuary for my group to relax, unwind, and recover from "real life". We tubed in the Shenandoah River, played board games at night, napped in hammocks, and played yard games in the grassy yard every day. The cabin was clean, well maintained, and modern. Wifi was decent -- but obviously we're not there to surf the web. The gas grill was a real delight to use because it's hooked to the main line -- no propane tank to fuss with! Wild life was plentiful to watch, between the heron, beaver, and numerous songbirds nearby. I found the posted notes 'real life tutorial popups' on appliances and near points-of-interest in the cabin to be helpful and not pandering. Keep that door closed, folks! The note about bugs getting in the house is true and real. The hot tub was excellent for evening socializing. Overall, I felt well taken care of at Bear Valley and hope to return next season.
