This one bedroom, one bath carriage house apartment is located on the South Fork Shenandoah River. Experience extreme relaxation on this 9 acre property where wildlife and farm animals abound. Guests will enjoy watching deer, wild turkey, bald eagles and more.

The detached apartment was just completed and features all the amenities you need for relaxing. Guests have dedicated parking and their own separate private entrance with electronic keypad locks, so there are no keys to worry with.

Overlooking the South Fork of the Shenandoah River, guests can access the river via two separate public boat landings in under a five minute drive. The property borders River Bend Ranch, a 250 acre working ranch which offers horseback trail rides to riders of all skill level. The apartment offers magnificent views of the ranch and large riding ring.

The property is 20 miles from the Thornton Gap Entrance of Skyline Drive. Skyline Drive is a 105-mile road that runs the entire length of the Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The drive provides access to numerous trails, including the Appalachian Trail, and it is also used for biking and horseback riding. Skyline Drive is the main road through Shenandoah National Park and has access to campgrounds, visitor centers, and resorts such as Skyland Resort and Big Meadows. The scenic drive is particularly popular in the fall for leaf peeping when the leaves are changing colors. Skyline Drive website: https://visitskylinedrive.org/

Great Stay
The host was excellent! We had a minor issue with the refrigerator, but the host promptly resolved the issue. This carriage house was beautiful and very well maintained. The area was beautiful as well, and not far from two entrances to the Shenandoah National Park. I will definitely come back here!

Wonderful Retreat
We were looking to decompress after the holidays, and this property was perfect! Beautiful views, warm, friendly hosts, and so close to Luray and Shenandoah National Park. We were able to drink in some nature and relax. Loved the chickens and the cows. Thank you to our host, Chip, for the delicious, fresh eggs. Would definitely recommend.

A peaceful and lovely retreat
The accommodations and location were perfect! I was looking to get away from the hustle and bustle, and this abode was absolutely serene. Plus, the interiors were so cozy, and I loved how the host set the ambience to be really welcoming. Also, for anyone wanting to cook, this is THE place. The kitchen is fully loaded, and the host even offered to lend anything else I might need for my cooking purposes. I would definitely go back!

Lovely country retreat
We used this place as a home base when visiting Shenandoah national park. The grounds are beautiful and the apartment is perfect for 2-4 people. It’s cozy, was very warm on chilly November evenings and was very quiet inside, and has everything I could have thought of. The host was very easy going and kind! 5/5 would definitely recommend

Wildlife Viewing
We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and very private. The host is very friendly and replies very quickly to questions. The deer abundant we enjoyed sitting out side watching them late in the evenings. We had everything we needed to enjoy a nice relaxing few days in the mountains.

Fantastic, relaxing stay
We loved our recent stay! The place was very cozy and inviting (not to mention: insanely clean,too!) upon arrival. Everything you need is there and very well organized. Having a one year old, it was a great property to roam. We enjoyed visiting horses/cows and chickens, and even new baby chicks! We loved walking down to the river- great scenery. Chip and his parents are so so friendly and very knowledgeable about the property, animals and the surrounding area if you have any questions. Shenandoah National park is not too far away, no more than 30 mins, we also enjoyed Luray Caverns which is a must. We appreciated our tasty, fresh organic chicken eggs at our door in the morning, as well as your homemade salsa to take home! Thank you again Chip, Mom & Dad :)
