Fantastic Stay at this Shenandoah River Cottage
Absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage on the Shenandoah River! The location is unbeatable — peaceful, scenic, and just steps from the water. We spent our days kayaking along the river and exploring the nearby hiking trails, which offered breathtaking views and a perfect mix of challenge and beauty. The cottage itself was cozy, spotless, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. If you’re looking for a serene retreat with top-notch outdoor adventures, this is the place! Can't wait to come back.

Wonderful Property
We had a great experience staying at this beautiful cottage overlooking the river. The hosts were responsive and even provided a guide for the area before arrival. Great touches from wood for the fire pit and condiments in the kitchen that made us feel right at home for a very small weekend away to celebrate my 40th bday.

Great place to relax and unwind
We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend stay at the Overlook Cottage!!!! It is such a relaxing and beautiful location. The cottage is so clean and well furnished, you just need to stock up on groceries before you get there so you don't have to leave!!!! We will definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind. :)

Beautiful views, beautiful home!
My friends and I stayed here for a long weekend in August. The house was beautiful and the layout made spending time together effortless. We enjoyed the proximity of the local wineries and using the kayaks on the river. The road getting to the house was on the narrow and winding side but we didn't have any issues. Thank you again for a great time, we all agreed we would definitely stay again!

Wow! Very well appointed cottage with everything we needed for a home away from home. My kids and I really enjoyed everything about this home - from the hot tub to the kayaks to the kitchen with spices and condiments and games to the fire pits and outdoor seating for the beautiful views, this place was everything we needed to connect as a family. Thank you Frank for sharing this little piece of heaven!

Great place for a relaxing getaway
Overall this was a great place for a getaway with my husband! The cottage is very well done. It's incredibly clean, well stocked, and the furnishings and supplies are quite nice. The view is absolutely gorgeous and very peaceful.
The "downsides" were that a bridge is under construction until late 2025 in the area so it takes longer to get to any stores. The last 5 minutes to the property are complete gravel roads and the very last part is a little steep. It's secluded but there is a house next door. It's not close but you can see it. The outdoor cushions on the patio needed to be replaced; we just put towels over them to sit. The grass needed to be cut. And there were a tremendous number of stink bugs. Given the location being in nature, not sure what could be done about those but there were a lot. It may have just been the season, we were there in late September.

Comfort, beauty, ahhhh
This comfortable cabin is somehow away from it all yet still just 10 minutes from groceries and restaurants. Our family of four (two elementary-age boys) spent most of our time outside either on the property, on Skyline Drive hikes, or at nearby parks. When inside, the large selection of board games kept us entertained, and when it was time for screens the WiFi and internet service easily supported us. The recent-model washer and dryer helped us out and we appreciated that detergent was provided.
The kitchen was properly equipped and there were a number of spices available.
The only drawback is the road to get there. Rest assured it is mostly paved or reasonable gravel, but the half-mile along the river is single-lane width in parts and riddled with potholes and rocks. We happened to rent a small SUV so it was fine, but be advised — a small car or sedan might not be well-suited for this location.
We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again if we visit the area again! Thanks!

One of the best vacation cabins we have ever rented!
This was a beautiful property located on the Shenandoah River in the historic Shenandoah Valley. The house was very clean and comfortable with lots of indoor and outdoor space for our party of five. The house was very well equipped with not only plenty of spices for cooking, but ketchup, mustard and salad dressings in the fridge! We enjoyed kayaking and splashing in the river, and visiting Shenandoah National Park as well as the surrounding towns of Front Royal, Winchester and Strasburg and the little longer commute to Washington DC.
That being said, there were a few drawbacks. Number one for me is that the pictures make the river look close by. It is not as it is a hike down a steep gravel drive to some steep railroad tie and gravel steps to the upper deck (very nice place to rest) and then more steps down to the dock on the water. I have moderate arthritis in both knees and back, and found the trip down to the dock challenging. The second issue we had (and this is a more personal preference) was the skylights in the upstairs bedrooms. Sure they let in a lot of light, but they also woke our 3 year old granddaughter up at the crack of dawn as well as my daughter. Some blinds that could be pulled down to cover the skylights at night would have been appreciated. Also, and many reviewers have mentioned this, there is a long gravel road to get to the property which does have it's share of potholes and bumps.
Overall, our experience was very enjoyable, and I will definitely recommend Overlook Cabin to others!

Long weekend getaway
I would’ve given this property a 5 star overall, but let me explain why I gave it a 4 star. First off, the description is on point as well as the pictures provided. The views were gorgeous, the place was overall well stocked more so than expected, and the cleanliness needs a 10 star, because it was one of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed in. We experienced some issues with the hot tub, which we alerted the owners about and they came out to check it out. It was fixed on one day but the next the issues arose again, and we were unable to use the hot tub (big reason why we chose this property) the next day. The hot tub wouldn’t heat past 94 degrees on the last day we tried to use it. I would give 5 stars for communication between us and the owners and she did try her best, given the fact it was over a holiday weekend. Another reason for the 4 star would be the lack of washcloths and towels for a party of 8. We ended up washing some to reuse but it was a bit of a pain. The last issues are the acoustics of the house in general being that you can hear EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING! You can’t turn over in bed without guests above hearing you. Also the shower was luke warm majority of our stay which made for very quick showers (another issue we addressed with the owners at the time of stay). Would I stay here again, yes! They had fully stocked kitchen appliances and utensils, 2 coffee pots one regular and one Keurig, and Kitchen Aid Mixer, board games and so much more! The fireplace was nice at night, and the views were outstanding to look at each morning and evening. The mattress was like sleeping on a cloud! I want to know what brand the mattress was because I slept like a baby each night!

The Overlook was the ideal spot for our annual mountain getaway. My family said I really nailed it this year! The cottage was gorgeous and had everything we could possibly need. We loved having so many different spaces, both indoors and outdoors, to unwind and soak in the beauty of the location. The river views were absolutely breathtaking. The setting is peaceful and private, yet still just a short drive from town and the National Park. The house is stocked with books, games, and puzzles, perfect for family time. I can't say enough good things about the house, the location, and our entire experience.

Holiday Family Get-away
We found the Overlook when seeking a pet-friendly, well-appointed property to spend the week between Christmas and New Years with our family. With plans for baking, cooking, board games and relaxation this house was absolutely perfect. The kitchen has everything! We all enjoyed the home, vista and property.
Every kind of seating you can imagine outside has been thought of--covered porch, open air terrace, expansive deck and rockers on the front porch. The outdoor hot-tub was new, clean, perfect for 3 at a time. We used it every day! When there was an issue with it the property manager responded immediately and it was fixed. We have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties and this by far was the best: Wonderful family who own and manage the property. Truly wanted to make sure we had the best possible experience. The dishwasher stopped working on New Years Eve and before we knew it the owner and his son came and installed a new one so we could keep cooking. WOW!
The view of the Shenandoah in the winter was stunning. Light pours in through the abundant windows. We enjoyed two seating areas (upstairs and down) and the gas fireplace that came on with the touch of a switch. We did use the outside firepit and would have used the propane fire pit (it worked) if we hadn't been so cozy inside. The upstairs 36 ft deck is incredible. Beautiful, serene meadow to walk in and only 10 to 15 mins from stores, restaurants and starbucks. 5 stars all the way for a winter getaway.

Wonderful Private Location
We had a wonderful week at this house close to the Shenandoah National Park ... The property is very private, with amazing views of the Shenandoah river. The house was immaculate upon our arrival, and everything that you may need was available, specially the kitchen! While the walk to the river is quite steep, access to kajaks, and fishing made it so much fun. It was great to sit in the outdoor area at night, and in the morning with a cup of coffee in your hands. Grace was always available when we had questions. Overall, a great experience!
