River Woods Retreat: Hot Tub, Hikes, 2 Fireplaces, EV

**NEW PHOTOS as of June 17th, 2026*** We have a new game room as of March 2026 featuring a TV/couches, 8 Foot Brunswick Slate Billiard/Pool Table, Wet Bar Area, Desk, bathroom/shower and Small Table for Board Games) with easy access to the hot tub and our outdoor views.

There are two fire places. One fireplace is in the main living area and the other fire place is in the first floor master bedroom. The fireplace in the master bedroom is shared with the private master bathroom.

The master bedroom has a TV, fireplace and it's own private bathroom. The private bathroom shares the fireplace with the master, has dual sinks, a bath tub and a shower

The upstairs features a full bath, two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is 'also a bonus loft which has a futon overlooking the downstairs areas.

******EV Charger****

We have a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 (40 A) for EVs. It has the SAE J1772 (non-Tesla) connection.

*******Hot Tub*******
We have a 460 gallon Jacuzzi Brand Hot Tub. It's 91 x 91 x 38 inches, waterfall, 4 Stage filtration system, Dedicated Circulation pump, UV-C ray filtration. Most low end rental hot tubs will be 76 inches x 66 inches and 32 inches deep. They will not have a dedicated circulation pump, UV-C ray filtration and if you are lucky a single stage filtration system.


**********FAQ**********
Do we need a 4x4?
The roads are paved entirely except for our quarter mile driveway and the last half mile of state roads. My 2007 Ford Focus has no problem with these roads.

However, during a major snow storm (6 plus inches), AWD is helpful.

Can I access the river through the HOA access point?
Yes, the HOA access point is about a ten minute walk from the cabin. However, you would need to provide your own water equipment (tubes, kayaks, life jackets).

Can we have an early check-in/late check-out?
Early check-in possible if the night before is vacant. We can confirm 5PM the day before check-in.

Check out is at 11. No late check-out (cleaners need five hours to clean the home to get it ready for a 4PM check-in)

What types of beds do you have?
We have one king bed, two queen beds and a futon. The futon is on the upstairs loft and doesn't have much privacy. Probably best for a young child.

What do we need to bring to cook?
We have a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils, cups, pots, plates, silverware, glasses and dish ware.

Can we bring extra guests (beyond 6)?
Our limit is strictly set by the HoA, County and State.
Do I need to bring firewood?

Yes, you do need to bring your own firewood for the OUTDOOR fire pit. The fireplaces inside are gas and do not require firewood. Note that there are burn bans in Virginia from February 15th each year through April 30th. We ask that you respect those to protect our National Forest when they are in place(grill and fireplace use still permitted during burn bans).

Nestled in the serene mountains of the Shenandoah Valley, this beautiful cabin provided a peaceful retreat. Within a half-hour’s drive, we were able to explore the northern and central regions of the National Park. The owner was incredibly responsive to our questions and provided quick answers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this cabin for future stays.

We enjoyed the fireplace every morning and evening. The kids loved the loft..their own space to play. Kitchen is equipped with everything we needed to put full meals on the table every night. And we used the fire pit twice for s’mores and family stories. Can’t wait to return!

The River Woods Retreat house was a lovely setting for our family getaway. It is surrounded by forest and you can enjoy the symphony of bird songs from inside or while relaxing on the large deck. Everything we needed was there and the mattresses were super-comfortable.
