Simple Pleasures at the River

Brand new cabin. Welcome to Simple Pleasures.The perfect place to relax and enjoy nature, with
stunning views of the Shenandoah River and surrounding forest. Conveniently located near town
attractions such as the Luray Caverns or the Shenandoah National Park, the river cabin offers a
relaxing experience combining comfort and the beauty of the great outdoors. Whether you are
outdoorsy, a homebody, a solo traveler, or traveling with an extended family, we’ve got you covered.
Living room:
The cabin is thoughtfully decorated to encourage rest, rejuvenation, and relaxation. When you
step inside, you will be delighted by the rustic feel, yet rest assured knowing you have every
modern convenience. With 2 bedrooms and two full baths, there is plenty of space for everyone to
keep up with daily routines before enjoying the great outdoors, multiple trails, or fishing from
the bank/river. A flat-screen TV with streaming access/Wi-Fi hangs nearby to entertain you. The
open floor plan is designed to keep conversations flowing. Comfortable seating abounds, and in
addition to an air conditioner, ceiling fans spin lazily overhead to keep the room at the perfect
temperature.
Kitchen and Dining:
The fully appointed kitchen is ready to provide for your every culinary need. Stock the fridge with your preferred beverages, cook your favorite meal, and have a candlelit picnic by the river.
Dining is easy here at the Southern Comfort River Cabin. Lay out a sumptuous feast and dine in
style. The kitchen is furnished with a refrigerator, oven, microwave, and various small appliances, and, of course, all you need for coffee each morning. Enjoy your meal at the dining table or the spacious patio with a spectacular view of the Shenandoah River. We have a
corkscrew ready for you. Bring the wine, pop the cork, and toast to a fantastic vacation! Game Room: In the evenings or on rainy days, take advantage of our game room. there are numerous board games, a Ms. PacMan machine, a Centipede machine, and even a pool table to pass the time away.
Outdoor Spaces:
Words cannot describe the outdoor experience by the river. Enjoy your morning coffee in a
rocking chair on the fully covered deck while you listen to the water and watch for local wildlife,
deer, wild turkeys, owls, and the occasional black bear!
Enjoy our private river lot in warmer weather; bring bathing suits, tubes, fishing poles, or a
kayak and glide down the river. (Tubes and fishing poles are available.) Or you may just want to sit by the firepit, relax and enjoy the view of the river.
With all the natural wonder that the river cabin offers, you might never want to leave your cottage. But if you do, take a short trip to Luray and enjoy everything the town offers, from charming local eateries to grocery shopping and entertainment.

Great location and house everything you need would stay there again. I would give a 10/10 if I had to just pick a few items...a dishwasher would be nice, and maybe a queen beds because the rooms are big enough. But everything was great they really thought of everything from the firewood, to camping chairs, to fishing rods, etc. WONDERFUL!!

Great Experience!

My buddy and I brought our 2 sons (12 & 13) to the cabin and had an awesome time. Everything as advertised, house was new and super clean, fishing was great, property had everything you need. Luray was close enough to get what you need but the cabin was isolated enough so you felt you were deep in the woods. Appreciate the work the owners put in to make sure we had a good experience.

Amazing stay

My husband and I stayed here for our 20th anniversary. It was a great cabin, very peaceful and quite area. Loved the game room when we got bored enough to need something to do but didnt want to go out! Close enough to town without being in town!

great location but you should know ...

everything was very nice. But guests should be aware that you must bring soap for your shower, Kleenex tissue if you need that, a sponge for your dishes, laundry detergent, aluminum foil or plastic wrap if you have leftovers. It is a very nice, but bare-bones cabin. We flew in from out of state for a wedding and immediately had to drive to a grocery store for coffee and other essentials.

Property just as described. House and property are very clean, well maintained and a great location for proximity to attractions like Shenandoah national park. The river on the property provided fishing entertainment and background noise to peaceful porch-sitting.

Perfection at Simple Pleasures

Simple Pleasures cabin could not have been named any better! Everything is top notch and comfortable. The pool table was great, as was the vintage arcade games! We watched otters, deer, blue heron, redtails and more from the porch. Hard to leave this place! The owners are great at communicating and could not be better!
