peaceful retreat
My family had an absolute blast during our visit, making treasured memories in the embrace of nature. The ambiance was serene and is ideal for unwinding. We love the river, cooking s'mores at the fire pit, & playing at the yard. Everything is provided at Barney's retreat. All you need to bring is food. The not-so-favorite of ours is the hot tub because it appears not so clean and the water is a bit cloudy. Overall, Barney's Retreat is a perfect retreat for rejuvinating the mind and soul.

Mostly Okay.
I scheduled this trip for a short getaway with my spouse and parents. I sought out a property with a hot tub, that was along the Shenandoah River close enough to the Shenandoah NP, and was dog-friendly.
The property was kind enough to allow us to have a second dog for an additional fee above their advertised 1 dog limit.
Comms were smooth.
The property was not super clean but manageable. I'll add, that I communicated with the property management team and they were attentive to addressing the concerns though were dismissive of the issues.
The ceiling has dust and spiderwebs hanging throughout; overhead lights included. There was a wolf spider nest that spanned a couple of feet in the bathroom above the door. There was cookware and dishware that needed to be washed before use, the blender had a black grime on its button panel. The house water filter was in obvious need of replacement (My father and I are plumbers). I needed to clean the toilet when I arrived. The bathroom walls need cleaning as well.
Our chief issue was the state of the hot tub. The water was cloudy to the point that you could not see the bottom of it and the interior of the cover had a green/brown algae/mold film on it.
The property managers were amicable to our request for a refund of the cleaning fee and hot tub charge.
Beyond the tub, spiders, and cleaning need, the property was fine and the location is great. I'd recommend the property and would stay again if the issues fielded were handled.

A weekend away
We loved it… until we checked out the hot tub!
It was unusable. Needed complete cleaning with a water change. I sent an email with pics to the property mgr and they offered to send someone over but we declined knowing the time needed to resolve the issue. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace as well as the fire pit outside. We’d like to go back in nicer weather and clean hot tub!!

I could list everything that was wrong but instead the hot tub was great...the river was beautiful. Unfortunately, my second night was cut short by wind storm cutting electric. It is what it says but it needs some work.

Great Stay!
We had a great stay at Barney’s Retreat. It was the perfect size for 2 and close to attractions. The house was clean and had everything you needed. The screened porch and fire pit were definitely a plus. It was just a little too cold for the hot tub. Overall I would definitely rent this house again and would recommend to others.
