Great weekend!

The house is in a great location. Just secluded enough to enjoy the beautiful nature but only 15min from Luray for dining and things to do. The house was beautiful, clean, and welcoming. The teenagers loved the game room in the basement and the deck off the master bedroom had amazing views! The hosts were so easy to communicate with and very responsive! Lots of nice touches like s’mores kits, drink tickets for local distillery and fresh flowers! We will definitely be back!

Good times for all!

Fun Fun Fun. Lots to do rain or shine!! Extra bonus was the ability to drive down (4 wd) to the river otherwise, its a good workout walking back up. Only request would be directions for washer/dryer use. The price is right on this property - it's a bargain!

Excellent Stay, Highly Recommend!!!

My wife and 3 kids (12,16,18) had a fantastic stay! Check-in - Couldn't have been any easier. Cleanliness - Everything perfectly clean! House - One floor with 3 bedrooms and plenty of room for the 5 of us. Enjoyed movie nights in the living room. Very comfortable couches and recliners. Nice TV, DVD player, and access to streaming platforms. Game room in the basement was lots of fun! Enjoyed playing pool, shuffle board, and foosball. Bedrooms clean and spacious, each with its own TV as well. Views - Unbelievable views no matter what way you looked! We loved sitting on the front porch in the morning having our coffee/tea and looking out over the mountains. Also a fantastic view from the deck off of the main bedroom. Amenities - We've stayed at multiple lake/river houses and this had by far the most amenities. I won't list everything, just take a look at at the description. Again, just had EVERYTHING!! Location - Private neighborhood that was VERY quiet. Neighbors were SO nice! Told them we were renting a house there and they told us some paths to walk for neighborhood use only. Very close to Skyline Drive and Luray Caverns. Fishing - Good fishing from the dock, I found better fishing taking the canoe down river a bit to the shallow area. Live Bait shop about 15 minutes away. As the description says,it's a downhill walk to the river and a tiring walk back up. Either bring an AWD/4WD vehicle or understand that you need to be physically able to walk back up

This house is exceptionally well-stocked and furnished. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for a large group. It has plenty of beds, folding lawn chairs and a basement loaded with games in case you get a rainy day. Everything is in great working order.

Perfect family weekend

We brought our 7 kids to the Luray area for a long weekend "unplugged". Rust Hook was SO welcoming. Plenty of space for our big family. The coffee & snacks & linens were so thoughtful. The house is very clean & well maintained. Beds are comfy. The views are stunning. Our favorite part was having canoes, kayaks & life vests available for all of us to explore the Shenandoah River together!! A close second was the smore kits & provided firewood. As the planner of our family, I truly appreciated so many details covered so I was able to enjoy our time unwinding. We had a few questions during our stay and Jennie was so friendly & quick to respond. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a comfy "home base" while exploring Shenandoah!

Wonderful house and location. Beautiful views on all sides. We had 9 people and everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of room to be together as well as separately and based on age. 2 large decks and a large porch provide lots of great space and views. The teenagers were very happy to have a basement full of entertainment and games for their age. The beds and the accommodations were very comfortable. There are a lot of windows and natural light. Hardwood floors is a big plus. The kitchen was very well stocked. It also has two fire pits with enough Adirondack style chairs and comfortable folding chairs. The inner tubes, inflatable tubes, and kayaks/canoes was a huge plus with great area by the river. Yes, there is a steep hill for going back up from the river, but a 4-wheel car makes it easy. We had Subaru outback and Toyota Highlander, but most people can go up the hill with a little bit of time. The river was absolutely amazing to float, swim, kayak in. And then there is Luray town and caverns, hiking trails, mountains, breweries, and many other activities.

Nice getaway!

Property was nice, bit of walk to river, for little ones. Home was clean, little dated, but it is a river house. Kitchen was well supplied with utensils! The tubes provided did not have netting, thus do not work for smaller kids, they fall out. Kayak was not there, so used canoes, one took on water, useable, not comfortable. All in all nice, but cost to stay, proximity to river, and aged interior design, we would not come back. Do think perfect for family with older children, as basement is well equipped with games we did not utilize, and would make for a fun party room.

Relaxing, with great views

This was our first multi family vacation. 3 generations. My husband had wanted to fish. Due to recent back issues that are very severe he was unable to navigate to the waters edge. It was a very steep access road and our car was not able to drive down it. He never was able to get down their. We are both in our 60’s. I did make it down myself but couldn’t return again. My Grandkids and Daughter/Son in law were able to enjoy the fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. The game room downstairs was a real hit as well. I enjoyed feeding the birds, sitting on the porch, and watching for deer. The only complaint I have was the grass was so high. Both property’s on either side were mowed but it appeared ours had not. It rained a few days while we stayed and each time I took the dog out I got my feet soaked in high grass. All and all we had a great family time. I was grateful I could bring my 16 1/2 year old Dachaund for this trip as well. Jenni and Hap were very helpful and very prompt with returning all messages. This was our first VRBO vacation. It won’t be our last.
