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.

We had an awesome stay here. The cabin was super clean, in a perfect location, and had everything we needed and more. It was comfortable, easy, and exactly what we were hoping for. Highly recommend!
The cabin was beautiful, very clean and well stocked. Excellent communication with the host. Great location, felt secluded, but quick access to town for shopping and dining. The hot tub was very clean and the game room was a great bonus. Will definitely stay again.
It was the perfect getaway for quality family time, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat!
The host , Jan, was fantastic. Very responsive to any questions we had. The cabin was beautiful and VERY clean. We had everything we needed as far as amenities. Beds and furniture were very comfortable! We had beautiful views of the river.
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!
We had an amazing time at this cabin. The location and scenery were both unbelievable. The host was so accommodating and made sure everything was stocked. They even provided our family of 4 with brand new life jackets for kayaking. If I had any questions, they replied quickly. They even checked in on us during our stay to make sure everything was satisfactory. Great place and great people. We will definitely be back!
This was the cutest cabin ever! Its so simple yet had everything you could need including tubes, fishing poles, arcade games, pool table and a hot tub. The place was spotless and honestly i said numerous times "i could live here". Thank you so much for sharing your piece of comfort and relaxation!
We loved our stay at Simple Pleasures. The cabin was clean and had every thing we needed. The game room was a great addition as were the rocking chairs on the deck. We would definitely stay again.
The house was exactly as described, clean and comfortable. Great response time from host and no issues at all with the rental. Thank you Jan for sharing your beautiful home!!
The owner was fantastic to deal with. The property was very clean and exactly as described. The surrounding area was awesome. Our boys even enjoyed some time fishing along the river.
We had a great weekend at this cabin. We found plenty to do around town, and also relax at cabin by the river with a fire and great view. We plan to come back again.
Cabin had great river views and very peaceful inside and out. Place was very nice and new. Plenty of room for 2 couples. I would definitely stay again.
We had a fantastic time. Cabin is awesome, well stocked and very clean. The property is beautiful. Nights at the firepit and mornings on the porch listening to the river. It doesn't get any better!
I don't have enough space here to describe our stay - husband, sister and I enjoyed the river and the wildlife - and the fireplace inside to end each day. Loved it and hope to return.
This property was perfect for our weekend away. The property owner is so responsive and helpful. We had no issues at all. Super clean and comfy property. Thank you!

Loved sitting on the porch rocking chairs watching
and listening to the river.
The house had a nice mix of fun and beauty.A little old school nerdy with the perfect blend of nature.The host was very nice and was very professional. Would stay here again!
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.
This cabin was amazingly clean and beautifully decorated!!!! Jan was great with communication!!! The river and fire pit were a perfect addition. We will be back!!
