Great cabin, fully equipped

A very nice, clean and well equipped cabin. The owner was very responsive to all our questions. We travel often and if you’re looking for a Shenandoah Valley getaway, you can’t go wrong with this cabin ! Close to the National Park, a state park and quaint small towns with nice restaurants and shops.

Spring Break Getaway!

The property was clean and so well stocked - the kitchen has spices and was even stocked with a hand mixer. The owners live nearby and we're available as a resource for ideas. They were also super responsive to any questions we had.It's a must stay!The road in was a little dusty, and the river had quite a bit of gnats. Bring big spray and a good hat!Otherwise, gorgeous property!

Beautiful cabin with everything that you need

We stayed at the cabin while visiting Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns. Billy was an amazing host who proactively communicated with us throughout our stay. We were impressed with the cabin and its cleanliness. Simple things like the variety of board games, first aid kit, bidet, and prime video streaming made it real like a home away from home. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a place to stay in the mountains.

Anniversary Trip

Very clean home and all the things you need that you don't want to bring was available and in good working order. Some Pluses to this home is the hot-tub and the river in the back of the property. Only downside was that the river was a good 5 min walk in somewhat high grass and the neighborhood dogs barking all the time. We had a great time and the owners were very nice and accommodating!

Bear Timbers

The cabin is beautiful inside. The back porch and deck are lovely. The access to the river was the only issue for me. The river is many yards from the cabin, but, that is ok. My problem was that actually getting in the river at the site with a canoe or kayak and getting back out, are difficult. The bank drops down a bit with no smooth, available way to get in other than to drop the canoe or kayak in and then jump in after it, hoping it won't get taken by the current in the interim. Getting back out requires lifting the canoe or kayak back onto the bank while in the river and then climbing up out after it. If the access could be graded somehow with rocks used to make a little launch site, that would be great. Then, I would want to come back. Thanks!

Great Place for a Family Getaway

This was a great cabin home in a great area of VA. The home was the perfect size for a small family with all of the amenities you would want. The host was very responsive and accommodating during our stay. Luray is a short 15-20 minutes away with lots of great activites and things to see. Couldnt ask for more.

Great River Adventures

This house lives up to its billing. While it isn’t isolated within its own community, it is far enough off the beaten path you’ll feel like you’ve gotten away, but not so far that you can’t easily get whatever you need after a short drive. Having river access is awesome; all we had to do was drive up to our drop in poly and kayak the ten river miles back to the house. The next day, we drove the car to our take out point and did another ten miles by dropping in right there. The hosts are on top of anything you might need. The river is a little bit of a trek but all that did for us was make us feel more attuned to the outdoors! Our dog loved being able to walk and sniff to her hearts content on the property and also enjoyed stretching her legs at the massive local dog park in Front Royal. We will absolutely be back again.

Long Weekend Getaway

The cabin was very clean & had everything we needed. Had a slight hiccup with check-in but the owner was immediately on top of it. Billy was very attentive and responded quickly. As stated in the description, the river is located down the driveway but wished it was closer. Overall, we had a great time. Went to Luray Cavern & stopped at some distilleries & vineyards. Cooter’s was hysterical.

Beary Relaxing

Bear Timbers cabin is a quaint and lovely home. The home provided all the things we needed during our short trip (2 nights). Our mornings consisted of taking a nice walk to the river which is located a short walking distance from the cabin. We enjoyed the views of SNP while soaking in the hot tub. The cabin was very clean and well kept. We are not tap water drinkers, but after reading the welcome manual we did drink from the tap and it was very clean tasting and refreshing. We enjoyed our stay here and hope to return in the future.

Perfect Place for a Peaceful Stay

The cabin was very clean, well furnished, and well stocked with supplies. The location is private, and the views from the river are very pretty. The town of Luray is a short drive away, so grabbing a bite to eat or a scoop of ice cream at local restaurants and shops is easy. The cabin also has a nice gas grill that was perfect for our steak night. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River 😎

🎶 Almost heaven, $%&* Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze 🎶 We had a wonderful family trip to Bear Timbers cabin. Spent our days hanging out on the river, listening to Neil Young, Johnny Cash, John Denver, & watching the Summer Olympics in a clean & beautiful air conditioned cabin. Grilled up some steaks & burgers at night. Made smores around the campfire. Great trip all around!! My kids give it "one million stars". We had an absolute blast! Thank you for the hospitality & accommodations :)
