SPECTACULAR COTTAGE OVERLOOKING THE SHENANDOAH RIVER AND BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS

My family enjoyed a 3 day stay at the River Overlook house. The house has a large well equipped kitchen where we cooked all our meals. We purchased all the food we needed at a nearby market. The rooms are large and clean. There is a gas fireplace in the living room off the kitchen. The dining area has a large table. There is ample porch space with chairs around the house and the hot tub was wonderful.....clean and hot. Our granddaughters enjoyed fishing off the pier in the river and barbecuing hot dogs over the fire pit. And the wifi worked well. The only problem was we did not have heat the first evening.....the owner responded to my text very quickly and was out to the house to check on the issue. He also called a repairman to check the system. After the removal of a clogged filter, the heat worked well. We highly recommend this property.

We spent a family Thanksgiving here and really enjoyed it. The house has wonderful river views and is very comfortable and well equipped. Beds and linens are great and kitchen had everything we needed.There was plenty of room for our family of 8 which included a two toddlers and a dog.This is a great rental very thoughfully planned and decorated. Highly recommended. Owner is very responsive and let our daughter who was travelling a long distance with two small children check in early which was a big help.

This "cottage" was much more than that: it is a beautiful, new, well-designed house nicer than anything we will ever own! It accommodated our family of four adults and two children very comfortably, and had enough space for us to offer lunch to 15 family members on one day that we were there. The location is spectacular, on a bluff overlooking the Shenandoah River and the mountains beyond, and the view can be enjoyed from the porches, the hot tub, and the second-floor balcony. The house came equipped with all amenities as well as basic staple foods and cleaning products. We were there for a family wedding, and the other house on the property offered accommodation for 6 other family members. We could reach them via a 10-15 minute walk through woodland and a field. They enjoyed the can that was near our house, and the younger members of our family also would have done so if we had had one.
The property was very clean and well-maintained. The only problems were the drain in the kitchen sink, which needs a new strainer, and the lack of an outdoor garbage can and recycling containers.
As we arrived on a dark and rainy night, we had great trouble finding the house, as it is the end of a series of very small gravel roads. The main problem was finding the right turn onto Benny's Beach Road, as the sign is hard to see. We finally realized that it followed shortly after the left turn onto Windy Ridge, and after that we had less trouble. It might be helpful if the owner could provide a map, or at least more detailed directions.
We would also like to suggest that he recommend Martin's Supermarket in Front Royal, in addition to Walmart, as they carry a good selection of organic foods and also have an excellent bakery that does custom-made cakes. We got a very nice one there for our granddaughter's birthday.
We would recommend the rental without hesitation, and hope to return there ourselves!
