Relax and enjoy a cozy vacation with your family, friends and pets on the Shenandoah River.
Sweetwater Vacation Properties newly renovated cottage on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River (Mile 12) north of Luray, VA. Area offers excellent hunting as well as ultra-lite and fly-fishing for Small Mouth Bass, Brim, Red Eye Bass as well as baiting for old standbys like catfish and carp. There are numerous hiking and riding trails throughout the area and over 26 miles of good canoeing water with public access. If you are into plants and trees, there are a wide variety of both in the area. I also recommend a good book and a pair of binoculars for bird watching (Baltimore Orioles are nesting along the river in spring and early summer) or curl up by the campfire or in the hammock with that favorite novel you have been meaning to read. This is definitely Virginia Outdoors at it's finest!

Beautiful and relaxing.
We wanted weekend to unplug and relax and what a way to do it! The cottage is beautifully renovated and right in the river! Our host even left us some surprises for a birthday we were celebrating. It was such a nice touch.

Everything you want, right on the river
It really is right next to the river, which you can hear constantly in the background. It was gorgeous! The screened in porch was a highlight of the house, giving ample space to sip coffee and watch the sun rise. There are good trails to get into right next to the property, and a bit of driving will lead to more. Host was quick to respond to a few questions I had.

Heaven
A perfect getaway to a beautiful wildlife abundant, clean, sparkling river… the Shenandoah! And clean goes for Sweetwater cabin also! There was a fabulous screened porch where we lived, eating, talking, reading, and always watching the geese, the kingfishers, the herons and the ospreys fish. My husband fished but only hooked the little guys…. But that was fine, after all it’s just about getting your line in the water. The cabin was also very private with two large empty field on each side, so we did not worry about bothering anyone. Check this one out! You won’t be disappointed. Nicer than the pics!

Why they chose this property

Sweetwater was love at first sight! We originally purchased it as a private retreat, but found that being able to show others the Virginia Outdoors and what a relaxing time was all about, was extremely gratifying and decided to start sharing it with others . Life here moves at the speed of the river - very slowly! The river at Sweetwater washes away all the stresses associated with life in and around the National Capital region and rejuvenates the mind, body and soul as only the peace and solitude of the outdoors can.

What makes this property unique

Love sitting out along the river bank on a cool spring morning listening to the songs of the Baltimore Orioles or the owls hooting on a warm summer night while sleeping on the screened in porch. The peace and tranquility of floating down the river on a warm summers day while laying on an air mattress with my face submerged under water with mask and snorkel watching the river bottom and all the associated critters pass by. Or the joy of a “gourmet” smore cooked to perfection over a campfire while playing 4, 5, 6, and 12 stringed instruments and singing (or howling) with friends and family is one of life's greatest pleasures. Being rewarded with a nice bass as a result of a not so perfect cast. Finally, marveling at all of the wonders that surround you at Sweetwater and appreciating the beauty of God's creativity!
