Beach's Bottom is a secluded river front property. To reach the serenity of our property you will travel a scenic 6 mile gravel road through Indian Grave Ridge, with views of the river, rock walls, cow pastures, and the George Washington National Forest. At the house you will feel right at home, there are chairs for front and back porch sitting, a chimnea on the deck, a fire pit in the yard and down by the river. You can see and hear the river rolling by from the deck. Walk the sloping hill or drive down to the river. The property has rock ledges throughout. Wildlife galore. Watch the sun set behind the mountain. There is a picnic table and fire ring on the river bank. Walk right down to the river and sit by the river's edge. The river bottom is good here, wade in a few feet, walk across to the other side, walk down or up river to see the rock formations and tons of wildlife and of course take a swim, float in a tube, or put a chair right in the river. You can put the canoes or tubes in at river mile marker 19 which is only 1-2 miles from the house. The fishing is also good at the house with small mouth bass and catfish.

Take a lazy walk down Page Valley Rd; spot deer, birds, ground hogs, turkeys, fox, racoons, squirrels, turtles in the river and listen to the quiet.
