Fantastic Stay at this Shenandoah River Cottage

Absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage on the Shenandoah River! The location is unbeatable — peaceful, scenic, and just steps from the water. We spent our days kayaking along the river and exploring the nearby hiking trails, which offered breathtaking views and a perfect mix of challenge and beauty. The cottage itself was cozy, spotless, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. If you’re looking for a serene retreat with top-notch outdoor adventures, this is the place! Can't wait to come back.

Great place!

We loved our stay here. Came here to escape DC. Very easy to get to. Still close to civilization but still feels remote on the property. 20 minutes from Skyline Drive.

Wonderful spring break getaway

The cabin is beautiful and very well equipped, inside and out. Just an hour away from our home, but felt a world away. Beautiful views and easy access to lots of outdoor activities. Pet friendly too, which is not always the case for nicer properties. Definitely plan to return and check out the other Rolling River Farm properties.

Great place to relax and unwind

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend stay at the Overlook Cottage!!!! It is such a relaxing and beautiful location. The cottage is so clean and well furnished, you just need to stock up on groceries before you get there so you don't have to leave!!!! We will definitely be back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind. :)

Fantastic getaway

We had such a lovely time at the Overlook. The home was beautiful and every detail carefully considered. The fishing was excellent and the river was so calm that kayaking was a breeze. Grace was super easy to get in touch with anytime we had questions. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice, relaxing stay

Some friends and I rented the house for a few days to get away and we LOVED our stay here. The house was a perfect size and the multiple fire pits, hot tubs, and grill only add to it. Of course being 15 minutes from Shenandoah and located right on the river was amazing. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it without hesitation! I'm sure we'll be back!

Awesome Getaway

Our family stayed here for a short vacation and loved it. Frank is super responsive, the home is beautiful and well appointed, and the location is fantastic. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the many different outdoor seating areas, walked our dog on the property, swam, fished, and kayaked on the river, and at the end of day sat around one of the two fire pits. Really, really great.

Great Spot!

My wife along with one of our friends and out puppy stayed here for two nights. The house was everything we were looking for. It was very clean, quiet and well equipped. The views are even better in person. If you arrive at night, the drive in can be a little challenging, you do have to drive down dirt/gravel roads to get there and as you would expect those types of roads can get rutted. I would certainly stay there again.

Spectacular Shenandoah Views!

We had a fantastic stay in Shenandoah--the cottage was perfect and we are grateful that we could bring our dog with us. Really felt secluded and away from it all--but everything you might need (e.g., Target, Walmart, restaurants) is just a short drive away. There were multiple different outdoor sitting areas--plus a hot tub and kayaks!--for taking in the beautiful river and mountain views. Easy drive to the National Park and Luray and Skyline Caverns. Owners were very responsive and helpful. Wonderful property--highly recommend!

Incredible place to relax

Wow! Very well appointed cottage with everything we needed for a home away from home. My kids and I really enjoyed everything about this home - from the hot tub to the kayaks to the kitchen with spices and condiments and games to the fire pits and outdoor seating for the beautiful views, this place was everything we needed to connect as a family. Thank you Frank for sharing this little piece of heaven!

Serene Slice of the Shenandoah River

The house is exactly as listed, beautiful, private, clean and spacious with all the amenities you could want, including kayaks for a relaxing paddle. Grace the property manager was fantastic and responded quickly and concisely to all of our requests and inquiries. If you’re looking for comfort and adventure in the Shenandoah region, we highly recommend the Overlook Cottage. Get your groceries and supplies first , and then chill!

Wonderful long weekend

We rented the Overlook for a long weekend with our two boys, and another family rented another house on the same property. We all had a wonderful time enjoying the river views, kayaking, grilling and dining on the patio, and roasting s’mores around the fire. The house was very comfortable and clean and had everything we could want for cooking and enjoying our time. Frank was very responsive to all of our questions and needs. We will absolutely be back!

Great place for a relaxing getaway

Overall this was a great place for a getaway with my husband! The cottage is very well done. It's incredibly clean, well stocked, and the furnishings and supplies are quite nice. The view is absolutely gorgeous and very peaceful. The "downsides" were that a bridge is under construction until late 2025 in the area so it takes longer to get to any stores. The last 5 minutes to the property are complete gravel roads and the very last part is a little steep. It's secluded but there is a house next door. It's not close but you can see it. The outdoor cushions on the patio needed to be replaced; we just put towels over them to sit. The grass needed to be cut. And there were a tremendous number of stink bugs. Given the location being in nature, not sure what could be done about those but there were a lot. It may have just been the season, we were there in late September.

Holiday Family Get-away

We found the Overlook when seeking a pet-friendly, well-appointed property to spend the week between Christmas and New Years with our family. With plans for baking, cooking, board games and relaxation this house was absolutely perfect. The kitchen has everything! We all enjoyed the home, vista and property. Every kind of seating you can imagine outside has been thought of--covered porch, open air terrace, expansive deck and rockers on the front porch. The outdoor hot-tub was new, clean, perfect for 3 at a time. We used it every day! When there was an issue with it the property manager responded immediately and it was fixed. We have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties and this by far was the best: Wonderful family who own and manage the property. Truly wanted to make sure we had the best possible experience. The dishwasher stopped working on New Years Eve and before we knew it the owner and his son came and installed a new one so we could keep cooking. WOW! The view of the Shenandoah in the winter was stunning. Light pours in through the abundant windows. We enjoyed two seating areas (upstairs and down) and the gas fireplace that came on with the touch of a switch. We did use the outside firepit and would have used the propane fire pit (it worked) if we hadn't been so cozy inside. The upstairs 36 ft deck is incredible. Beautiful, serene meadow to walk in and only 10 to 15 mins from stores, restaurants and starbucks. 5 stars all the way for a winter getaway.

I want to keep this place a secret

This was my 3rd time renting the Overlook house and it is just as perfect as ever. This time we had 14 friends from DC, so we also rented the Rolling River house - (which is about a 15 min. walk over mowed paths, or a 5 min. drive.) Both places are extremely comfortable, perfectly designed for good "flow," with quality furniture, beds & linens. The porch furniture is insanely comfy, and as it is south facing, you can sit out there (looking out over endless beauty) on a sunny day even in chilly November. The kitchen is well-equipped with quality cookware (we're all now going to buy Kirkland heavy-duty pots and pans!) We did a big dinner together (roast 13 lb. leg of lamb - English roast potatoes, fresh apple crisp) on Sat. night, so we did bring some extra large sheet & roasting pans etc. but there are good-sized pots and pans for usual use. We had a few minor questions (the wrong coffee filters! on no!) and Sean (aka Legolas) responded immediately, driving over with the right ones. (This house needs cone filter, the other needs basket style.) Photos of the views can't possibly capture how it really is. From the living room couch you can see the sun rise and the full moon set at the same time. (Since the vast picture windows are impeccably clean, as is the rest of the house.) A truly perfect escape. You feel completely isolated, but are only 10 min. drive to "civilization." About 20 min. drive to the entrance of Skyline drive - perfect for day hikes. (If you can tear yourself away - which some of us couldn't.)

Weekend Getaway

Our family went up for a weekend getaway to visit our daughter at Shenandoah University. The property was beautiful and the house was perfect for us. We enjoyed the hot tub, playing cards and talking by the fireplace. Thank you for having us we had a wonderful time!
