Authentic riverfront log cabin built with hand-hewn logs, nestled along the Shenandoah River in Luray, Virginia on our farm. With 800+ 5-star reviews, it’s a favorite for couples, families, and remote workers. Enjoy acres of private riverfront with water equipment and a trail, then unwind by the wood-burning fireplace or gather around your private campfire. Meet our Mini Highland cows, pigs, honeybees, ducks, chickens, cats, and dogs. Fresh farm eggs and firewood are sold on site.
This is our Daniel Boone cabin, which is our largest cabin and perfect for two to three families or a group of friends. This historic, pioneer style cabin features hand hewn logs dating back to the eighteen-hundreds, paintings from the original owner, country kitchen, and a Baldwin piano. The cabin was lovingly relocated and nestled on 16 acres in an idyllic setting along the bank of the Shenandoah River. Enjoy morning coffee on the large screened in porch while you watch the beauty of the mountains and river unfold. Spend the day canoeing, kayaking, tubing, or fishing and the evening catching fireflies, roasting marshmallows over a campfire, grilling, playing board games, or sipping spirits by the river. On the colder days, cozy up next to the authentic wood burning stone fireplace. The first floor has a full bath, living and dining space, and a full kitchen. The second floor has a half bath and three bedrooms (1 Queen and 2 each with two Twin beds). The third floor has a ladder staircase with 5 Twin beds (perfect for older kiddos).
Note we have three private cabins on the property. Each cabin has its own campfire pit and grill.
Easy drive to the Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, George Washington Forest, Massanutten or Bryce Resorts for skiing, and much more.
Our Annie Oakley dock is great for launching kayaks or canoes or just fishing and hanging out. Walk our Lewis and Clark trail to enjoy wildlife and river views. Let the little ones wade into the river and splash around at Pocahontas Point.
**Fireplace Closed April 1 to September 30**
Note that the cabin has a wood-burning fireplace. The wood smell is woven into the fabric of the entire cabin. Most people don`t smell it, others love the nostalgic smell, and a rare few are sensitive to it.

FIRM NO PETS POLICY (for safety reasons, this includes service animals). Animal lovers welcome, however! This is a hobby farm, and we have other free-roaming pets on the property...dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and honeybees. Co-mingling animals could be disastrous to our livestock and your pet.
On site is a mile long trail that loops around the property. You have access to plenty of water equipment: tubes, kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes...enough water equipment for all guests to enjoy. We have many adult life vests as well and four youth vests. You can access the river directly from our pier. There is a firepit next to the river.
The cabin is minutes from the Shenandoah National Park and George Washington National Forest hiking trails. About a ten-minute drive away are shops perfect for antiquing, the Luray Caverns, an adorable movie theater, restaurants, zip lining adventure, animal rescue zoo, distillery, golf course, brewery, vineyard, and the Luray Caverns. We are also within an easy and scenic drive to area wineries and Massanutten and Bryce ski resorts. See our Guidebook for more places to visit!
While we hope you spend most of your time outdoors, we do have a TV, DVDs, Roku, and board games. Lots of toys/games for children; perfect detox for them to unplug. Remote workers (and kids) will love our fast internet!
We live on the property in the barnhouse. We are available via app messaging, which is the best way to reach us. You might see us around the property during your stay. We love interacting with guests but also respect your privacy.
