Location is great. Only thing that was a bummer was that there was nothing to get the fire pit started with. We bought firewood, but the home did not have anything to start a fire with. There was one grill lighter, but it was completely dead. The stove inside the house is an infrared stove and the grill outside was not safe to use because it had a leaky connection to the propane tank.

Clean and well appointed! We loved the hot tub and the river access. Fire pit looks inviting, rained a good bit so we weren’t able to use it this trip. Peaceful and relaxing… exactly what we were looking for. We’ll definitely stay again!

We went for our first vacation with our dog and this location was amazing! We used the grill, firepit and hot tub as much as possible! We were able to walk around the property with our dog and leave her on a long leash outside to sleep in the sun most days. We used the canoe to take a short trip up river and then float down ( the current was stronger than we expected after a storm). The owners were extremely proactive in communicating and recommend local places we could go that were pet friendly. TV and DVD selection were great for our daughter young daughter once she got bored with the outdoors. Location was great and the little pod rentals next door looked so cute! There was enough separation between them and us that it was secluded, but was nice to interact with the other guys by the water. Would definitely rent this location again!

Was a great place next to the river for a couple or small family. Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues due to stairs inside and small living room space. Wonderful access to the river. It could use a few upgrades for overall price point. Also it looks very private but you’re next to smaller cabins and upper level of cabin occupied by others. Overall great place to get away for a long weekend retreat.

We had a fantastic stay at our Cabin on the River! From the moment we arrived, we loved every minute of it. The Shenandoah River is absolutely beautiful, and the view from the cabin was great. Our two kids had a blast skipping rocks, snorkeling, kayaking, building bon fires, and hiking. The home was cozy and had everything we needed, making us feel right at home. The beds were very comfortable, and waking up to the stunning view from our cabin each morning was a highlight. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely wonderful family vacation! My husband and I had a fantastic time with our two children.

My first time in Virginia was amazing thanks to this location. It was the perfect gateway from the city and the fast life with my fiancée and 2 little ones (2year&8month) what made this location more special rather than the breathtaking views is that my fiancé grew up close to the air bnb so it was great to get to see where she grew up and enjoy it all as a family. I definitely recommend this Airbnb.

This is our 4th time staying here – just love the beautiful surroundings and peace of the property. The photos really don’t do it justice. We caught fish, went on a boat trip, and just hung out at the fire. We will definitely be booking later this summer. A couple of recommendations:
Watch and Warrant Restaurant in Luray is great
Same with the Chop House Bistro
Page valley fly fishing for a guided trip (we caught 40, and my 7 year old had a great time – they do spin and fly fishing)
Downriver Canoe Company for a canoe trip – the Compton Rapids and the area below are awesome.

We had a wonderful weekend at the Magic River Cabin. The pictures don’t do the property justice; the spot on the river is perfect and so peaceful. The cabin was quaint and homey, and comfortably fit our group of four. Tony was a great host; he was extremely communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall a fantastic stay and would love to visit again!

As always, we had a fantastic stay at Magic River. The cabin was spotless and fully stocked, we didn’t need to purchase any extra coffee, paper products, or cleaning supplies. The grounds were beautiful. Really helpful having a dumpster on sight now so no need to travel to the public dump to dispose of trash. Hosts were proactive and responsive as usual. Can’t wait to come back!

The atmosphere was great, however, most of the dishes were dirty from previous use and kitchen was not very clean(old food residue on pans, utensils, plates, etc). There was also a dirty cup and beer cap by the hottub that was left from the guest before sitting on table. We had a nice stay overall but the cleanliness could be better as there was dog hair/soap residue in the tub/on the tub even with it being a cabin, it could be cleaner. We also weren’t aware cleaning crews would be coming in and out of the upstairs of our cabin until after the air bnb was purchased. I feel it is a bit overpriced for what you get but the outside activities were great. I’d say an overall 3.5 rating as we did have to wait an extra hour to check in due to issues with cleaning. He did accommodate an extra hour at check out however the cleaning people arrived at 1030 when we had til 11. The key was also not in lockbox when we arrived and was hanging next to it for anyone to enter before we arrived.

We had a wonderful stay at Tony’s cabin! Everything was clean and just as described. Tony was very communicative and gave great suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. Check in was very easy, and instructions were very clear. We loved the hot tub and beautiful views of the river. There are other small cabins on the property, but there was enough space around to still have a sense of privacy. I would recommend having snow tires or four wheel drive if visiting during the winter months. We don’t have either on our vehicle and were caught off guard with a surprise snow storm on the last night of our stay. We ended up stuck in the cabin’s driveway until we could be pulled out, which wasn’t a fun ending to our stay. However, we really enjoyed our visit and would love to visit again!

This was a great little cabin in the woods. Loved stepping outside in the morning and walking down to the river’s edge. Plenty of games, books and movies to keep us busy when we weren’t exploring outside. Cell service is not great but the wifi was reliable, perfect for getting away from things. The 3 queen beds accommodated our group well but were pretty firm. Overall loved this spot and would stay here again!

My family enjoyed our weekend getaway.
The view of the river (and access) was incredible! We made s’mores at the fire pit, and enjoyed the hot tub. Lots of room for our dog to roam on her lead!
The kitchen was well stocked. I was so happy to find new condiments(forgot to pack). Bathrooms were stocked with toiletries & plenty of towels for showers & hot tub.
Tony was incredibly communicative and offered to give local recommendations, & help with anything we needed. A wonderful host!
We are already planning to return this Spring!
FYI I recommend printing, or texting, the Step by step directions. It was raining/dark when we arrived. Unbeknownst to us, Gmaps had stopped working and we missed a turn. Thankfully we are Gen X and remember traveling like pirates lol So we arrived fine! It would have been a nonissue if it had been light out! There were balloons hung on the street signs. Definitely wouldn’t have missed the turn had it been daylight!! ❤️

We love Magic River! Always have the most enjoyable time at this beautiful riverfront property. The cabin was in great condition, very clean, fully stocked kitchen. Lots to do in the area, close to historic Luray. Host is very responsive and proactive, very clear instructions and loved that we could download the cabin manual with all the information prior to our trip. We will continue to return to this cabin any chance we can!

We had such a wonderful visit. We loved the cabin! It was even better than the pictures show. The serenity experienced by being able to walk out, skip rocks and listen to the river running downstream plus see the beautiful wildlife were truly fantastic and so peaceful. The instructions given in the manual and shown in the listing were very clear so we knew what to expect and what to bring such as spices/condiments, firewood and that there were nearby tiny homes vs complete seclusion at the property. We had an issue our final morning with a lack of water pressure but my call was answered and the woman that answered was kind and responsive. We tried Watch & Warrant for dinner (delish!), Main Street Flavors for local ice cream (so yummy!), toured Luray Caverns (incredible!), hiked Kennedy’s Peak (great view, take water!) and tubed downriver using the Downriver Canoe Co. services (friendly staff!). We are a family of 5 and all said we had a fantastic time and would come back :).

Loved our mini-stay right on the gorgeous Shenandoah River. Perfect set up, great location. About 20-30 mins to the national park, 15-20 mins to Luray. Tony was so helpful and in constant communication, above and beyond. There were some bugs in the cabin but c’mon people, we’re in the wilderness! Nothing crazy and to be expected. Loved the outdoor setup, we had a wonderful outdoor dinner and had a fire in the fire pit. At night, there are magical fireflies lighting up the sky. FYI we didn’t have cell service, but the wifi worked great! Super quiet and relaxing, highly recommend this spot to stay if you’re in the area. Thanks Tony for the awesome stay:)

We absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful clean property; and not just “clean for a house in the woods” but clean! It felt very private, even with the tiny homes on the edge of the property. It was the perfect getaway without the kids, but we might even bring them next time 🙂

Third time stay here as I wanted to come back in the summer and we weren’t disappointed. The river was low and the weather warm, so we were able to swim to some rocks in the river downstream which my boys really enjoyed. The biggest differences between this time and my previous stays (other than the weather) was that they have installed fast wifi (starlink) which they previously didn’t have. We had an awesome stay!

Great location with close access to Shenandoah National Park. Beautiful setting right along the river! Kitchen is moderately equip. The space inside is unique but worked well for our family. Hot tub was clean and very nice to slide into at the end of our days! Our kids swam in the river. Didn’t use the fire pit but the setting is great! We were just too tired at the end our days to sit out past dark. There are neighboring tiny cabins that the host owns. There were several guests in and out during our stay but never had any disruption. If you are a couple looking for a unique getaway, take a look at Tony’s listing. They look really fun! Lastly, Tony was super responsive during our stay. Best in class in my opinion! Thanks again Tony!

The cabin was adorable, well stocked, and it was just great being able to walk around by the river and hang out by the fire-pit at night. We didn’t get on the water at all, since the water level was a little high from the recent rain but a hot tub in the rain more than made up for it! We will probably spend some more rainy weekends in Rileyville — and maybe try one of his tiny cabins next time! (:
Tony was a fastastic host — friendly, professional, and responsive and really made sure we were taken care of!

A beautiful place in the Shenandoah Valley right by the river. A great location for exploring the area or having a nice, quiet getaway. Exactly what we were looking for. The cabin was charming and had everything we needed, the hot tub was awesome and it was very private.

My stay at Tony’s place was a great experience. The location is exceptional. The Shenandoah River flows quietly right there past the yard. I could hear the river as I grilled, while sitting by the firepit, and even while sitting in the hot tub. I loved the mornings while listening to the birds and the river. It was so peaceful hearing the sounds of nature while also watching the squirrels and birds scurry around. I even saw the sunrise and sunset over the river. The entire area was beautifully green and full of life. As far as the house, I slept really well all week. The shades that cover the windows were a bonus for me as I like to sleep in pitch dark. We cooked several meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Tony was very receptive to communication as he texted me to ensure everything was going well with my stay. Tony’s place is located about 20 minutes north of the town of Luray. The drive into Luray is beautiful with rolling hills and mountains in view. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent host, super responsive, and communicative. This place exceeded my expectations. I took my two boys fishing here for a few days during spring break and it was a perfect getaway! We loved it! The inside is very clean and well-done, with lots of seating, tables, and the bathrooms have amenities and even lots of hooks, which was very convenient! For us it was super quiet, with great peaceful fishing access, and a really fancy & wonderful hot tub. Loved it!

I have been to many cabins on the Shenandoah, and this was by far the best. The house was clean and well decorated and wifi was good. The best part, however, is the property as it is remote, located on a private section of the river, has a beautiful lawn, and is surrounded by woods. Nature moments included eagles, ducks, and geese. A pair of wood ducks and a pair of pileated woodpeckers appear to be nesting in the large sycamore at the base of the stairs to the river. We mostly stayed on the property – relaxed, fished, grilled, and used the hot tub, but I would also recommend the Downriver Canoe Company which is located about 10 minutes away. They put us in right below the Compton rapids and we stayed on the river for an hour or so. Can’t recommend enough and we’ll go back in Summer when we can wade, swim, and snorkel!

This is a beautiful cabin in a great location. It is pricey but worth it except that given the remoteness it would be great if a couple of basic items were provided on arrival – coffee, coffee filters, sugar and firewood for the fire pit. If those has been provided my review would have been 5 stars all the way.

Absolutely LOVED staying here. Even with 30° weather we were able to enjoy being outside in the hot tub with an insanely beautiful view. The cabin is everything you need and was extremely clean and felt like home upon arrival. Tony is an incredibly helpful and quick responding host. The only slight issue we had was no cellular while at the cabin (if you drive 5-10 min away service returns if needed) but it was nice to unplug for a weekend and cellular/WiFi wasn’t missed! Definitely will be coming back!

Our stay here was quite magical. The weather was brisk but beautiful and snowy! The cabin itself was perfect for our family of four, very quaint and cozy. It was honestly exactly what we had hoped for and matched the description to a T. We definitely will be returning again in warmer weather to be able swim and do water activities.

Needed a peaceful getaway in the woods and this cabin was perfect. Was able to soak in the hot tub on the front deck, grill dinner each night, and lounge around in the hammock, all while being steps from the river, with the flowing water as background noise. A bald eagle even flew right over my head one day! There are three other modern cabins on the property that are rented out as well, but they are oriented and spaced out such that it felt totally private. Would recommend and visit again.

Well to start off it’s a great get away from the city is perfect for those looking for peace and quiet everything that’s listed on the amenities and description matched out the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and pans for you to use all you need is your spices you can even bake the over wonders there’s even a bartender kit to make drinks witch was a great little detail because it matched with the hot tub over all it was 30°to 26° the lowest Tony’s heating system worked wonders (also Tony had extra heaters just in case which were useful at the beginning of our stay ) to keep the cabin nice and warm after getting out the hot tub they have extra towels over an amazing place to stay with everything you need definitely coming back 👍🏽

It was the perfect gateway from the city and the fast life with my fiancée and 2 little ones (2year&8month) what made this location more special rather than the breathtaking views is that my fiancé grew up close to the air bnb so it was great to get to see where she grew up and enjoy it all as a family. I definitely recommend this Airbnb.

This is our 4th time staying here - just love the beautiful surroundings and peace of the property. The photos really don't do it justice. We caught fish, went on a boat trip, and just hung out at the fire. We will definitely be booking later this summer. A couple of recommendations:
Watch and Warrant Restaurant in Luray is great
Same with the Chop House Bistro
Page valley fly fishing for a guided trip (we caught 40, and my 7 year old had a great time - they do spin and fly fishing)
Downriver Canoe Company for a canoe trip - the Compton Rapids and the area below are awesome.

We had a wonderful weekend at the Magic River Cabin. The pictures don’t do the property justice; the spot on the river is perfect and so peaceful. The cabin was quaint and homey, and comfortably fit our group of four. Tony was a great host; he was extremely communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall a fantastic stay and would love to visit again!

As always, we had a fantastic stay at Magic River. The cabin was spotless and fully stocked, we didn’t need to purchase any extra coffee, paper products, or cleaning supplies. The grounds were beautiful. Really helpful having a dumpster on sight now so no need to travel to the public dump to dispose of trash. Hosts were proactive and responsive as usual. Can’t wait to come back!

The atmosphere was great, however, most of the dishes were dirty from previous use and kitchen was not very clean(old food residue on pans, utensils, plates, etc). There was also a dirty cup and beer cap by the hottub that was left from the guest before sitting on table. We had a nice stay overall but the cleanliness could be better as there was dog hair/soap residue in the tub/on the tub even with it being a cabin, it could be cleaner. We also weren't aware cleaning crews would be coming in and out of the upstairs of our cabin until after the air bnb was purchased. I feel it is a bit overpriced for what you get but the outside activities were great. I'd say an overall 3.5 rating as we did have to wait an extra hour to check in due to issues with cleaning. He did accommodate an extra hour at check out however the cleaning people arrived at 1030 when we had til 11. The key was also not in lockbox when we arrived and was hanging next to it for anyone to enter before we arrived.

We had a wonderful stay at Tony’s cabin! Everything was clean and just as described. Tony was very communicative and gave great suggestions for restaurants and things to do in the area. Check in was very easy, and instructions were very clear. We loved the hot tub and beautiful views of the river. There are other small cabins on the property, but there was enough space around to still have a sense of privacy. I would recommend having snow tires or four wheel drive if visiting during the winter months. We don’t have either on our vehicle and were caught off guard with a surprise snow storm on the last night of our stay. We ended up stuck in the cabin’s driveway until we could be pulled out, which wasn’t a fun ending to our stay. However, we really enjoyed our visit and would love to visit again!

This was a great little cabin in the woods. Loved stepping outside in the morning and walking down to the river’s edge. Plenty of games, books and movies to keep us busy when we weren’t exploring outside. Cell service is not great but the wifi was reliable, perfect for getting away from things. The 3 queen beds accommodated our group well but were pretty firm. Overall loved this spot and would stay here again!

My family enjoyed our weekend getaway.
The view of the river (and access) was incredible! We made s’mores at the fire pit, and enjoyed the hot tub. Lots of room for our dog to roam on her lead!
The kitchen was well stocked. I was so happy to find new condiments(forgot to pack). Bathrooms were stocked with toiletries & plenty of towels for showers & hot tub.
Tony was incredibly communicative and offered to give local recommendations, & help with anything we needed. A wonderful host!
We are already planning to return this Spring!
FYI I recommend printing, or texting, the Step by step directions. It was raining/dark when we arrived. Unbeknownst to us, Gmaps had stopped working and we missed a turn. Thankfully we are Gen X and remember traveling like pirates lol So we arrived fine! It would have been a nonissue if it had been light out! There were balloons hung on the street signs. Definitely wouldn’t have missed the turn had it been daylight!! ❤️

We had an amazing time at Magic River. Tony and team sent clear and detailed instructions on the cabin and surround areas. We had a great weekend fishing in the river, relaxing in the hammock, cooking our meals in the beautiful cabin, and enjoying time with the dogs in the yard.

We love Magic River! Always have the most enjoyable time at this beautiful riverfront property. The cabin was in great condition, very clean, fully stocked kitchen. Lots to do in the area, close to historic Luray. Host is very responsive and proactive, very clear instructions and loved that we could download the cabin manual with all the information prior to our trip. We will continue to return to this cabin any chance we can!

We had such a wonderful visit. We loved the cabin! It was even better than the pictures show. The serenity experienced by being able to walk out, skip rocks and listen to the river running downstream plus see the beautiful wildlife were truly fantastic and so peaceful. The instructions given in the manual and shown in the listing were very clear so we knew what to expect and what to bring such as spices/condiments, firewood and that there were nearby tiny homes vs complete seclusion at the property. We had an issue our final morning with a lack of water pressure but my call was answered and the woman that answered was kind and responsive. We tried Watch & Warrant for dinner (delish!), Main Street Flavors for local ice cream (so yummy!), toured Luray Caverns (incredible!), hiked Kennedy's Peak (great view, take water!) and tubed downriver using the Downriver Canoe Co. services (friendly staff!). We are a family of 5 and all said we had a fantastic time and would come back :).

Loved our mini-stay right on the gorgeous Shenandoah River. Perfect set up, great location. About 20-30 mins to the national park, 15-20 mins to Luray. Tony was so helpful and in constant communication, above and beyond. There were some bugs in the cabin but c'mon people, we're in the wilderness! Nothing crazy and to be expected. Loved the outdoor setup, we had a wonderful outdoor dinner and had a fire in the fire pit. At night, there are magical fireflies lighting up the sky. FYI we didn't have cell service, but the wifi worked great! Super quiet and relaxing, highly recommend this spot to stay if you're in the area. Thanks Tony for the awesome stay:)

We absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful clean property; and not just “clean for a house in the woods” but clean! It felt very private, even with the tiny homes on the edge of the property. It was the perfect getaway without the kids, but we might even bring them next time 🙂

Third time stay here as I wanted to come back in the summer and we weren't disappointed. The river was low and the weather warm, so we were able to swim to some rocks in the river downstream which my boys really enjoyed. The biggest differences between this time and my previous stays (other than the weather) was that they have installed fast wifi (starlink) which they previously didn't have. We had an awesome stay!

Great location with close access to Shenandoah National Park. Beautiful setting right along the river! Kitchen is moderately equip. The space inside is unique but worked well for our family. Hot tub was clean and very nice to slide into at the end of our days! Our kids swam in the river. Didn’t use the fire pit but the setting is great! We were just too tired at the end our days to sit out past dark. There are neighboring tiny cabins that the host owns. There were several guests in and out during our stay but never had any disruption. If you are a couple looking for a unique getaway, take a look at Tony’s listing. They look really fun! Lastly, Tony was super responsive during our stay. Best in class in my opinion! Thanks again Tony!

The cabin was adorable, well stocked, and it was just great being able to walk around by the river and hang out by the fire-pit at night. We didn't get on the water at all, since the water level was a little high from the recent rain but a hot tub in the rain more than made up for it! We will probably spend some more rainy weekends in Rileyville -- and maybe try one of his tiny cabins next time! (:
Tony was a fastastic host -- friendly, professional, and responsive and really made sure we were taken care of!

A beautiful place in the Shenandoah Valley right by the river. A great location for exploring the area or having a nice, quiet getaway. Exactly what we were looking for. The cabin was charming and had everything we needed, the hot tub was awesome and it was very private.

My stay at Tony's place was a great experience. The location is exceptional. The Shenandoah River flows quietly right there past the yard. I could hear the river as I grilled, while sitting by the firepit, and even while sitting in the hot tub. I loved the mornings while listening to the birds and the river. It was so peaceful hearing the sounds of nature while also watching the squirrels and birds scurry around. I even saw the sunrise and sunset over the river. The entire area was beautifully green and full of life. As far as the house, I slept really well all week. The shades that cover the windows were a bonus for me as I like to sleep in pitch dark. We cooked several meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Tony was very receptive to communication as he texted me to ensure everything was going well with my stay. Tony's place is located about 20 minutes north of the town of Luray. The drive into Luray is beautiful with rolling hills and mountains in view. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent host, super responsive, and communicative. This place exceeded my expectations. I took my two boys fishing here for a few days during spring break and it was a perfect getaway! We loved it! The inside is very clean and well-done, with lots of seating, tables, and the bathrooms have amenities and even lots of hooks, which was very convenient! For us it was super quiet, with great peaceful fishing access, and a really fancy & wonderful hot tub. Loved it!

I have been to many cabins on the Shenandoah, and this was by far the best. The house was clean and well decorated and wifi was good. The best part, however, is the property as it is remote, located on a private section of the river, has a beautiful lawn, and is surrounded by woods. Nature moments included eagles, ducks, and geese. A pair of wood ducks and a pair of pileated woodpeckers appear to be nesting in the large sycamore at the base of the stairs to the river. We mostly stayed on the property - relaxed, fished, grilled, and used the hot tub, but I would also recommend the Downriver Canoe Company which is located about 10 minutes away. They put us in right below the Compton rapids and we stayed on the river for an hour or so. Can't recommend enough and we'll go back in Summer when we can wade, swim, and snorkel!

This is a beautiful cabin in a great location. It is pricey but worth it except that given the remoteness it would be great if a couple of basic items were provided on arrival - coffee, coffee filters, sugar and firewood for the fire pit. If those has been provided my review would have been 5 stars all the way.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The cabin itself is very well maintained and includes modern finishes. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need to cook your own meals.

Absolutely LOVED staying here. Even with 30° weather we were able to enjoy being outside in the hot tub with an insanely beautiful view. The cabin is everything you need and was extremely clean and felt like home upon arrival. Tony is an incredibly helpful and quick responding host. The only slight issue we had was no cellular while at the cabin (if you drive 5-10 min away service returns if needed) but it was nice to unplug for a weekend and cellular/WiFi wasn’t missed! Definitely will be coming back!

Our stay here was quite magical. The weather was brisk but beautiful and snowy! The cabin itself was perfect for our family of four, very quaint and cozy. It was honestly exactly what we had hoped for and matched the description to a T. We definitely will be returning again in warmer weather to be able swim and do water activities.

Needed a peaceful getaway in the woods and this cabin was perfect. Was able to soak in the hot tub on the front deck, grill dinner each night, and lounge around in the hammock, all while being steps from the river, with the flowing water as background noise. A bald eagle even flew right over my head one day! There are three other modern cabins on the property that are rented out as well, but they are oriented and spaced out such that it felt totally private. Would recommend and visit again.

Well to start off it’s a great get away from the city is perfect for those looking for peace and quiet everything that’s listed on the amenities and description matched out the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and pans for you to use all you need is your spices you can even bake the over wonders there’s even a bartender kit to make drinks witch was a great little detail because it matched with the hot tub over all it was 30°to 26° the lowest Tony’s heating system worked wonders (also Tony had extra heaters just in case which were useful at the beginning of our stay ) to keep the cabin nice and warm after getting out the hot tub they have extra towels over an amazing place to stay with everything you need definitely coming back 👍🏽

Location is great. Only thing that was a bummer was that there was nothing to get the fire pit started with. We bought firewood, but the home did not have anything to start a fire with. There was one grill lighter, but it was completely dead. The stove inside the house is an infrared stove and the grill outside was not safe to use because it had a leaky connection to the propane tank.

We went for our first vacation with our dog and this location was amazing! We used the grill, firepit and hot tub as much as possible! We were able to walk around the property with our dog and leave her on a long leash outside to sleep in the sun most days. We used the canoe to take a short trip up river and then float down ( the current was stronger than we expected after a storm). The owners were extremely proactive in communicating and recommend local places we could go that were pet friendly. TV and DVD selection were great for our daughter young daughter once she got bored with the outdoors. Location was great and the little pod rentals next door looked so cute! There was enough separation between them and us that it was secluded, but was nice to interact with the other guys by the water. Would definitely rent this location again!

Was a great place next to the river for a couple or small family. Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues due to stairs inside and small living room space. Wonderful access to the river. It could use a few upgrades for overall price point. Also it looks very private but you’re next to smaller cabins and upper level of cabin occupied by others. Overall great place to get away for a long weekend retreat.

We had a fantastic stay at our Cabin on the River! From the moment we arrived, we loved every minute of it. The Shenandoah River is absolutely beautiful, and the view from the cabin was great. Our two kids had a blast skipping rocks, snorkeling, kayaking, building bon fires, and hiking. The home was cozy and had everything we needed, making us feel right at home. The beds were very comfortable, and waking up to the stunning view from our cabin each morning was a highlight. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!

This was a great little cabin in the woods. Loved stepping outside in the morning and walking down to the river’s edge. Plenty of games, books and movies to keep us busy when we weren’t exploring outside. Cell service is not great but the wifi was reliable, perfect for getting away from things. The 3 queen beds accommodated our group well but were pretty firm. Overall loved this spot and would stay here again!

My family enjoyed our weekend getaway.
The view of the river (and access) was incredible! We made s’mores at the fire pit, and enjoyed the hot tub. Lots of room for our dog to roam on her lead!
The kitchen was well stocked. I was so happy to find new condiments(forgot to pack). Bathrooms were stocked with toiletries & plenty of towels for showers & hot tub.
Tony was incredibly communicative and offered to give local recommendations, & help with anything we needed. A wonderful host!
We are already planning to return this Spring!
FYI I recommend printing, or texting, the Step by step directions. It was raining/dark when we arrived. Unbeknownst to us, Gmaps had stopped working and we missed a turn. Thankfully we are Gen X and remember traveling like pirates lol So we arrived fine! It would have been a nonissue if it had been light out! There were balloons hung on the street signs. Definitely wouldn’t have missed the turn had it been daylight!! ❤️

We had an amazing time at Magic River. Tony and team sent clear and detailed instructions on the cabin and surround areas. We had a great weekend fishing in the river, relaxing in the hammock, cooking our meals in the beautiful cabin, and enjoying time with the dogs in the yard.
Can’t wait to come back!

We love Magic River! Always have the most enjoyable time at this beautiful riverfront property. The cabin was in great condition, very clean, fully stocked kitchen. Lots to do in the area, close to historic Luray. Host is very responsive and proactive, very clear instructions and loved that we could download the cabin manual with all the information prior to our trip. We will continue to return to this cabin any chance we can!

We had such a wonderful visit. We loved the cabin! It was even better than the pictures show. The serenity experienced by being able to walk out, skip rocks and listen to the river running downstream plus see the beautiful wildlife were truly fantastic and so peaceful. The instructions given in the manual and shown in the listing were very clear so we knew what to expect and what to bring such as spices/condiments, firewood and that there were nearby tiny homes vs complete seclusion at the property. We had an issue our final morning with a lack of water pressure but my call was answered and the woman that answered was kind and responsive. We tried Watch & Warrant for dinner (delish!), Main Street Flavors for local ice cream (so yummy!), toured Luray Caverns (incredible!), hiked Kennedy’s Peak (great view, take water!) and tubed downriver using the Downriver Canoe Co. services (friendly staff!). We are a family of 5 and all said we had a fantastic time and would come back :).

Loved our mini-stay right on the gorgeous Shenandoah River. Perfect set up, great location. About 20-30 mins to the national park, 15-20 mins to Luray. Tony was so helpful and in constant communication, above and beyond. There were some bugs in the cabin but c’mon people, we’re in the wilderness! Nothing crazy and to be expected. Loved the outdoor setup, we had a wonderful outdoor dinner and had a fire in the fire pit. At night, there are magical fireflies lighting up the sky. FYI we didn’t have cell service, but the wifi worked great! Super quiet and relaxing, highly recommend this spot to stay if you’re in the area. Thanks Tony for the awesome stay:)

We absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful clean property; and not just “clean for a house in the woods” but clean! It felt very private, even with the tiny homes on the edge of the property. It was the perfect getaway without the kids, but we might even bring them next time 🙂

Third time stay here as I wanted to come back in the summer and we weren’t disappointed. The river was low and the weather warm, so we were able to swim to some rocks in the river downstream which my boys really enjoyed. The biggest differences between this time and my previous stays (other than the weather) was that they have installed fast wifi (starlink) which they previously didn’t have. We had an awesome stay!

Great location with close access to Shenandoah National Park. Beautiful setting right along the river! Kitchen is moderately equip. The space inside is unique but worked well for our family. Hot tub was clean and very nice to slide into at the end of our days! Our kids swam in the river. Didn’t use the fire pit but the setting is great! We were just too tired at the end our days to sit out past dark. There are neighboring tiny cabins that the host owns. There were several guests in and out during our stay but never had any disruption. If you are a couple looking for a unique getaway, take a look at Tony’s listing. They look really fun! Lastly, Tony was super responsive during our stay. Best in class in my opinion! Thanks again Tony!

The cabin was adorable, well stocked, and it was just great being able to walk around by the river and hang out by the fire-pit at night. We didn’t get on the water at all, since the water level was a little high from the recent rain but a hot tub in the rain more than made up for it! We will probably spend some more rainy weekends in Rileyville — and maybe try one of his tiny cabins next time! (:
Tony was a fastastic host — friendly, professional, and responsive and really made sure we were taken care of!

A beautiful place in the Shenandoah Valley right by the river. A great location for exploring the area or having a nice, quiet getaway. Exactly what we were looking for. The cabin was charming and had everything we needed, the hot tub was awesome and it was very private.

My stay at Tony’s place was a great experience. The location is exceptional. The Shenandoah River flows quietly right there past the yard. I could hear the river as I grilled, while sitting by the firepit, and even while sitting in the hot tub. I loved the mornings while listening to the birds and the river. It was so peaceful hearing the sounds of nature while also watching the squirrels and birds scurry around. I even saw the sunrise and sunset over the river. The entire area was beautifully green and full of life. As far as the house, I slept really well all week. The shades that cover the windows were a bonus for me as I like to sleep in pitch dark. We cooked several meals in the well-stocked kitchen. Tony was very receptive to communication as he texted me to ensure everything was going well with my stay. Tony’s place is located about 20 minutes north of the town of Luray. The drive into Luray is beautiful with rolling hills and mountains in view. I highly recommend this place!

Excellent host, super responsive, and communicative. This place exceeded my expectations. I took my two boys fishing here for a few days during spring break and it was a perfect getaway! We loved it! The inside is very clean and well-done, with lots of seating, tables, and the bathrooms have amenities and even lots of hooks, which was very convenient! For us it was super quiet, with great peaceful fishing access, and a really fancy & wonderful hot tub. Loved it!

I have been to many cabins on the Shenandoah, and this was by far the best. The house was clean and well decorated and wifi was good. The best part, however, is the property as it is remote, located on a private section of the river, has a beautiful lawn, and is surrounded by woods. Nature moments included eagles, ducks, and geese. A pair of wood ducks and a pair of pileated woodpeckers appear to be nesting in the large sycamore at the base of the stairs to the river. We mostly stayed on the property – relaxed, fished, grilled, and used the hot tub, but I would also recommend the Downriver Canoe Company which is located about 10 minutes away. They put us in right below the Compton rapids and we stayed on the river for an hour or so. Can’t recommend enough and we’ll go back in Summer when we can wade, swim, and snorkel!

This is a beautiful cabin in a great location. It is pricey but worth it except that given the remoteness it would be great if a couple of basic items were provided on arrival – coffee, coffee filters, sugar and firewood for the fire pit. If those has been provided my review would have been 5 stars all the way.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The cabin itself is very well maintained and includes modern finishes. The kitchen was stocked with anything you would need to cook your own meals. The beds were very comfy too! The property itself is gorgeous with tons of space and the hot tub was certainly a great bonus! 10/10 would recommend.

Absolutely LOVED staying here. Even with 30° weather we were able to enjoy being outside in the hot tub with an insanely beautiful view. The cabin is everything you need and was extremely clean and felt like home upon arrival. Tony is an incredibly helpful and quick responding host. The only slight issue we had was no cellular while at the cabin (if you drive 5-10 min away service returns if needed) but it was nice to unplug for a weekend and cellular/WiFi wasn’t missed! Definitely will be coming back!

Our stay here was quite magical. The weather was brisk but beautiful and snowy! The cabin itself was perfect for our family of four, very quaint and cozy. It was honestly exactly what we had hoped for and matched the description to a T. We definitely will be returning again in warmer weather to be able swim and do water activities.

Needed a peaceful getaway in the woods and this cabin was perfect. Was able to soak in the hot tub on the front deck, grill dinner each night, and lounge around in the hammock, all while being steps from the river, with the flowing water as background noise. A bald eagle even flew right over my head one day! There are three other modern cabins on the property that are rented out as well, but they are oriented and spaced out such that it felt totally private. Would recommend and visit again.

Well to start off it’s a great get away from the city is perfect for those looking for peace and quiet everything that’s listed on the amenities and description matched out the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and pans for you to use all you need is your spices you can even bake the over wonders there’s even a bartender kit to make drinks witch was a great little detail because it matched with the hot tub over all it was 30°to 26° the lowest Tony’s heating system worked wonders (also Tony had extra heaters just in case which were useful at the beginning of our stay ) to keep the cabin nice and warm after getting out the hot tub they have extra towels over an amazing place to stay with everything you need definitely coming back 👍🏽

Location is great. Only thing that was a bummer was that there was nothing to get the fire pit started with. We bought firewood, but the home did not have anything to start a fire with. There was one grill lighter, but it was completely dead. The stove inside the house is an infrared stove and the grill outside was not safe to use because it had a leaky connection to the propane tank.

Clean and well appointed! We loved the hot tub and the river access. Fire pit looks inviting, rained a good bit so we weren’t able to use it this trip. Peaceful and relaxing… exactly what we were looking for. We’ll definitely stay again!
