Tony’s airbnb was a great place to stay! Did not end up using the hot tub or grills but still enjoyed the amenities they provided like the tv and stocked kitchen.
2/10/2026
Very cool and cozy place. Kinda disappointed the lake was frozen from the weather really wanted to get in it
1/27/2026
Great place! Definitely want to revisit during summer time again.

Tony and his team deserve an A+++
for being professional and very kind. Our stay was excellent thanks to them.

Great space and location. Tony responds very quickly.

The cabin was nestled in a beautiful section of woods along the river. It was adorable and clean with updated kitchen and bathrooms. The hot tub on the porch was perfect for a post-hike soak under the moon. The town of Luray is a 10-minute drive with restaurants and shops. Would recommend this cabin!
12/31/2025
Wonderful stay and wonderful area. Had An amazing time highly recommended for a nice getaway. Lighting quick responses as well love that.
12/9/2025
Loved the place! It was very clean, and the place was very homey. The instructions to get there and to get inside were very clear. 10/10 would recommend for a mini get away
12/5/2025
Great cabin right on the river, lined with beautiful Sycamore trees… hot tub was a nice treat after hiking… and Tony was a pleasure to communicate with… I will be back! And I highly recommend
10/25/2025
Beautiful house overlooking the river and responsive owners
10/20/2025
We had the most amazing honeymoon, so glad we chose this place to stay. It was clean, peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be staying again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin, scenery, and location were all stunning — we spent most of our time outdoors soaking it all in. Inside, the beds were very comfortable, and the space was beautifully designed with charming vintage touches throughout. Everything was well laid out and felt cozy and welcoming for our family of five. Communication and instructions were fantastic, and the host was extremely helpful and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would absolutely love to come back!
10/4/2025
I am in AWE of this location. I honestly had one of the most relaxing trips of my life at this location. I am absolutely obsessed and will definitely be booking this place again.
10/2/2025
Tony was a great host. He was quick to respond. The place was so peaceful and just what our family needed. To relax!!
9/23/2025
Great place. Beautiful spot on the river.
9/15/2025
Good
9/13/2025
Peaceful and quiet. The property is huge and has enough amenities to entertain a solo traveler or a family reunion. Thank you for opening your home
9/8/2025
The location is incredible and I really enjoyed my stay. I thought the grill and fire pit were also top notch and liked how they were located closer to the water.
9/6/2025
Place looked as described. Clean bathrooms & rooms. Easy check-in. Great location. Clean Grill & Hot tub. Would definitely recommend.
8/17/2025
very nice place to go relax to, they provide a lot of amenities and stuff to do for a really fair price, they try there best to work with you and make an enjoyable and fair priced experience for everyone who comes
8/15/2025
Excellent riverside cabin in a great spot between Luray and Front Royal. Great fishing right out the front door in an easily wadeable section of the river.
8/11/2025
What a hidden gem, close to DC and NOVA yet felt truly like a getaway. Perfect end of summer reset. River was amazing, setting was picturesque, nothing was left needing. Tony was easy and pleasant to communicate with. A must see for sure.
4/20/2025
We had a great time and definitely would come back with the family! The house has such a cute vintage/ rustic feel. The river is so pretty and the perfect little get away! Tony is a great host who is super responsive!
4/7/2025
Such a special place! From the moment we booked, the communication and care from the host were top-tier. The large, private property with two riverfront spots made it feel like our own retreat. The hammock and Kayaking was the highlight, and the cozy cabin had everything needed for comfort and relaxation. The perfect blend of nature, comfort, and great service! Definitely recommend it to anyone in our outside states!
3/16/2025
We had a wonderful stay. The location was peaceful and perfect for relaxing. The cabin was clean, well-maintained, and had all the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay. I’d definitely stay here again!
3/14/2025
The place was great I would highly recommend. Beautiful scenery, great accommodations, very clean, friendly hosts, everything was great. The area is highly maintained. In our time we cooked burgers/dogs and explored the caves/city of Luray which is only about 20 min out. An amazing stay for a couple or small family.
3/14/2025
A cabin with lots of character right on the beautiful Shenandoah River. Hot tub was clean and easy to open and close.
Lovey view of the river from the main bedroom. Close to Shenandoah River State park and Shenandoah National Forest.
Gas grill was also clean and extra propane tanks were available on site. Would recommend and stay again.
3/14/2025
The setting and views are beautiful, the house is comfortable and cozy. A great place to stay with children.
2/4/2025
We loved our stay at the cabin. Beautiful views and everything was just as described. I would definitely come here again!
2/3/2025
Had a great time!
1/30/2025
It was a great stay. Private and secluded , peaceful right by the water. Had a lot of good movie options and games. Would definitely come again
1/9/2025
Great place. Nice to be right next to the river, even in the winter. Enjoyed our stay.
1/6/2025
Tony was a great host and was a very effective communicator. Our last night we had lost power (which was not Tony’s fault) but that was an inconvenience to our stay and hindered us from having anything to do. No electricity, no WiFi, pitch dark in the forest, we were just spooked so we had left the evening before our check out. Overall, great stay!
12/22/2024
The location is amazing, right a long the river. The cabin itself is beautiful and has a lot of amenities. Host was very responsive and informative too!
12/17/2024
This cabin was exactly as described. Having an EV charger was a great addition; saved us from having to make charging stops. The cabin is secluded, but still fairly close to Luray and Front Royal. There was plenty of cookware to make a meal at the cabin as well.
It was a little too cold to take the kayak or canoe for a spin but I liked that they were available.
Tony was easy to communicate with and the instructions were easy to understand.
11/21/2024
Was everything we imaged and more
11/20/2024
This place was amazing! We enjoyed our time here immensely, would definitely come back.
11/13/2024
Truly beautiful location and close to Shenandoah National Park
10/5/2024
Loved the seclusion and the proximity to the river
9/28/2024
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.
9/24/2024
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!
9/4/2024
The cabin was great, and the location on the river was pristine. Loved it! ♥
9/1/2024
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!
8/29/2024
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.
8/25/2024
Great spot to escape to. Peaceful and serene property, right on the river. Comfortable accommodation.
7/21/2024
We had a great time fishing, relaxing in the water, napping in the hammock, and enjoying our evening fires over the long 4th of July holiday weekend.
7/19/2024
Positive:
Geniale Lage am Fluss, abgeschieden und ruhig.
7/18/2024
Beautiful location. Loved the easy access to the river and the hot tub on the deck. We would have loved to enjoy the fire pit but the weather was too hot. That being said we really appreciated the shade on the property. Lots of birds and we even saw deer getting a drink in the river.
7/2/2024
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!
6/30/2024
Absolutely wonderful family vacation! My husband and I had a fantastic time with our two children. We spent our days in the river swimming, boating and fishing and our evenings around a campfire – exactly what we were looking for! The cabin had everything we needed for a smooth, relaxing vacation in the woods.
6/27/2024
Really enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to going again!
6/26/2024
Great locations!
6/5/2024
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.
5/13/2024
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.
4/22/2024
What a great place for a get away weekend! 2 hours from DC with a beautiful outside area and a cute cabin that was comfortable and fit our every need. Will be coming back!
4/21/2024
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!
4/10/2024
It was the prefect getaway for the weekend. Very peaceful waking up to a sunrise and the river right in front.
4/7/2024
Though we had to cut our stay short, we had a great night at Magic River. It was beautiful location and can’t wait to go back to enjoy the hot tub and surroundings! Tony was super responsive and friendly.
3/31/2024
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!
3/16/2024
Positive:
Beautiful view, so much to do at the property. Great space!!!
Negative:
Everything was fantastic! No complaints!
3/11/2024
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.
3/10/2024
Tony was a great host, and his place is wonderful if you’re looking to get away from it all.
It’s right on the river and there’s ample space outdoors to enjoy it!
2/29/2024
Tony is a great host, everything was exactly how it looked in the pictures beautiful area and wonderful get away, with lots to do outdoors and on the property. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice peaceful get away.
2/22/2024
Had a good time staying here again!
2/19/2024
We had a lovely stay at Tony’s cabin! Highly recommend!
2/15/2024
The cabin was just as advertised. Very clean and cozy. 4 of us stayed very comfortable. I really enjoyed the scenery, and being right on the river. We were there mainly to relax, and enjoy the countryside and was not disappointed. Tony was a great host making sure we had everything we needed. Would enjoy staying again.
1/22/2024
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!
1/14/2024
This was a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing stay! Tony was very proactive with anything we might possibly need. Definitely look forward to staying here again.
1/2/2024
Positive:
Cabin and location were excellent
Negative:
Could update coffee maker. The one in the cabin took over two hours to brew.
12/13/2023
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!
12/3/2023
Beautiful spot right on the river. Two places to walk down to the water. Peaceful and serene
11/29/2023
We really enjoyed our stay. Would love to come back in the summer.
11/21/2023
No complaints!
11/16/2023
Such a beautiful cabin with amazing views. We will be back!
11/15/2023
Had a great stay! Brought my furry best friend, and she also had a great time! Very clean, and organized. Great views also!
11/13/2023
Had a blast with a beautiful view!
11/7/2023
Will be back 🙂
11/5/2023
It was a good quiet spot. Nice cozy cabin, well set with amenities and activities.
11/2/2023
A wonderful getaway on the river. Tony is a fantastic host. We will go back for sure! Thank you!
10/23/2023
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!! ❤️
10/22/2023
Quick stay – will have to come back to explore the surroundings more.
10/2/2023
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!
9/28/2023
Beautiful property
9/18/2023
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!
9/3/2023
beautiful setting
8/29/2023
Beautiful inside and outside, even better in person. We hope to return and spend more time.
8/26/2023
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 :).
8/12/2023
perfect location, quiet and peaceful. good spot to get away from the hectic-ness of daily life.
8/6/2023
Was peaceful and cozy cabin!
7/30/2023
Tony’s cabin is beautiful! The river behind the house is lovely, and we were very comfortable. Tony is excellent with communications, and the grounds were so beautifully kept! Everything was clean and felt well kept-up. We had a great time!
7/12/2023
we really enjoyed the quiet get away. private and clean
7/10/2023
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:)
7/3/2023
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 🙂
6/24/2023
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!
6/15/2023
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!
5/25/2023
I loved this place so much!!!! its such the perfect getaway!! will definitely be wanted to visit again.
5/20/2023
Very quite relaxing place. Everything you need for a quite get away
5/14/2023
Superb place to stay. Clear instructions. All amenities and equipments were great. I would recommend my friends. Thank you Tony.. Definitely a Super Host !!!
5/13/2023
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!
5/7/2023
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.
5/7/2023
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!
5/1/2023
Great second stay with my boys.
4/30/2023
Great spot to getaway for the outdoor lovers
4/23/2023
Fantastic. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
4/12/2023
Lovely place to stay and enjoy a few days away.
4/9/2023
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!
4/9/2023
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!

Tony's airbnb was a great place to stay! Did not end up using the hot tub or grills but still enjoyed the amenities they provided like the tv and stocked kitchen.

Very cool and cozy place. Kinda disappointed the lake was frozen from the weather really wanted to get in it

The cabin was nestled in a beautiful section of woods along the river. It was adorable and clean with updated kitchen and bathrooms. The hot tub on the porch was perfect for a post-hike soak under the moon. The town of Luray is a 10-minute drive with restaurants and shops. Would recommend this cabin!
12/31/2025
Wonderful stay and wonderful area. Had An amazing time highly recommended for a nice getaway. Lighting quick responses as well love that.

We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin, scenery, and location were all stunning — we spent most of our time outdoors soaking it all in. Inside, the beds were very comfortable, and the space was beautifully designed with charming vintage touches throughout. Everything was well laid out and felt cozy and welcoming for our family of five. Communication and instructions were fantastic, and the host was extremely helpful and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would absolutely love to come back!

Good

Peaceful and quiet. The property is huge and has enough amenities to entertain a solo traveler or a family reunion. Thank you for opening your home
9/8/2025
The location is incredible and I really enjoyed my stay. I thought the grill and fire pit were also top notch and liked how they were located closer to the water.
9/6/2025
Place looked as described. Clean bathrooms & rooms. Easy check-in. Great location. Clean Grill & Hot tub. Would definitely recommend.
8/17/2025
very nice place to go relax to, they provide a lot of amenities and stuff to do for a really fair price, they try there best to work with you and make an enjoyable and fair priced experience for everyone who comes
8/15/2025
Excellent riverside cabin in a great spot between Luray and Front Royal. Great fishing right out the front door in an easily wadeable section of the river.
8/11/2025
What a hidden gem, close to DC and NOVA yet felt truly like a getaway. Perfect end of summer reset. River was amazing, setting was picturesque, nothing was left needing. Tony was easy and pleasant to communicate with. A must see for sure.
4/20/2025
We had a great time and definitely would come back with the family! The house has such a cute vintage/ rustic feel. The river is so pretty and the perfect little get away! Tony is a great host who is super responsive!
4/7/2025
Such a special place! From the moment we booked, the communication and care from the host were top-tier. The large, private property with two riverfront spots made it feel like our own retreat. The hammock and Kayaking was the highlight, and the cozy cabin had everything needed for comfort and relaxation. The perfect blend of nature, comfort, and great service! Definitely recommend it to anyone in our outside states!
3/16/2025
We had a wonderful stay. The location was peaceful and perfect for relaxing. The cabin was clean, well-maintained, and had all the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay. I’d definitely stay here again!
3/14/2025
The place was great I would highly recommend. Beautiful scenery, great accommodations, very clean, friendly hosts, everything was great. The area is highly maintained. In our time we cooked burgers/dogs and explored the caves/city of Luray which is only about 20 min out. An amazing stay for a couple or small family.
3/14/2025
A cabin with lots of character right on the beautiful Shenandoah River. Hot tub was clean and easy to open and close.
Lovey view of the river from the main bedroom. Close to Shenandoah River State park and Shenandoah National Forest.
Gas grill was also clean and extra propane tanks were available on site. Would recommend and stay again.
3/14/2025
The setting and views are beautiful, the house is comfortable and cozy. A great place to stay with children.
2/4/2025
We loved our stay at the cabin. Beautiful views and everything was just as described. I would definitely come here again!
2/3/2025
Had a great time!
1/30/2025
It was a great stay. Private and secluded , peaceful right by the water. Had a lot of good movie options and games. Would definitely come again
1/9/2025
Great place. Nice to be right next to the river, even in the winter. Enjoyed our stay.
1/6/2025
Tony was a great host and was a very effective communicator. Our last night we had lost power (which was not Tony’s fault) but that was an inconvenience to our stay and hindered us from having anything to do. No electricity, no WiFi, pitch dark in the forest, we were just spooked so we had left the evening before our check out. Overall, great stay!
12/28/2024
Nice stay if you plan on staying in and relaxing I advise this location
12/22/2024
The location is amazing, right a long the river. The cabin itself is beautiful and has a lot of amenities. Host was very responsive and informative too!
12/17/2024
This cabin was exactly as described. Having an EV charger was a great addition; saved us from having to make charging stops. The cabin is secluded, but still fairly close to Luray and Front Royal. There was plenty of cookware to make a meal at the cabin as well.
It was a little too cold to take the kayak or canoe for a spin but I liked that they were available.
Tony was easy to communicate with and the instructions were easy to understand.
11/21/2024
Was everything we imaged and more
11/20/2024
This place was amazing! We enjoyed our time here immensely, would definitely come back.
11/13/2024
Truly beautiful location and close to Shenandoah National Park
10/5/2024
Loved the seclusion and the proximity to the river
9/28/2024
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.
9/24/2024
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!
9/4/2024
The cabin was great, and the location on the river was pristine. Loved it! ♥
9/1/2024
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!
8/29/2024
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.
8/25/2024
Great spot to escape to. Peaceful and serene property, right on the river. Comfortable accommodation.
7/21/2024
We had a great time fishing, relaxing in the water, napping in the hammock, and enjoying our evening fires over the long 4th of July holiday weekend.
7/19/2024
Positive:
Geniale Lage am Fluss, abgeschieden und ruhig.
7/18/2024
Beautiful location. Loved the easy access to the river and the hot tub on the deck. We would have loved to enjoy the fire pit but the weather was too hot. That being said we really appreciated the shade on the property. Lots of birds and we even saw deer getting a drink in the river.
7/2/2024
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!
6/30/2024
Absolutely wonderful family vacation! My husband and I had a fantastic time with our two children. We spent our days in the river swimming, boating and fishing and our evenings around a campfire – exactly what we were looking for! The cabin had everything we needed for a smooth, relaxing vacation in the woods.
6/27/2024
Really enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to going again!
6/26/2024
Great locations!
6/5/2024
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.
5/13/2024
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.
5/1/2024
I was expecting a private area where there wouldn’t be people around. There is 2 other cabins a few feet away. There was someone that came onto the property I rented for a propane gas for his grill which was outside the property I rented. Maintenance on the hot tub was done while I was already there with my family, I expected that to be taken care of before I arrived. Also maintenance person is in and out a lot. There was a time I guess someone stayed to sleep upstairs since there was a light on until about 11pm then it was turned off. Overall it was alright I was expecting more privacy for the price I payed for. It was clean but it is relatively small. The tub that belongs to the living room bathroom didn’t drain quick enough. Overall it’s okay for tops 3 people I wouldn’t suggest more it is a smaller space.
4/22/2024
What a great place for a get away weekend! 2 hours from DC with a beautiful outside area and a cute cabin that was comfortable and fit our every need. Will be coming back!
4/21/2024
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!
4/10/2024
It was the prefect getaway for the weekend. Very peaceful waking up to a sunrise and the river right in front.
4/7/2024
Though we had to cut our stay short, we had a great night at Magic River. It was beautiful location and can't wait to go back to enjoy the hot tub and surroundings! Tony was super responsive and friendly.
3/31/2024
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!
3/16/2024
Positive:
Beautiful view, so much to do at the property. Great space!!!
Negative:
Everything was fantastic! No complaints!
3/11/2024
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.
3/10/2024
Tony was a great host, and his place is wonderful if you’re looking to get away from it all.
It’s right on the river and there’s ample space outdoors to enjoy it!
2/29/2024
Tony is a great host, everything was exactly how it looked in the pictures beautiful area and wonderful get away, with lots to do outdoors and on the property. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice peaceful get away.
2/22/2024
Had a good time staying here again!
2/19/2024
We had a lovely stay at Tony’s cabin! Highly recommend!
2/15/2024
The cabin was just as advertised. Very clean and cozy. 4 of us stayed very comfortable. I really enjoyed the scenery, and being right on the river. We were there mainly to relax, and enjoy the countryside and was not disappointed. Tony was a great host making sure we had everything we needed. Would enjoy staying again.
1/22/2024
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!
1/14/2024
This was a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing stay! Tony was very proactive with anything we might possibly need. Definitely look forward to staying here again.
1/2/2024
Positive:
Cabin and location were excellent
Negative:
Could update coffee maker. The one in the cabin took over two hours to brew.
12/13/2023
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!
12/3/2023
Beautiful spot right on the river. Two places to walk down to the water. Peaceful and serene
11/29/2023
We really enjoyed our stay. Would love to come back in the summer.
11/21/2023
No complaints!
11/16/2023
Such a beautiful cabin with amazing views. We will be back!
11/15/2023
Had a great stay! Brought my furry best friend, and she also had a great time! Very clean, and organized. Great views also!
11/13/2023
Had a blast with a beautiful view!
11/7/2023
Will be back 🙂
11/5/2023
It was a good quiet spot. Nice cozy cabin, well set with amenities and activities.
11/2/2023
A wonderful getaway on the river. Tony is a fantastic host. We will go back for sure! Thank you!
10/23/2023
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!! ❤️
10/22/2023
Quick stay - will have to come back to explore the surroundings more.
10/2/2023
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!
9/28/2023
Beautiful property
9/18/2023
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!
9/3/2023
beautiful setting
8/29/2023
Beautiful inside and outside, even better in person. We hope to return and spend more time.
8/26/2023
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 :).
8/12/2023
perfect location, quiet and peaceful. good spot to get away from the hectic-ness of daily life.
8/6/2023
Was peaceful and cozy cabin!
7/30/2023
Tony's cabin is beautiful! The river behind the house is lovely, and we were very comfortable. Tony is excellent with communications, and the grounds were so beautifully kept! Everything was clean and felt well kept-up. We had a great time!
7/16/2023
This listing is falsely advised, you do not access to the entire cabin, only access to the first floor. In addition, there are three small containers rental on the same property, that are close enough that you can see and hear each other. To intrigue people to rent those small containers, the owner promotes kayak onsite, but they do not have there own separate river entrance. They would have to enter and exit the river through the cabins grill and fire pit space, further reducing your privacy. No coffee, powered creamer, lighter, or firewood is provided. The kitchen is mildly stocked, bring your own condiments if you are going to cook. This property has a centipede infestation, we kept smushing them and they kept appearing. Not to mention, there are mouses in the kitchen, specifically the oven. You might as well grill outside. The hot tub needs some cleaning and the hammock needs to be replaced. Plus, Tony messages you a long list of task to accomplish before leaving the property.
7/12/2023
we really enjoyed the quiet get away. private and clean
7/10/2023
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:)
7/3/2023
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 🙂
6/24/2023
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!
6/15/2023
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!
5/25/2023
I loved this place so much!!!! its such the perfect getaway!! will definitely be wanted to visit again.
5/20/2023
Very quite relaxing place. Everything you need for a quite get away
5/14/2023
Superb place to stay. Clear instructions. All amenities and equipments were great. I would recommend my friends. Thank you Tony.. Definitely a Super Host !!!
5/13/2023
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!
5/7/2023
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.
5/7/2023
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!
5/1/2023
Great second stay with my boys.
4/30/2023
Great spot to getaway for the outdoor lovers
4/23/2023
Fantastic. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
4/12/2023
Lovely place to stay and enjoy a few days away.
4/9/2023
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!
4/9/2023
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!
