We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay! The house was great, and the hot tub was a nice perk. The host was responsive and everything went smoothly. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at this beautiful cabin. Perfect for a weekend away! Tony’s home was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely place and peaceful location, could use more TLC, dusting, and less controlled thermostat for comfort.
Thanks for the great stay Tony!
Would recommend and absolutely would book another stay!
Great location! Tony and team were proactive on their communications and responded promptly to our questions. Would stay here again.
Loved the river and Luray is a nice town!

It smelled like home. The little things you need to be comfortable...Night lights, warm throws, ottoman, light darkening drapes in the main bedroom, full length mirror, handle for shower on the rear wall, soft closing kitchen drawers and toilet seat, excellent cutlery and flatware, a medicine cabinet to store your toiletries are all personal touches that made it feel like a home
The peace and quiet was so welcoming. Loved that screened in porch. We will be making some of these feature at our home. Tony was very responsive.
Great place

Thank you for the 5-star rating. I appreciate you choosing Tayside-by-the-River and hope you had a lovely stay.
Host is quick to answer, views are phenomenal. Hot tub was great and pet friendly
Negative:
Es gab keinen Vorhang an der Eingangstür zum Zimmer sodass das Licht von der Veranda das Zimmer die ganze Nacht erhellte
A great, peaceful, quiet, place to stay. Great communication and the cabin had lots of kitchen amenities that were useful. The club house passes were also amazing. Wish we had more time to use them all! Loved our family weekend. Would definitely book again,
This is an outstanding home. Located on 3 levels, it has a balcony on each level and a large front porch. All the room are large and nicely decorated. The scenery is breath taking. We had deer in the back yard in the early mornings. The host had left us apples from their orchard--yummy! The house has a huge TV and a ping-pong table. The kitchen has all the necessities plus extras. The wifi works very well. The road to/from the house is quite bumpy the last half mile or so. Do not attempt it with a low-slung car; however, we have a Santa Fe SUV and made it without too much difficulty, just drive slow! We would definitely stay again. This is one of the best places we have ever stayed.
This family vacation was one to remember! Beautifully peaceful location, responsive host, stuff to do for the entire family. We highly recommend eating at Canary grill, the staff were super nice and the atmosphere and the food were amazing. My family and I highly recommend this location. We will definitely be coming back.
Everything was great!
I was in West Virginia to help my daughter post surgery. She lives nearby the property but couldn’t walk up steps for a week.
We looked a several properties. Tony’s pictures stood out, a lot.
And quite honestly it was even nicer than the photos.
It’s a cute house, 1 bedroom on main floor, a must for my daughter. And the second bedroom is in the loft. But it didn’t feel like a loft. It was large, bed was very very comfortable and I got a good nites sleep all 5 days.
Didn’t use the jacuzzi but peeked inside and it was very clean. I had an issue with my jeep and the neighbors on each side of the house came out to offer their help.
Though I was there to nurse my daughter back to health, I truly felt I was on vacation. She did as well.
I highly recommend the house and I’m quite sure all will be pleased.
PS We extended our stay by one day to give her more time to heal. Tony was very accommodating in our request.
Nice cabin. Everything was clean inside. Could use some yard clean up and maintenance, but other than that, everything was perfect. Saw deer in the yard numerous times grazing. Saw a snake eating a frog. Wildlife was amazing. So close to plenty of trails and attractions. Thank you Tony for amazing communication!
This was such a great cabin! If you’re looking for a great home, secluded from noise, with a lot of hiking - this is the perfect spot! We loved the cabin so much we didn’t want to leave much, but the hikes, coffee shop, and quietness were so nice to have.
Home was within walking distance to downtown and the riverwalk. Clean and open floor plan.
