This place is #1 in my book. My husband and I stay at their Osprey cabin at least once a year, if not more. Directly on the Shenandoah River, these little cabins are perfect for a stay full of outdoor adventure. We kayaked everyday. The Outfitters store run their own kayaking, tubing, canoeing business, but since we had our own kayak, for a small fee, they will pick you up and take you back to your vehicle. They even picked us up one day all the way on the other side of the River in Bentonville when we wanted to go down further than their normal trips. Everyone is friendly and accomodating and their drivers are great. The cabin is small, but its plenty of room for what you need to do. Two full beds, with twin bunks over, could sleep 6. Bathroom with shower...and AC! Small fridge, microwave and two burner stove (which tends to work when it wants to) But use the outside Grille. Theres a firepit for each cabin too. Must start fires to keep bugs away.

We were looking for a place that we could get a group of friends together for a camping/canoeing weekend. I started searching online and I found Shenandoah River Outfitters. I called them on the phone initially to see how to make reservations and they were so friendly. We stayed in the Drifter and the Paddler cabins. These cabins are very far out and they take some time to reach because you travel on a gravel road. The peace and quiet out there was what we all really needed. Everyone loved the cabins and we already have our cabins booked this Memorial Day 2007. All the beds were equally comfortable and the cabins are perfect for people who just need a place to lay their head at night. The only time we used the cabins were to sleep and shower. The views and air outside were so incredible we all just wanted to stay outside. We liked it so much in May 2006 that we booked again for another weekend in August 2006. Each time we got back we take new friends with us and they get hooked on the place too. So this year when we go back we’re renting 2 cabins instead of just 2. It’s very affordable and worth every penny. We have our own canoes, but Shenandoah River Outfitter will rent canoes for a reasonable price. I highly recommend this for anyone! Just make sure to take every thing you need because like I said you are out in mother nature and it's a long ride back to the grocery store.

If you want a quiet, scenic, private retreat--with a little river kayaking thrown in--within the Shanendoah River Valley, look no further than the Shanendoah River Outfitters and Cabins. We spent two lovely, peaceful nights in a rustic cabin, just a few yards from the gently moving Shanendoah River. The cabin (which easily sleeps six comfortably in two bedrooms) was complete with two-burner stove, microwave, coffeemaker, refrigerator, and cooking utensils. A high front porch overlooked the scenic river in a small forest clearing. Serene, peaceful, with wildlife easily viewable from our own window. The kayak rentals and tours can be booked just 3 miles away along the gravel road; the staff were helpful, informative, and courteous. And the town of Luray was just the peaceful place to relaxe, unwind, and enjoy inexpensive homecooked meals or small-town antique shopping. Imagine: a couple of miles from D.C. and all this wooded, peaceful rest is available! Highly recommended.
