Family Memories and River Fun
Our extended family (6 adults and 3 grandchildren) had a wonderful experience staying in Fish Trap and Green Castle cabins for a 3-night stay (6/20 to 6/22). The cabins were clean and well equipped for kitchen and grilling needs. The outdoor temperatures were high and the AC for both cabins kept everyone very comfortable. We enjoyed driving the short distance (1 mile) for a raft/tubing outing with Shenandoah River Outfitters - where we spent 4 hours - enjoying a gentle glide on the river with beautiful scenery - our 2 older grandchildren especially enjoyed swimming in the river (with life jackets). River access from both cabins is a bit steep - but once in the river, it was very enjoyable to wade and to fish. Our grandson caught his very first fish in front of Green Castle cabin - a moment he (and all of us) will remember with fondness forever! Communication with Laura about both cabins was very easy. For example, she processed our refund for not using fire wood very promptly. All in all, just a wonderful family experience - we highly recommend both cabins and the management team at Shenandoah Rentals.

Winter vacation
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Fish Trap cabin. It has 3 spacious bedrooms, lovely living room area with fireplace. The outdoor space and access to river front is gorgeous. The place very clean, warm and cozy. The kitchen had plenty of appliances to cook, bake, for coffee/tea.
Easy to access and close to both Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park.
Would definitely go back for a visit!

An awesome family fall getaway!
We truly enjoyed our time spent at the Fish Trap, as a family we try to get away from the hustle and bustle a few times a year and take time to enjoy each other. We rented several cabins in the area and especially enjoyed Fish Trap as it was right nest door to another rental that we had also rented. Our families could walk to each other's vacation homes and therefore share the campfire pit and extra quality time together. We didn't plan on sight seeing on this trip but we did venture into Luray Caverns for an afternoon. We enjoyed our time just hanging out together and along the river.

Amazing Place to Unplug and Relax!!
Our 2nd year coming here and gets better each time! Gorgeous house on the perfect piece of property. Backs right up to the river which makes for an amazing backdrop of the huge fire pit. Can’t wait to go again this summer and then next winter!!! Highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to just unplug and relax.

Absolutely Beautiful !
Perfect location for a relaxing getaway from the everyday hustle and bustle (no cell or wireless) but minutes away from town for shopping and the caverns. Great fishing is a stones throw away from the deck. Brand new cabin with all of the necessities to live comfortably.

Beautiful Weekend in Our Favorite Place!
I’ve been visiting Luray and specifically this stretch of the river for a long time. It’s one of mine and now my family’s favorite places to get away for a long weekend. We usually go for a more rustic place but decided to splurge a bit for wife’s birthday and book fish trap. It definitely did not disappoint. The house was well kept and clean, which is neither here nor there for us because we spend most our time outside. I do have to say I’ve stayed at cabins all up and down S page valley road and this is the nicest lot I’ve stayed at to date. Plenty of space for kids and dogs to roam. Beautiful flat yard perfect for games and activities. Gentle incline up to the cabin and a beautiful stretch of water as they all are. Perfect for a weekend with the family or a few friends. Couldn’t recommend more. I dream to own one of these one day!

Charming riverfront pet friendly cabin
Well-appointed riverfront cabin with nice furnishings, comfortable furniture, and multiple places to sit and relax. Upscale linens and higher quality cookware. Finer hot tub. Don't forget the family dog. Lots of stairs that may be harder for less mobile people to handle. Easy river access from the property.

Amazing getaway
We stayed at Fishtrap for our first getaway since Covid. It was perfect. We have a 4 year old and 2 year old and they are pretty sure we should move in permanently. The house was impeccably clean and well appointed. The river was beautiful and calming. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Great location on river
The cabin was great with all the amenities we needed...especially enjoyed the view of the river. We had great family time on the river and enjoyed the hot tub after kayaking...did not use their canoes but brought our own kayaks.

Amazing Place!
We stayed at Fish Trap in September and the entire experience was fantastic. Great customer service from the rental team, and easy arrival/departure etc.. The house was amazing as was the property. We used the fire pit and grill every day. Relaxed, canoed, and fished. Highly recommend.
