Shenandoah, VA, United States
About
Wake to birdsong in a private log cabin tucked in the woods near the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. Soak in the hot tub under the stars, share wine on the deck daybed as the sun drops through the trees, then warm up by the fireplace with a record spinning. Two king bedrooms work for a couple or two couples. Starlink Wifi, full kitchen, fire pit under a string-lit pergola, Level 2 EV charger, and dogs welcome. Shared river access a short walk away.

The booking guest must be present for the whole stay, and only guests listed on the reservation may stay on the property. ⏰ Arrival & Departure: Check-in is 4:00 PM and checkout is 11:00 AM.

Neighborhood
Shenandoah Gap is a quiet, wooded mountain community on gravel roads, with the Blue Ridge rising in the distance and the South Fork of the Shenandoah River running through the valley below. Mornings are slow, nights are dark enough for real stargazing, and you'll mostly hear birds and wind in the trees. Residents share a river access point on the South Fork, reached by a gravel path and an old stone tunnel. It's a good spot for a picnic, wading, or fishing. A freight rail line runs through the valley between the community and the river. Trains pass a few times a day, including at night. You're well placed for the southern end of Shenandoah National Park. The Swift Run Gap entrance to Skyline Drive is about 15 minutes away, Elkton's brewery and shops are about 10 minutes, Massanutten Resort is about 20, and Luray and its caverns are about 25.
