About this property

Christopher's Riverside Cabins "The Shuck"

"The Shuck" is a family owned home/chalet/cabin nestled on the beautiful Shenandoah River in Luray, Va. The new cabin has over 1400 square feet of living space. Along with river frontage, our cabin has mountain views and a large private lot and yard. Our house/cabin is secluded in the country yet still close to the wonderful quaint town of Luray, just 12 minutes away. The property has 2 full baths with tub,showers and a jetted jacuzzi tub in the upstairs loft bedroom. Rekax in the newly installed 50 jet 6 person Hot Tub under the gazebo out doors. Most furnishings in the house are new. There's a gas fireplace inside and a large fire pit and area outside for those night campfires and star gazing. There's also a charcoal grill for your use. Enjoy sitting on the deck taking in the sun and sounds of wildlife and canoeing on the river. A canoe is provided. (there are 2 adult one child life vest provided) A private graveled path leads through the yard to the river where you can fish, swim, tube or just relax and take in the scenery. Wildlife abounds in the area. Many deer and turkey frequent the area as well as all kinds of songbirds. You may even get to see the eagles that nest nearby! Our famous Luray Caverns is just 10 minutes away as is its golf course. Locally there are shopping centers which contain a Walmart, Food Lion and a Smart Shopper for your grocery needs. There are many antique stores and shops in town to browse through. Only 13.7 miles from the property is our wonderful Shenandoah National Park where you can enjoy a leisurely drive across the park stopping along the overlooks and looking upon our beautiful Shenandoah Valley! You can see the Skyline Drive from the property in fact. Hiking, picnicking, trail rides and beautiful views and activities for adults and children alike. This riverfront cabin with all its amenities and charm will be sure to fit your needs for getting away from it all and de stressing. Remember, we are in the road to the cabin is gravel and there are insects out and about in the warm months..In the winter months we do get snow and ice so keep that in mind if booking during the winter months . We do allow pets for an extra fee of $20.00 per/pet per day, so do remember that in booking. There is no smoking allowed inside the cabin, but is allowed on deck and on the property. An ashtray is provided on the deck. We love our cabin on the river and hope you will enjoy it as much as we have. We look forward to you being our guests. Our cabins are cleaned and sanitized between guests by housekeepers with 30 years experience .

Weekend Getaway

The cabin was nice and the location was good. Not a lot of pots and pans to do cooking. The hut tub was nice as well but the top did not fit properly and was very heavy to open and close. Overall it was a good experience.

Renter

The only things I’d be critical of are-comfort of living room furniture and ease of access to hot tub. But that is a bit of nitpicking. Overall it was nice and the location was good for us.

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

Stayed the weekend with 3 other adult family members just to visit each other for a quiet weekend. This was perfect. It was quiet and relaxing in the beautiful mountains of VA. We found things to do like walk thru Luray and shop, went for a wine tasting, and has a fantastic breakfast buffet at Circa '31. Home had everything we needed and the hot tub was a nice bonus.

Wouldn’t stay again

The house is okay overall but there were several issues. There is a massive wasp nest under the house and owners simply said to keep doors closed. They provide 2 rolls of toilet paper, 1 roll paper towel, and only 1 bathroom had hand soap. House water turned brown on our last 2 days. Beds and couches are uncomfortable and there are no extra linens. Upstairs faucet handles come off. Hot tub is limited to 100. Essentially, it is an investment property with minimal consideration for guests. We stayed at 6 different rentals on our roadtrip and this was definitely the worst.

Wonderful week!

We enjoyed our stay at “Shuck.” Everything was as advertised. River was perfect for wading, floating, and fishing. Kitchen was fairly well stocked. Our biggest disappointment was the hot tub. It had an extremely high level of chemicals in that we were unable to use it due to the strong fumes. We even tried removing the cover for an hour or so before we were going to get in but that didn’t help, either. That being said, we would still recommend this rental and will likely rent again.

Nice house in a great location

The house was as described, and a good size. It was great to have access to the river and a sizable yard. The location was quiet but not too far from Luray caverns and skyline drive. The kids enjoyed playing in the river and finding crayfish. There was not any charcoal for the grill so we had to go out and buy that, perhaps that could be added to the description (byoc).

Great place...Peaceful

Got away alone. Was quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Mostly great things to say about it. Only negatives would be the upstairs bedroom loft mattress is VERY hard so I slept downstairs which was awesome. Some dead bugs in the rooms but you're in the country so was expected. Would definitely stay again. Appreciate your hospitality!!!

Why they chose this property

This property is private yet close to town.No one is directly behind, to the left or front of cabin. River is on the right with direct walk out access.

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is our special spot at the river. Just a walk through the yard takes you directly to the Shenandoah river where you can swim, fish, tube, canoe, kayak, while enjoying wildlife and the views. We now have a Hot Tub outside! Take in the peaceful relaxation and mountain views all while still being close to our quaint town.
