The space
Situated in a cozy bend on the south fork of the Shenandoah River, 2 hours from Washington, DC and Richmond and 40 mins from Harrisonburg, this gorgeous and comfortable chalet-style house is surrounded by woods with 400 feet of private riverfront. Outdoors, you can enjoy the spacious wraparound deck with dining table and plenty of seating or swing in the hammocks. Bring charcoal for the grill or settle around the firepit and take in the fresh air, all overlooking the river and trees. Cast your fishing line for smallmouth bass, carp, catfish, or sunfish. Wade, swim, float, tube, kayak, or canoe to enjoy the river. There’s plenty of space to spread out and enjoy all that nature has to offer.

There are 2 primary bedrooms featuring king beds with attached private ensuite bathrooms with overhead heaters and walk-in showers. There are also 2 secondary bedrooms -- one with bunk beds and an additional twin bed, the other with two twin beds -- that share a nearby hall bathroom. The oversized dining room table was locally handcrafted using walnut salvaged from the property and is large enough to fit your whole group! The well-equipped, open kitchen features rustic wood cabinets, quartz countertops, full-size appliances, and an extra large sink. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’ll need for your visit. Brand-new kitchen gadgets include a large and tiny crock-pot, 2 griddles, 2 waffle makers, coffee maker, 2 muffin trays, cutting boards, pots, pans, knives, outdoor plastic cups/plates and bowls, kid-friendly cups/plates/bowls and utensils, wine and beer glasses, and so much more. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on the main floor.

An easy-to-use fireplace in the living room provides ambience and warmth in the winter months. Relax in the two-story spacious living/dining room, which has a comfy, couch and massive windows that let in lots of natural light and provide a gorgeous view of the river.

If you're looking for a little more space to spread out, there is a loft with toys, puzzles, a second TV (great for kids’ playtime!) and a view overlooking the living/dining room and the river. Don't worry about the summer heat as the upstairs has its own personal A/C (and heating) system.

River access is just out front. There’s a slight slope on the left side of the yard for easy walking access to the riverbank and stairs on the right side of the yard. From the riverbank there are a few rock steps to ease yourself into the water.

Basement finished in 2024 and offers a comfy area of ~300 sq ft with ping-pong, foosball and another TV with HDMI cable. Note: The remaining area of the basement and walk-out door is not available for guest use.

Beautiful house, quiet location

My family and I really enjoyed our weekend stay at Misty Run! The house was clean and equipped with all the comforts of home. Our two boys loved playing ping pong and foosball in the basement and kayaking on the river. We had looked forward to making a fire in the firepit but we got an evening storm. No matter, we enjoyed the indoors comfortably with games from the loft. We were hoping for a nice quiet place to stay and struck gold with Misty Run! Off the beaten path but still an easy drive to Harrisonburg or Shenendoah National Park. We hope this home is available the next time we make a trip to the mountains!

Gorgeous Riverfront Location

We had a great stay at this beautiful property. It is a bit of a drive from the park (30+ minutes) and pretty much anywhere, but it was worth it to us to be on the river. We loved taking the kayaks out on the clear water, and watching, bald eagles, heron, osprey, and more. The house had games, puzzles, books, and lots of kitchen gear. The layout worked well for our family with the in-laws along, although the bunk bed was very noisy. I would recommend bringing your own washcloths, tissues, and perhaps an extra dish towel.

Beautiful cabin

This home was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun vacation. The kids and adults loved wading, floating and kayaking in the river and making s’mores around the fire pit. The house is spacious, open and light. Note: there is still no wifi at this home; our crew didn’t mind too much, but future renters may want to download content to their devices in advance.

Nice!! But......

But.... one towel available per person, no extras. No washcloths. No wifi and comment in listing about 2021 is unclear. I had to reach out to them the night before to get details. AT&T has no reception. Beautiful property and teenagers had fun!!

Unbeatable!

This property is outstanding. I've been renting vacation homes on the Shenandoah river in this area for 10 years and none compare. The home was beautiful and immaculately clean. The location on the river has no neighbors in sight and the best part is a direct, unobstructed view of the river from the inside of the home. We spotted bald eagles every day. While it's certainly more pricey than other homes, it's well worth it.

A little piece of heaven at Misty Run

Perfection! It exceeded our expectations and would recommend this home and location a hundred times over. Every detail was thought through, tastefully decorated with beautiful finishes, a fully loaded kitchen for the chefs in our family. It truly made it such an enjoyable weekend with our college senior daughter and my dear in-laws. Plenty of spaces to retreat to and all while taking in the breathtaking views of the Shenandoah River...again a little piece of heaven! Thank you for the amazing memories and we look forward to hopefully going back!
