Beautiful property! Fantastic fishing!
Our family really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable visit and Marc was a great host. This stretch of the Shenandoah is loaded with smallmouth bass for those looking to catch some fish.

Nestled at River Nest
Inviting and clean property, overlooking a tranquil area of Shenandoah River. Perfect for a girl’s weekend getaway with privacy, relaxation, and enjoyment of nature. Appreciate the complementary river tubes, that 1-mile float was lovely and just the right amount of time taking us 1-hour. I’m sure this place is just as delightful with the fall colors change.
