Cabin vacation rentals in James River

Nothing short of greatness. Amazing stay

We had a fantastic week! Just what we all needed to relax and reset. Hope to visit again!

The cabin was really nice with comfortable accommodations and everything you need. There is a road that runs in front of and behind the cabin that has quite a bit of traffic on the weekend as the road is an entrance to a park/campground and it was a holiday weekend. This was a benefit to us though as we love to hike and could walk to or drive within a couple of minutes to several really great trails! Having the heated in ground pool for my daughter was amazing and when we had some issues with Bees the owners handled it right away. This is definitely a cabin in the woods by the water so come prepared with bug repellant. We did venture out to some local wineries and a lavender farm/winery but would have been just as content to enjoy the cabin and the property! Overall we really enjoyed this place and would totally go back when we are visiting the Harrisonburg area.

such a charming little place to stay on our way back down from massachussets. we stated for 2 days to rest before heading back down to Georgia. We left feeling refreshed. The house was so cozy and private. The hot tub was an amazing addition to wrap up our vacation. We especially loved how comfortable the pillows and bed was in the master, and the fact that there was black out curtains throughout the house so we didn't have to wake up early to the brightness. Our 3 year old absolutely loved the rock river too!!

Had an amazing long weekend! The cabin was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The views have to be the BEST in the area- especially from the hot tub. Great location to Luray and skyline drive. The house and hot tub were very clean. Ray and his family have clearly put a lot of thought into this home as we had everything we needed. We used the grill and it also worked great- nice grilling supplies available as well. Ray was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed and really wanted to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. We will definitely be back! Anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with amazing views can’t go wrong with Rays place.

I would highly recommend this property for a peaceful getaway weekend! The cabin itself is bright and beautiful and the host was incredibly responsive. Stargazing in the hot tub was absolutely the highlight!

Great communication from booking and awesome space to get away.

This was my second time staying at Cuddly Cub. I had a fantastic three days/nights. It is a beautiful cabin surrounded by woods with lots of deer and rabbits. Just fantastic. I highly recommend staying here. Max

So peaceful and beautiful! Great for a long weekend of decompression. Lovely places with everything we needed. Will definitely stay again. Highly recommend. Very clean.

Perfect spot for a cozy trip in the mountains! We stayed dry and warm during an especially rainy/snowy weekend. The space was very clean with a well equipped kitchen. We were even surprised with a bouquet of roses for Valentine's Day and a collection of toys for our pup.

Had a great stay with our dogs. We loved the privacy with no neighbors in sight. There were lots of bees so it was a bit hard to enjoy sitting out on the deck but otherwise was great! Nice to be able to walk into Shenandoah right from the house.

The view from the porch is absolutely beautiful. We loved the covered porch so very much easy access to the highway. I would stay again and hope to.

We've stayed here multiple times, and each time and season has been enjoyable in its own way. Sitting riverside around the fire ring into evening is wonderful. There's so much to do outside that it's easy to forget how lovely a space the cabin is...you're right in the middle of a town but elevated so it's possible to have privacy to hang out on the porch and read or watch the geese and ducks float by. It's been years now, and this cabin is still our favorite getaway spot.

The hosts went above and beyond throughout our stay! Postcard cabins ays attention to all the details and makes for a fun and easy stay. We loved how close it was to the national park and even enjoyed walking on the nature trail at the cabin property.

What a beautiful place! Definitely a cool experience to stay in an authentic piece of history- with the necessary climate control and some modern comforts. The farm was peaceful, immaculately kept and just a lovely spot on this earth.

If you want a rustic log cabin, this is as good as it gets. The place was awesome. Fireplaces were great. Great beds. Comfortable couches. If you’re looking for seclusion, this probably isn’t the space, but we knew that going into the stay!

I can't say enough about how perfect this place was! I was so happily shocked by how clean it was, especially to be surrounded by sand! there was absolutely no smell, no dirt or dust. and the location? I had my two kids with me and they were able to walk to the little beach, to the turtle pond (highlight of my five-year-old's life!), and the dock, all with me being able to see them. I loved my morning coffee on the beach, or the screened in porch on the rainy morning. lots of places a short drive away, if you feel the urge to wander. truly a wonderful place, with friendly hosts. we are already planning our next visit!

Great spot! Hope very much to return. Pros: very nicely appointed cabin. Not luxury but pretty close! Has all the things you need to make an enjoyable stay. Incredibly good access to hiking, both on foot straight from cabin and by taking a short drive. We really enjoyed the bonfire pit and the supply of firewood. We went in the winter and it was nice to get a bit of snow. Would probably be gorgeous bird watching and such in the summer. Really nice to be surrounded by nothing but trees. Felt like we had a whole mountain to ourselves. Cons: I am noise sensitive, and I did find the main cabin to be pretty close quarters. So if you’re like me or are seeking privacy or quiet amongst a loud group of folks, maybe something to think about. Also not the easiest kitchen to make a big meal (no dishwasher, small drying rack) but we definitely made it work for 5 people. Also to note — we had a couple 2WD cars that made it up the hill to the cabin, but we brought them back down hill for snow

We loved our stay at this cabin! It offered total privacy, making it feel like our own little hideaway in nature. The surroundings were stunning—peaceful woods, fresh air, and gorgeous views all around. Inside, the cabin was cozy and thoughtfully furnished for comfort. We enjoyed walking down to see the waterfall on the lower field. The a/c was refreshing for what turned out to be a summer-like Easter. A perfect escape for a long weekend!

Had an excellent stay at this lovely cabin. It was a little hard to find it at first but once we did we were so happy with the cleanliness and the welcome gift. Would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our peaceful stay at the yurt. The views were beautiful. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of wood was provided for the fire pit. Douglas was promptly responsive if I had a question. We really enjoyed our stay and would like to come back again.

Pieter and Jenna's place was ideal for us after a day of hiking. Peaceful, quiet and close to the AT. Price was very reasonable in comparison to others and it was not a hotel. We just needed an overnight quiet place to sleep, make dinner and breakfast and back on the trail and then back home. Our goal was not to hang out, but it might have been nice to use or bring a Solo Stove Fire Pit. Their place was VERY clean, looked new, easy check in and check out. Not a big fridge or microwave but worked just fine for our needs. There is no door between the bathroom/laundry room and the bedroom, just small swinging saloon doors. Which is fine, as long as you understand that you don't have the kind of privacy you may be used to at home. All-in-all, it was a nice place to stay and would come back again.

It was our first stay at this lovely cabin, we are definitely going to come back and stay longer in future. Great location, 7 min of driving from the nearest scenic overlook. We are impressed with details in the cabin, everything is made for comfortable staying! Thanks 😊

We want to thank Mark so much for being an incredible host—our stay couldn’t have been more perfect! It was the ideal getaway to celebrate my son’s upcoming birthday. The property was peaceful, beautiful, and packed with things to do. Mark truly goes above and beyond to upgrade the experience and make guests feel completely at home. Our first stay was on March 7th, and this second visit somehow managed to be even better. Mark takes feedback seriously and quickly makes thoughtful improvements based on suggestions. He also provided excellent recommendations for local places to visit, which made our trip even more special. He’s always friendly, responsive, and clearly dedicated to creating a five-star experience. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the amazing locations he hosts. By far the best Airbnb experience we’ve had—highly, highly recommend!
