Family-friendly vacation rentals in Rappahannock County

Our stay was private and cozy. Loved the hot tub. No spiders inside, unlike the last place I stayed at.

Great spot for our family of six. Plenty of space for the kids and dogs to roam. After hiking the hot tub was a big hit. Easy access to SNP and caverns. River access lot was great for fishing but there was an experience with a neighbor. Be mindful of the white posts that are near the sign on the river lot for fox creek lodge. The posts don’t go all the way to the water but those posts denote separate property although there is no sign saying so. When my son was fishing three feet inside that on the rocks in the water, the very vocal neighbor came down to the road and threatened to call the cops on us and yelled pretty aggressively as he continued to walk towards us. It seemed like a strange escalation on his part when we immediately got my son on the other side of the post as soon as he yelled that it was private property. Just a note of caution, as we didn’t go down to the river after that because the guy left us feeling a little unsettled. No fault on this Airbnb at all.

We had a really nice time at the cabin. Everything was laid out very nicely and was ready for us the moment we arrived. The space is beautiful and right on the lake. It was extremely peaceful to sit in the large screened deck and hang out with the stunning lake in view. Hope to stay here again some day!

This stay was amazing! What an absolutely scenic and serene location with views of and access to Shenandoah National Park. This was the perfect place for the misty weather and lower temps! It really is as described. We will certainly consider coming back if we are ever in the area again!

The only part of the stay that didn't get 5 stars was that it wasn't quite as secluded as I'd hoped for. There are a number of homes on the road to the cabin, and a thin line of trees breaks the view. Admittedly unless you're looking for the other houses you don't notice them, so I got past that quickly enough. That said, the cabin was perfect, clean, cozy and everything worked as stated. Having grown up in the country, but living in a city now, I felt the stress melt away as soon as I stepped into the massive yard where my son and I spent a lot of time playing soccer and other sports. My son and wife really enjoyed the hot tub. The location is 15 minutes away from Luray which meant that the stars were amazing for the brief break in the clouds we got, but that it was close enough to get groceries and take out as needed. Plus it's about 20 minutes away from Front Royal so there are places to go and enjoy like Skyline or Luray Caverns. Jackie was a great and responsive host!

Great stay! We were in town for a wedding at Morais Vineyards and it was a perfect spot for our old high school group to be able to all stay together for the festivities!!

I have now stayed at 3 of Derek's properties and all experiences have been fantastic! I think I loved this Walden cabin the most, though! The view, the gorgeous property, the well-kept and comfortable home - it's all amazing. I don't think I'll stay anywhere else when I want to visit the Blue Ridge from now on!

This was our first time using Airbnb and it was a great experience. It was a little weird as I unlocked the door and walked in the first time. Soft lights and a screensaver on the tv, felt like I was walking into someone’s house. The views from the cabin were amazing - even in the rain and fog. Returning from town one day we discovered the power was out. Brian had sent a few messages keeping us informed. The wood stove kept us cozy. The hot tub was relaxing at sunset and at 6:30 in the morning. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The road was rough and got worse with 2 nights of heavy rain, but someone was taking care of it as best they could. The rain had the waterfall running fast and furious. I have added pics of an early morning and a sunset from the deck as screensavers to my phone to remind me of this beautiful place.

This was the perfect spot for our nature loving family! So peaceful and plenty of room for everyone. We kept a fire going in the beautiful fireplace and they provided us with plenty of wood. Close to Old Rag and spent an afternoon in Sperryville. We saw deer, hawks and Bald Eagles Would definitely recommend if you need a quiet private setting!

We throughly enjoyed our stay in the Barn Loft. Andrea and Steve are gracious hosts. Prior to our arrival, we received information to prepare for our stay. We received timely communication on the date of our arrival. The property is even better than the pictures display. We truly felt welcome and at home. The furnishings are cozy and the beds are so comfortable. Our family enjoyed meeting the hosts, exploring the property, and the opportunity to rest and to relax in such a beautiful scenic area. We appreciated the fact that our dog could accompany us on this trip. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We look forward to returning.

The views and peace are unmatched. Enjoyed the paved path to walk dinner off too! Very clean, great jacuzzi tub inside and hot tub outside. Very close to SNP. Full kitchen was nice. Deer entertained us every morning . Loved it all.

What an absolutely beautiful place. We loved waking up to a beautiful sunset and peaceful strolls around the property. All the communication and recommendations were wonderful and we wish we could have stayed longer.

David’s home is the perfect space for getting away in the mountains. It is a short drive (~25 min) to Shenandoah National Park. The house itself is very cozy and well decorated. It had everything we needed and then some. Would love to come back!!

great place for quiet vacation very private and beautiful surroundings. will definitely go back !

Peter and Helen were just wonderful from start to finish. They made sure the cabin (which is so lovely, very homey and rustic) was ready for us complete with a book of things to do and intros to the area and their farm. There was a slight issue with another renter on the property, but Peter and Helen had it resolved in less than an hour (even though it was quite early in the morning). Within 15 mins of Sperryville and 40 mins of Shenandoah National Park, absolutely perfect.

The Sun Dancer Lodge has the most wonderful views! Not hard to find, yet so quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room and Darden was a responsive and helpful host! We'll look to come back next year!

It was wonderful! Very peaceful and private - we loved the hot tub, all the cooking freedom and supplies, the long but beautiful drive up to the home, and the quaint town of Stanardsville. Although it was a little chilly during our stay, the pool was ready right when they said it would be and was very nice too. Having farm products readily available to buy was wonderful! My wife and I greatly enjoyed the ribs, and the 5lb chicken we bought made us 4 meals! We loved this place and the hosts were wonderful!

Cute little place on a stunningly beautiful property! Our host was always responsive. We'd love to come back!

Great host, gorgeous views, and a quaint old home with history. Queen bed was very comfy and ac worked great! Host greeted us, answered any questions we had, provided local recommendations for our anniversary, and had even more amenities than we expected upon arrival. Would definitely come back if in the area again! My dogs loved the farm.

We LOVED our stay here. The airstream had everything we needed and was comfortable. Beautiful deck to spend time on. The property with beautiful trails was so lovely. It was like having a national park to ourselves. And having animals to see was an extra touch. Communication with the host was very good. We hope to stay again!

Thank you so much for the great stay! We enjoyed the area and were able to relax at your place.

Lovey the greenhouse at Cair Parvel farm is a wonderful peaceful beautiful place to rest and enjoy the beautiful farm and nature trails we have returned time and time again . The place is clean and well decorated with a king size comfortable bed and they sell farm products which are a must buy. Thanks so much for sharing your peace of paradise with us. We appreciate you and your family and the hospitality

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! Close enough to all the hikes we wanted to do. Pet friendly (huge for us) and beautiful views! Please make sure you read the whole listing, as you definitely need a vehicle with 4 wheel drive to get up the driveway. We brought our own towels, sheets, and so on as stated and everything else we needed was available. Would recommend bringing dish towels. We had forgotten them this trip. Cooking pots and pans are little outdated but they’re just fine! We had a wonderful taco night anniversary dinner at the cabin and throughly enjoyed a nice soak in the hot tub. There’s a very nice above ground pool also but it was too cold this time of year to swim in. I would definitely stay again!

Maud was absolutely amazing ! I would recommend this to absolutely everybody! Such a beautiful environment. Both the actual Airbnb and the view of the mountains. I loved the Jacuzzi and the ambience of the place. We were able to Visit some of the local restaurants. And Maud made a lovely breakfast in the morning for us. She was so nice I Will definitely be returning.
