The Space:
Our modern, beautifully-designed tiny cabin has all the comforts of home, just nestled away in the Shenandoah mountains. River Side (also known as Turkey Run) is packed with amenities and fun for couples or a special personal retreat – and is the perfect home base for your getaway!
The cabin includes:
- High-quality pullout queen sofa bed (it’s very comfortable and large)
- Fully-stocked kitchen with fridge, microwave, and two-burner hot plate
- Central heat and AC to keep you comfortable, no matter the weather
Outside, you’ll also find:
- A large hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring
- Outside fire pit with seating for the whole gang
- Kayak and canoe (and paddles) – available on the property for you to enjoy
But the best part about the cabin is its location: River Side boasts views of the Shenandoah River from the deck, and is within walking distance to public river access (about 300 feet from the property). When it’s warm, it’s perfect for swimming, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking. There’s also great fishing (we’ve caught bass and channel catfish). And at night, we love dozing off listening to the sound of the river rushing by. If you would like to access the river from your cabin, the public access is located at the bottom of Carvell Road. From your parking spot at the cabin, walk to the property entrance and 300 feet down Carvell road to get to the public river access.
Note: River Side is part of a large private retreat, with three other cabins on the property – Two other tiny cabins about 50 feet from River Side, and another larger cabin about 150 feet away. You will likely see guests at the other cabins, and they may also be enjoying the river (and kayaks/canoes/tubes) during your stay. That said, the property is very large – so you should easily be able to find a quiet spot on the river to call your own. And of course you’ll have your own personal hot tub, and fire pit.
(By the way, the other two tiny cabins sleep 2 people each and the lodge sleeps 5 people – so if you’re looking to book a stay with a larger group, please contact us. Between River Side and the other three cabins, we can accommodate up to 11 people on the entire property.)
Lastly, beyond the cabin itself, we love how close we are to downtown Luray and the famous Luray Caverns – both just a 10-minute drive away. Beyond the caverns (which we recommend you definitely check out), the town has fantastic breweries, restaurants, and shops for you to enjoy! And of course, you’re also just minutes from Shenandoah National Park – with amazing hiking trails and views!
