Waterfront holiday rentals in Shenandoah Valley

This is, without a doubt, my favorite Airbnb. Everything is exactly as advertised and, having to stay here twice, I could tell you that it’s one of the better experiences at any overnight accommodation. I highly recommend it and I would go back again and again.

Kendall was a great host. She took care of what I needed and was friendly and responsive. The house and location were great! Very private and perfect if you have a dog. We were very pleased. Thanks Kendall!

Thank you Amy for being so flexible and allowing us to book so late at night.

Loved our visit. So nice being on the lake, easy access to kayaks and fire pit right by the lake. Irene was very welcoming and let us do our thing and gave us a lot of space. The lake access was a huge selling point for the place. Would definitely return.

Overall great experience. Well stocked with essentials, even had a first aid kit that we needed bandaid!!! I appreciated the coffee being available as we forgot to check which type of coffee maker they had. The place was clean and easy to find and get in. While they talk about the noise from the coffee shop below, that wasn’t very bothersome. A minor detail we noticed a stain on one of the bedroom’s comforter.

Nice, clean place. Convenient location! Great if you want to fish or spend time on or near the river! Nice covered porch if it’s raining, great fire pit and chairs!

I had an outstanding stay at this Airbnb! This is my second stay and Diana’s home is exceptionally clean. It’s beautifully appointed with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Nestled in a peaceful natural setting near the river, it offered the perfect combination of seclusion and convenience. The large deck was a highlight—spacious, well-furnished, and equipped with grills, making it a great spot to unwind after a day of biking or exploring. The property is a short ride into town off the GAP bike path, which made it incredibly easy to get out and enjoy the surrounding scenery. Despite its quiet location, it’s just a short walk to a fantastic coffee shop (don’t miss the scones at the Tissue Farm !) and several excellent restaurants. This place truly offers the best of both worlds—tranquility and accessibility. I highly recommend it and would gladly return!

We had a lovely stay on the river in historic Occoquan. The apartment’s location made it easy to walk to dinner and stroll around town. The place was comfortable and clean. The self check-in was easy with the video instructions, and Isabella responded quickly to questions and requests. We appreciated having access to the designated parking area (parking on the street gets tighter on weekend evenings). We were grateful for the coffee, which we believe should be a standard part of all Airbnb experiences. Other than the WiFi being a little spotty, we found everything very well prepared for our stay.

I wish I could back 1000 times over. Everything was fully stocked beyond expectations. We had such a good time with the neighbors cats who came to visit us every day by the fire pit. We loved the quiet home it was everything we were looking for and more. Would recommend this to anyone going to the area. Lots of fun things to do near by the national park, caverns & apple house. Couldn’t beat this trip if I tried. I can’t thank the host enough for a great experience. We didn’t want to leave lol.

This is our second year here for Memorial Day weekend and it was just as great as the first! Hap and Jennie are communicative and responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed kayaking and boating on the river, hiking and relaxing on the porch and by the fire. The accommodations are comfortable and nice for our family (3 kids and 4 adults and a dog). The kitchen is the most well stocked air bnb I have ever seen! We cannot wait to return

We loved our short stay at Mason’s place!! We needed a peaceful getaway to just relax and it’s exactly what we needed. The hot tub was amazing, and we hiked all around the property and campgrounds! Had so much fun connecting with nature and relaxing. Also loved how many amenities, spices, oils, pots and pans, etc in the kitchen!!

Our stay at The Black Horse Farm was excellent! Everything was just as described and even better than the photos! Very peaceful setting and private as well. I have been traveling to the area since the early 80s and this was our first stay with Darrel and Cindy, but it won’t be our last!

A nearly perfect stay - We had a wonderful stay at this cozy Airbnb tucked away in the woods near the Shenandoah River. The setting was peaceful and scenic—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home was impressively well-stocked with everything from cooking essentials to medical supplies and even female hygiene products, which was a thoughtful touch. We did run into a couple of technical issues with the HVAC not cooling and the ceiling fan not working. However, the hosts were incredibly responsive and sent someone out as soon as possible to address it, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a nearly perfect stay, and we’d happily return!

This home and hosts are both rare gems, from the ease of checking in to the homes beautiful ambiance, its makes a great place to get away and enjoy nature. We would love to come back and explore more of the trails and wineries.

Overall we had a wonderful time at Jennifer and Rodney’s place. It was exactly as described and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the time spent on the back porch and around the fire pit. Unfortunately the weather was not very cooperative and we were not able to get out and enjoy the trails as much as we would have liked. Also we were 1 week too early and most attractions in the area were not operating during the week days. I was concerned about getting a good sleep on the mattress but managed to sleep through each night. I would recommend that anyone wanting to cook something without it sticking to the well worn pans bring along their own as the ones in the kitchen are well past their prime. Thank you Jennifer and Rodney for providing this great getaway spot.

Very quiet area, you could hear the babbling brook ! House is very well stocked.

We loved our stay, had everything we needed. The home is newer and was clean, spacious and very nicely decorated. The view is simply lovely. We were in town for a wedding but plan on coming back and could not imagine staying anywhere else. Great coffee shops, restaurants, shops, parks, trails and even farmers market are walkable from Angel’s home.

Leslie was very responsive and very hospitable. It was a last minute trip and Leslie was able to accommodate. Even though the studio was small it had everything I needed for a quick get away. The area around the condo was beautifully maintained. It was close to the State Park which was nice because that was what brought me to the area. The people at the condos were very friendly. I would definitely stay again.

A very peaceful spot. The place was excellent. Very spacious and clean. Lots of fluffy towels and linens. Comfy beds. We arrived late and got confused with the two different locks in the dark, but management was very helpful and fast to respond, and we got in just fine. We looked in at the pool and gym one rainy day, but did not try them out. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat, this is it. Would stay again.

I have to be completely honest this is probably one of the nicest and most peaceful locations. I have stayed at in my many years of traveling in Airbnb. I definitely plan to come back just to enjoy the lake and amenities. Unfortunately, I was there more for business to attend my Liberty University Commencement and being at Lynchburg locations check up their price for graduation, I was forced to stay 50 minutes away. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise because I never had Huddleston, VA on my radar, and it’s an extremely beautiful drive and hidden gem! I’m looking forward to spending a few days in the future and Laura and Stephen were actually some of the nicest and kindest hosts I have ever met on AirBnB. They were both very responsive. I didn’t have to wait very long to get in touch with them and gave me some great information locally as well as assistance when I needed it. HIGHLY recommend. It’s cosy, like a large hotel room sized condo that has everything you need to unwind.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This place had everything we needed. It is very clean. The only thing we were wanting was an extra blanket. There is a throw there, but we enjoy more covers on a bed. All in all, it was wonderful. The instructions were very clear from the owners and the amenities are amazing. Everyone was very friendly that worked there. We will be visiting Mariners Landing again, hopefully soon!

We were very pleased with this condo and the hosts. The appliances, dishes, cookware, bedding, towels, decor, furniture and little balcony were all top notch. They even provided snacks, k-cups, and specialty teas for us. The s’more kit was a neat welcome too. There were even high end shampoo/conditioner/body wash provided for us. An added bonus was that the condo was on ground level ~no stairs~! This made access easy for our littles. It was perfect for our little family. We had an issue with the fob for the pool gate and they were quick to resolve the issue. We spent a lot of time out on the balcony. The chairs were super comfy and they even provided a candle that added to the ambience of being outside. This is the best Airbnb I have stayed at. The hosts get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. We will definitely book with them again in the future and highly recommend Jason and Sarah and their beautiful little condo.

This was a great place to stay for our first time visiting SML! Beautiful views and very comfortable. Only 10 min drive to the grocery store, which is good for this area.

This rental is in a resort area and is quite lovely. We enjoyed being on the main level and it was terrific to have the spacious bedrooms on the same floor as the 2 nice size bathrooms. In the mornings we drank coffee on the screened in porch and evenigs on the covered deck. Both places provide peaceful water settings. The kitchen was large and well equiped. Dining was comfortable and the living room beautiful. Ceiling fans are throughout. The 3 restaurants are a must! What a fabulous vacation, 2 thumbs up.
