Relaxing Weekend Getaway
We had a great time spending a long holiday weekend here. It was relaxing and peaceful and perfect for what we needed. However I would say the place needs some work and the owner should put some money back into it. The directv barely works and the internet is non existent but we made due without it. Cosmetically it needs some love. If it got some love we’d probably visit frequently however next time we’ll probably look for a more put together place. Location is fantastic so if you’re cool with rustic and rough around the edges then you’ll love it.

Great "low key" getaway - awesome location
We had a glorious stay in March. It was cold, but we drove through Shenandoah National Park (glorious), accomplished a marvelous hike, visited the town of Luray and saw Luray Caverns (my husband for the first time). We would definitely recommend this visit for family time that doesn't involve organized activities. It is a quiet, peaceful visit with lots of interesting interactions with nature. Enjoy the Shenandoah Valley Mountains!

Amazing, pet-friendly cabin getaway
Just got back from an amazing weekend at Bear Valley Cabin. Right on the Shenandoah River, this cabin has everything you need for a get-away-from-it-all style retreat. We loved the canoes, easy access to the river for fishing, the fire pit for s'mores, the hot tub (even in the chilly weather)---this cabin has it all. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a respite from their day-to-day life. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Very Relaxing Stay by the River
Loved our stay at Bear Valley Cabin by the Shenandoah River. Extra credit for firewood to go with the awesome fire pit next to the river--we really enjoyed relaxing and listening to the rapids downstream. Also--based on what I saw in the photos and read under amenities, I did not see a dishwasher mentioned..it was a wonderful surprise to have a dishwasher as I was prepared to have to wash dishes...and we cooked almost all of our meals at the cabin. We really enjoyed the quiet cabin by the river!!!!

A River Runs Through It
Just what the doctor ordered during hectic home renovations! We had a great time here with our 2 retrievers watching them swim in the river, sitting around the campfire at night, hiking during the day and relaxing in the hot tub… simple pleasures are the best! The Shenandoah river ran through all our cares at home, helping us release them and return home rejuvenated 😊🏞️🐾

Much needed getaway
Fiance, my dogs and I needed this well deserved trip. Needed to get away from what's going on in the world and we did not want to leave. Great access to the river, dogs loved it, very comfy space and worth it. My only concern was the lighting underneath when letting our dogs out at night was a bit sketch but other then that stay was wonderful!

Beautiful Thanksgiving Retreat!
Great location for our family to celebrate Thanksgiving with our furry friends! Comfortable & cozy cabin. Hot tub was awesome -- very warm & clean. Gorgeous water view. Loved having the convenient gas grill on the deck, and much appreciated the gate on the deck as well. (Random, but... HUGE & inclusive movie selection with TVs!) Gravel road for the last bit of access to the cabin, and about 20 minutes away from groceries/downtown Luray. Similarly convenient access to Thornton Gap entry for Shenandoah.

Nice outdoor space, got the job done
Cabin was nice, had a blast on the river bank in the mornings and evenings. Enjoyed the fireplace. We had some bugs inside but figured they come with the cabin. Neither the master bedroom nor living room DVD players were working but since it was so nice outside we didn’t feel like we were missing out.

Relaxing!
We were having a 40th anniversary get away and this place was perfect for relaxing! The property is beautiful and being able to sit on the bank of the clear river was so relaxing. Husband enjoyed catching fish, we had a soak in the hot tub, and enjoyed sitting around the fire pit. We used the tubes and canoes that were there and that was awesome. We had a bit of trouble at check-in with having no internet (no cell signal either) and had to drive up the road to get a signal to speak with the property manager. They were able to get the internet back online within an hour or two while we enjoyed the river. We had a lovely dinner in Luray at the Watch and Warrant Restaurant. Mostly, though, just relaxed!

Stink Bug/Extra Person Charge
When we got to the house it great. We walked in and there were stink bugs everywhere. The listing stated that the property slept 6 people…we had 5…I got charged $180 for an “extra person charge” When I brought it up..I was told that the fee is charged when there are more than 2 people. Why say it sleeps 6 if you are going to charge extra? $180 at that!!! I had no choice..last minute booking for a funeral.

Bear Valley July 2023
Bear Valley Cabin has great riverfront access, we used one of the canoes on our visit. The fire pit and seating is a great hangout space as is the lower level deck with a place to store all of your River and fishing gear with a washer and dryer so you don’t need to pack a lot. The upper level deck has a nice picnic table and grill, also a hot tub which we chose not to use, it is quite dated and jets are barely functional. The kitchen is very well equipped and has a dishwasher and electric cooktop. The bathroom shower has good water pressure and there is no odor to the water. The beds are comfortable enough and the living room furniture isn’t bad at all except the recliner is a little tough to operate, we did not utilize the sleeper sofa. The space is perfect for 4 adults.

Peaceful cabin 10 minutes from Luray
My girlfriend and I stayed here for the long Valentine's Day weekend and we absolutely loved the experience. While this is technically through an agency rather than owner we had plenty of contact with real versus automated messages. This is a perfect place for either a couple or a family of 4 to get away, but more than that and it may feel a bit cramped. Everything was clean, and the hot tub was already hot when we got there late at night to relax after a drive through the mountains. There is plenty of wood to have large fires down by the river, but be careful as after heavy rains the property can be a little muddy near the pit. The cabin is a stone's throw from Luray, and about 45 minutes to Shenandoah National Park, plus plenty of caverns and wineries nearby. I'd highly suggest this place for a short getaway, and I'd love to head back.

Beautiful views, hot tub not so great
This cabin was clean cute. The views amazing! The hot tub was really old and only one setting worked. The tub was rusty and in daylight very uninviting. The water smells bad coming out of the facet, so bring lots of water bottles. They did have a water filter jug in the refrigerator so that was nice for making coffee. There is a lingering musty smell but the air conditioning worked and helped with that. If the owners updated the Hot tub, mattresses and water purifier, this place would be perfect. Such a gem waiting to be polished!

PERFECT place to unwind and recharge!
This entire area is absolutely beautiful! We arrived just as the leaves started to change colors and the views were breathtaking! Our 2 bedroom Bear Valley cabin was so cute and perfect for the 4 of us! We were right along the Shenandoah River, which was crystal clear, with a huge fire pit stocked with PLENTY of wood and a hot tub! The first day we were there we made sure to get up early enough to see the beautiful sun rise over the mountains! Followed by an incredible tour of the Luray Caverns! A MUST SEE ((but get there early! they get busy fast)). After that it was off to Skyline Driver, another MUST SEE, where we stopped and gazed at the mountains, and even took a quick 30 minute hike to the Hawksbill Summit! The climb was steep but I promise it was worth every single step once you are at the top! AND it's pet friendly!! I took my 2yo dog with us and other than the caverns, he traveled with us everywhere! Day 2 was spent on the canoes the cabin we rented kindly provided ((would recommend making sure your cabins offers them)). We fished, we laughed, took in the gorgeous view nature has to offer and watched fish swim all around us in the clear water!!! Our stay was short, but WE WILL BE BACK! We are already planning a family vacation to this area and honestly I cannot wait to go back!!!
