Vacation rentals with a kayak in Shenandoah River

This home was perfect for our family weekend two adults, two teens and a tween. The house was spotless and very nicely decorated. Matt provided very thoughtful amenities including a welcome basket. The Tiki bar was very cool And fire pit area and peer were pie favorite hangout spot Would definitely come again!!!

Some girlfriends and I needed a quick getaway, but what was only a two-night trip, felt like a weeklong vacation thanks to Jen’s place. We had a group of five and we literally did not leave the house all weekend. Before checking in, I made a quick stop for some last-minute items at the local market, which was three minutes from the house. We staggered the use of the kayaks and were pleasantly surprised by all the wildlife around the island…bald eagles, great blue herons, swans, even otters in the meandering marsh area! Between the games and books provided, the kayaks and water access, the hot tub and spacious bedrooms, each of us got a perfect dose of adventure, relaxation and respite from our daily lives. Not to mention, Jen, who was extremely responsive and helpful. Never have I ever had such a dedicated host. We’ve already agreed to book this house again next year. The location, the house and the host are what make this Airbnb special and we can’t wait to come back!

Our family of 2 adults and 5 kids had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving week. Watching the sunrises and sunsets on the lake was so peaceful and our kids loved playing outside! Private and beautiful scenery, especially with the late fall colors. We had everything we needed to cook and everyone slept great. Kids said they wished we had spent less time sightseeing and more time at the house so they could play in the backyard!

Our stay at Knot on Call was fantastic. The house was immaculate and so family-friendly. Our hosts were thoughtful and very communicative. The lake was beautiful and peaceful. Our kids didn't want to leave! We will surely be back.

Peaceful Lakeside Retreat – Perfect for a Quiet Getaway: We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lakefront house. The view from the balcony overlooking the lake was incredibly peaceful and the perfect spot to relax. The home was spotless, quiet, and felt very cozy. The kitchen looked recently renovated and had everything we needed to cook and enjoy our time there. We didn’t need to contact the host during our stay because the check-in and check-out process was super smooth and everything was clearly laid out. The property also includes a fire pit and canoes—which we didn’t get to use this time, but definitely will on our next visit! The house is about a 20-minute drive from restaurants and grocery stores, but with a car, it was no problem at all. If you're looking for a quiet, cozy, peaceful, and scenic getaway, this is the perfect place. Highly recommend!

Came here for my 30th birthday with some friends and it was the most amazing time! There’s so much to do at this house! We went kayaking, hung out in the hot tub, played lawn games, made smores with the fire pit, grilled and used the zip line. The interior was also very fun! It was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. Brooke was extremely communicative and accommodating. I would love to come back in the future!

This was the perfect spot for our friend group to get away for the weekend. There’s tonnes of sleeping spaces, and the common areas easily fit our group of 9 adults for meals, movies, and games.

We had a fantastic family vacation at Matt’s house. The space is beautiful — there are amazing views from every window and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the home. The kitchen was well stocked and we had fun cooking elaborate meals. There were so many fun activities at the house — from the hot tub to shuffleboard — but there are also lots of great outings within easy driving distance. Matt was an incredibly responsive host who quickly answered any question we had. This was one of our best Airbnb experiences ever and we can’t wait to return!

It was an amazing weekend in this home. The kitchen, bathroom and linen closet were well stocked and we didn’t run out of anything. The house is right on the water and provided hours of free entertainment. The house contained cable, plenty of DVDs/Bluray movies, board games, and sitting space. Wisp is seconds away by car and minutes by walking. Host was responsive and understanding, even after I lost the house keys.

Our family had the best stay at Amy’s place! It was clean, well stocked and the beds were super comfortable! The fire pit out back was so nice to relax after a day of exploring and wine tasting. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a great time at Nate’s Airbnb. The beach access was awesome. Waking up to the bird song was one of my favorites

Julie's place was great. We used it for a corporate retreat. Would love to go back!

What a fun long-weekend. We enjoyed the kayaks and we literally spent the whole weekend in the lake. We didn’t even mind that the water was cold, being early spring. The house is really clean and beds are comfortable. The kitchen has the basic necessities and we didn’t have any problem cooking all meals there. We will definitely be back.

I'd highly recommend this place. Relaxing and secluded. The ladder to the loft could be tricky for guests with mobility restrictions, but overall an incredibly relaxing stay.

Just like the pictures, this lakeside cottage is lovely. Great setting and views. Very nicely decorated and very well equipped. Susan was an outstanding host.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The cottage is completely remodeled and provides a great space for a small family to interact and enjoy the lake. We had a mix of cooking on the Blackstone/kitchen and eating at some of the local restaurants on the lake. Christine and her husband were very friendly and accommodating. We had a wonderful week on the lake. We used paddleboards and rented boats and wave runners from the local marinas. Smores by the fire pit were a bonus!

We booked last minute and this place was very peaceful and the host was quick to respond. Would visit here again based on our experience and the surrounding beauty.

Very comfortable, peaceful gem. Chris was very responsive and even reached out proactively about an additional AC unit given warmer temps to be sure we were comfortable. We used the grill, fire pit and totally enjoyed the trail. Having coffee on the deck each morning was idyllic!!

Great Cabin for a weekend getaway. Cozy, great lawn with fire pit, good beds etc. - everything you’ll expect from it is there and the photos tell you exactly what it will be. Wardensville is a cozy little town and the hiking optiona in the area were plenty and beautiful. .

What an unforgettable getaway! This charming cabin is perfectly situated right on the river, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. We were thrilled to find kayaks and a canoe available for our use, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings. The fire pit area was a delightful spot to gather in the evenings, and having both gas and charcoal grills made cooking meals a pleasure. We spent our days fishing and relaxing in the hot tub, which was a wonderful way to unwind after our adventures. The cabin's kitchen was impressively equipped with all the utensils and appliances we could possibly need. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The cozy fireplace added a warm ambiance to our evenings, creating the perfect setting to reflect on our day filled with activities. This place truly is a hidden gem! Book now!

Mark was truly a super host. The preparation work he did in terms of getting you there, operation of equipment, expectations was phenomenal. He was very responsive when we had an issue. And the EV car charger was a huge addition. Would definitely book from Mark again!

Stayed here for half of spring break. Place was clean and had a lot of great amenities. There were a few things that were a little confusing when we checked in but the host responded very quickly and all things were completely resolved. Close to Luray Caverns, workable for some beautiful hikes in Shenandoah, and right on the river. We really enjoyed our time. Would recommend to anyone planning to stay in the area.

We have enjoyed the “Lighthouse Cove” on our wedding anniversary with our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids for several years. It has always been a great experience and the grandkids (ages six. seven, and 21 months) absolutely love being there. The property is very well kept. I just simply can’t say enough to describe this beautiful house and its location. I’m a chef so I can’t speak to the local restaurants other than there are many choices. Being a chef, you will find almost everything you will need to prepare your meals on site…..and I love that!! Ms Deb and me highly recommend the “Lighthouse Cove” and hope to return for many years! Clyde and Debbie McDaniel

Sean's place was beautiful and close to Berkley Springs but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. highly recommend this to anyone wanting a get away .
