Barney's Retreat- Rustic cabin on the river - now with Starlink!

River Retreat

The river location is gorgeous. We loved sitting out by the river, enjoying the view and sound of the water over the rocks. The house is rustic but has the essential items you need. We used the charcoal grill and enjoyed our evening meals on the screened in porch. The porch was great after dark when the mosquitos came out! This property is pretty remote so bringing your food and drink with you is advisable. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials including spices and paper products. Very relaxing weekend and we would stay again.

Adorable and relaxing

We had a fantastic stay! The beautiful back yard and a perfect screened in porch! It was just so peaceful and beautiful! Unfortunately a severe storm came through and knocked out the power. We slept through the night and held out for 24 hours but I have a health condition that worsens with extreme heat and cold and we had to leave early. It wasn’t their fault and was not expecting any refund as it wasn’t under their control. But she came back quickly and said she was going to. Nancy the manager was so kind! She helped me out with the fishing spots and we’re looking forward to renting another of those cabins next year and we can’t wait! Lastly, you really don’t need anything but your own food and essentials. The cabin was very well stocked with coffee for the keurig, seasonings, paper products and dishes also any baking pan, pot or pan you could need. Just book it….

Excellent stay

Everything as advertised plus all the little essentials you forget to pack like vegetable oil,salt and pepper. Enclosed patio was amazing and we had a great time

Cozy Winter Retreat

Barney's Retreat was great! Although it was winter and cold for our visit, we did get one sunny warmer day and we enjoyed sitting next to the river for a bit and listening to the river go by. The water is so clear! And the views up and down the river were very nice. We also loved the fireplace and hot tub for our winter stay :-) The cabin was very comfortable for me and my husband as well as my mom and dad. We had space to hang out, play some board games, cook dinners, and enjoy each other's company. There is no phone signal for verizon, but the wifi was good enough for us to connect to the internet for any online needs. Barney's Retreat is also close to Luray and we had a fun day exploring a few places around Luray as well! Do recommend!
