No worries, have fun in the game room, featuring a pool table and ping pong table.

-Please note: YOU CANNOT SEE THE RIVER FROM THE HOUSE. Due to the flood plain in the area, all houses along this side of the river are built back from the river's edge. There is a large yard in between the house and the river and you cannot see the water from where the house is. We leave the canoes down by the river's edge so that you don't have to carry them back and forth.

Some other things to note about Bear Bluff:

-The base rate includes 4 guests. Each additional guest is $30 per night. Please read the itemized charges carefully!

-Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 am. Early check-in or late check-out may be available, ask us!

-Dogs are welcome! There is a limit of 2, with a pet fee of $65 per dog. Unfortunately, we can't accept cats. Sorry about that!

-There is no trash service in this area. We ask that you please take your trash with you- there is information in the cabin on where to go to take it so that you don't have to take it all the way home with you! Alternatively, housekeeping can remove it for you for a tip of $5 per bag.

First time with VRBO
I think it was great to dip our toe in the water. This was way better than staying at a hotel. However, there were somethings, now that I know what to look for, that will inform me next time I VRBO. Specifically, proximity to amenities, activities and the condition of the house. All in all a positive experience and good value for money. Especially the service support.

Beautiful spot in the River
This is house nestled right into the Shenandoah Valley was so cozy and beautiful. Our dogs loved the run down to the water , a perfect spot for all us to stretch our legs and kick off vacation with some relaxation. The fire pit outback was just right for enjoying the spring evenings and the porch was the perfect place for morning coffee and catching glimpses of the deer roaming through the yards .

Over all... Good Stay
The outside of the house could use some TLC. When we pulled up, I was a little worried. Once inside, it's a whole other story. The home is comfortable, clean, and I LOVED the different decor (Classic Hollywood stars pictures), some bear themes and a little mix here and there. The couches are so comfortable, you actually fall asleep.... We had no cell reception (we have 5G with Verizon) BUT, the wi-fi worked and there is a house phone if needed. This is in a "country" subdivision so be aware that you have neighbors. There are trees lined on each side of the house, however, they did not provide a whole lot of privacy. We steered clear of the hot tub because it is on the front porch and the neighbors on that side are a bit close. Overall, if you aren't looking for seclusion and quiet, this is a great spot. We did enjoy our stay,

Weekend getaway
This place was exactly what we wanted/needed for a peaceful weekend getaway. The property was well equipped and clean. There was so much to do just inside the house it was hard to get bored. Loved walking to the river and sitting by the fire pit in the backyard. The hot tub was a huge hit. Location was great, secluded but not too far from stores. Would definitely book again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
We had a wonderful long weekend away at Bear Bluff. The house had something for everyone. My mom enjoyed reading on the screened in porch and my kids loved canoeing on the river. The area is simply amazing, we hiked and saw some beautiful waterfalls and drove along Skyline Drive. On the last night we ended our stay with gathered around the fire pit! It was really a wonderful experience.
