Property Description
Leave the complexities of modern life at home and enjoy the simplicity that our off the grid Rivergreen Cottage has to offer. Rivergreen is the perfect getaway for those who like camping, but wish for a more luxurious, comfortable place to stay.
Come and experience the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains!
This cabin is located 10 minutes from Massanutten Resort and 20 minutes to the Swift Run entrance of Shenandoah National Park.
It is necessary to have front wheel drive or 4x4 in the winter to reach the cottage. The road to this cabin is not paved and is stone and dirt. Driving slow to reach the cottage is highly recommended. When there is snow on the ground, a 4x4 is necessary to reach the cottage. If you have a very low sitting vehicle, you may have issues getting to the cabin.
If you have mobility issues, renting this property would not be recommended.
Please note, this property is located on a working farm. While the cabin itself if fence in, you are likely to wake up to cattle outside, along with Duke the Donkey. The cattle will not try to approach you or your vehicle. Duke does like to eat out of your hand-after he gets over his shyness!
Additionally, this property is located in a town steeped in railroad history. Occasionally, you will hear trains. Please be sure to check out the train museum in the town of Shenandoah-just a short drive away.
As mentioned, this cottage is solar powered, with a back-up generator. This system is fully automated and requires no interaction from our guests. From time to time, especially when it's dark outside, the generator will turn on to recharge the batteries.
The cottage is small and cozy, perfect for a party of 2. The cabin will accommodate up to 4 guests, but can be very cozy.
Sleeping accommodations consist of a Queen Bed and a full sized futon.
Kitchen: Rivergreen has a small cooktop, mini-fridge, sink, coffee pot, cookware, dishware, soap and kitchen linens.
Living/Sleeping Space: Queen bed, and a full futon. Pillows and sheets are provided.
Bathroom: The bathroom has a stand up shower, sink and composting toilet. This is a water-less system. Please follow posted instructions. It is very important to note that a composting system is not like a "traditional" toilet with running water. Instructions are posted in the bathroom.
PLEASE NOTE! Due to the small size of this cottage, steam from the shower can trigger a false carbon monoxide alarm.
Additional Amenities: Gas grill, AC, wall heater, covered porch and private fire pit.

Awesome Stay!
The little cabin was perfect for our needs! Very cozy with everything that you need. Really enjoyed walking around the property down to the river and sitting on the porch.

Great escape from the daily grind
My mom gifted this VRBO to my wife and I as a Babymoon vacation. I was unsure at first, but this ended up being my favorite place to get away from the day to day stress. The place is very cozy and peaceful. Definitely a country setting, which we appreciated.

Shenandoah weekend adventure
My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this unique place! The house is on a beautiful property and was a short drive to both Shenandoah and Elkton and maybe about 15 minutes from the nearest park entrance. The place is pretty small but was perfect for my boyfriend and I since we were spending most of our time exploring the surrounding area.

Cozy and clean
This little cottage was very clean and cozy. It is far off the road but close to a lot. A great location for Skyline drive. Good eats nearby.
I would recommend an SUV, a sedan might bottom out on the road coming in.
I gave 4 stars overall because of the latrine.. It is a compost toilet and there is an odor. The flies were bad because of this.
Don’t plan to do a lot of cooking. Pots pans utensils were limited. We cooked steaks on the gri and our forks and knives bent trying to cut them.
We have bad backs and the bed was very hard. But you are secluded and right on the Shenandoah River. There is a nice area to sit near the water. We drove down because the path is rather treacherous.
The price was right and Scot was an attentive and gracious host.

This tiny, off the grid house is well appointed, the air conditioner worked great (although I only needed it the first night), and the bed was firm and super comfy. Read the directions carefully. If you think you are lost because you are driving through the middle of a cornfield, don’t worry. You’re not. Just keep going. This house is literally in the middle of a cow field and I loved waking up to them grazing just past the fence each morning.
Make sure you read the instructions for the composting toilet. It’s not hard. It’s just different than you may be used to.
I didn’t use the TV, microwave, or stove because i spent my days at JMU. Even though it’s about 30 minutes from the university, it’s an easy drive and there is a Starbucks just before you get on the highway.

Great weekend away
The property is in the Shenandoah valley with great views of the mountains. It's a nice solar-powered cabin with everything you need for a stay- grill, small fridge, 2 burner stove, microwave, and wifi. Plenty of chairs for outdoor seating. The owner was very communicative and helpful. I had no issues with the stay and highly recommend staying here for a hiking weekend or to get out of town and enjoy some quiet time. I look forward to staying here again!
