The views are nice and the river is relaxing. The furnishings are a bit worn and uncomfortable.

Beautiful secluded stay
My partner and I came to stay at the Zen River Retreat for a few nights after our wedding as a little mini-moon. We wanted a quiet place in the area, and were both drawn to this secluded wooded cabin with a creek. What a nice retreat to relax and spend time with each other after such a busy time. The cabin was clean and all instructions were clear. I have AT&T and had a bit of phone service (mostly outside). This was the perfect distance from the sunrise hike we wanted to do - Bearfence Rock Scramble. And we discovered the best local artist shop in Stanardsville - Noon Whistle Pottery (a must-visit while in the area).
