It’s very small and cozy but still comfortable with good quality appliances and amenities, and the hot tub is wonderful! The hosts were very communicative and gracious, and the property is located on a lovely private stretch of river while still being close to town! They provided all of the firewood we needed, and the cabin was a very comfortable stay. We will definitely be coming back in the summer! ##### Camryn A.

The location couldn’t be better- it’s literally right on the river. The cabin is spacious enough yet still cozy. There’s plenty of spices/ cooking supplies if you need them. ##### Laura K.

Our stay at Barney's Retreat was nothing short of a PERFECT getaway. The owners have thought of everything their guests would need, including the "big bobber" cooler which got a bunch of use - LOL! We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay. This stretch of the river is perfect for wading in the water while fishing. We hope to return many more times. ##### TopWaterAction Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan S. Mar 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice long weekend getaway We came to stay for our anniversary and really loved everything. Clean and perfect size! Hot tub was clean. The power did go out once, but only for maybe 20 minutes. Good information was left in the guest info book. Only two things I would note is that the shower is very smell, and if you’re sensitive to scented detergent, I would bring your own bedding. It wasn’t all washed in something scented, but something was enough to notice. Check in/check out was super simple. We will definitely come back in the future :) ##### Jordan S.

We absolutely loved this little cabin! Just my husband and me for our anniversary trip. Definitely the most well stocked kitchen with cutlery, good pots and pans, etc. plus plenty of spices. Right on the river! Only 20 minutes from wal mart and grocery stores but really out there to get the secluded feel we were looking for. Right down the road from Shenandoah River Outfitters. We did the rafting on the river adventure. We hope to be back very soon! ##### Ali D.

May 25, 2024 #### Spring get away We booked last minute before our trip, looking for a quiet place to get away and relax for our anniversary. Barney’s didn’t disappoint. We booked an additional night! The river was right out our back door and the cabin had everything we needed. We stayed for 5 days and never turned the tv on with so much to do outdoors. We definitely plan on returning. ##### Vickie K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### grace b. Mar 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### peaceful retreat My family had an absolute blast during our visit, making treasured memories in the embrace of nature. The ambiance was serene and is ideal for unwinding. We love the river, cooking s'mores at the fire pit, & playing at the yard. Everything is provided at Barney's retreat. All you need to bring is food. The not-so-favorite of ours is the hot tub because it appears not so clean and the water is a bit cloudy. Overall, Barney's Retreat is a perfect retreat for rejuvinating the mind and soul. ##### grace b.

Do not let the small square footage scare you away! If you enjoy the outdoors then this place is perfect and was way more than we expected!!! We spent almost the entire trip on the river, back porch, by the fire pit, or hanging out in the yard playing games. There were way more convenient factors both inside and out than advertised which made the trip even more enjoyable. Hot tub on the porch was a huge plus too!! Now for the price there must be a downside and unfortunately that was the very small shower, no washing machine / dryer, or dishwasher…but that should NOT stop you from booking this place. We will absolutely book here again!! ##### David R. ### 8/10 Good #### Stephanie B. Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A weekend away We loved it… until we checked out the hot tub! It was unusable. Needed complete cleaning with a water change. I sent an email with pics to the property mgr and they offered to send someone over but we declined knowing the time needed to resolve the issue. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace as well as the fire pit outside. We’d like to go back in nicer weather and clean hot tub!! ##### Stephanie B.

Oct 7, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Views are fantastic Overall this place is nice because of the beautiful views. Pros: views, one level and easy access to river. Well equip kitchen. Cons: Only pile of wet wood under a tree, not any wood in wood shed. They did drop the firewood charge. There is a firewood charge. Could not use the jacuzzi during our stay as "stuff" in it. Management company did offer to have it drained but we were there only a few days and wanted the privacy. Definitely not looking as nice as the pics but if you want a nice private place to hang out this is it. Nothing to do with the owners but the overall fees and cleaning deposit etc., doubled the cost of our stay. ##### marie Q. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Matthew G. Oct 12, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Mostly Okay. I scheduled this trip for a short getaway with my spouse and parents. I sought out a property with a hot tub, that was along the Shenandoah River close enough to the Shenandoah NP, and was dog-friendly. The property was kind enough to allow us to have a second dog for an additional fee above their advertised 1 dog limit. Comms were smooth. The property was not super clean but manageable. I'll add, that I communicated with the property management team and they were attentive to addressing the concerns though were dismissive of the issues. The ceiling has dust and spiderwebs hanging throughout; overhead lights included. There was a wolf spider nest that spanned a couple of feet in the bathroom above the door. There was cookware and dishware that needed to be washed before use, the blender had a black grime on its button panel. The house water filter was in obvious need of replacement (My father and I are plumbers). I needed to clean the toilet when I arrived. The bathroom walls need cleaning as well. Our chief issue was the state of the hot tub. The water was cloudy to the point that you could not see the bottom of it and the interior of the cover had a green/brown algae/mold film on it. The property managers were amicable to our request for a refund of the cleaning fee and hot tub charge. Beyond the tub, spiders, and cleaning need, the property was fine and the location is great. I'd recommend the property and would stay again if the issues fielded were handled. ##### Matthew G. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire S. Sep 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great getaway at Barney’s Retreat. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the river and lucked out with fireworks every night. Having easy access to the river even allowed us to get our usually anti-water golden retriever to wade in and she realized she actually enjoys the water!Location is about 20 minutes from downtown Luray and we enjoyed getting to explore with that area had to offer.

Me and my wife booked this place and it was by far the best place we’ve stayed at. The place was super clean and well maintained ! I loved the fact they had board games and card games for us to enjoy while staying there plus other nice features ! Definitely will be booking in the future when we visit Shenandoah again with no hesitation ! ##### Jose R.

We really enjoyed our stay. Cute, quiet cabin with all the necessary amenities. The river view is perfect and so relaxing. We spent the majority of our stay just floating in the river watching the canoers and kayakers float bye. The cabin is about 20 min from the town with plenty of places to eat and find a drink. The hot tub was great addition to the evening. We visited the caverns on the way out of town, a must see! ##### Julia S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### t c.

Thank you for providing us with the ultimate peaceful getaway along the Shenandoah River. The cabin was perfect for our needs. It was fully stocked with kitchenware, towels and blankets. It even had a pantry with spices, cooking oils, coffee, tea and many many more condiments. It offered a selection of bathroom necessities as well that included soaps, and shampoos. The beds were very comfortable and the furniture was well kept and cozy. The screened in back patio was wonderful and included a hot tub for extra relaxation. The area was quiet and the river provided the perfect backdrop for fishing and water play. The location was close to town which had many great places to shop and explore! ##### Dale M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael D.
