The Maury River House is NOT your basic short term rental. Not only is she a 154 year old home that has been COMPLETELY renovated but she is intentionally set up to evoke a luxurious and contemporary yet cozy and timeless vibe for her guests. The spacious kitchen is equipped with top of the line appliances, stainless steel pots and pans and connects to an expansive Great room so every cook feels pampered and included in the action. The Great Room, which measures 1200 square feet in size, includes the kitchen, dining room space for 14 persons, a living room area with two leather couches, a gas fireplace, a 65 inch flat screen TV, and connects to a large deck with seating for 14 persons. Surrounded by river and mountain views, the house is furnished throughout with high quality antiques and modern technology which happily brings the best of both worlds to your vacation.

The interior of the home incorporates many original features including the river rock chimney in the kitchen, the original floorboards on the wall of the living room, the oak staircase, the attic floorboards on the Great room shelving, trimming and kitchen island and the exposed ceiling trusses in the upstairs bedrooms. The exterior of the home features one of the historic hand built rock bridges that used to extend across the Maury River and gives this part of the Shenandoah Valley its namesake - Rockbridge County. Everything we have done to this beloved home and property has been to provide contemporary comfort while also preserving her former aesthetic and charm. Between the extensive amount of amenities provided In the home, the river access with kayaks and a canoe and the picturesque location, it is our sincerest hope that our guests have everything they need to have an exceptional stay full of happy memories.

*For all guests intending on enjoying the river, we highly recommend that you bring water shoes as some of the rocks can be slippery. If you do not own any, there are some provided at the house.

**My husband and I personally clean, maintain and manage this 154 year old home and property. Not only do we place a high standard on cleanliness and sanitization, but the stewardship of this space and the intention that our guests have a 5 star experience is very personal to us. We mean it when we say we are happy you are here and if there is anything we can do to enhance your stay, please let us know.

The house is located next to a small country church and cemetery (see the last picture in photo gallery for an aerial view).

Come enjoy the soothing sounds of the river and take in some fresh mountain air; rest, revitalize, ground and gratify... this or something better! :)
