relaxing experience combining comfort and the beauty of the great outdoors. Whether you are
outdoorsy, a homebody, a solo traveler, or traveling with an extended family, we’ve got you covered.
Living room:
The cabin is thoughtfully decorated to encourage rest, rejuvenation, and relaxation. When you
step inside, you will be delighted by the rustic feel, yet rest assured knowing you have every
modern convenience. With 2 bedrooms and two full baths, there is plenty of space for everyone to
keep up with daily routines before enjoying the great outdoors, multiple trails, or fishing from
the bank/river. A flat-screen TV with streaming access/Wi-Fi hangs nearby to entertain you. The
open floor plan is designed to keep conversations flowing. Comfortable seating abounds, and in

rocking chair on the fully covered deck while you listen to the water and watch for local wildlife,
deer, wild turkeys, owls, and the occasional black bear!

kayak and glide down the river. (Tubes and fishing poles are available.) Or you may just want to sit by the firepit, relax and enjoy the view of the river.

The perfect Cabin!
“We recently stayed at Simple Pleasures at the River and had a fantastic experience! The cabin was very clean, cozy, and spacious, with every detail making it feel like a home away from home. The beautiful view of the river and the outdoor fire pit were perfect additions for evening relaxation and entertainment. We’ll definitely be back for our next visit!”

Nice
Very nice place we had everything we needed. The only thing I didn't like was how to get door open. I had a code to get in but they didn't tell me the key to get in wass behind the code box. Took us 4 try's to finally find the key to get in. That should have been told upfront

A Wonderful Week
We stayed a full week and we wish it could have been longer. A great location close to Skyline Drive and other things in Luray. Cabin was so clean it looked brand new, and the area was quiet. Saw a deer across the street. Will hopefully stay again sometime next year.

Great Cabin!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Simple Pleasures at the River Cabin! The owners were incredibly helpful and responsive, providing excellent tips on local attractions. We will definitely be returning in the future. Each morning and evening, we were delighted to spot deer around the cabin—on our first evening alone, we counted 93 deer while driving to an overlook Jan recommended! The river offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, and there are plenty of other activities nearby, including Skyline Drive and Luray Caverns. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Perfect getaway to Luray!
Simple Pleasures is the perfect cabin - on the river, short drive to town, well-stocked with both essentials and fun entertainment options (I mean, Ms. Pac-Man?! How great is that?!) Jan was an excellent host, checking to make sure we made it alright, ensuring that there were plenty of travel brochures and recommendations for eating and sightseeing in town, and she gave very clear directions on checking out (which was super easy). We highly recommend Simple Pleasures for a couple or small group for their stay in Luray!

Great spot. As advertised. Felt like we were the first people to stay at the cabin. A very short drive to the Shenandoah National Park trailheads where we spent most of our time. 10 out of 10, would reserve again.
