200 Acre Shenandoah River Retreat Stunning Views Kayaks 1-Mile River | House in Toms Brook
3 Bedroom House in Fishers Hill, Toms Brook
Welcome to the Farmhouse at the 200-Acre Shenandoah River Retreat.
Wake up to wide valley views, mountain ridges glowing in the morning light, and a peaceful mile of river to explore. This 200-acre Shenandoah retreat is perfect for families, nature lovers, and anyone who wants quiet moments, easy adventures, and unforgettable days by the water.
Located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, the property offers scenic mountain views and easy access to outdoor recreation throughout the region. Charming small towns like Woodstock and Strasburg are just 10 minutes away, offering restaurants, cafés, local shops, and everyday conveniences.
This retreat includes two separate homes on the same 200-acre property — the Farmhouse and the Springhouse Cottage. The farmhouse can be rented on its own for families and groups, or together with the cottage for larger gatherings. While the homes are located near each other, mature trees and vines create a sense of space within the larger landscape, and guests enjoy shared access to the riverfront, pavilion, trails, and open land.
As part of a working Shenandoah Valley farm, guests are welcome to wander the open fields, enjoy the riverfront, pavilion, and trails, and explore the 200-acre property during their stay. Because this is a working farm and the riverfront amenities are shared with the nearby Springhouse Cottage, you may occasionally see owners, farm staff, or other guests on the property.

WELCOME TO YOUR SHENANDOAH VALLEY ESCAPE
Step outside the farmhouse and take in the expanse of valley fields stretching toward the surrounding mountain ridges. The outdoor deck overlooks the broad meadow and mountain range, making it a peaceful place for morning coffee, birdwatching, or quiet sunset dinners overlooking the valley and mountains. Morning light filters across the grass, the river glimmers through the trees, and the valley begins its peaceful, daily rhythm.
In the evenings, follow the soft glow down to the firepit near the river, where the mountains fade into dusky blues. Settle into an Adirondack chair as stars appear over the meadows — bright, clear, and endless. With minimal light pollution and expansive skies overhead, evenings are perfect for stargazing from the deck, firepit, or open fields.
This is a place where kids chase fireflies, couples stroll by the river at sunset, fishermen wade into the clear shallows in search of smallmouth bass, and families reconnect in the quiet beauty of the Shenandoah.

RIVERSIDE PAVILION & OUTDOOR SPACES
Follow the grassy path to the riverside pavilion, tucked beneath tall sycamores along a calm bend of the North Fork.
Here, you can:
• Relax in hammocks as the river drifts by
• Share meals under the covered pavilion
• Wade into clear, shallow water
• Launch included kayaks and tubes directly from the shoreline
• Gather around the riverside firepit at sunset (firewood provided)
• Fish for smallmouth bass, sunfish & fallfish
• Watch sunset colors reflect across the water
In the evenings, the firepit near the river becomes a gathering place — the warmth of the flames, the scent of the forest, and the sound of the water create a truly unforgettable atmosphere.
200 ACRES TO EXPLORE
From open fields to forest edges, the property offers endless space to wander and play.
From the large rock near the farmhouse, walk directly into George Washington National Forest, where trails weave through trees and open to expansive views.
Wildlife is abundant, and guests often spot:
• Deer in the early morning light
• Bald eagles circling above the river
• Osprey diving for fish
• Great blue herons gliding low across the water
• Ducks paddling through the quiet bends
• Wild turkeys crossing the fields
• Songbirds filling the valley with sound
You may also see our two friendly cows who roam the pastures — gentle fixtures of the land who add to the property’s peaceful, pastoral charm. And if you're lucky, you may even spot river otters frolicking in the gentle eddies — a magical sight when it happens.
It’s a landscape that invites adventure, discovery, and quiet appreciation.
