Tucked away, full vacation home located on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. 15 mins from National park, 10 mins from Massanutten, 20 mins from JMU. Part of a 70 acre, historic farm est. 1780’s. Private river access, with boat landing, and 1/2 mile of bank fishing and wadable water. Walking trails through hay and wild flower fields and along riverbank. Family and pet friendly, with spacious backyard, and large firepit. Fully furnished. Hosts live on the farm, and can assist any time.This property is a unique house because it is part of a larger farm that guests have full access too. This house sits on 2 acres of a 72 acre property that dates back to the 1780’s. The main house on the property is listed on the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. Guests will have access to all of our mowed walking paths, wild flower patches, traditional gardens around main house and river walking paths. Another unique feature of this listing is its access and to 1/2 a mile of privately owned riverbank, and its own secluded river access and picnic location.The South Fork of the Shenandoah river is one of the streams listed in the book “50 places to flyfish before you die”. The Shenandoah is famous for itssmallmouth fishing but it also has a variety of different warmwater species including several species of sunfish, rockbass, catfish, carp, largemouth bassand even muskies.One of the major challenges of wading the upper river is gaining access to wadable water as the river flows mainly through private land. The majority of public access points are at state owned boat landings and arelocated in deeper pools where wading often isn’t an option.Our property offers access to over half a mile of private access shoreline that under normal water levels is one of the best wadable sections of water in the upper river. Once you’re in the river, it opens the door to well over another 1⁄2 mile of very wadable water.If you’re a kayaker , the Island Ford boat ramp is three miles upstream of us and the Elkton landing is four miles downstream. Both of these floats make for a great 1⁄2 day float. For anglers looking for a guided trip, we workclosely with Mossy Creek Fly Fishing, located in Harrisonburg, Va. Not only are they the top flyfishing guide service in Virginia for trout, smallmouth and muskies but they also welcome spin anglers on our river floats. All equipment and tackle are included along with drinks and lunch.
