Discover the splendor of our beautiful property boasting a 7-acre lake, expansive river frontage, and miles of winding hiking trails. Immerse yourself in nature's wonders, with abundant wildlife and flourishing gardens to explore. Conveniently located mere minutes from breweries, vineyards, and world-class restaurants, our property offers the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility. Enjoy breathtaking mountain views and easy access to Shenandoah National Park, just ten miles away. Nestled within nature's embrace, our retreat is a mere 90-minute drive from Washington, DC, and only 75 minutes from Charlottesville. Experience the best of both worlds as you escape the city and embrace the serenity of the countryside.Campers with tents or pop ups and four or all wheel drive are best suited for the site in our beautiful field next to the river. In that same pasture is a shed with overhang in case of inclimate weather, electricity and water spigot. Guests with larger rigs will want to park near the house with views of the lake. There is a road with a hill down to the river that would give larger rigs a challenge. Best to park safely and hike all around the property, fish, etc. All campers will have access to miles of trails, use of boats and fishing. Guests can also use our fire pit near the house overlooking lake and mountains. Loud music discouraged on property, it disturbs the wildlife. Cell service works best for Sprint, T Mobile and Verizon customers.

Perfect place by stream and get away from everything and not have cell phone distractions. Nice big level area mowed and ready to go. Great place to stay. Clearance and 4 wheel drive definitely recommended.

We had a wonderful weekend at this campsite! The site was tucked away on a beautiful and secluded property by the river. The river was absolutely lovely to have- our entire group enjoyed wading around (particularly our toddlers). We appreciated having a table to use for meals and a nice fire pit- with a nice meadow steps away for our tents, etc. The best part was we were close to so many wonderful hikes and activities & could easily zip back to our campsite and feel like we were worlds away. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful escape that is still connected and proximate to other activities. Most surprising is that there weren't even many mosquitos which we imagined could be an issue in late Summer being by the water. A true dream! :) We will definitely be back!

Beaver Cove was fantastic! Lynda provided clear instructions on how to get to the camping area (4x4 is needed as the trail can be rather steep at places) along with making sure the location was both clean and well kept. The trail opens up to a gorgeous glade with a creek right next to it along with a fire pit and picnic table. The open area (where we camped) had neatly cut grass that provided plenty of space, along with hiking trails that were well looked after in addition. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a peaceful and secluded spot to camp under a forest canopy with running water nearby. We had a great time!
