Welcome to Captain's Lodge, a remarkable riverfront retreat nestled along the rapids of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. Offering the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and investment potential, this fully furnished mountain getaway features 7 bedrooms and accommodations for up to 23 guests, making it ideal as a personal retreat, family compound, or income-producing short-term rental. A circular driveway welcomes you to the property, where a charming front porch, multiple side decks, and a riverside patio swing provide endless opportunities to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the river below. The property includes its own private access road and a scenic walkway leading directly to the riverbank. The main level features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with a spacious great room, family room, and dining area centered around a wood-burning and a second gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere year-round. Expansive windows and outdoor living spaces showcase breathtaking views of the river, surrounding forest, and abundant wildlife. An oversized garage provides ample parking, storage, and workshop space. The lower level offers four additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large recreation area perfect for entertaining.
