Cliffside cabins are located on property that was first settled in the early 1800s by Thomas Griffin Allen from Winchester, VA. The parcel of land was a small section of a larger farm grant. In 1934, Thomas Allen’s great grandson Thomas Allen Mussaeus built Cozy Cabin on the 36-acre property. The cabin was originally built as a hunting and relaxation home. Years later in 1952, Thomas’ sister Esther Mussaeus McLarin built Riverview Cabin. This cabin served as a retreat for her family from New Jersey. The land for the last cabin, Cliffside Cabin, was sold to a local businessman from Bentonville who completed the construction of the cabin in late 1950.

Today, the owners of each of the cabins are descendants of the Allen family. Our family began renting Cliffside Cabin back in 1988 after purchasing it back from the Mathews family. Cozy Cabin was renovated in 2009 with rentals beginning the same year. A year later, Riverview Cabin was renovated and rentals began in the spring.

By sharing our property with the public through different rentals options, we have been able to continue to update the log cabins over the years to enhance the vacation experience without changing the enchantment of a real log cabin.

Located on a gated private gravel driveway, Cliffside Cabin is an authentic log cabin situated on a cliff overlooking the south fork of the Shenandoah River. Built in 1950, our cabin is located approximately 7 miles south of Front Royal, Virginia, also known as the “Canoe Capital of Virginia.” The cabin is three miles from the Shenandoah State Park and five miles from the northern entrance of the Skyline Drive of the Shenandoah National Park.

The breathtaking view of the river from the front porch is only enhanced by the beauty of the Massanutten Mountains in the distance. The Front Royal area is rich in history and offers many unique and varied year round recreational and leisure activities. Locally, the warmer weather invites canoeing, tubing, kayaking, hiking, horseback riding, fishing, and golf while the cooler temperatures yield opportunities for skiing, wine tasting, antiquing, and site-seeing.
