About the 1947 Rock Tavern Retreat in Page County, Virginia
1947 Rock Tavern Retreat is back in our family and part of the Massanutten Springs tradition!
We're delighted to add the 1947 Rock Tavern Retreat, with deeded Shenandoah River access, to the Massanutten Springs family of vacation properties and look forward to sharing its awesome history with our guests! Abe Kibler and his wife, "Aunt Lizzie," owned, built and tended bar in the historic stone tavern, and in bygone years, created their own Rock Tavern tradition of hospitality. In past years, guests competed in shooting matches, where winners took home salt-cured hams or turkeys, or purchased any of the unique items offered for sale: hand-made marbles, a mink fur pelt brought in by an area trader, or an arrow head.
Today, guests of the 1947 Rock Tavern Retreat experience that same tradition, preserved in its walls: the initials "ATK" and "1947" (the year that the original Rock Tavern was built) are carved into the original, richly colored, hand-laid, natural Massanutten Mountain stone that features in the Retreat's interior decor. Framed articles and other decorative touches that evoke Rock Tavern's early history in Page County, Virginia add to the Retreat's "Tavern" atmosphere, as a Page County landmark-turned-vacation cabin-retreat returns to our family (and yours!) once again.

Guest Reviews:
"My friends and I stayed at the Rock Tavern Retreat during a weekend in November 2012 and had a wonderful time. The cabin is cozy, and Annette, the owner, has put in wonderful touches throughout. Everything was immaculately clean too. A big plus for our party of 6 were the two full bathrooms! The hot tub is great on cold evenings, and the property has a beautiful view of the river (and is close to everything Luray has to offer).
We would absolutely stay again. I can't say enough how terrific and accommodating Annette is too!"

"This was the perfect long weekend getaway. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. We were two couples and loved that the bedrooms were both equally accommodating and the property around the cabin was not only beautiful but also great for long or short walks with our dog. We love that Rock Travern is dog-friendly!
The house was absolutely immaculate when we arrived and fully stocked with cookware and all the necessaries. The owner Annette was very responsive to any questions we had and booking was a breeze. I would totally recommend booking Rock Tavern. Quick access to Luray is also a plus. We look forward to coming back in the warm weather to enjoy all that the area has to offer."
