What's special
Active Airbnb - Riverfront living with mountain views—impeccably designed and decorated! This Grottoes retreat features gently sloped South River frontage and reflects the surrounding natural beauty.

The open kitchen includes granite countertops, one large island and oversized bar, stainless appliances, built-in wine racks, and a cozy beverage bar. Upstairs offers two bedrooms (one with en-suite), an office, and spa-like bathrooms. The walk-out basement includes more sleeping quarters, another en-suite with full bath, and large flexible living spaces. Outdoors, explore your 1.5-acre lot! Enjoy Class A trout fishing steps from your door—stocked 8 times a year. Kayak from your backyard to John Painter Park or Port Republic. See Blue Ridge Mountain sunrises from the front, river and farmland sunsets from the back patio. No HOA. Not in floodplain. A rare fully approved turn key short term rental in the town of grottoes. Ideal for high-income buyers seeking a peaceful riverside retreat with potential bonus depreciation benefits (consult CPA)
