Shenandoah River · Luray, Virginia
The Bend is a luxury riverside retreat taking shape on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River.
Two crafted river-front cabins are rising on the banks of this historic river. Follow the build, help shape the details, and get first access before public booking opens.
Now in site work. Foundations next. Vertical construction begins after final certifications and site readiness.

A Rare Riverfront Perspective
The river is the whole point.
Set on a sweeping bend of the Shenandoah, the estate faces the water from an unusual angle. Wake to sunrise looking downriver, or watch sunset settle upriver across the valley, the light moving across The Bend through the day. Every important room, porch, and window is turned toward it.
