February 2025

ROSES ARE RED; MONEY IS GREEN
WHAT MIGHT YOU DO WITH THE TIME IN BETWEEN?

Between Valentine’s Day and President’s Day, that is. This year, February 14th is on Friday; the holiday celebrating the Presidents who appear on our one and five dollar bills is on Monday the 17th.

Well, one thing you could do is enjoy a delightful weekend at River Dell! Many of the area attractions are open in the winter, and there is a stark beauty to the landscape this time of year. Just look at the pic of a winter sunrise over the Shenandoah! Perhaps you might see a few early signs of spring. In any case, the accommodations are cozy and the breakfasts are delicious! We can also arrange for some other specials, maybe flowers, chocolates – and even cooking lessons! Make your reservation before it’s taken, at riverdellbb.com.

HOUSE CONCERT ENCORE!

Cliff Eberhardt and Louise Mosrie Coombe will be returning to River Dell Bed & Breakfast for a house concert on Sunday, August 4th. We had a full house for their show five years ago, with folks coming from as far away as North Carolina to see them. It was worth it!

Cliff and Louise are veteran performers who tour nationally and internationally, as individuals and not infrequently together. The storytelling and songwriting is stellar, and their playing and singing is excellent. We met Cliff in 1998 when he played the Barge Canal Coffee House in Hamilton NY, where I discovered that we went to junior high together in suburban Philadelphia. Linda and I have seen him perform many times since. We met Louise, originally from Tennessee, when she was at River Dell last time. She is delightful! You can check out their websites at cliffeberhardt.net and louisemosrie.com. They are also on Facebook and Youtube.

We’re glad their touring schedule has worked out so that they can be here with us. Here are specifics: Sunday August 4th, 7:00 – 9:00 PM at River Dell B&B, 7572 South Page Valley Rd., Luray VA 22835. Suggested donation is $20.00, but give what you like! Included are a couple of photos from their concert here on March 17, 2019.

Please message me if you would like to attend. Hope to see you then!

We have reduced our nightly rate by $10.00, to cover most of a recent tax increase from 10.3 to 15.3%. This is being done as a protest of that increase, which is the result of our County Supervisors deciding to double the (county) lodging tax from 5 to 10%. There is also 5.3% state sales tax, which remains unchanged. This puts Page County near the top of county lodging tax rates in the state of Virginia.

We at River Dell strongly opposed this increase. We attended a public hearing at the County Supervisors meeting before the increase was issued, where it was clear that nearly all of the local short-term rental owners (cabins, B&Bs and others) opposed it. Somehow the Supervisors thought this would be good for business.

So we are reducing our rate to pay for the tax increase out of pocket, keeping our bottom line rental costs about the same. We hope that you will still consider River Dell as a place to stay when visiting our beautiful county.

We now have wisteria at River Dell! A few years after installing an arbor and several years after planting, it is in full bloom for the first time. April is flowering foliage month here in Luray, and now we have this to go with the forsythia, redbuds, magnolias and dogwoods, among others.
We love spring here and summer that follows. Come visit us anytime, starting now! You can enjoy the river, the Caverns, Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive, and all the history and beauty the area has to offer. Make your reservation at riverdellbb.com!
