"Lackawanna" (a Delaware Indian word meaning "meeting of the waters") was built in 1869 by Dorastus Cone who moved to Front Royal soon after the Civil War.  He along with his partners operated the famous water gristmill, known as Riverton Mills on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River.

This home is a pristine example of Italianate architecture popular during the late 1800s.  The interior doors, woodwork and stairway are native walnut and chestnut.

The rooms are spacious and elegant with eleven-foot ceilings.  This stately home incorporates the often referred to Double Parlors in the front, each containing fireplaces and full-length windows facing the south fork.

The house remains structurally as it was built in 1869, with no walls removed or woodwork painted.

The forty-foot front porch facing the Shenandoah is a much-enjoyed retreat of our guests at breakfast, afternoon tea or for an evening drink.

This lovely home faces the South Fork of the Shenandoah and is a three-minute walk to the river edge.

It took three years of restoration to bring this home into the twenty-first century while keeping the warm atmosphere of the late 1800s. We are delighted to be able to share the beauty of this home (now listed on the National Historic Register as part of the Riverton Historic District) and gardens with visitors to this area.

We look forward to our guests being able to enjoy the experience of staying in a stately nineteenth century home in such a lovely setting.  We also offer swimming, in season, in our inground pool
