Stover House, also known as Fort Stover, is a historic home located near Luray, Page County, Virginia. It is dated to the late-18th century, and is a two-story, three-bay, rubble stone structure with a traditional Flurkuchenhaus plan. It has a basement that projects its full height above grade on the river side. Located off the basement is a vaulted room. It is considered among the best preserved and least altered of the important group of 18th-century log and stone German houses of the Massanutten Settlement.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
