Great family vacation!!!

I can’t say enough good things about this vacation home!!! This was our second time staying at this house and both experiences have been great! The house is always super clean and is stocked with everything you will need. We loved the dock, fishing was great from it and it is so convenient being so close to the boat launch. The owners were great to deal with and so helpful. I would definitely recommend this house!!!!!!

Beautiful, peaceful location!

Lovely views of the river & birds. Peace and quiet. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It is an old house but it is well cared for and we definitely enjoyed the three seasons room. There was everything we needed to cook our meals. I fell in love with the sweet donkey and we enjoyed walking the nearby trails.

River Stay

Private stay with a lake house and a dock to fish off all yourself. The resident was feeding the horses and a donkey in the nearby stable and helped my daughter pet them, which was a highlight of her trip.

Perfect quaint country getaway

The property was perfect for a weekend get away, we ended up spending more time in the city than we thought but it was the perfect place to come back to and crash at the end of the day. Everything was clean and the beds were incredibly comfy! Everything was decorated beautifully and with local touches that were perfect. I highly recommend this home and the hosts!

We love it here-return visitors!

My family and I absolutely love it here. We love the peace and tranquility of this beautiful property, the environment is tranquil country living near the river. The amazing hosts/owners are just truly exceptional and deliver excellent customer service. This lovely country home is the perfect escape for my family. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles traffic that we endure back at home. If I could move in permanently, I would. Thank you Janet & Rob for such wonderful hospitality. 5 Stars Plus Plus Plus!! : )

Amazing, Beautiful and Perfect!

My family and I had the most amazing stay here for two weeks!! From the very start, we were treated like family and wish I could leave a 10 Star Review because it is absolutely 100% well deserved! The owners Janet & Rob are the most wonderful and gracious hosts. This property is a slice of heaven, the location is ideal with direct access to the river, it is so peaceful and tranquil with amazing views of the James River right from your living room window, kitchen window and sun room. The private dock is a fisherman's dream-my husband and kids were in heaven catching blue catfish, crabs and a variety of other fish. The hosts provided us with plenty of kayak's, life jackets, fishing poles, and went out of their way to deliver us exceptional hospitality. We will be coming back to stay during our son's college breaks and can't wait to stay again in this amazing cottage on the river. Also, we love coffee and appreciated the Keurig coffee maker as well as the overall cleanliness-it was top notch all the way around. Thank you so much Janet & Rob for everything! : )

Doesn’t get much better than this!

I’ve been using VRBO and HomeAway for over a decade, for both work and leisure. I’ve probably stayed at over twenty properties and none have been as clean, peaceful and well-stocked as this one. The location, although it was over an hour away from my work, was absolutely perfect! This is the type of place where I felt no need to even lock the doors when I left for the day. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and more. The owner really has thought of everything! And I mean everything. This is a first for me. I usually have to go to the store for something; maybe a sponge or big boiling pot. But not here. This house is stocked as if the owners live there themselves. And speaking of owners, you won’t find any better than these. They went far above and beyond for me. They treated me as if I were family. This place and these owners are a rare jewel and I consider myself fortunate to have been allowed to experience the little slice of heaven that is their property. This is the total package. Great place, wonderful folks, a donkey named Bubba, and catfish to be caught right off their dock. Thanks again Rob and Janet. I hope to see you again soon!

Awesome Cottage

We had an amazing stay at this relaxing cottage right on the James River. The location couldn’t have been better—peaceful, private, and just steps from the water. The dock was absolutely perfect for kicking back with a drink or casting a line. We caught all kinds of fish and spent hours just enjoying the view. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind by the water!

Amazing Stay

The property is set on a picturesque landscape with views of the James River from windows and the sunroom. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom relaxing and visiting Bubba the donkey. The house had all the things we needed for a perfect stay. We were in town for a soccer tournament and being able to relax in our downtime was perfect! We had no reason to contact the owners but when we did to let them know we were arriving and departing they were quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay!!

Fabulous time. Rob was a fantastic host. Spent time with us teaching me and my kids how to fish, helped me when my boat broke, brought down gas for my boat, made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The list could go on. Could not recommend him or this location enough. We will be back!!!

Nice quiet place

After a long family road trip from Western New York to Florida and back, this was a nice place to come to on our way home. It felt very much like back home for us. The property has a beautiful view of the James river. I wish we had more time to explore the area, but we visited family in Richmond and enjoyed the history of the city. It was a great place, plenty to do, and a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the river.

Perfect in Every Way

Our visit was absolutely perfect! From the cleanliness of the house to the incredible attention to detail inside and outside, this property is a gem. The owners care about the property and the region, and it shows everywhere you look. Perhaps, the greatest thing about this property is that it is not new construction. This house has history and charm that can only be found in older homes that are well-loved. The property is close to the Upper Shirley Vineyard and Richmond’s incredible restaurants. While we missed Janet on our visit, Rob was a super host, and we look forward to visiting again for the beautiful views and incredible hospitality.

Quiet riverside retreat not far from Richmond

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. Our only regret is that we spent most of our days at a busy conference and couldn’t spend more time relaxing here. But mornings and evenings by the river were incredibly peaceful. The horse and donkey were so sweet, and it’s also a great spot for birdwatching. Despite being remote, it’s still very accessible to downtown Richmond. Definitely recommended for a quiet getaway.
