Amazing! James is a fantastic host. He was quick to answer questions or to pop over to help if we needed anything. Top notch fellow. The property was perfect for our needs! Our teens loved staying in the game room....couldnt get them off the pool table!The river location is stunning and filled with local history. Located about half an hour from Williamsburg so quick enough (for me!) to get to "all the things" while also being able to "get away from it all" here. We hated to leave and hope to come back one day.Thank you James for sharing your place and hospitality with us! And the history fact you shared about John Smith was very appreciated. What a fun piece of history to live so close to.

Amazing sunsets

This place provided the peace and refreshment that we needed. Fishing fun on the dock (biggest fish caught was almost 8 pounds!), a great place to kayak, and endless indoor entertainment for the rainy days (pool, air hockey, video games, giant Jenga). Despite the rain, we had a great time. The sunsets were amazing! James Divine answered all my questions and was a delightful host.

Picture Perfect!

We loved this property! It was perfect for our family. While we spent much of our time in the Williamsburg area, we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet at the end of the day. I was a little unsure of staying on the same property as the owner and was afraid it would feel as if there were no privacy. I could not have been more wrong. James was available but not at all intrusive. We’re hoping to return in the future!

Great location & wonderful amenities! You can’t beat the beauty of the river’s view and the woods that surround the property. We stayed with our two young sons and they loved playing outside, the arcade games, and the dock. The only draw back for families is not having an internal staircase, but it wasn’t too much of a problem for us. This is definitely more for a rustic getaway rather than a luxurious stay. It worked very well for our family of boys.

A family get together

The property has sleeping areas, rather than private bedrooms. The kitchen is not fancy, but with good planning we fed our family group of 7 comfortably. The grill and firepit is a plus. Despite rainy weather we all had a good time at this unusually entertaining property. The property owner could not have been more friendly or helpful.

Wonderful river retreat!

We loved our stay. Rode our bikes from Richmond and it was a great place to relax. Beautiful views of the river and so peaceful. The host could not have been more accommodating, he was super nice! We took the boat taxi to Blue Heron restaurant both nights and it was lovely. We hope to return soon.

Ideal Riverside Getaway

We really can’t say enough good things about our experience. The property mgmt team set the stage for a great time from the outset with impeccable customer service and communication as we asked questions and got into booking. The process was painless and exceeded our expectations. Everything matched what we saw on VRBO when our family of five (two adults, two kids and a seven month old lab) arrived, with the exception of the sunsets, which photos just don’t do justice. We enjoyed the grounds, dock, river and all the amenities that the rental had to offer. We also cherished our time with the owner, James, and his two labs. We looked forward to our chats and enjoyed getting to know him and benefitting from his great recommendations. He honestly couldn’t have taken better care of our family. We highly suggest staying here if you’re looking for a little, quiet, rural slice of heaven to relax at that also has the benefit of being near so much rich American history,
