    We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect for what we needed and I love the aesthetic of the home! Access to the James River was easy and the hosts offered to share all of their water resources with us. It was pleasant and charming, and the window AC units kept everything comfortable despite the record heat during our stay. Our adult children who live nearby came over and we all enjoyed the water and the cottage.

    We had such a wonderful stay! The house was cute and cozy, making it feel comfortable and inviting right away. The sunroom was a highlight—beautiful views overlooking the river and the perfect spot to relax. The dock was an added bonus, and I caught plenty of fish during our stay! Overall, a peaceful and enjoyable getaway. Highly recommend!

    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!!!!!!

    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!

    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.

    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!!

    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.
