Very quiet area that made a great place to get away!
Such a nice house and peaceful.
Our visit was July 1-8, and we would highly recommend this property for a relaxing, refreshing stay by the James River. The house was very clean on arrival, kitchen well-stocked, ample linens and towels. We spent a lot of time on the porches, just hanging out and enjoying the quiet and watching canoers, kayakers, and tubers on the river. Access is right across the road (literally a one minute walk) so it’s easy to wade in. Because we did not have tubes, we went on a tubing trip through Twin Rivers Outfitters in Buchanan (about 4 miles from house). The yard is very large and flat with a big fire pit, picnic table, chairs. Roanoke is about 45 minutes away, but a neat town to explore with lots of green space. Lexington is about 25 minutes away. Just FYI: Because Buchanan is small, there is no large grocery. The Hilltop store and Family Dollar were depleted of basics (due to high volume of campers for 4th of July, we were told). What food we didn’t bring with us we got in Roanoke (combined shopping with a day trip), but there is a Krogers in Daleville, which is closer. The owner was very helpful, very responsive.
We had a great long weekend at this property. They have a ton of activities (yard games like horseshoes, cornhole), puzzles.. it is a 1 minute walk to the river, which is clear as can be. The kids loved swimming, splashing, running, grilling out. everyone we met nearby was friendly and helpful too. we would love to come back!
We enjoyed getting away for the long weekend even those the weather did not cooperate.
Quiet and peaceful place to stay along the river for fishing and Canoeing. Very clean, good communication with host.
Very quiet and peaceful area right on the river. Sit on the deck and enjoy the peace. We tied our river tubes to a rock and floated in the river all day. A big tree provides perfect shade so you can spend hours without burning. House has everything you need.
The river house was perfect for an active family. It was well stocked with everything you’d need, just bring the food. Very clean and felt like home. I’d drink my coffee and read my book every morning out on the balcony while the hubby fished. We swam and played in the river every day and it was close enough to the local attractions to enjoy as well. It was just perfect!
I went to visit my son who lives in Charlottesville. We wanted a place to fish and enjoy the outdoors . This was perfect ! It was not fancy but very comfoyand the river was right across a little shell road. It was close to tubing and kayaking . We found some neat places to eat that were not far. The kitchen in the property was well equipped . I would definitely go back.
Location was great and house was perfect!
