About this house rental

Can you say nature please?

This unique property consists of 16 park-like acres bordering a quiet section of the James River. It's great to float, fish or walk the shore line, taking in the sights. You can access the water using the private, gravel boat ramp. A disappearing spring in the front yard is home to sun fish and perch that are fun for the most impatient fisherman. They can be caught year round using a float and small baits (great for kids). If not a fisherman, you can feed them with food located in the garage. The spring reappears near the river providing a good place to relax, cool off, and fish.

The House:
Inside the recently renovated house, find comfort in two large living areas that have pellet stoves to create a lodge-like atmosphere. It has three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The master has a queen size bed and both extra bedrooms have full/double beds. There are queen sleeper sofas located on the main and upper floor. There is a large laundry room and over-sized hot water heater. The kitchen is fully equipped. The large covered deck houses a large Traeger pellet smoker and a Broilmaster gas grill.

This is the second time I have stayed here. We love it. There is so much land to walk around. The river that surrounds most of the house, is awesome and so peaceful. The house is very comfortable. Most of our time is spent outside.

The house is lovely, clean and very comfortable. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided. The host is a great guy, and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our stay. It's only a short walk to the James River, where it's easy to launch kayaks, fish, float or swim. The garage has a lot of fun outdoor games. Our favorite things were the BIG covered deck, and the spring next to the house, which flows into a beautiful little creek and was great fun to explore. We can't wait to go back!

This location was perfect to gather our family together. We made the most of the river access, firepits, yard games and covered outdoor seating on this summer trip. The kitchen had good quality pans, utinsels, and basic spices. Bathrooms and laundry were great. The house is on a somewhat busy farm road and right next to the owner's work shop. It felt private enough but definitely not is a secluded area. Chuck was very gracious and responsive host. Thank you for everything!

My family and I truly appreciated all the details about this house. We felt completely at home, and it was a convenient location. We sat on the porch, dreaming about land of our own one day. Our kids loved the freedom to run around. The owners thought of everything from extra linens and toiletries, to extra laundry baskets and even all the stuff to build a fire. We hope to return next year!

This home and property was a perfect stay for a family gathering. Location was great and the home provided everything we needed from kitchen to entertainment to sleeping arrangements. We want to return in the warmer months to take advantage of the deck and property benefits.
