This was our 2nd year in this house for our fishing trip. House is perfect for our needs . House on the water and boat ramp is just down the street ! What else is better !

Clean and safe, great location, lovely view of the river.

If you looking for a quiet place to get away this is it. This place has everything anyone would ever need . Whether its fishing or just some quiet time on the James River this is it. Janet & Rob are alway available if yo need anything day or night. This place is 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! : )

Home was fine. I believe exterior i.e. access to river, availability of kayaks, firepit, rocky beach,etc were misrepresented and this is the reason we left early.

This was a great place for our family to stay. We were centrally located among so much American history as well as wilderness. Deer and fireflies were nightly visitors. Down at the dock, blue crabs and fish were in abundance. The property owners were always quick and polite to respond to all of our questions.

The whole family had a great time. Dock was great for fishing.

We have stayed here before and were looking forward to the opportunity to get back to this slice of heaven on earth! Breakfast in the sunroom overlooking the James River cannot be matched in any restaurant. Coffee on the dock with the cool breezes adds to that experience. Communication with Janet is immediate so you are never left with any unanswered questions. Check in is easier than you can imagine. Perfect!

Idyllic spot on the James River which lives up to the description. Highly recommended!

Second time staying here and the place along with the host are great! Very well stocked and loved the location with the dock for awesome Catfishing.

Wonderful location and add ons like the kayaks and dock. Great for family’s

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!

Only 15-20 minutes from Downtown and close to other food and gas options as well. The cottage is quietly located high on the James River with a wonderful dock below for fishing, kayaking ect. Janet responded quickly to questions. Great Stay!

Enjoyed our stay. Small house in a lovely woodland setting. Large sunroom was a perfect place for meals. Very pleasant living room and bedrooms. Well stocked kitchen. Steps to the dock are challenging for the physically handicapped. The property is near the Henrico Police and the Varina Deep Bottom Park. We felt very safe at this property. There is a handicapped ramp at rhe front door of the house.

We love staying here for our birthdays to fish the James river. The house is perfect. A true gem and the hosts are the best! We have made this trip an annual adventure.

A lovely property with the river on one side and horses on the other. Very quiet and serene. Comfy beds and cute sunroom!

My husband and I enjoyed our 6 day stay at this beautiful riverside house! Janet is a wonderful host. We have never spent Christmas away from home (Texas), but thoroughly enjoyed our stay making holiday memories with our son, daughter in love and grandgirl! We will definitely be back!

Charming riverfront stay as described. Place was extremely clean! Kitchen was well equipped and there were indeed lovely river side breezes. Thank you!

Great secluded spot on river

If you are trying to enjoy the James River, this is a perfect spot. The house is clean and has plenty of amenities. It is very conveniently located right on the river! Hosts were very communicative and check-in was easy. Will definitely stay again

We had a great experience right from the start when Janet contacted us to let us know the the place was ready if we wanted to get in a couple hours early early. So nice! We came to fish the James River and the house was less than a half mile from the boat ramp which was so convenient. The house was clean, well supplied, and easy to get to. The bed was so comfortable and the washer and dryer were a nice touch. The house was close to the grocery store and restaurants. I forgot to mention that we caught ten fish during the three days we fished. We will definitely book again!

This place is perfect . Fishing and boating both at your fingertips . Janet has a real treasure here . Would recommend to anyone . We plan on making it our yearly event .

We have returned several times to this property, and we will continue to return every chance we get! Each time we venture out a little more and explore! Each time we catch a bigger fish than the time before! Each time we get to know the amazing owners more. And each visit we fall more in love with this place! We are already working on planning our next stay!

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.

The house was exactly as advertised and the hosts were exceptional. It was a fantastic end to a 7-city wonder trip.

This is the second time we’ve stayed and won’t be the last. This place has it all! Beautiful spot on the river, kayaks, fire pit, grill… a perfect place to reconnect with nature and friends that’s just a short drive from Richmond. Kind and flexible owners as well.

This cottage on the James River was everything we hoped for and more for a much needed retreat. The location was remote which provided privacy and peacefulness. However, it was only a short drive to local grocery stores and restaurants and we were surprised to find how close we were to downtown Richmond's downtown riverside area. The home was equipped with everything we needed and the owners were quick to respond to any questions we had. We definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return ourselves in the fall.

Such a welcoming and beautiful home! My family and I stayed 5 days and were sad to leave when our time was up. We spent our mornings and nights fishing, and during the days toured the sights of Richmond. Couldn't ask for better accommodations. Best of both worlds, quiet and serene yet close to everything at the same time. Beds were super comfortable, view was to die for, and the catfish were biting like crazy! My husband pulled in a whopper of 33lbs! Would highly recommend this place to stay!

Very relaxing and awesome catfishing!!!

This was our second stay. We really enjoyed our stay again which was quiet, peaceful and relaxing, perfect for a weekend or week getaway with plenty of room for the boat and cars.The house is nicely decorated, extremly clean and well stocked. The hosts Janet & Rob are very helpful if needed. We are already looking forward to booking our next stay this fall! I must thank Janet & Rob for such kindness & hospitality!

So happy we found this place, it is a gem. It was tough to leave. Janet is a great host. If ever we get back to the area this would be our first pick of places to stay!

When an appointment and work-related event brought us to Richmond, we booked this cozy home with all the conveniences we look forward to, and beautiful James River views, water frontage and access. It was beautiful, peaceful and erased all stresses. Thank you to the owners. We hope to book again!
