Family-friendly vacation rentals in Goochland County

Great communication from booking and awesome space to get away.

This was my first Air BnB experience. I was most pleased with the experience. The home was clean, well stocked and imminently comfortable. Great location, on a quiet residential street with easy access to all of the events we had planned. Sara was a delight, easy to work with, generous and helpful.

We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a Charlottesville weekend. The Host was super accommodating and helpful, and took the time to meet us at check in and explain the space as well as provide information regarding things to do in the surrounding areas. She also made herself available for any other inquiries that we had both in the time leading up to the reservation and while we were there. The property itself has an excellent location close to many of the attractions in UVA and the surrounding areas. Would definitely stay here again the future.

We had a great stay at Melissa's house. The property was great for our visit and everything was as described and shown in the pictures. The hot tub was a nice bonus! Melissa was very responsive on the Airbnb app. I would highly recommend Melissa's place and we will surely keep it in mind for future visits!

Hands down the cleanest and one of the best appointed Airbnb stays I have ever had. Patrick is a terrific host and very easy to work with. His apartment is a terrific value and in a peaceful and convenient area in Richmond. His yard was perfect for our small dogs. we can't say enough good about our experience!! Just stay here if it's open!

Sunshine Daydream has everything you need and more for a lake house. Our 3 familes had kids ages 2 to 15 and not once did any of them have a "bored" moment. They were constantly outside on the play sets or catching endless amounts of bluegill on the dock. The private cove gave us piece of mind and a safe feeling that we could trust the kids playing in the water without any boat traffic. We brought our own Kayaks but jake does have Kayaks and a paddle boat as well. The fire pit is fantastic for everyone to enjoy smores and the kids wore them selves out just to sleep very comfortable in their own rooms. Now for the adults 3 large fridges and plenty of kitchen space made it easy to prepare meals and hold our beverages as well. The fishing was awesome we got a mixed bag from Crappie, catfish and bass. When the kiddos were out we relaxed in the hot tub. I will say one more thing Jake was the most responsive host I have ever dealt with. Any message we sent he was back in to us in moments.

We really enjoyed our stay! Keith and the team were so kind and helpful.

This is our second stay at this cabin and we so enjoy it there. The setting is private and beautiful. The log cabin is gorgeous. We enjoy the open floor plan and fireplace. It’s been a great location to meet up with family to celebrate the holidays. Wilmer is very kind and helpful. He was responsive to our questions and needs. We appreciated the hospitality. Highly recommend!

Bill's awesome. My family spent Thanksgiving at his place and I reached out ahead of time to find out if there's a mixer for our whipped cream. I would've brought mine from home, but within 2 minutes, he had ordered one to be delivered prior to our arrival! He responded to my questions within minutes. Adorable kitchen worked well for our TG prep. Dining room is in a cozy window-laden spot that was perfect for doing puzzles. Bedrooms have really comfy beds and linens. Bathroom is small, but has everything you need - plenty of fresh thick towels and the water pressure is impressive. Ping-pong table = fun. Backyard was perfect for our dog when we didn't have the time to spend in Court Square Park, conveniently located right down the road. There are two off-street well-lit parking spaces. And the location is fun - eat, drink and shop; catch a movie; just walk around and stumble upon a street performer. All good. UVA is a short walk down Main Street, cideries and wineries a short drive. Go!

We enjoyed our stay at Cadu's while we visited family and friends in Richmond. Clean, comfortable, cozy house -- great communication with host.

Erica was a super-friendly, pro-active and very responsive communicator who gave clear and helpful responses and instructions. Fantastic dealing with her. The snacks/treats and coffee provided were an unexpected but really welcome treat after days hiking in the mountains. Great location for access to Charlottesville and surrounding mountains, wineries and brewpubs. A couple distant trains roll through during the night, but a little white noise from my phone easily negated that. Highly recommend!

Mary Scott and Mark's cottage was a wonderful little getaway. The cottage was quaint and cozy. Check-in instructions were very clear and our hosts were very responsive. It was a great location with beautiful surroundings and had many things to do within a 20-25 min radius. Downtown Charlottesville and Monticello were close by and were great day activities. We also really enjoyed the Glass House Winery which was about 5 min away. Beautiful home, highly recommend!

Very much enjoyed a short but sweet stay in this cabin! Appreciated the little touches including both fireplaces being set up for use upon arrival & maps of the area being laid out on the kitchen island. This quiet, pet-friendly Airbnb was a great escape for the weekend. Thank you for having us 🙂

This was an in-town stay for us as our HVAC was being redone so that our nervous dog could be separated from contractors. Lynne was so accommodating, giving us an early check-in and being so understanding about the situation. I was incredibly grateful to have the space, even though we didn't end up needing to spend the night. Our dog took a nice nap on his favorite blanket on the couch, did a lot of sniffing in the yard, and then got to go home to fresh AC. Thanks, Lynne!!

Perfect house for a weekend in RVA with friends. Great size and the location is amazing with so many restaurants, bars, and shops nearby.

We really enjoyed our stay at Susan’s place. She was easy to communicate with, provided excellent instructions on how to find the house and how to enter, and the Marie bette pastries were a lovely touch!! We were able to bring our dogs who enjoyed the views out the windows while we were at dinner. The space is cozy, clean and comfortable with everything we needed. We visit Charlottesville often and this location is perfect-tucked away and quiet but easy to walk to uva main campus and access 29. Thanks for a great weekend!

Tod provided everything we needed for our Charlottesville visit!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property on Lake Anna. We had 4 young children and 3 adults for our trip. We had plenty of space in the home, and the beach area was perfect for our children to swim. In addition to swimming off the beach, we enjoyed boating, tubing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. It was so nice to have kayaks and paddle boards included on the property. When we weren’t outside we spent a lot of time on the screened-in porch. Evenings were spent down on the dock with a drink watching the sun go down on comfortable chairs. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding area as well. We ate at four different restaurants. Had no problem stocking up groceries at Food Lion and grabbing a few things when needed from Dollar General. The surrounding wildlife was big plus. We saw some cool birds and saw deer going across the property at dusk. It was our first trip to Lake Anna but won’t be our last.

We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were so responsive and so friendly. They were very accommodating and very understanding that we had a small child there were children’s books and the environment was so clean. I would 100% stay again and I’m so happy with the experience that we had.

Full of history and charm. Unique cottage with lovely touches. Beautiful location and especially nice with the spring buds blooming around this enchanting farm.

better than we could have imagined! absolutely beautiful surroundings. The other cabins and main house are pretty close together physically but we never saw anyone-still felt private and the views/surroundings are so beautiful that you feel in your own world, an immersive place. We really liked the decor, much more soul than the average cabin you might find on airbnb, and clearly the hosts have an eye for art and history. There were two times we encountered dogs unexpectedly and without any owner in sight, but they were very friendly dogs and no trouble-just unexpected. This would be a fantastic intimate wedding location!! Had a wonderful time and will be returning in hotter months to use the absolutely beautiful pool area.. thanks for a lovely stay.

We had a relaxing stay with our doggies. it's a cute and cozy cottage. Kim was gracious and responsive. It's a lovely property. I slept in the downstairs bedroom with the doggies, which worked out because they couldn't climb the stairs and I'm scared of heights. I'm addition to the smart TV, the cottage is stocked with a great selection of movies.

Hidden Gem definitely deserves its name! Beautiful views with things to do in the area. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our weekend getaway!!
