Wooded Wonderland Miniature Golf Hot tub Pool

JoeyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Me and my family loved our stay. The pool and hot tub was great and lots of fun, we didn’t expect how deep it was. The mini golf course is a good time as well. There was so much to enjoy at the house we barely had time to go to the beach. And the host and owner were extremely friendly, and helpful.

The Glebe

KateRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A great stay on the river. The kitchen was well equipped and the rest of the house was comfortable. The screened in porch and access to the dock/beach/river was our favorite part. Our dogs were in HEAVEN. The location is rather remote, so recommend bringing any food you'll want as there are no close stores or restaurants.

We had a really nice stay at the Rose Retreat! The home is wonderfully appointed with nice furnishings. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen with upscale drink and dinnerware. The hand written welcome note, bottle of wine and snacks were so thoughtful - thank you! A perfect location from which to enjoy Irvington and the surrounding towns. We hope to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the pool!

Beach Please! River cottage w/private beach & dock

SarahRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My family and I stayed here for a week for our family vacation. We are a group of 8 (6 adults and 2 kids) and there was plenty of room for all of us. We barely left the house because with the beautiful view, dock, beach area, canoe, kayaks, hot tub, game room/ library, corn hole, and fire pit we all had plenty to keep us entertained. Everyone loved Mary & Shelly’s place, and it provided the perfect space for us to enjoy the river and each other’s company!

Historic Blanton Getaway

SarahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This place was great! The location makes it easy to get to many places in Richmond quickly and it was a perfect location for a family wedding in nearby Maymont. The house is beautiful and the furnishings very comfortable. The pool was a special bonus - lovely and relaxing with incredible plantings. Clearly a lot of time was spent considering what guests might want. I just wish we'd had more time to enjoy it.

The LOFT on Highland

AlisonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Terri’s Airbnb was absolutely gorgeous. The detail and thought they put into this Airbnb was impeccable. You got to enjoy the feel of a private log cabin with all of the updates! The kitchen has everything you needed, and was nice and open to the living room. There were 3 bedrooms- all with good sized beds! It rained the first day, but the second day we cooked out on the grill and had a great time staying in! We also did a little exploring to the observatory. We’d 100% come back and spend a longer weekend walking the trails and taking a train ride! Overall 10/10 stay! :)

Riverview Cabin on the James

GabrielleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
What an absolutely incredible stay. We booked the cabin for a full week with our dogs. Our ideal was to visit a place that was peaceful and surrounded by nature where our dogs could explore without worrying about running into other people or pets. This stay exceeded our expectations. As far as I could tell, the next closest people were over a mile away. The view was spectacular, along with nightly sunsets over the river that can be enjoyed from the hot tub or rocking chairs on the porch. We enjoyed the wildlife, the walkablity of the property, the seclusion, the river access - amazing, peaceful. Inside was also very comfortable. We made use of the kitchen and the grill, the TVs, and the comfortable beds. We cannot wait to visit again!

Mountain View

SalvatoreRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had the good fortune of staying at Mary Catherine's place, and even though it was just for one day, I’ve never felt so relaxed. The house is absolutely stunning, offering a variety of thoughtful amenities and clear, easy-to-follow instructions to enjoy them all. The view is truly breathtaking—you can admire the mountains while listening to the peaceful sounds of birds and local wildlife. If I ever find myself in the area again, I would absolutely hope to stay longer. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Carriage House

BethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The Carriage House is beautiful. From the decor, well-stocked kitchen to luxurious linens, we were very comfortable in this home for a long weekend. Just outside of Farmville in a beautiful rural setting, is a jewel of a home. We were a party of 4, busy with different wedding festivities all weekend. It was lovely to start our days on the porch with coffee and come home to relax on the porch to enjoy the each other. Thanks to our host for a well stocked kitchen, bathrooms and all the goodies for us to enjoy. We appreciated your flexibility when we needed it! I hope to return to enjoy more of the area, shop at Greenfront and stay in this lovely home once again.

We LOVED our stay at Blue Pearl Cottage. It was clean, comfortable and cozy. Ben and Ashley thought of every detail how to meet guests' needs. The location is superb - peaceful and serene. LOVE the screened porch, as did our pooch - a perfect spot for him to hang out! Only wish we had more time there... hope to visit again.

Enjoy the 60 acre retreat and get away from it all

LeslieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Amy’s place was a true hidden gem, beautiful property, 60 acres of country living and privacy to roam, yet all the comforts of home in the house itself. Kitchen was super clean with modern appliances, with everything you might need to make meals. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and exactly what we needed, the kids especially loved having their own rooms, and their own separate section of the house! Our dog enjoyed every minute of off-leash time, exploring the woods, trails, and favorite place by far, the creek! Amy was very responsive and messaged with us back and forth before, during and after our stay. Town is not too far away with restaurants and activities, and Amy was quick to offer suggestions. All in all a great, memory-making trip, and we hope to come back to visit again soon!

Wow! What a wonderful place to spend a few days!! The Resort certainly lives up to its name. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed every detail that was meticulously prepared for us. The host was more than helpful and accommodating for our group of 5 which included two teenagers and my mom who benefited from the accessible floorplan. The weather was perfect for the pool too. Thank YOU and we cannot wait to return the next time we are visiting family in Richmond.

For a peaceful and tranquil experience, this house in Charlottesville is highly recommended.
