Tiny house vacation rentals in James River

From the moment we first arrived, my newlywed wife and I absolutely fell in love with this cabin. Sitting just a few hundred feet northeast of the pinnacle of Sharp Ridge and overlooking High Knob to the east, this little mountain retreat is a close friend to dazzling sunrises and a bejeweled night sky, winding Allegheny roads and the sarcastically-named Dry Run, a whole host of critterkind and the timbers wherein they make their homes, yet a stranger to civilization, the worldwide web, and—of course—blue waters. In our case, we wanted to disconnect from the technocracy in which we live and exclusively spend quality time with one another immersed in the beauty of nature, and we could not have dreamed of a better spot. Despite the isolation, the charming town of Franklin is only a fifteen-minute drive away and has plenty of groceries, gas, restaurants, and that all-important cell service. As I wrote in the guest book, West Virginia stole our hearts and this cabin was the mastermind.

Ilse's tiny house was just what we'd hoped for... peaceful setting, simplicity in a pastorale setting. Loved our walks down the lane and eating out on the porch. Ilse answered all our questions in a timely manner and made sure our visit was stellar!

The Tiny House Suite was exactly as described... and a little extra. For a tiny house, it had many nice touches that made it seem very homey, and provided everything that we needed. Our little 7-year old slept on the sleeper, and enjoyed her Tiny House, which she still talks about. The next time we're in Lynchburg, we will definitely book this place again. For the price, it was a good value!

Thoroughly enjoyed my return visit to Patricia’s gem of a cottage. In my experience, it is rare to find a beautifully crafted and cared for cottage in a gorgeous wooded setting just 10 minutes from civilization. Also, and importantly, Patricia herself is a generous, joyful host; and her hen house with exotic chickens, and meandering grounds are a delight to explore.

We loved the large deck with incredible views! There is another property very close to this one so wasn’t as secluded as we had hoped but overall we loved our stay here. Go check out Eagle Zen Winery if you have the chance.

We had an amazing stay - LOVED the privacy and beautiful location while having everything needed in this tiny home. We will definitely return

Great place!! Great yard for our pup to play in and very peaceful place to stay.

My boyfriend and I came out here looking for a place to disconnect and Heartrock was the perfect place! Greg gave us a great hiking recommendation to Fortune’s Cove and Kim was so helpful and responsive. The place was so nice and the scenery was lovely. Bilbo the cat was even more friendly than we imagined and we enjoyed hanging with him. We did prep our own breakfast and dinner before arriving just due to the smaller kitchen but it had everything we needed. We took a stroll around the property and it was lovely. The water pressure here is also great. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back.

Our stay was great. We checked in and felt at home. We were visited by cows, goats and rams. It was quiet and beautiful. We would go back to this spot again. It’s great being at a campsite and having the ability to go inside and sleep in a comfortable bed with heat inside.

Kristen was a fantastic host! I booked a year in advance, and she was very helpful from start to finish. The stay was perfect for our out-of-town guest! Location, cleanliness and great communication was top notch!

I had an excellent stay here and would be happy to return again if my work brings me back to this area. I enjoyed the lake access, hot tub, modern appliances, ease of access and privacy. There is a short walk to the lake but that is well described in the listing and was expected. The neighboring houses/properties were a little close but not overbearing at all and I felt comfortable using the hot tub, going to the lake, etc. There is a bit of a drive (15+ minutes) to get to a legit grocery store or restaurant but that was not unexpected. I like that this location is more isolated. It's like camping in a posh 2 bedroom house. When I first drove down the short gravel road to the house around sunset I saw deer, rabbits, a pileated woodpecker and an abundance of fireflies. I had not even checked in yet. I would easily recommend booking a stay at this A-FRAME Lake Cabin.

Comfortable private cabin in quiet area close to the Blue Ridge Parkway for hikes and scenic drives. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware and other amenities. Hot tub was fantastic after long hikes and appreciated the beach towels provided. Everything was clean and as expected per the listing. Highly recommend!

This place was everything we wanted for an overnight getaway!! Jordan is very hospitable and thought of all the details needed for an enjoyable stay! This tiny house is gorgeous inside and out! We definitely recommend it!

I did a random search for a long weekend getaway that was a drivable distance from home. I found the Sugah Shack and after seeing the photos and reading all the excellent reviews, I knew it was the place for us- not even knowing what to expect when we got there. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival -we felt "at home" with every need taken care of for us. The place was spotless and very clean- I am very picky too :) Everything about this home was wonderful. I wouldn't want to stay any other place in Afton. We plan to return annually as there is so much more we want to see and do. For those reading regarding recommendations while there- we took a 3 mile walk along the Rockfish Valley Trail, had dinner at Three Notch'd Brewery (decent burgers/chicken sandwiches, fries and a really good Old Fashioned and beer selection, we stopped by Veritas Winery which was really nice -equally good white and red options, we also ate at Devil's Backbone (5/10) and Bold Rock Cidery (5/10).

I mean, what an INCREDIBLE location! This was our very first time visiting this breathtaking area and the cottage at Brad and David’s was the most quaint little place to stay! Price was absolutely fair and was perfect for my husband and I! My ONE thing to mention- is I think the mattress and pillows are past the best parts of their lives and could stand to be replaced… it appears the mattress is a spring mattress, and on a metal bed frame was far from comfortable and the pillows are on the flat side… BUT- don’t let that stop you from visiting this wonderful cottage for your colonial area trip!

Meadow’s Edge Cottage was clean, wonderfully decorated, and cozy. It had all the amenities you could need. The surrounding farm was gorgeous and truly an amazing place to relax. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend Meadow’s Edge Cottage for a relaxing escape from the city.

I stayed at Hari and Karl’s tiny house for a solo retreat, and it was exactly what I needed. Peaceful, cozy and surrounded by nature. I woke each morning to the sound of birds filling the air and it felt like the land was singing me awake. The space had everything I needed. I made delicious dinners in the tiny kitchen, enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and slept so well in the comfortable bed. The zucchini bread was such a thoughtful and delicious treat. I had the pleasure of meeting both Hari and Karl, and they are wonderful people. Kind, welcoming and attentive. I left feeling rested, nourished and grateful for the experience. Highly recommended for anyone needing a quiet, restorative stay in nature.

The place was great! I had success fishing with some worms! I caught probably 10-15 small red drum I believe! It was located in a great area! All the other towns were about 20-30 minutes away. I would recommend this place 100 times over

We brought our dog along for a beach adventure at The Laughing King. We had an amazing time and MJ was a wonderful host. We stayed in the little hi eymoon cottage and it was quaint and well-appointed. The loft ladder was a bit tricky but once you got up there the bed was super comfortable! We enjoyed walking around and exploring Cape Charles (just a quick 15/20 minute car ride away with plenty of free street parking around town) but our favorite day was playing out on the private sand bar with our dog. We all had a blast on the sandbar and next time will pack a lunch and stay out longer! The property itself was secluded, quiet and private. Perfect for sitting on the porch with coffee watching the tide roll in. They had paddle boards and kayaks to use in the calm backwaters as well as a fire pit and a nice pool. The reviews about MJs wonderful breakfasts were spot on - his quiche was superb. Overall we had a wonderful time at The Laughing King and we would highly recommend it

This cozy cabin is in a great location for couples or individuals looking to spend time in Charlottesville or explore the vineyards, distilleries, cideries, and breweries on the beer trail. The welcome guide included great local spots to check out. We had a great weekend and would stay there again.

We had a perfect stay at the Freedom Cottage. It may have been our best Airbnb stay yet. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well thought out and very comfortable. I really enjoyed the history behind the cottage/land and the dining recommendations left in the coffee table book. The bed was incredibly comfortable which is rare when away from home. The location of the cottage was close in proximity to nearly all attractions we visited during our stay. Highly recommend Freedom Cottage to anyone visiting Williamsburg. Tara was a great host!

This is the perfect, private little getaway. It was in an adorable little neighborhood. It was exactly the quiet getaway location I needed.

This is the second year in a row that I’ve come with my dog Phantom to Kristin and Kara’s cabin. This trip is always exactly what I need to reset myself and spend some quiet time with my dog. The space has everything you need, and the hosts are kind and gracious. I will definitely continue returning.

Words cannot describe how wonderful our stay was. The location, the accommodations, and the ‘residents’ of Grateful Meadows were absolutely magical. We really enjoyed our time there, and are extremely thankful we found it. Such a great experience, thank you!
