Perched on a bluff overlooking a bend in the James River, the cozy log cabin provided a wonderful winter retreat for our family of 5 adults. Elizabeth is a great host, the directions were spot-on, and the bedroom are comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts. Thoroughly enjoyed it once again. ##### Jared B. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Giselle M. 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy River’s Bend was one of our favorite western VA cabin stays to date. Its location is unique - remote enough for dark skies and the sounds of wildlife, with the thrill of the train when it makes its way through the tunnel under the property. The cabin is so cozy, the beds firm and very comfortable. I slept so well every night. We loved the screened in porch, and the river lookout off the tiered back deck. The host assured our comfort with plenty of blankets, pillows and quilts. Everything was clean and easy to find/use. We hiked the mowed trails and explored the remnants of the last James River Lock on the property. So cool! ![Very comfortable sleeping in the primary bedroom - so cozy!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ee39b7a-849f-4094-bb03-4c7b3db04cd6-1761881166441.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A walk around the property toward the James River](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/25399c1f-61f8-4058-9779-8176cd2e7a6b-1761881167548.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Looking up at the cabin from the tiered deck](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f1f5b1b5-4094-4079-ae47-fb442ac020b7-1761881169322.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A cozy night in](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0ad4048f-cc33-4d80-bf4d-2ff1289d2f36-1761881164748.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Giselle M.

The cabin is very secluded and right on the river. She gives you access to the property that most wouldn't. Probably one of my best experiences with an owner and I'm not exaggerating. I highly recommend this get away to anyone 100 times over. The cabin itself is very nice and comfortable. Peaceful and laid back just like described. Alot of wildlife and exquisite scenery from the front porch. Everything you need is there. Loved the game room upstairs as well.

We enjoyed reading the many books available, playing checkers, ping pong and pool. Owner is great- very responsive and helpful. Access to the river is not what we expected. To reach the stone beach, we walked down a grassy field, through a path in the woods, down a steep muddy slope holding onto a rope railing, then through a dry marsh area. To put the kayaks in the water, there’s a second route to the river along a grass path about 300 yards. To get into the kayak one must sink into 8-10” of thick mud. There’s no other place to step in order to get into the kayak. Once on the river, the water is lovely, plenty of fish to catch, and there’s no one else around so it’s peaceful. ##### Suzanne S.

It still blows me away that people nearby do not know how beautiful it is. That said, I am embarrassed to have finally stumbled across this absolute perfect retreat. The cabin, location, and owners are just amazing. My sons had spring break and this last minute choice was perfect. Thank you, Beth! We’ll definitely be back! ##### Robert N.

A couple friends and I went fishing on the upper James and rented the River's Bend cabin. What a fabulous place! The cabin was clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a 3-day getaway. There are beautiful views of the river from the multi-level back deck and the screened in porch overlooking the mountains was a great spot for a nap or evening cocktail. Our host Elizabeth was top notch!! She provided a wealth of information in advance, was very responsive to all of our questions, and ensured we had everything we needed. I seldom leave reviews but this experience was so good that I needed to share. Thanks Elizabeth and hope to be back in the spring! ##### Davis D.

The screened in porch was perfect for having a cup of coffee in the morning and ending the day there with a glass of wine. There are trails to walk on the property that our dogs loved! Highly recommend staying here! ##### Natalie T.

I walked in and was so happy with how adorable this cabin was. 4 of us enjoyed a lovely yet rainy weekend. The rain was just an added bonus to the experience of being in Eagle Rock. We sat on the porch with the rain and caught up with each other after a long period of time. I can’t thank Beth enough for the hospitality and the above and beyond that she is and did for us. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to get away and enjoy a sweet treat. You might even see a bear! ##### Susan H. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ---
