River's Bend Cabin Offers Solitude and Play on the Upper James River

Escape to River’s Bend Cabin nestled on the bluff over the Upper James River! Admire the sunrise over the mountain from the screened-in porch or just sleep in and have a picnic at the river beach later. You will have access to kayaks and canoes and are welcome to bring your own paddle boats, fishing gear or mountain bikes (no ATVs or motorized vehicles). There are ample walking trails where you will likely spot deer, turkeys, otters, geese and even an eagle occasionally. Explore wetlands, forests and cornfields or curl up with a good book while you let the kids feed the chickens. We are blessed with beautiful views and dark skies in a peaceful paradise and welcome the chance to share with you.
River’s Bend is located near Eagle Rock which allows central access to recreational areas, vineyards and historic sites in Buchanan, Roanoke, Lexington, Covington and Alleghany County. Ask us about touring an historic Kanawha Canal lock on adjacent private farmland. We can arrange a private fly fishing lesson, river trip or even mountain bike rides through northern Botetourt county.
There are three bedrooms and two baths that can comfortably accommodate six (6) guests. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, Bedroom 2 has a king bed (separated into twins at your request) and Bedroom 3 has a queen bed; air mattresses are also available. The kitchen is fully equipped. An open concept design features a fireplace (gas logs) with stone chimney visible from the kitchen, dining and living rooms. There is a game room in the loft equipped with pool table, ping pong table, board games and more. The back deck has a gas grill and ample seating areas overlooking the James River.

Great place, great location, great hosts
A group of retired couples stayed at River's Bend for New Year's weekend. We never left the place and had a fantastic time. Kitchen was well stocked, game room offered ping pong and pool, hiking right from property. The owner even took the trouble of getting 3 kayaks out of winter storage so that we could kayak on an unusually warm New Year's eve day! She was fantastic :)

Weekend getaway
The River’s Bend cabin was everything we expected and more. The cabin has everything we needed and was well equipped and we had the best host in Beth. The setting was perfect. Amazing morning views coupled with complete peace and quiet. Quiet evening relaxation enjoying listening to the sounds of nature while watching the sun set. With little or no light pollution, the stars at night were brilliant! Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Family vacation
We absolutely loved our stay . The cabin was beautiful, clean and cozy . We enjoyed the beautiful scenery surrounding the cabin . It is a great place to unwind and enjoy the peace of nature. We had great communication with the owner. The only challenge I would say that we were expecting the river access to be easily accessible at the back deck . It ended up working out because the river was still a

staying at Riversbend
The property was amazing and we had a great time. Exploring the trails by the river was so much fun. We saw 3 bears during our stay, turkeys, fish, and hundreds of other animals at the animal Safari nearby. The peaceful starry nights were spectacular, especially to watch the meteor showers. The pool table and pingpong table were a big hit when it was too hot to enjoy the outdoors. Thanks so much for your hospitality.

Perfect secluded getaway!
This was our first family vacation where we made no plans or itinerary, and it was the best decision. The property has everything you need to just relax and explore. We hiked the land, discovered cool trees and rare birds, we took canoe trips on the river, we swam in the calm and clean river every day, we played games in the gameroom at night, and relaxed on both porches. Beth was so friendly, accomodating, and just an overall perfect host. The cabin was spotless, open and extremely comfortable. We were not ready to leave and will definitely be back next year! We highly recommend this property!
