Enjoy Breezes on the James River, 2bdrm-1bath / 15 minutes to downtown Richmond

The James River house is in Henrico county. We are 15 minutes to Historic Downtown Richmond and 45 minutes to Colonial Williamsburg. We are overlooking the James river in a very beautiful private setting. Our house sleeps 6. The master bedroom has a very amazing king bed and the second bed room has a Midcentury queen bed both have very comfortable mattresses. There is a sun room that contains a daybed and a pull out queen bed in the living area. The large kitchen comes completely 'chef' ready. The picture window in the cozy living room shows off the river. Bring your bikes and bike from your door to the Virginia Capital Bike Trail. The trail will run from Richmond to Williamsburg. We are in walking distance to Deep Bottom boat ramp and have plenty of room for your boat and jet skis. Or you may choose to Kayak or Stand Up Paddle Board right from your private beach. We have direct water access, with a brand new 50 foot dock , with space to tie up 4 boats or just relax and enjoy the sunshine. Don't forget to bring your water shoes our beach is rocky. You can enjoy watching for the many species of birds including eagles, osprey, loons and blue heron to name few. We also have a Donkey (Bubba) and a Horse (Lil Bit) that we can introduce you to. You may also enjoy the challenge of looking for sharks teeth. If there is an angler in your group they have come to the right place. The tidal James in our area is known for catching citation blue catfish. The James also contains striped and large mouth bass, perch,shad and Gar. It is an escape into nature. There is also an abundance of history in our area. If you head East on historical route 5 you will encounter many plantations, battle fields, Williamsburg and Jamestown. If you head West on route 5 you will be going towards Richmond. Richmond has many museums, Tredegar iron works, festivals, Shockoe bottom, eclectic Cary Street, Maymont Park and lots more!! There are also 3 major Theme parks nearby, Busch Gardens, Water Country and Kings Dominion. For quieter days relaxing by the river, reading in the sun room, grilling out your favorite dish, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit this is a wonderful location. The house has a collection of books and games. The octagon picnic table is the perfect place for games and outside dinning. You feel the river breezes and hear the many sounds of river birds as you relax. We do not advertise on Craigslist.

River Stay

Private stay with a lake house and a dock to fish off all yourself. The resident was feeding the horses and a donkey in the nearby stable and helped my daughter pet them, which was a highlight of her trip.

Relaxing getaway

Awesome Cottage

We had an amazing stay at this relaxing cottage right on the James River. The location couldn’t have been better—peaceful, private, and just steps from the water. The dock was absolutely perfect for kicking back with a drink or casting a line. We caught all kinds of fish and spent hours just enjoying the view. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind by the water!

Beautiful, peaceful location!

Lovely views of the river & birds. Peace and quiet. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It is an old house but it is well cared for and we definitely enjoyed the three seasons room. There was everything we needed to cook our meals. I fell in love with the sweet donkey and we enjoyed walking the nearby trails.

Amazing Stay

The property is set on a picturesque landscape with views of the James River from windows and the sunroom. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom relaxing and visiting Bubba the donkey. The house had all the things we needed for a perfect stay. We were in town for a soccer tournament and being able to relax in our downtime was perfect! We had no reason to contact the owners but when we did to let them know we were arriving and departing they were quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay!!

Nice quiet place

After a long family road trip from Western New York to Florida and back, this was a nice place to come to on our way home. It felt very much like back home for us. The property has a beautiful view of the James river. I wish we had more time to explore the area, but we visited family in Richmond and enjoyed the history of the city. It was a great place, plenty to do, and a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the river.

Quiet riverside retreat not far from Richmond

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. Our only regret is that we spent most of our days at a busy conference and couldn’t spend more time relaxing here. But mornings and evenings by the river were incredibly peaceful. The horse and donkey were so sweet, and it’s also a great spot for birdwatching. Despite being remote, it’s still very accessible to downtown Richmond. Definitely recommended for a quiet getaway.

Fabulous time. Rob was a fantastic host. Spent time with us teaching me and my kids how to fish, helped me when my boat broke, brought down gas for my boat, made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The list could go on. Could not recommend him or this location enough. We will be back!!!

Perfect in Every Way

Our visit was absolutely perfect! From the cleanliness of the house to the incredible attention to detail inside and outside, this property is a gem. The owners care about the property and the region, and it shows everywhere you look. Perhaps, the greatest thing about this property is that it is not new construction. This house has history and charm that can only be found in older homes that are well-loved. The property is close to the Upper Shirley Vineyard and Richmond’s incredible restaurants. While we missed Janet on our visit, Rob was a super host, and we look forward to visiting again for the beautiful views and incredible hospitality.

Amazing, Beautiful and Perfect!

My family and I had the most amazing stay here for two weeks!! From the very start, we were treated like family and wish I could leave a 10 Star Review because it is absolutely 100% well deserved! The owners Janet & Rob are the most wonderful and gracious hosts. This property is a slice of heaven, the location is ideal with direct access to the river, it is so peaceful and tranquil with amazing views of the James River right from your living room window, kitchen window and sun room. The private dock is a fisherman's dream-my husband and kids were in heaven catching blue catfish, crabs and a variety of other fish. The hosts provided us with plenty of kayak's, life jackets, fishing poles, and went out of their way to deliver us exceptional hospitality. We will be coming back to stay during our son's college breaks and can't wait to stay again in this amazing cottage on the river. Also, we love coffee and appreciated the Keurig coffee maker as well as the overall cleanliness-it was top notch all the way around. Thank you so much Janet & Rob for everything! : )

Great family vacation!!!

I can’t say enough good things about this vacation home!!! This was our second time staying at this house and both experiences have been great! The house is always super clean and is stocked with everything you will need. We loved the dock, fishing was great from it and it is so convenient being so close to the boat launch. The owners were great to deal with and so helpful. I would definitely recommend this house!!!!!!
