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.

We can arrange a private fly fishing lesson, river trip or even mountain bike rides through northern Botetourt county.

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.

Amazing Retreat!
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!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin! 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!

Cousins trip
Pictures do not do this quaint cabin justice. 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 canā€™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!

Family time! We spend one weekend yearly away together. This was an outstanding year.
This was an outstanding property. The mountains and river were beautiful. Great sunrises and sunsets. The cabin was exactly what we were hoping. Most of all, the hostess, Beth, was very welcoming at the same time understanding we were mostly interested in ā€œchillingā€ out. I would recommend this to anyone.

Perfect cabin in the woods
This was probably the best rental home we have ever stayed at. The home itself is beautifully laid out with all the comforts for a perfect family getaway. We loved roaming around the property and taking in beautiful Mountain Viewā€™s from the front porch. Our kids loved catching fireflies at night on the back deck while my wife and I watched the sunset behind the mountains. Location was perfect, secluded enough to enjoy the sounds of nature and solitude but close enough to town to get essentials. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. She let my daughters ride her tractor and brush hog, my 8 year old said it was the best part of the trip. The house has kayaks, plenty of indoor games, outdoor games, etcā€¦ to make sure everyone is entertained. We finished every night with a family game. We will be coming back soon, very impressed with everything.

2nd time at this property
This is such a great place for when you want to get away but still be relatively close to local attractions. Our group consisted of myself, my brother, his wife, their 2 daughters, a boyfriend and a friend. We came for the VA Safari Park, the Natural Bridge, caverns, and kayaking. I brought my nieces here 2 years ago and we had such a great time, they wanted to come again! Everyone enjoyed their stay. The cabin is beautiful and very clean! Beth, the host, is very welcoming and responsive if you have any questions. Highly recommend!

We stayed for 4 days and had a wonderful and relaxed time. The location was peaceful, the cabin was beautiful and the overall experience was excellent. The host is wonderful and very quick to respond to questions. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch at dark watching the fireflies. It was a perfect relaxing getaway. We hope to be able to stay again next year.

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 :)

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!

There really aren't words to explain the loveliness of this location. The cabin is comfortable and welcoming and offers something for everyone. The screened-in porch is perfect for watching wildlife, lightning bugs, and summer storms. The living room is comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped for cooking, and the beds and bedding top rate. The ping pong and pool tables were a hit as well as the games and puzzles provided.

Serenity!
This property is an absolute Gem! The Cabin is beautiful and had plenty of space. We had 3 adults and 4 dogs, yes 4 dogs. They enjoyed roaming the property and sprinting down to the river for a swim. We only left the property once for a bite and found multiple dog friendly restaurants! Beth was truly amazing, greeted us when we got there and gave us some tips and recommendations on things to do! Plus! On our way out we were stopped by a large tree branch covering the road. I gave Beth a call and she had that thing removed in no time! She is way more than a host and Iā€™m truly impressed. We will be returning to this property in the future!
