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.

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.

My family and I absolutely love it here. We love the peace and tranquility of this beautiful property, the environment is tranquil country living near the river. The amazing hosts/owners are just truly exceptional and deliver excellent customer service. This lovely country home is the perfect escape for my family. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles traffic that we endure back at home. If I could move in permanently, I would. Thank you Janet & Rob for such wonderful hospitality. 5 Stars Plus Plus Plus!! : )

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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! : )

Mid-July Firefly Shows
This was a great place for our family to stay. We were centrally located among so much American history as well as wilderness. Deer and fireflies were nightly visitors. Down at the dock, blue crabs and fish were in abundance. The property owners were always quick and polite to respond to all of our questions.

We have stayed here before and were looking forward to the opportunity to get back to this slice of heaven on earth! Breakfast in the sunroom overlooking the James River cannot be matched in any restaurant. Coffee on the dock with the cool breezes adds to that experience. Communication with Janet is immediate so you are never left with any unanswered questions. Check in is easier than you can imagine. Perfect!

Doesn’t get much better than this!
I’ve been using VRBO and HomeAway for over a decade, for both work and leisure. I’ve probably stayed at over twenty properties and none have been as clean, peaceful and well-stocked as this one. The location, although it was over an hour away from my work, was absolutely perfect! This is the type of place where I felt no need to even lock the doors when I left for the day. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, and more. The owner really has thought of everything! And I mean everything. This is a first for me. I usually have to go to the store for something; maybe a sponge or big boiling pot. But not here. This house is stocked as if the owners live there themselves. And speaking of owners, you won’t find any better than these. They went far above and beyond for me. They treated me as if I were family. This place and these owners are a rare jewel and I consider myself fortunate to have been allowed to experience the little slice of heaven that is their property. This is the total package. Great place, wonderful folks, a donkey named Bubba, and catfish to be caught right off their dock. Thanks again Rob and Janet. I hope to see you again soon!
