    Christmas at the river mill house

    We had a wonderful family Christmas there. The house is very clean with comfortable beds and beautifully decorated. Plenty of room for the 7 of us to sit together whether we were eating, cooking or lounging. Loved the tranquility and the view out the kitchen window.

    lovely house

    We thoroughly enjoyed River Mill House! It was clean, updated and very comfortable. It had all the historical charm yet modern conveniences. It was the perfect house for a large group and was very close to Cross Keys Vineyard where the wedding was.

    JMU Homecoming Crew

    3 couples visiting JMU for Homecoming weekend. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare our tailgate dishes. The beds were comfortable and the house beautifully decorated. We had a great time, morning and night, sitting by the firepit down by the river! Thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful home!

    Great for friend groups

    We were in town for a wedding and wanted a place where multiple couples could stay. We loved the house. It is beautifully decorated and had plenty of space. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds and linens were comfortable and towels were provided. The views of the river were beautiful and there was wood for the fire pit. One of our friends even did yoga down by the river. The hosts were incredibly responsive. Highly recommend staying here!

    Beautiful, comfortable, and easy!

    We had a wonderful stay at this house. We're two families with kids, and there was enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Both husbands participated in a race in Natural Chimneys National Park, and the location was so convenient! The kitchen was perfectly appointed (sharp knives!) and the kids loved the yard. On our last night we spent a really lovely evening around the fire pit. Very highly recommended!

    Kitchen was beautiful and enjoyable to cook and dine in. Everything was spotless. The kids loved running up and down the hills and investigating the barn. They loved throwing rocks into the river and watching all of the wildlife. We hope to stay here again!!

    We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house on the river. We and our family spent time at the fire pit by the river, on the expansive front porch, and around the dining table. It was a great place to gather, and a fine starting point for attending events and touring. Access to the house was easy, and everything was very well set up.

    A beautiful treasure along the river. Disappointed I didn't get to sit down there because it was Arctic Cold. The house is beautiful and fully updated. I loved the floorplan and gives you the ability to host a full family or just stay to the first floor. I will be back.
