It was quiet, serene, scenery was beautiful. Those four days were not enough. We especially enjoyed the screen in porch. We would consider renting the cottage again, it is a gem, tucked in the forest.

From the moment you arrive on the well treed property you feel like you’re in a little bit of paradise. The back of the property leads down to the river flowing by and the sound of the water rushing over the rocks gives a very pleasant place to relax next to the fire pit. The well appointed bungalow is wonderfully appointed with a fishing and outdoor theme and it’s so comfortable and inviting. Makes you just want to move in. Lori and Todd we’re so easy to contact by phone or text just to give a heads up of our arrival and departure. Everything could not have gone smoother or better. I couldn’t recommend this place anymore than to say I would gladly go back there every weekend! Dr. Rick

Beautiful place to relax!
My husband and I wanted to get away to relax. Lori and Todd went above and beyond...gave us so much info on places to go. Had several storms and river was high, but Todd gave my husband a lot of info on fishing spots nearby. House is perfect and the large screened porch was perfect! We would highly recommend and plan to visit again!

The River House
Beautiful property and perfect little house with large and very comfortable screened in porch for taking in the river view if you’re not sitting around the fire pit. Convenient location to whatever your wanting to do. The host provides five star service.

Great Riverside get away
We stayed here for our wedding anniversary and loved sitting by the fire listening to the river babble away! The back porch/deck is the place to be as well. It's close to nearby eateries, breweries/wineries and just what we needed to get away from it all. Owners were super nice and very responsive to questions!

Peaceful getaway
We enjoyed the time we spent at your property. The screened-in porch was my favorite place. I loved listening to the river and God's nature as I sat out there. I even took a nap on the porch on Sunday! The place was very clean and perfect for my husband and I. Thank you, Lori and Todd, for sharing your property with us. God bless you both!

Much Needed Relaxation
Our family stayed here for a few days to take a break and just relax. The house is located quite a ways off the main road, but it's worth the drive once you get there. The house is very quiet and peaceful, and the back porch is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee, eat dinner, or play games. I truly enjoyed my morning coffee on the porch as I listened to the sounds of nature. We went tubing with James River Runners, which is about an hour away and explored Appomattox Court House, which is about 30 minutes away. The rest of the time we just relaxed at the house and played games or relaxed. The house is clean and some drinks/snacks are provided. There are also several games and movies available. We had a great time and highly recommend this property.
