This truly is a riverfront cottage, with large windows throughout the house facing a majestic view of the York River. The tranquil surroundings provided lovely walks through nature, with woods and brush abutting strips of beach. The kayaks were easy to access, and I highly recommend taking the opportunity to paddle along the river. All in all, this is a great spot for a cozy weekend or a romantic getaway!

Property: The view on this property was unbeatable. The cottage was on a big piece of private land alongside of the river. It was next to and independent from Bill and Yvonne's house. It had a nice size kitchen, big screen TV, very clean and also with great views of the lake and the pool. Hosts: Bill and Yvonne are very friendly and welcoming. Bill greeted us upon our arrival and gave us lots of recommendations on the areas as well as advices in travel in general. We had a great time talking with him. They generously lent us the kayak and opened to us the patio that connect to their house, which had a jacuzzi and sitting area. The river was wide but not deep. So it was perfect for kayaking with families. So much to do on the property. We ended up cancelling our trip to VB, instead staying on the property kayaking and playing in the pool. We highly recommend this place to everyone.

I was in need of some true mental relaxation, and couldn't have asked for a better place! Yvonne was welcoming, and the views from the property were stunning. Loved the peacefulness of the water, the cool breezes, fishing, crabbing, swimming in the pool, looking at the stars, walking the property. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Lovely location on the York river. We enjoyed taking the kayak and canoe out and then relaxing in the hot tub and the pool. Hosts were very welcoming.

The hot tub, the cottage, the property, the location, the quiet... everything about Bill & Yvonne's place is wonderful. I hope they'll be hosting in the summer time too - we'll be back to use the pool and kayaks! It's a short drive to Williamsburg and Yorktown, and the cottage has everything you need. Don't forget to stop by their distillery in Williamsburg! They are excellent hosts in both settings.

The cottage was very clean larger than it looks in the picture. The pool was very nice as well. We had a relaxing long weekend!

This is a wonderful little place to stay for some R&R! We were only able to stay one night, but we wish it had been for longer. The cottage was well-maintained and had everything we needed. We were immediately greeted by the person staying at the main house on the property, who answered all of our questions. Yvonne was very helpful before the trip, communicating quickly via email. I would definitely stay here again!

The cottage is rustic, but comfortable. On a peaceful, quiet riverbank within 30 minutes of American historic sites: Jamestown, Yorktown, Williamsburg. Yvonne and Bill are superb hosts, with plenty of tips on the region's attractions, restaurants, and military installations. They even printed and scanned some forms I needed to complete for another adventure later this year. And the cottage wifi is excellent. Highly recommended.

容易沟通好的位置!我肯定会推荐

This apartment is wonderful. The location is perfect! You are one block away from Cary St. and a ton of cool restaurants. Fiona and family are perfect hosts- always within reach if necessary and very attentive. The apartment space is great as well. The bed is very comfortable and all amenities are exceptional (e.g., full kitchen, rain head shower, heated bathroom floor). I can't say enough great things about this apartment!

Fiona communicated with us throughout our stay and made us feel completely welcome. Her daughter walked us down after we got in late, and the place was stocked with coffee, snacks, fresh linens, and everything we needed to feel at home for the weekend. The proximity to Carytown was perfect and made our trip that much better. I cannot recommend Fiona and family highly enough.

Tuvimos una gran estancia en Fiona! Fiona era fácil comunicarse con ellos y el apartamento era exactamente como se describe, por no hablar de que está en una gran parte de la ciudad. Sin duda nos alojaremos aquí de nuevo.

我在什么我们的主机与公寓做了如此深刻的印象。照明是如此美丽的想出来,这个地方是那么干净,装潢是顶尖的。其加热瓷砖地板和独特的淋浴的浴室是一个喜悦。我肯定会再呆在那里。和位置---不能更好

The apartment was adorable. Fiona was very welcoming. It is a basement apartment, but has been furnished and decorated really well. The bathroom is new and has a great shower head. If you want to stay I'm the heart of the city, but don't want to break the bank, this is the place for you!

Lovely!

We had a great stay in Carytown! Fiona and her family were excellent hosts and a delight to talk to, the bed was super comfortable, and we loved that the refrigerator had a pitcher of orange juice and some Greek yogurts to start our mornings. The location was as good as it gets and everything was absolutely perfect. We would love to stay there again if we ever have the chance to come back down to Richmond. Thanks so much!!

Had an amazing stay at the cottage! Was exactly as pictured! Very cozy and peaceful! Will have to come again in the summer to enjoy the pool!

Beautiful accommodation that was very quaint, quiet, and peaceful. Had everything you needed and Meralyn was there if we ever needed anything.

Meralyn made us feel very comfortable at their cottage. She was flexible when our arrival time changed. She went out of her way to give us some help when we needed it. The cottage is in a country setting, although close to a road, so we could get in and out easily. The cottage was large, and the pool was a big plus after being in the car for several hours on a hot day.

This location is the perfect jumping off point to explore either the Blue Ridge Parkway or Lynchburg. Very nice and quiet. Great views and great hosts.

Loved the space, it had everything I needed and was extremely comfortable. The surrounding area was beautiful (especially in the fall). Meralyn communicated well and was very accommodating.

Meralyn did a great job communicating with myself and my inlaws about their stay in her pool cottage. My inlaws raved about their stay when they came home. They said it was plenty of room, comfortable, and clean. They enjoyed meeting Meralyn and her husband and would stay there again on future trips to visit their family!

We loved the cottage. Our hosts were great and always had a quick response. The inside is so cozy and feels like home. We will absolutely be back the next time we need to get away for a weekend!

We had a great time at the cottage. The hosts were welcoming and helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jill's. The apartment was very cute, clean and accessible to all we wanted to do. Jill was a great host. she notified us that we could check in early the day of because previous guests had left. Her directions we clear and she even left doughnuts for us which was great because I was starving when we arrived!

Great place!

Jill provided an amazing place for us to stay—clean, spacious, comfortable. It was exactly what we wanted.

Great place with a neat aesthetic and easy access by car or by foot to Richmond.

Very nice apartment on the west end of Richmond. An easy walk to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Carytown, and brew and cider houses. Comfortable place to stay.

Jill was very patient. We ran over an hour behind schedule, but it was not a problem for her. I just made sure to keep her updated when we hit significant delays. Jill was very welcoming throughout. She took the time to tell/ show us the places to go and things to see in the area when we arrived. She got us some doughnuts for breakfast, the bed was Amazing, and the place was very clean and well decorated. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely, modern condo. Jill was helpful and available. She gave great recommendations for food and was very responsive.

This was our second time staying at Jill's place and everything was perfect! We stayed here about a year and a half ago and it was just as great this time around. We were in the process of closing on a house in Richmond and Jill was extremely accommodating even when our dates changed. Very easy check in/out and communication.

We had a fantastic experience staying at Bill's. The suite was nicely furnished and very clean. The neighborhood was fantastic and centrally located to all of the importat sights and the acclaimed restaurants. Exceptional host! Would not hesitate to recommend or stay again.

Thank you, Bill, for the wonderful pleasant and relaxing stay with you. And the guidance and suggestions about things to see and do in the safe, walking-distance neighborhood. We'll be back.

Location, location, location. That is what they say in real estate. Well this place has it. Plus it is a lovely suite with a kitchenette. And to top it off Bill and Amy are wonderful hosts.

Our first stay in Richmond and we were lucky enough to have Bill & Lissa as our hosts. The quarters were as described, unique, spacious, clean, functional. Having a covered, spacious balcony is so cool. But even more, the many well-thought-out details, and thoughtful little touches made us feel instantly at home here in the very heart of the amazing Fan. Our only regret is that we did not have any time during our whirlwind trip to get to know Bill & Lissa better. Thanks to both of you guys for the hospitality :) We'll see you next time! Dave and Patsy Uebel

Bill and Lissa were lovely hosts. I was glad to have a chance to share a glass of wine with them on their beautiful back patio. The apartment was perfect a nice comfy bed and bathroom. A stocked kitchen with everything I needed. They had thoughtfully left me fresh berries and bananas along with yogurt, cereal and cream for my coffee. I felt very welcome and taken care of which I appreciate since I was had an intense week at VCU working towards my doctoral degree. Their house is in the perfect location, close to restaurants, VCU, museums and parks. I felt like I was staying with thoughtful friends who took care of me yet gave me privacy.

Bill and his wife are over-the-top hospitable. The private suite upstairs with off-street parking and private entrance is very convenient. They provided goodies in the frig for breakfast and were available for questions. I unexpectedly had to stay longer, but the suite was rented out, so they made other accommodations for me in their home, which was unexpected and very gracious. They put the "charm" in Southern Charm!

We had an excellent stay with Bill in Richmond. The apartment is beautiful and very well equipped - we especially loved the balcony! Location is ideal, a short walk from museums and great restaurants in the relaxed, historic cultural quarter of Richmond. We would love to come back and explore at more length!

Great Fan location, comfortable quarters, generous coffee, healthy food, and breakfast options, friendly host.

Angela was so welcoming! It is a beautiful property and the tipi is in the perfect location. I really enjoyed falling asleep to crackle of the wood in the fireplace which heated the tipi. It was a neat experience and I would highly recommend staying if you're in the area and like adventure. The tipi was decorated really well, practical but authentic feeling. No place like it in Lynchburg!

Angela's tipi was the perfect getaway that we neeeded. We drove up to the picturesque tipi. Upon entering the tipi, we discovered that Angela had a fire going in the wood stove and candles lit throughout the tipi. We unpacked and built a fire in the outdoor fire pit where we cooked our dinner(they do provide a propane fueled camping grill if you'd prefer to cook that way). The little kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we could have needed for our glamping experience including plenty of fresh water. We were pleased to find that the tipi does have electricity which was great to use for our iPod docking station so we could listen to some tunes while we sat outside by the fire and looked at the stars. The bed was so comfortable and warm, I had one of the best nights of sleep I'd had in a while. Angela stopped by in the morning and introduced herself and she was so kind and asked how our stay was. There's also a great area guidebook that she has put together with many activities that they offer on the premises as well as off. We will definitely be returning and spending more time there so that we can explore the property more and all it has to offer.

I've never stayed at a tipi before. This is a beautiful structure! The hosts were friendly and easy to reach. The decor was stunning. The blankets and bed are super comfortable. The stove kept us warm. You might have to keep the fire going by adding more wood in the middle of the night or you'll wake up super cold! We did some light cooking on the stove. There is electricity in the tipi! Two outlets to charge electronics. No wifi (why would you need it for anyways?). Water is supplied. We brought drinking water. There is a cooler for you to use. Hiking trail starts right outside the tipi. We walked about 5 miles through the tunnel! Our dogs had a blast. Full disclosure: the tipi is located next to the highway and next to the farm house so it's not secluded. Close to downtown. Which was ideal for us. This was a great experience! Would def recommend to anyone looking to try something new! Thank you!!!!

We hit traffic on our way out of the city, but our host was in contact with us our whole way there. She wanted to make sure she was there to show us around. The space is incredibly comfortable and thorough. We brought supplies, but the tipi had everything we brought and more. It is an experience more like staying in a cabin than a tent, while still preserving the connection you feel to the woods around you. There was so much to do on the property that we barely scratched the surface. If you book here, you will not want to leave the property. Our host was so considerate that when we left something at the tipi which was of sentimental value to us, she made sure we got it back. Amazing experience!

My girlfriend and I loved our stay at the tipi. I booked it as a surprise for her to give us a night to ourselves while visiting family for Christmas! She was thrilled, and the amenities, furniture, and bedding were top notch. The fire was a bit tough to get started but luckily while we were out to dinner I'm assuming Angela got the stove going for us and it was hot when we arrived! You'll need to add logs roughly every 3 hrs to keep it hot and going if you're staying on a cold night, although the bedding is very, very warm. Great stay, romantic, and unique for air bnb!

We loved it. It was so cozy! Our host responded well to all our questions and small issues we had. We will definitely be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful time in the tipi! Even on a snowy night, the tipi was cozy with the warm wood stove and abundance of fuzzy blankets. A once in a lifetime experience!

AWESOME UNIQUE TIPI EXPERIENCE. BETTER THAN ANY CAMPING EXPERIENCE WE EVER HSD.

Lisa and Steve were the most hospitable of hosts. They were considerate and helpful, from greeting me upon my arrival to having a wonderful selection of coffee, bread, berries and yogurt for breakfast. Lisa actually bought a cake for me to bring to my son for his graduation! The cottage was impeccably clean, charming and comfortable.

This is a great place to stay for an intensive week. Very close to Liberty. Very private, but felt safe. Very clean and comfortable.

I have been staying at the cottage for several weeks while I am working on a project in Lynchburg. Lisa is a very thoughtful hostess and the cottage is much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. You are surrounded by beautiful woods and plenty of peace and quiet while at the same time being only minutes from restaurants and shopping. The kitchen and living room access provided by far exceeds what is provided by hotels who charge a much higher rate. I highly recommend these cottage accommodations to anyone who is traveling to Lynchburg for a few days or a few weeks.

My husband and I had such a wonderful weekend at Lisa's cottage. We were celebrating our third anniversary and this was the perfect little getaway. Lisa and her husband were incredibly hospitable and had thought of everything that we might possibly need. We wish we could have stayed longer! Beautiful area, cute little cottage, wonderful hosts. Thanks for everything, Lisa!

Lisa made me feel very welcome

Amazing accommodation! While I did not get to meet Lisa and her husband since they were out of town, their daughter filled in as tour guide and welcoming presence during my stay for a Liberty intensive class. The cottage is very nice and such a comfortable bed. The living room/bathroom/kitchen is really a very short walk. It is a nice place that feels like a relaxing seclusion up on Candlers Mountain, yet is only minutes away from Liberty, restaurants, and the mall. Also I felt safe - seemed like a nice neighborhood and Lisa's husband has his state police car parked in front. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone staying in Lynchburg, whether for an intensive or just visiting the area. The ONE downside I would state is that it's in the woods... which means bugs do get in (and I'm not a bug person at all!) Just make sure to have shoes on, at least socks, when you're inside in case you need to kill a spider. But that did not detract from my stay, it was just something I wish I had thought about and realized before going in the bathroom the first morning there and seeing a spider next to the shower! Anyway, as I said other than that it was great and loved it and would probably stay there again! Such a refreshing place compared to hotels! I think I received a text from Lisa's daughter nearly everyday making sure everything was okay!

This is my second stay at the Tiny Cottage, and it was just as great this time around. Lisa and Steve are extremely friendly and hospitable, and the location and condition of the cottage is fantastic.

I have stayed at the Tiny Cottage several times and it is always a pleasure. The accommodations are immaculate and welcoming and Lisa always leaves special treats in the kitchen area of the main house.

We had a lovely time at Vickie's adorable guest house. I wish we could have had more time there, but our schedule had us pulling in very late every day we were there. The house was clean, very well-furnished, Vickie was extremely welcoming, and having directions on the counter to local groceries and pizza that were open late was so appreciated! Loved the quilts and the pond, too.

This place was absolutely amazing, and the perfect stop for us in Virginia! I truly wish we had more time to enjoy this place because it was so beautiful! Beds are super comfy, and loved the upstairs area as well. I also really appreciated how she had all instructions, local hot spots, and also emergency info out. This place is a gem, and we really enjoyed our stay.

Vicki is a delightful and very welcoming host. Her guest house is very private but Vicki is there if you need her. The house is very comfortable and clean with quality linens and towels as well as some of Vicki's own hand-made quilts on the beds. Also, the kitchen is very well equipped for such a compact space and Vicki provided a surprising selection of tea and coffee. We enjoyed the beautiful, local countryside yet there is easy access to Richmond, Charlottesville and Lake Anna.

Our stay in Montpelier was relaxing and rejuvenating. Vicki and her husband were very welcoming hosts, and the guesthouse had all we needed for a comfortable weekend away.

Very much enjoyed a peaceful retreat in the country full of birdsong, frogs in the pond, rabbits, even saw a bald eagle. So relaxing! The house is beautiful, decorated with amazing hand made quilts by Vicki and immaculately clean. Thank you so much Vicki for the hospitality!

This was an amazing stay! If you're looking for a quiet, clean spot with an incredibly accommodating host - this is your spot! Thanks for an awesome, peaceful little getaway :)

Vicki was a very gracious and knowledgable host. The house was lovely and suited our need perfectly. If you passing through i highly recommend staying here

Vicki, thank you for the opertunity to stay in your wonderful little house, we loved every minute of, it! It was way to short, so we will be back when we need to be in the area again. Everything was there to feel you home! A great place with great people!!! A must go, if it is up to us !

Comfortable...Elegant....Affordable... I was elated when I discovered that the flat was available during the Liberty Graduation weekend. Shortly after my discovery, I contact Red and she approved my request within hours. We arrived slightly later than the agreed upon time and Red was very accommodating. Upon entry into the home my mouth dropped. It's even more charming that the photos! The bed was comfortable, she gave us access to hot tea, cofee, and water. She really hit the bullseye... Red you are a talented decorator/designer!

We loved Red's mansion apartment in a beautiful area of Lynchburg. Red was awesome and easy to communicate with. She made is very easy for us to arrive late at night and enter with a code, not having to disturb anyone! The area is perfect, situated close to Riverside Park where there an Alpine trail and some views of the James River. I woke up early and walked through the homes and went to the park to take some pictures of the water. I felt safe in the area. Ample parking and great wifi. Now, the place is amazing, well appointed with everything a traveler might need. The shower was incredible, good hot water and pressure. Red is an amazing decorator. The place has so much charm. If you're looking for a unique, clean and historic spot, this is it!

Thank you so much for hosting my friends! They were so effusively complimentary of their experience, and should any other friends or family visit me in Lynchburg in the future, you will be the first choice for their lodgings!

Such a great place!

The apartment was lovely and in a very convenient location. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Lynchburg.

Fantastic unit definitely will be back!

I loved the style of the apartment. It has amazing decor & romantic feel. It is close to good restaurants & nightlife.

Arriving at the house, I was already impressed with its looks. Once I entered the flat, it got even better. It was wonderfully decorated and had all the amenities you could want (and more). The location was convenient to all areas in Lynchburg. Red was a wonderful host and responded to my messages quickly. I would highly recommend staying here!

This place is amazing. Would definitely recommend if you want to be in the center of the action in Richmond. There a grocery store directly across the street and the famous Sugar Shack within walking distance. The actual apartment is so spacious! Adriand & Alexandra left some very thoughtful things in the apartment for anybody who stays. They thought of everything. Will definitely stay here again in the very near future.

We had a great stay at Adrian and Alex's place while visiting Richmond for the first time. The apartment was spacious but cozy (especially the beds). Location was great and we were able to walk to a lot of restaurants, shops, etc. We would definitely like to stay there again.

We had s great time! Thanks for sharing your place with us!

Adrian和亚历山德拉是清澈的,我们需要检查成功并获得位于其宽敞的公寓的资料,概述所有。这的确是一个非常便利的位置,步行距离之内,以各种各样的整个里士满和马路对面直接伟大的斑点从克罗格杂货店。路边停车很容易找到。公寓是宽敞,干净,和精美装饰;照片这里的特色Airbnb住宿是准确的。它觉得有点太大了,只是我们两个人,谁是走了大半天的停留期限的,但几乎没有一个批评 - 它只是一个挑高,通风,开放的,宽敞的公寓就肯定舒适接收4至5人。沉睡的住宿放松和令人耳目一新(我们最接近卧室到浴室睡)。浴室毛巾柔软,卫生间和厨房的储藏丰富的耗材。总体来说,我们有一个愉快的假期,我们绝对会建议阿德里安&Alex的公寓给任何人。

Adrian and Alex's apartment was adorable. The apartment was centrally located close by to everything in Richmond. They were also very easy to communicate with and helpful.

The listing was as described. I enjoyed my stay tremendously and will book the rental in the future. It was the perfect "home away for home". The host took great care in anticipating their guests needs by providing linens, towels, toiletries (in case you forget anything), and kitchen necessities. The home was very clean and neat. Additionally, the home felt very safe and secure (great perk for a woman traveling alone).

Worked out great for us. As others stated, the location couldn't have been better for our trip to VCU. During the late night hours, there is some street noise you will hear which is to be expected with this location. Saving this location for our next visit! Great hosts. Thanks Adrian and Alexandra!

This is a FANTASTIC apartment, and Adrian and Alexandra are perfect Airbnb hosts! There were so many thoughtful touches in the apartment, like some really helpful toiletries and lots of coffee and tea. It's very spacious and airy. Our group was made up of three adults, and we had plenty of space to decompress after our busy sightseeing days. This apartment will make you feel like you are living in Richmond! Well, living in a super hip, ULTRA CLEAN, stylish Richmond pad. Adrian and Alexandra helped us find some great places to eat in Richmond, and were always available if we had a question. The location is great. It's an urban street with some heavy foot traffic in the morning, but that's part of the charm! City mice will be right at home. We never had a problem finding street parking, although we had to be diligent about the hour limits during the day. I hope we get to visit Richmond again. This is definitely the first place I would consider renting!

"Enchanting" would be the word to describe our visit to Jennifer's cottage. It was just as described, if not better. The views were remarkable, and the peaceful energy of the place made us one happy family (4 sisters and 2 toddlers). The beds and linens were plush and comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, and although I'd agree that the shower water pressure was challenging, everything else was so perfect, nobody could even complain. We spent most of our time on the two decks, letting the babies play in the dirt and explore the grounds. My almost 3 year-old nephew even got to feed the peacocks! Jennifer was on hand at the B&B to help us with any questions, although she had everything in place for us already. The general store down the road had everything we needed, from produce and wine to diapers and outdoor gear, and the woman behind the counter was as nice as can be. My only regret is not having more time to explore the area, but with so much to take in from the front porch, it was hard to justify leaving. We laughed, we cried and we made lasting memories, thanks this adorable getaway spot. It was the perfect 'four sisters' long weekend. I'd recommend this rental to anyone looking for that peaceful escape into the enchanting hills of Virginia.

Myself and five other friends stayed over on the Fairview Estate at the cottage on a weekend trip to the area. We skiied for two days at the nearby Wintergreen ski resort and found the cottage to be a pleasant place to spend our evening time and to cook breakfast in the morning. The estate is is a picturesque farm, complete with friendly animals, and even offers a hot-tub for post-skiing relief! Jennifer was quite accommodating and responsive in the reservation process, ensuring that we had a great stay.

The cottage at Fair View was absolutely breathtaking! The pictures don't do this place justice! With booking on such a short notice Jennifer was very accommodating and always a text away! The cottage was fully stocked with everything we could need and the grounds were breathtaking! Not to mention the baby peacocks were such a treat to see! Absolutely will be staying here again!

What an amazing place! We felt so lucky to have gotten to spend the night here - and on such short notice! The setting couldn't be beat - the sunset views alone were worth it, but the added charm of peacocks roaming around put us over the top! Jennifer was quick to respond and made sure we knew how to get a hold of her if we had any questions. I'm already recommending the cottage to friends...I'd definitely love to come back and linger for a few days...

This place is a gem! We arrived late at night and couldn't find the place but Jennifer was in touch with us and stayed in contact while we found the place. The view is beautiful and it's great waking up to the sound of nature. The cottage was well equipped and felt like home. The peacocks were roaming around the house. One of the male peacocks loved playing with our shiny car and left few scratches but the host handled that very conveniently. Definitely recommend this place that feels absolutely perfect. Thank you Jennifer, we hope to be back.

The listing was even better than what we expected. We felt bogged down by the rush of the city so the (short) time we spent in this beautiful cottage was exactly what we needed. It was clean, spacious, and elegant - everything from the decor, to the location, to the ample supplies in the kitchen, was perfect. Jennifer was very easy to get in touch with and the entire process was quite hassle-free. We hope to be back soon!

Our stay at the Cottage was magical. We were only there one night and wished we had more time to stay. As soon as we drove up to the property, we were greeted by the two sweetest beagles. They guided us all the way to the cottage and as soon as we parked and got out of the car, they gave us a warm, loving welcome. Check in was as easy as it gets with a door code provided to us before hand to access the cottage. There was also a chalkboard outside with my name on it, welcoming us. The cottage itself was insanely spacious. Two stories, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, full kitchen, living room area and library. It was way bigger than what my husband and I needed, but we were not complaining! Everything worked out great for us. Kitchen was fully equipped (except paper towels), bathroom was a good size, bed was comfortable. We had no reception on our phones but the wifi helped us stay somewhat connected which was comforting. The property itself is dreamy. We took a lot of time walking around and exploring. As already mentioned, the two beagles were the first two friends we made. As we kept exploring, we added 2 beautiful, gentle horses to that list and a sassy cat named Godiva! We also saw 2 or 3 peacocks. We didn't get too close to them but they were absolutely beautiful to watch. There was even a white, albino peacock walking around with her babies. Beautiful! We had a fantastic stay, took beautiful pictures and would stay here again without hesitation if we were to find ourselves in the area.

A really peaceful getaway with a wonderful view was exactly what we were looking for. Great for escaping and relaxing but also a lot to do nearby if you're feeling adventurous. We did the Crabtree Falls hike which was beautiful and pretty challenging. Stopped by Saunder's Brothers market and had dinner at Devil's Backbone Brewpub. All of it was great and we definitely would like to come back. Thanks for the wonderful visit!

Shela is the most wonderful host ever. That statement had to be said as she made my girlfriend and I's stay with them the most comfortable and easygoing experience ever. Shela and her Husband are wonderful just to converse with, independent of the room being being absolutely gorgeous, with everything you could possible need, sans cookies (but those aren't that far either :)). There isn't much more I could say, beyond, it was a wonderful stay, especially for location.

Awesome spot!! Such a sweet getaway and do comfortable.

Great oversize room . . . spotless . . . great private bathroom area with large shower room , modern design . . .lots of light and our hosts were quite warm &friendly

Shela and Dale were the perfect purveyors of southern hospitality, California style (like their beautifully upgraded home). The master suite was the most sumptuous quarters we have yet encountered: beautiful walk-in shower, elegant "neo-clawfoot" tub, heated tile floors. Truly a pleasure, as was chatting with them about grandchildren and other family history, and watching their amusing pair of cats.

Shiela and Dean were very gracious hosts, helpful with directions, made me very comfortable, and great company for conversation. Their home is possibly more beautiful than in the photos, and so thoughtfully appointed, your every need is anticipated! I have to be in Richmond a few more times on business in the next few months, and have already booked the space--would hate to stay anywhere else.

I stayed in Richmond for the Richmond Marathon. I was delighted to find this lovely home so close to the starting line. The room we stayed in was just beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. I wish I had more time to spend here and enjoy the soaking tub and beautiful shower but we were only here for one night. The hosts were extremely helpful and had my coffee ready at 530am! This home is just as lovely as the hosts. Shelas husband even came to see me run part of the course! Thanks I needed that at around mile 20! If you are planning a trip to Richmond you have got to stay here! I would love to stay here again and just enjoy the space and the Hosts. Thanks again! Toni

我们喜欢我们的住宿!房间很宽敞,舒适,以及装饰。浴室面积也满大的设施(可爱加热地板,大淋浴,漂亮洗发水/肥皂/乳霜,梦幻般的浴缸),床是超级舒服。谢拉海和她的丈夫也是令人愉快的和伟大的聊天,我们爱的猫!

The master suite was nicer than any hotel I've ever stayed in! It was very spacious and immaculately clean. The neighborhood is lovely and the location was so convenient. Shela and her husband are very kind and welcoming hosts. I would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone looking for a place to stay in Richmond!

Virginia's home was in a secluded beautiful spot on Smith Mountain Lake. Virginia was very helpful with eating establishments in town. She was very welcoming with her home and accommodations. We liked having the entire bottom floor of her home to ourselves. Virginia was very friendly and enjoyable to talk with. We enjoyed the goodies that Virginia shared with us. We hope we get to go back another time and stay longer.

This was a spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet place to stay. We spent 2 wonderful nights and went for a quick trip with the kayak up the cove toward the main lake area. Virginia is a perfect hostess.

My husband and I visited Writer's Cottage for a weekend get away! We wanted quiet, nature and privacy and Writer's Cottage delivered on all aspects! The location of WC is tucked away from the hustle and bustle so that you can really enjoy getting unplugged from the rush and madness of everyday life. It's this way so much so that there is no WiFi or phone service (except Verizon). That part ca be a little unnerving at first but once you settle in to the fact that you have no distractions, it's quiet relaxing! And if you do need phone signal all you have to do is pull out of the driveway onto the private road that the property is on and drive 0.1 mile (literally less than 2 minutes to walk) and you will have phone and data signal! :) It's perfect! The best of both worlds. Virginia, was the sweetest of hosts! I was so pleasantly surprised to find out where she is from and I hoped that at some point we would be able to visit with her. And we did! She was so friendly and open to share stories with us about her writing adventures. I had a blast! My husband and I certainly hope to go back another time in the summer! :) Thank you Virginia for sharing the hidden jewel that is Writer's Cottage, with us! :)

The Writer's Cottage was a wonderful place for peace and quiet and to enjoy beautiful lake views. My husband and I hope to return this summer to use the free kayaks. Virginia was an excellent host and we highly recommend staying here.

The Writer's Cottage was absolutely lovely in every way - even better than the pictures. It is situated on a peaceful pond, offering a very serene, relaxing atmosphere. Our hostess was equally lovely - we would love to return!

The Writer's Cottage was a great place to stay while we were at SML to fish. The three of us (all men) were well taken care of. Everything was provided and very nice! Couldn't have been happier with our stay. Hope to stay again! Virginia is the ultimate hostess!

My brother and I were on a road trip and we spend 3 nights at the Writer's Cottage. Virginia was very welcoming and gave us excellent dining and entertainment suggestions. The place was even better than the description and the lake was beautiful as ever. I hope to go back next year with my wife. Thank you Virginia for your hospitality!

Virginia was incredibly friendly and accommodating. She and her husband provided food and an entire floor to myself on my trip. The place was perfect for my stay; it had a coffee maker, fridge, microwave and was situated next to a river. The setting was absolutely beautiful and I strongly recommend this booking to anybody, specially writers and musicians looking for a creative getaway.

Our stay on the GiaMaria was absolutely perfect. Captain Ron and Admiral Ruthie were amazing hosts! We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere so much we didn't even use the internet! I look forward to coming back to Richmond so that we can stay again. If I could give the GiaMaria and Captain Ron 10 stars I would!

Fun place to stay. The boat is comfortable and fully equipped for a great get away. Ron is full of information about the area that you won't get anywhere else.

GO THERE!!!!----CAPT RON IS THE MASTER HOST AND THE BOAT IS UNIQUE, COMFORTABLE, TOTALLY EQUIPPED.....TOTALLY!!!!!!!!I MEAN TOTALLY........ENJOY THIS OPPORTUNITY WHEN YOU CAN.............

The experience of staying on Captain Ron's houseboat was the definition of local flavor. Ron was very helpful with helping us get to the boat and with explaining how to use the amenities on the boat once we got there. Pictures on the boat showcase Ron's family's history of running a tug boat business on the James. The bed was very comfortable, and everything on the houseboat worked well and was sized more like you would expect to see in a house than on a boat. Overall, a good example of the best of AirB+B i.e., the exact opposite of some boring hotel room where everything is the same as every other hotel room. I strongly recommend it.

This is a great place to stay. Captain Ron is friendly and knowledgeable. The boat house was comfy and clean. Be sure to stay for a one of a kind experience.

I can't put into words what an amazing time we had. Captain Ron is an excellent host and historian. The boat was comfortable, well stocked, and clean. He even put off his own plans to stay in town and make sure we were okay during some bad weather. I am so looking forward to staying again and sharing my experience with the rest of my family.

This was my first time using Airbnb, and it was the exact unique yet homey experience I was hoping for. My boyfriend and I were making a very quick trip to Richmond arriving in the evening and leaving in the early afternoon, but we didn't want to stay in a hotel room downtown. Ronald was extremely flexible and accommodating, and though we couldn't chat for long, I could tell he's full of stories and wisdom, and has lived quite the adventurous life. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the peace and quiet on his beauty of a houseboat!

How often can you say that you were hosted on a river by a legendary tugboat captain? Staying on Captain Ron's houseboat is an experience that we won't forget! The accommodations were rustic, yet warm and comfortable. The boat itself was a fascinating eclectic mix of nautical nostalgia. The setting is off the beaten path and is peaceful, yet full of interesting things to see, particularly a variety of birds and historic sites. Captain Ron himself is tremendously knowledgeable and a very friendly gentleman. If you have an opportunity to take the boat tour that is offered by one of the captains friends, take it! We are a family of four and had great fun. My 11-year-old son has particularly fond memories. Even though we stayed at a fancy hotel on the same trip, Captain Ron's was the highlight! We hope to visit again soon.

The oasis was a wonderful place to stay. The amenities were all provided, it truly has everything you need! The hospitality was great and the furniture was all very comfy! We love the place and will definitely stay again!

Great hosts! Would highly recommend their home as a place to stay! Very private and clean!

Marc & Betsy were amazing. We had a late checkin and they made sure we knew how to get there and how to get in. The space is perfect, quaint and cosy and it was nice that we could bring our furry children along. Will defiantly be staying here again in the future!

Very charming apartment. Easy to find and the hosts were responsive. Will definitely look into staying here again the next time I come through town!

I stayed here for one night with my dog and couldn't have been happier with the space and the entire process. Marc & Betsy were super helpful and went above and beyond my expectations with the space. My dog had a great time running around his outdoor space and he even had a dog bed to sleep on inside. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable, and the location was really convenient. I couldn't ask for more!

The Oasis Apartment was exactly that and was perfect for our stay. Marc and Betsy were extremely accommodating and provided us freedom and privacy.

mark and betsy’s place is great! to start with, the photos are 100% accurate. i met both mark and betsy, and they’re very friendly and helpful. we had some fun chats about the area, our respective IT gigs, and i also got to play with their 2 friendly dogs :P the location is close to everything i needed or wanted to access in the neighborhood. i enthusiastically recommend this oasis for anyone needing to stay in the area!

What a wonderful place to stay. The neighborhood is wonderful. An excellent place for early morning walks and runs. The accommodations are also very nice. We have stayed here several times and look forward to staying here again the next time we are in the area.

The apartment was very nice. Very clean and comfortable. The heated tile floor in the bathroom was a nice treat! Even with the kitchen not being a full kitchen we were able to cook meals for the entire week with the equipment provided. The bed was very comfortable and the towels were ultra plush! Would highly recommend!

The Brinley's have created a quiet and peaceful oasis in the lower level of their home that is more than you will get at most high quality hotels. I spent two full weeks there while attending intensives at Liberty U. and it was the perfect place to study, read, relax and get ready for the next day. It is so tastefully decorated, nothing has been overlooked. If you need to be in the Lynchburg area for anything, this is the best place for your hard-earned money. P.S. The bathroom floor is heated! :D

The apartment was very comfortable and private. I would definitely stay there again.

Steven and his wife are great hosts! This is a very comfortable , clean, newly renovated studio apartment. My son slept on the blow up mattress and said it was super cozy. We really enjoyed the space and for the price you it cant be beat. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the lynchburg area.

This is great for Liberty Intensives! Traffic was little to none. Your also in a family friendly neighborhood. The heated floors are a huge plus! Your close to Walmart and Kroger. The closest coffee shop is Third Wave Coffee. Over all is was a wonderful stay!

Host was helpful and kind. The location was great for us, we were visiting Lynchburg for a wedding downtown. This airbnb was about 15 minutes away from downtown. When traveling a kitchen is always very helpful for us. The kitchen was extremely clean and functional. The space was brand new, clean, great lighting. Bathroom was clean and wonderful with heated floors. we have a 6 month old, so we brought along a pack n'play and this space worked perfectly. Really appreciated the iron and ironing board. The rate is extremely affordable for such a nice place. There is even internet TV which is a treat for me while traveling. This space made our trip memorable! Thank you!!

A home away from home. A completely delightful stay.

Shanna was a perfect host. She responded to our emails quickly. The place was beautiful and comfy and located in a great area (it's surrounded by trees, but not far from town). She made sure we arrived safely, and she came down to the basement to meet us in person. She was very friendly and pleasant to talk to. My husband & I will definitely coming back to stay there.

We really enjoyed our stay. Very beautiful property in a semi-country setting. Picture window shows some very nice woods. Very spacious apartment/room. Just as described.

I had another perfect stay at Shanna's place. My week was so comfortable with a place that felt like home. Once again, everything was clean, quiet, and accommodating. These hosts have excellent communication and are super quick to meet any request or need. I appreciate these hosts anticipating any need I might have (like making sure I had a flashlight when thunderstorms were going crazy).

The house was very nice, just as the pics show. Host was very good about communicating clearly and quickly. Was a great weekend getaway from home and was close enough for us to go see Natural Bridge the following day before heading back. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone.

This airbnb is absolutely beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay. 7-8 min drive to LU. Very clean, very private, very spacious, very secure, very quiet. Amenities +++++ Recommended for 1-4 people. Will definitely stay again. Towels much cleaner smelling than a hotel.

Very nice place to stay at. There was a little stick bug on my car when I left. He must of been the butler. The bed was extremely comfortable and the sheets. If your looking for a place, stay here.

Absolutely loved this place! House in central to everything! Each place took us only about 8 minutes to get to and Tamara was a wonderful host! We will definitely be back!

Tamara is a great host and the house is as cozy as pictured. The home is located 10 minutes from just about everything but yet nestled in a quiet area of the city. One thing to note is there isn't a coffee pot but there is a coffee shop a 5 minute walk away. I will definitely stay here again.

Tamara was very clear and punctual. I was glad to test up in a tidy and cozy spot. Very comfortable bed!

塔玛拉是一个优秀的主持人!入住和退房时间是非常灵活和Tamara总是愿意提供帮助。房子很干净,只是描述愉快。

我们在塔玛拉的经验是真正精彩。我们来到一个雨天的下午,她确信我们有一个很好的停车位,并用一把雨伞迎接我们。公寓是宠儿,整洁,是完美的接近所有我们想看看,做市中心的事情。塔玛拉使自己提供的建议和任何我们可能需要的。我们非常感谢我们住在塔玛拉的地方。

I was a little confusing to find it was on a side street off another street, which my GPS just didn't understand. Very easy check in, good communication! Parking is awesome! Right in front of the home and you'll receive a Parking pass for your stay. Everything was very clean and welcoming. It was a perfect place to stay for two people, I wouldn't recommend more. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Everything went really smooth and we enjoyed our stay!! Only two things that were a little disappointing, 1 being the TV connection wasn't working and it wouldn't load a program to watch. And the 2nd being, the bedroom window is facing the alley way and it can get extremely noisy. We were woken up a couple times just from street noise but mainly in the morning when the garage truck came, sounded like the whole house was gonna collapse. Overall I'm still very happy with our stay!

Perfect location close to everything. Tamara was quick to respond to questions.
