Easy, no hassle getaway. The tee pee is very neat and Angela happily provided detailed directions on how to reach it. This place is perfect for a romantic evening or just a fun weekend of camping.

This was an incredible stay for us as a family, we had an amazing time in the tipi and also there are great things to do at the farm! We would totally come back anytime. Thank you for creating this special place!

Picturesque. Quaint, humble, unassuming cozy getaway surrounded by natural beauty. gorgeous property, excellent accommodations, wonderful inside and out. Great area with animals to pet, horses to ride, fish to catch, trails to walk or a hammock to lay in by the fire. Highly recommend staying here. We stayed for our first wedding anniversary and it was the perfect romantic getaway.

This is an amazing place to stay for a night, a weekend, or even a week. Everything you need is provided from water to wash dishes to firewood for both the fire pit and the wood stove and everything in between. If you are a first time camper, this is a great introduction since there is no running water or flushing toilet. If you are a seasoned camper but don't like to sleep on the ground this is for you!!! This is literally a perfect spot for anyone looking to commune with the outdoors and also be close to fun amenities and destinations. We took a day trip to Natural Bridge and after spending the day awed by a natural beauty, we were able to come back and sit by a fire and listen to all of the creatures around us. The tipi itself is just amazing...every little detail has been considered and it really made for an amazing weekend. I will most definitely be telling others about this and hope to come back again some day!!!

We had a little bit of a rocky start with gps leading us the wrong way. They had started the fire for us but we were late and it had gone out. We are used to wood stoves though and had no problem getting it going. We stayed here on our wedding night and it was cold but it warmed up in no time! The out house wasn't too bad just cold and it does have its own light. We had a white kitty visit us which was a nice surprise and we did have a bird sneak in and right out again. We had a great evening with some drinks and some games that were in the room with us. The bed was comfy, the pillows were great, you do have to feed the stove a couple times during the night but the bed keeps you plenty warm and cozy. It was a great nights sleep with that back to nature camping feel but the comfort of a great bed.

Our short time at the tipi was absolutely wonderful! It is located just outside of Lynchburg and was just the ticket when we needed a break but didn't have the time to wander far! We had a trail ride on their wonderful horses that was very fun and relaxing. We really enjoyed (almost)disconnecting even though we were basically still embedded in Lynchburg. It is very convenient and located 5 minutes from Liberty and this fact brings some traffic and airplane noise with it. This didn't bother us at all. We had a nice fire and enjoyed our evening. The tipi is great. The hosts were wonderful. The outhouse was clean. There is a shower with water warmed by the sun. It was great. There is electricity in the tipi. There is a gas grill. You might want to bring a lantern to eat by. Enjoy!

Perfect little get away! The location is great, right next to the farm and pond while still having all the privacy you need! Everyone on the property was extremely helpful and friendly. Horseback riding was peaceful and easy! All around diamond in the ruff!!

We loved our stay in the teepee! What an amazing and gorgeous place. We spent the evening admiring the on-site lake and farm animals and in the morning, we took a lovely trail ride with several of the on-site horses. The bed was comfortable, the bathhouse charming and all needs were provided for. The ultimate glamping experience for a horse lover!

Bill & Yvonne’s guest cottage was better than we had hoped. First, the location is just what we wanted, rural, quiet and 30-35 minutes from everything. Quick drive to Yorktown, Williamsburg, Hampton, and Newport News. We didn’t want to be in the hustle and bustle so perfect spot. Second, the cottage itself was wonderful, right on the river. My children said it was better than Disneyland. They got up early every morning to fish and crab. They fished and crabbed every evening as my wife and I watched the sunsets. We kayaked in the evening. The kids caught croaker (nice first night’s dinner), sea bass, eels, and blue crabs. They explored, swam in the pool, watched osprey (amazing nest right on the property) and had the time of their life. The cottage has the largest TV my children have seen…but they never turned it on. It was a unanimous vote to cancel an overnight trip to Virginia Beach to stay another night. We can’t wait to find an excuse to travel across the country again to stay there. Third, Bill & Yvonne are the most wonderful people, Southern Hospitality at the finest. We were treated like the favorite relatives. My children were happily spoiled by the attention. Simply put, I became a hero to my family for this booking. Thank you so much Bill & Yvonne.

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!

We had a wonderful time at Bill and Yvonne's cottage. They were very friendly and welcoming right from the start of our stay. This was the first trip for two of our dogs and they were a bit of a handful. We were so thankful that Bill and Yvonne were so understanding and good-natured! The kayaks and pool were great fun! Thank you for a wonderful family trip that will forever be remembered!

If we are ever back in the area - we would definitely stay here again! We originally booked one night and ended up staying two - see other review for full feedback. Thanks again!

This trip was awesome. We were looking for a relaxing get away and this place was just perfect. There's so many fun things to do on their property, you don't need to go anywhere else ! We watched the sunset on the kayaks, got in the hot tub, and during the day we got to swim in the pool! I will defiantly like to come back again ! :)

Bill & Yvonne had a very accurate description of the property, and amneties. The house was super cute, everything was clean, and the property was very peaceful. Their communication was great, and the Zane who was the housekeeper was super friendly.

Yes, the description was accurate. We relaxed at the home more than exploring the neighborhood.

We never had the privilege of bumping into Bill & Yvonne, but they made our entrance and exit seamless and easy. Whether you are looking for a nice nature get away, or a great place to come back to after a day at the historic sites nearby, I highly recommend booking this place! It's a spectacular little retreat!

We had a very enjoyable stay in Jill's place. It is very comfortable and in a great location and she gave very detailed directions about how to get in and where to park (street or lot with permit). A snack was waiting for us when we got in!

THE DONUTS were amazing, thank you so much for leaving them out. first, i was only in richmond for an evening, arrived after dark and left before the sun rose. what i saw of the space was beautiful, just as the pictures showed. it was a cold blustery night and the fire place was very cozy while i sat back and watched tv. the bed was so very comfortable, and i'm about to purchase the same pillows that were there, they were that great. will be coming through town again in the summer and if the space is available, i would love love love to be able to stay here.

Jill is a great hostess and the loft is as described. Greeted with 6 pack of artisan donuts. Bed is huge and comfy. Location is great. Would definitely stay again.

Jill was awesome! She was very nice and communicative throughout the whole process. She gave suggestions on food and had welcome treats upon arrival. She has a lovely place that has all the amenities of home and in a great location close to everything. Highly recommend her place and will definitely look to book her again when in RVA!

Jill was an excellent host. She checked in with us early, and was very accommodating when we moved up our arrival time at the last minute. Condo opened directly onto street. While the apartment had many large windows, we did not open the blinds because any passerby could look directly into our private living space. Windows abutting the alley allowed neighboring building an unobstructed view of our private living space. Condo was very quiet and kitchen included great appliances. Bedroom was dark, quiet, and bedding was high quality.

We were super impressed by the location and cleanliness of this loft. Really cool place to stay.

Extremely warm place. Great location!

Jill's condo worked out great for us to have a splendid weekend in Richmond. It is in a fabulous location and Jill was a wonderful host. She was very communicative and had sugar shack donuts waiting for us upon arrival. We would definitely come back and stay at Jill's place the next time we want to get away to Richmond.

Fiona & Family's apartment in Carytown was exactly what we needed for a great experience in Richmond. They were very friendly and the apartment was incredibly well stocked. I know they disclosed the noise from upstairs in the listing, but some reviewers had said they didn't even notice it. I will say, as someone not used to being in an apartment with anyone above me, it was pretty loud and kept me up for quite a while. Otherwise, it was a great experience and I'd love to stay here again if in Richmond. Highly recommend!

can't beat the location if you want to be close to Cary Street, but want a quiet space. Nice residential street, good bathroom, shower, and kitchen, the bed is very comfortable, and Fiona even supplied a carafe of orange juice!

Fiona was extremely gracious and very easy to connect with. The apartment is absolutely adorable. A cozy private little oasis! It was sparklingly clean and complete with little conveniences like soaps and shampoo in case you needed anything. There was tea in the kitchen and other cooking essential should a guest choose to cook. Fiona gave me loads of great recommendations where to eat and interesting places to visit. An excellent stay and lovely host!

Let me first say this was my very first Air B&B encounter. Let me say secondly, IT ROCKED!!!!!!! I could not have had expected a better experience. Fiona and her family were very accommodating and SUPER friendly. The first night, I was asked if I wanted to have dinner with Fiona. If I was not so gosh darn busy with work, and it was a vacation trip, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN her up on her offer. She was VERY knowledgable about the area and offered AWESOME food options within walking distance of the place. Inside the basement apartment was super CLEAN and nice. You walk into a little sitting area with two chairs, dining table with a small TV equipped with FIOS and a small desk. To the right is a full sized WD and then the kitchen with organic OJ (YUM!) and milk and creamer for the keurig. She also offers some minor breakfast options, but I did not utilize. To the left is an amazing shower with plenty of hot water (again organic shampoo/conditioner and soaps) with super soft towels. Finally, you go back to the bedroom with a SUPER comfortable bed with nice comfy sheets. This is a basement apartment so there is some noise above, but I TOTALLY DID NOT MIND and they were in bed by like 9ish. They have an adorable dog too!! I would recommend this place to any couple wanting to have a great time in Carytown or a business person needing a great place to lay there head in the Richmond area. Street parking, which was a non-issue, but if you are not from a big city you better practice your parallel parking. Will be back to see this place again!

Such a wonderful place to rest, rejuvenate and relax! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything one needs to cook, including a stove and full sized fridge. The living space is comfortable and perfect for watching some tv or reading s book while curled up in the comfy chairs. The bedroom is so soothing and calm and the bed is just right. The apt is just a short walk to Cary Street with resataurants and shops. Super close to the museum of fine art! Parking on the street was not a problem at all. Fiona has created a fabulous retreat! I can't wait to come back for my next visit to Richmond.

Fiona's place is just as she describes. It's quaint, beautiful and she is very friendly and makes communication easy. We will definitely stay again.

We were made to feel very at home. Keith showed us around the apartment and made sure we knew where the breakfast foods were (there is a small, full kitchen and he and Fiona provided milk, OJ, and creamer for our coffee, as well as yogurt, plus granola and cereal in the cupboard) and how to operate the Keurig coffee maker. The apartment was very comfortable, and the brand new shower was a delight. Although we only stayed for one night, I would happily book for a longer stay knowing that I would have access to that full kitchen. The bed was comfortable and there was a small but serviceable sitting area. Be aware that this is a basement apartment and therefore natural light is lacking. This was not a surprise, as it is clearly described in the listing, and it actually made sleeping in very easy! But it is something to be aware of if you prefer a light and airy space. There is, at present, no A/C (although I believe this is changing soon), but we were provided several fans and it was very comfortable. And yes, you can hear people walking above. Also, not a surprise, as Fiona clearly notes that she and her family live directly above the space. It was not bad and certainly did not prevent us from getting to sleep. Lastly, the apartment is located one block behind the main drag of Carytown, which is full of fun shops, restaurants, and the beautiful Byrd Theatre. It could not be more conveniently located. I will definitely book with Fiona and Keith the next time I am coming to Richmond. They were wonderful hosts, were very responsive both personally and via text, and state VERY clearly the apartment's pluses and deficits. If guests are surprised by what they are getting, then they did not read Fiona's description.

Fiona and Family were wonderful hosts. They saw to it that we had everything we needed and were comfortable. The neighborhood is quirky in a good way. It has a funky Richmond vibe (sort of a cross between the Village and Charleston, SC) and there are numerous restaurants and shops within walking distance. The apartment was clean and comfortable with everything you need for a comfortable stay at an affordable price. Ample, free street parking is available and the apartment is in a good central location for exploring the Richmond, VA area. Two thumbs up!

The place was absolutely beautiful and Red was great!!! Overall thrilled with the place and location!

Such a great place! Pictures really don't do it justice. The place couldn't have been more charming! Red was easy to communicate with and very quick to respond.

A beautiful flat. I loved the look. Very spacious!

Red's apartment is absolutely perfect for LU intensive students. Easy to get to. Like being at home!

Great location, very quiet, very pretty apt! Thank you, Red!

Perfect, you won't be sorry. Perfect location. Did not want to leave.

Red's place was easily the best airbnb we've stayed in. Great for a couple or parents with a child, or if you're just passing through town and need a place to relax for the night (like we did). Her sense of decorating is impeccable, the walk-in shower is an absolute delight, and the high ceilings and big windows make it feel instantly cozy and classy. We went downtown for dinner, than grabbed some beer and enjoyed the house's giant patio. Thanks again, Red!

This stay was fantastic. Red was a great host. The place was super clean and so elegant. I loved being here.

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely, romantic long weekend at Vicki's guest house. Vicki was friendly and attentive, but she gave us plenty of privacy. Her attention to detail was on par with most upscale hotels. The guest house was spotless and the interior appeared to be very recently renovated. We loved the rustic layout and the absence of TV. We enjoyed beautiful drives in the surrounding countryside as well as the surprising selection of restaurants within an hour of the guest house. We have already recommended Vicki's place to friends and family and will definitely be back.

Vicki and Chris were very welcoming. Their guest house is adorable. Lovely decor and very quiet and peaceful. The beautiful wide open countryside was amazing. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic weekend. The house came complete with helpful tips on restaurants and directions and our hostess was very welcoming. From providing a selection of coffee and teas in the kitchen to stocking the bathroom with toiletries (even extra toothbrushes!), Vicki had clearly put a lot of thought into making her guests as comfortable as possible. The location was as private and peaceful as promised and was perfect for our quiet weekend getaway. In short, the house was perfect and we would gladly recommend it.

Vicki was a great host! She made us feel very comfortable, hand-made us a great thank you card and gave us all kinds of great ideas for exploring the surrounding area. Plus she let us catch a bunch of fish in her pond:-)

We were so lucky to have Vicki as our host during our trip to Virginia! Her guest house is beautiful and is decorated with lovely quilts made by her and her mother---and we were pleasantly surprised by all the little treats: coffee, candy, tea, and a lovely handmade card welcoming us! We were there for a family wedding, and it was so nice to have a comfortable little getaway to come and go from wedding festivities. Vicki was also very accommodating when we asked if my partner's sister could stay with us a night. Overall a wonderful experience, I highly recommend staying with Vicki if you are visiting VA. Also she is very helpful knowing the ins and outs of Air B&B if you want to get started yourself!

I went to stay in Vicki's guest house for a quiet weekend retreat. And I got just that. It's beautiful, quiet, comfortable and very relaxing. Vicki and her husband were wonderful hosts and made themselves available for anything I might have needed. Communication was top-notch! While I didn't go outside much, there are some nice places to walk around, and the house is right next to a river. I look forward to staying here again sometime soon.

My girlfriend and I stayed in Vicki and Chris's lovely and peaceful guest house for a much-needed getaway, and were delighted with the care and thoughtfulness we were shown while in their beautiful place. The house was warm, inviting, well-furnished, and spotless. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was very handy. Vickie went out of her way to make us feel welcome, with an attention to detail that included a beautiful, hand-made fabric welcome note for us to keep as a souvenir of a perfect weekend. We will definitely be coming back, soon!

We had a great stay. The house is in a beautiful area and it's in very good condition. The location was also convenient; it's far enough out of the city to be quiet, but just a short drive to downtown Richmond and Ashland. We enjoyed talking to Vicki and her husband and would be happy to stay here again.

I had a wonderful stay in Chestnut Cottage. Lisa went out of her way to accommodate a very last minute booking, even taking off early from work to make sure everything was ready. This was a lovely place to spend the night, I would certainly go back again and recommend it highly.

The best host family ever! Love staying at this cottage!

My friend and I are both distance learning students through Liberty University, we booked our stay with Lisa last minute to visit campus for the weekend. She was very pleasant and helpful throughout the booking process. Upon arrival Lisa and her husband met us with a warm greeting and gave us a quick tour of the place. After along drive from Michigan we were able to get some much needed sleep with the peace of knowing that we were amongst good company. The Cabin was very nice and clean, along with the other facilities. We plan to stay here again in our future visits to Liberty and would recommend this place to other patrons. This is a perfect place to stay for Liberty Students seeking to visit campus, or others who are seeking a quite and reputable place to stay in the mountains.

Lisa's cottage is the perfect place for a peaceful retreat while visiting the Shenandoah valley. Everything is spotless and tasteful and the cottage has its own quarters in the main house, with a private bathroom and living/dining area. It's the little details that will make your stay special : soft linens, an electric blanket and modern appliances in the kitchen. Highly recommended!

Lisa met me when I arrive and showed me around the place. She was very respectful of my privacy, highly responsive to my needs and just a delightful individual. I will always make this my first choice in any future stays in Lynchburg.

I'm sorry that my schedule did not allow for me to interact with my hosts very much, but the cottage and the fabulous bonus lower level were LOVELY! It met my needs beautifully and was so reasonably priced. The taste in decorating is great and it is quiet but minutes away from activities. Would highly reccomend!

This accomadation is in a great location and has all the comforts of home. The host make every effort to anticipate your needs. I would highly recommend this property.

Staying in the cottage was fantastic!! It was quiet and great to relax after intense classwork all day throughout the week. It was adorable and cutely decorated. And there was cute 1920-esqe music playing that just made my mornings cheery. Lisa and her husband were kind and welcoming. There was even juice, organic bananas, fair trade bagels, coffee, tea, and snacks left for my personal (URL HIDDEN) really was an unexpected nicety!! The bed is SOOO comfortable too!! It really must be a thing of God to open up their home to complete strangers and be such an immense blessing in the process!! I will definitely be back for my last Liberty intensive sometime in the future! Thanks for being so awesome you two!! And you have a beautiful home!

Bill and Lissa have a very sweet set up. We really enjoyed their place. Great location...walk to restaurants. Love the kitchen with Keurig and goodies in the fridge! Thanks Bill and Lissa!

Absolutely fantastic! Private entrance, private balcony, wonderful kitchen, and large bedroom (amazing bed!), with all the "little things" taken care of perfectly, from wi-fi and coffee maker instructions written clearly to tons of towels. Really wonderful place. Bill was a great host, communicating clearly before trip, making sure we had what we needed, and then not minding that we wanted to "come and go" without any real interaction (we had a lot planned). When we arrived, the fridge was stocked with enough goods for two days worth of breakfasts, including bagels and cream cheese and fresh fruit. If this wasn't enough, Bill and Lisa have made sure to stock there place with plenty of literature (and maps) for things to do in Richmond. Highly recommended!

This was our first experience with AirBnB, and we really enjoyed it. Bill and Lissa were great hosts, and the place was perfect. Thanks so much Bill for the breakfast items and coffee. This was a great area just to walk around and sight-see. Would highly recommend Bill and Lissa's place.

We had yet another wonderful time with Bill and Lissa. Their location in the Fan is one of our favorites. Can't wait to come back and stay again.

We had a really lovely stay at Bill's. He was very accomodating to our needs. We didn't have a car and he came and picked us up from the bus station even though we arrived late at night! The apartment is beautiful, very modern and the breakfast was amazing! It was nice having the balcony too to relax on. The only slight downside is the location - it's quite far from the main part of town so as we were without a car and only staying for 2 nights we didn't have time to walk over there. But we did explore Carytown which I recommend - some lovely boutiques and restaurants!

Bill and Lissa were the perfect hosts. They fully appreciate Richmond and it was fun to share their enthusiasm. They were available as much or as little as anyone would like. The space was private and immaculately clean. The porch was a great amenity. The bed was comfortable with great linens. The kitchen was stocked with goodies and all needed appliances/utensils/dishes. The location is centrally located to everything. Will definitely return!

We were made to feel welcome even before we arrived. Questions were promptly answered by email and we were called while we were on the road to let us know that we could check in early if we needed. Everything was as described in the listing or better.The breakfast supplies were good and numerous. The location was perfect for us to walk to the UCI Championship races by day and to dinner in the evening. If you are a cyclist, take your bike. Richmond is bike friendly.

I had a great stain Richmond. Bill's place made it easy to get work done and have easy access to the city.

This place was perfect for my girls weekend in Richmond. Highly recommend!

Alex had excellent communication both to ensure the space would meet our needs before booking and all along the process. Very proactive, courteous and professional. The space itself was beautiful and I've never stayed anywhere with so many amenities for guests. There were plentiful toiletries and condiments in the fridge. The overall experience was excellent. Keep in mind that this is an urban location so there is a little street noise.

This was possibly our best AirBnB experience yet -- incredibly gracious hosts (mailed back a phone charger I left the next day, wouldn't let me pay postage), beautiful space with tons of light and beautiful industrial design details, two good-sized bedrooms, everything you could want in the kitchen and bathroom, and all the wireless/tv etc working great. There was some street noise on Saturday night that woke us up once or twice, but pretty minor (it didn't even wake our baby, who was sleeping in the front bedroom) and the location is an easy, short drive from everything we wanted to see. We even used a bunch of A&A's restaurant recommendations and were really happy with them. This is an incredible deal for a great space with great hosts.

I stayed here with a work colleague and it was great. We were in Richmond for an event at VCU and everything we needed was within walking distance for the most part. Adrian and Alex were very welcoming and the apartment is beautiful and very spacious. Only complaint is that the room on the street side was very noisy at night, which made it pretty hard to get a good night sleep.

This was a wonderful spot: very spacious, well-appointed, and conveniently located. I would recommend to anyone!

This was a wonderful apartment, very spacious and beautiful natural light! Really nice location, and close to great restaurants and shops. Wish our stay could have been longer to enjoy this space more!

Loved it! Exactly as pictured and described. Very comfortable apartment in a well-located, hip, urban neighborhood. Walking distance to some great restaurants! Great to have the Kroger's grocery right across the street. Alex & Adrian thought of everything in furnishing this lovely home ~ even a first aid kit, laundry detergent, lovely soaps, hand lotions, extra toothbrushes. Lots of attention to detail! They are the perfect hosts in that they're attentive in responding quickly to texts if you need to ask a question. We felt very much at home and would definitely return on a future visit to wonderful Richmond.

This was my first airbnb experience, and I loved it! I felt like I was right at home :)

Our host Ron, met us shortly after arriving at the houseboat. He was very friendly and told us a lot about the history of the area as well as made some great restaurant recommendations. His driving suggestions saved us lots of money on tolls too! We absolutely loved the coziness and set up of the boat. The bedroom had fresh, comfy linens and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, including coffee. The location was very private and quiet too. We can't wait to return!

A magical three days on the river in Ron and Ruth’s delightful houseboat is the perfect get-a-way – reviving body and soul. The boat is comfortable and the setting is quiet. We spent our time between the top deck, watching the river go by and reading in the comfortable quarters below that became our home away from home. The river flows through wilderness, large trees line the banks on both sides and an occasional sturgeon leaps out of the water to the amazement the one who is lucky enough to see it. Ron and Ruth are hospitable – helping when called upon and eager to share the river they love with guests. We were treated to an excursion on the James with Captain Ron at the wheel and assisted by 1st mate, Ruth; his knowledge of the area is immense. The James River tells a rich story – Ron describes it as the place where American began. Do yourself a favor and book a stay in paradise. Mary and John September 1, 2015

Really special place. I had a great time!!

This houseboat experience was absolutely amazing! My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. The houseboat is cozy and comfortable. It has a full kitchen and a nice dinner table. The bathroom is great and the sleeping area is comfortable. Views from the decks are breathtaking! The marina is quiet and secluded; yet, it's only about 7 miles from a major freeway. Everyone made us feel welcomed! Captain Ron is very welcoming and genuine. In addition, he is very responsive!! This is a very quiet and trainquil place that I would like to visit again!

We had a fantastic stay! Captain Ron is very welcoming, and the boat and setting were amazing. We had everything we needed, and we were able to just relax. If we come back to Richmond for another overnight stay we will definitely try to book here again!

Our stay on the GiaMaria was FABULOUS! We expected a fun time but got much more than we anticipated. The first night we entertained guests and had wine out on the front deck. The next morning it was coffee on the deck at sun up. Just relaxed and enjoyed the ever-changing river and shoreline. Ron was so very helpful in helping us feel at home on the boat. And what a great boat it is! Solid as a rock, even in the wind. The queen sized bed was very comfortable and we were quite cozy for our entire stay. Ron's knowledge of the James River is really without equal...he told us so many interesting stories that we might have to come back just to hear more! While we were there, we also took a boat ride with Tom Lewis, a local gentleman who brought us around to see ospreys, cormorants, and even a bald eagle! Be sure to take the tour if you get the chance! All in all it was a wonderful stay and one that we will never forget. Highly recommended!!

Beautiful, safe, quiet setting and comfortable, cozy, clean boat. We loved sitting on the top deck and just watching the birds and river go by. Easy access to Richmond and also a good Italian restaurant a couple miles away if you want to stay away from the city. Highly recommended.

Capt Ron is great. He was full of history of the area. The boat house was beautiful. The view was incredible. It was so nice to sit up on the deck with a glass of wine in the evenings & a cup of tea innthe mornings.

Jennifer was great and the place was very nice. If you are looking for a quiet rural getaway this is the place for you. View is great and the cottage was very nice.

We booked this lovely cottage with less than 24 hours notice and Jennifer replied promptly. I really appreciated that as we like to be very spontaneous when we travel sometimes. Very nice cottage , comfy beds, good wifi, lovely smelling bath salts, and the VIEW is to die for..... so bucolic and peaceful. We were lucky with the spring-like weather. I was disappointed that the peacocks seemed shy ... we only saw them when we arrived ,,, maybe it was because of our dog which by the way was welcomed, too.... This place is very pet friendly. Far from the road so your dog can wander freely. We couldn't get the tv to work but we didn't care about that with such good wifi and the lovely bottle of wine Jennifer left for us. We didn't use the sauna or hot tub.... I would only add that a detailed instruction sheet on the tv, sauna and hot tub would have been nice. would have loved to stay longer. We didn't bring any groceries ... ran down to the riverview market in the am for some stuff. There is another market towards the west on the road,,,, Mountain market, maybe. Would like to try Bare Necessities in Nellysford next time... it was closed sun and mon when we were there. We ate dinner at Devils Backbone brewery.... it was average. Thanks, Jennifer,,, nice to meet you and thanks for letting us see the b and b, too.

We had a wonderful weekend at Fairview! Originally we booked the cottage on the property, but Jennifer needed to get some repairs done and upgraded us to the main house. It was a fabulous experience! We explored the breweries nearby, then came back to the house at night where we cooked dinner and enjoyed our surroundings. There was a friendly cat, a few peacocks, and so many cows! The views are breathtaking and the entire experience was a refreshingly relaxing getaway.

Our hostess was a phone call away. We were free to explore the grounds without being micro managed. We were gratefully isolated in a charming pastoral retreat complete with peacocks.

We loved our night at the cottage! It was so cozy and perfect. Jennifer was beyond hospitable coming over pretty late when we couldn't figure out how to relight the pilot light in the fireplace. It also has a wood burning stove which ended up being the best source of heat for the bitter cold night we were there. There's plenty to do around the area including loads of wine tastings and breweries. We would definitely recommend to friends and anyone who wants a quiet getaway and we will definitely be back!!

We had a fantastic weekend at Jennifer's cottage. I only wished we had more time to sit and enjoy the property and views. The cottage was exactly as described and I agree with all the positive reviews that lead me to book this property. I look forward to bringing my family back soon.

First, the good. 1. We arrived at the cottage on Thursday night and fell in love with the location. The cows in the fields, the mountains in the background, the expansive grounds were just what we needed for a relaxing weekend away with our 16 month old son. 2, We entered the cabin to find a quaint, rustic and cozily decorated space, with books, a TV with Netflix, Hulu, and a DVD player. 3. Freshly made beds and cozy couches made the space very comfortable. 4. A basket of bath salts and body wash in the bathroom were also a nice touch. 5. A sweet cat, pigeon and peacock wandered the grounds, friendly and allowing our son to chase them throughout the yard! 6. Jennifer also left a pack and play in the room for our son, so it was nice not to have to worry about bringing that! Next, the not so good. 1. Our son found a mouse trap. Luckily it was the sticky kind, but we looked over to find it stuck to his hand! We had no idea there were mouse traps in the home, and feel we should have been informed. We definitely didn't expect the house to be baby-proofed, but a heads up that there were traps or other unsafe conditions when the owner knew we'd be traveling with a baby IS expected. 2. There were multiple wasps in the cabin, some entering through cracks above the doorway. We ended up killing 5-6 wasps in the cabin throughout the stay, even after spraying. They were entering the house through a crack above the door frame, we think. Someone was supposed to come out to spray one morning, but did not come until later that night. We did not feel comfortable sitting on the porches due to the wasps flying around us. Jennifer was very gracious when we explained our disappointments. Her son was also polite and helpful when he came out to spray for wasp. She has offered us a stay in November to make it up to us, and we look forward to leaving a much more positive review at that time!

Just got back from the Charming Cottage. Stayed 2 night's. Cost the same as an hotel stay. It was so,beautiful and the view's were priceless! We had an great time. We also enjoyed going to an local water-powered mill ( Woodson's Mill ). We really liked the communication with Jennifer. Quick answer's and clear information about the place. My family and I would most definitely recommend this place; and will gladly stay again for our next trip to Virginia..

Virginia's place was very nice. She was a Jewel and helped in every way. Staying on the Lake was Superb. Having the pier was so convenient. Either you go for Play or Solitude your goal will be accomplished. Selfishly my wife and I are tempted to not give a review so that we could keep this special place all to OURSELVES! :) Fabulous!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Writer's Cottage. My family chose this place as a gift to me to celebrate my 59th birthday. I love both kayaking and birding and it was wonderful for both. Virginia is a wonderful hostess. She had a fresh-baked apple peach strudel pie that was delicious as a happy birthday welcome when we arrived. The setting is beautiful, the accomodations are comfortable and lovingly decorated. Virginia achieved the perfect balance of being helpful and friendly and also giving you the space to enjoy your traveling companions. I would highly recommend the Writer's Cottage and it's host.

Virginia is a great host who tries hard to make her guests feel comfortable. Her house is immaculate and elegant.

Virginia was a lovely hostess who went out of her way to make us feel at home. The setting was beautiful and serene. I loved sitting on the deck in the morning with my coffee and watching the fish jump. Perfection!

Great experience in Writer's Cottage. Virginia is such a kind and welcome person. The house is quite cozy and comfortable. The decoration in the house is interesting, and rooms look better than the photos. She also made many desserts for us to taste. The tarts is quite delicious!!

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 is an incredibly peaceful place and Virginia is an excellent host. We highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a peaceful place to unwind and disconnect. The dock by the lake is so peaceful and we spent many hours there when not out on the kayaks. Virginia was so lovely and has left no stone unturned on creating a relaxing atmosphere for her guests!

The Writer's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay at Smith Mountain Lake. Ginny was a wonderful host and made us feel very at home. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and all the helpful hints Ginny gave us regarding places to eat. I can't wait to read one of her books!

Great little hideaway, about 20-30 minutes from Richmond. Highly recommended.

Very cool spot! Highly recommended

Marc & Betsy's Oasis was amazing. When we arrived they greeting us with smiles and helped us get acquainted with the AirBnB. They are very knowledgeable about the area and can suggest a variety of things. They made the stay feel like we were right at home. I wish I could have stayed longer! If travelling to the area I highly suggest picking this one.

The place was very beautiful and they were very responsive and helpful. Great location near Shortpump.

Marc and Betsy's place was great. We had a wonderful night stay at there beautifully and uniquely decorated place. Marc and Betsy were very helpful and had everything laid out conveniently for our use. They even had a couple sweet dogs. It was super close to the mall and just a little drive to the downtown area. It was great meeting them both and would definitely suggest it to someone staying in the area.

Wonderful! Everything you need.

Fantastic. The space was large and well furnished. Betsy, Marc's wife accommodated us as Marc was out of town and did a fantastic job. Beds were comfortable, amenties like towels were greatly appreciated. We didn't interact much as we were out and about but I had a very positive experience. I would gladly stay there again on another trip

they say there's no place like home... not really. i felt more home at Marc & Betsy's place than i do in general at my place in Manhattan. :) very spacious and clean, and it has everything you need and even more! don't waste another minute & penny and just pick Betsy's place cos as soon as you get there, you'll be as glad as i was with your choice!

Our experience at Tamara's was truly wonderful. We arrived on a rainy afternoon and she made sure we had a good parking spot and met us with an umbrella. The apartment was darling and tidy and was in perfect proximity to all of the things we wanted to see and do downtown. Tamara made herself available for recommendations and anything we may have needed. We are so grateful we stayed at Tamara's place.

Great, cozy little place in the middle of RVA. Pet-friendly so my corgi could take the trip with us, and he seemed to appreciate the snacks that Tamara left for him. Highly recommended!

Perfekt läge med närhet till det mesta. Tamara var snabb på att svara på frågor.

Tamara was great! She was accessible if I needed anything. She communicated well and had a great welcome video upon my arrival.

Tamara was a great host and this was a great place to stay. I booked very last minute and was grateful she responded so quickly. I would definitely stay here again!

My mother and I stopped off in Richmond on a road trip, and Tamara's place was a great one-night stay! It was close to everything downtown, but more importantly felt very cozy inside. Very well decorated and comfortable, perfect for two.

Richmond is such a great town - lots of good places - The Black Sheep, Quirk, Charm School, Forest Hill Farmers Market, Shindigz, murals, waterfront. And #cozyrow served as the perfect homebase. Highly recommend!

Tamara's place was absolutely adorable! It's a small, cozy apartment with lots of charm and cute decor. Very clean, super organized and incredibly charming. Tamara was not able to meet us when we arrived, but she sent us a very detailed video tour of the space, including information on where everything was located throughout the home. As a host, she was very communicative via Airbnb and text message. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. It's near VCU so there were a good amount of college kids around and the space is walking distance from a number of food options. We would definitely stay again next time we are in Richmond.

Staying with Shela was my first AirBnB experience and I enjoyed her and her husband's hospitality immensely! The living space was immaculate, gorgeous, modern, and I felt like I had known them for years! They were incredibly helpful in terms of transportation, directions, and restaurant options. I urge anyone reading this review to book immediately at Shela's... Her listing is the BEST option you have in Richmond, hands down!

Absolute pleasure staying with Shela and Dale. The room and house are gorgeous, way nicer and cleaner than any hotel, very gracious hosts. Unfortunately we had to head out early, so we had to cut our conversation short, but if you have the time, I highly suggest chatting with these folks, they were wonderful. Highly recommended!

Shela was absolutely wonderful. She was so kind & welcoming. Her place was beautiful, very clean & conveniently located. She made you feel at home, I will definitely be back to stay.

Shelia and Dale have a beautiful home and the Airbnb space is exceptional. High ceilings, heated floors, and more space than you can imagine! The space was very clean, really nice quality sheets, comfortable mattress and the ambiance was relaxing. This is in a great area in Richmond close to anything you are looking for. Highly recommended for business or pleasure!

My first airbnb was absolutely splendid. room and bathroom a designer's dream,Shela and Dale were the perfect hosts, interesting,in formative , gracious and lovely. Went out of their way to accomodate me and my dog. Cannot say enough good things. Susan. July 2015

I absolutely loved this house! Shela & her husband made us feel very welcome. Was in awe from the cleanliness. Room is even more gorgeous in person. Highly recommend.

The house is beautiful inside, everything about the home was amazing to me. Shela and Dale are wonderful beings. Even though, we didn't get a chance to talk much, but for the small amount we did, I find our host to be great! The room my boyfriend and I stayed in was modern yet cozy. I didn't want to leave honestly. I recommend others to stay.

This tipi is a treasure. We stayed on our honeymoon and it was our favorite destination of 5 air BNB spots. It is peaceful, comfortable, romantic, and adventurous all at the same time. The hosts are hospitable and friendly, giving you the space or community that you desire. Lots of fun animals on the farm! We highly recomend

I spent the weekend with my kids in the teepee for a getaway on mothers day weekend. I wanted to get away, but didn't want the typical stay in a hotel. I wanted a new experience and a weekend in nature. I knew it was going to be a great experience after reading the reviews, but it exceeded my expectations. Jeremiah and Sara are very hospitable and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Actually, more than enjoyable...fun, exciting, and extremely comfortable. I was worried about rainy weather, because I wanted to spend time outside, pet the animals, and have my kids run around. It rained a lot, but we still had a GREAT time. Sara and Jeremiah gave me reccomendations of things to do in town, and made sure that we were enjoying our stay. The rain actually made our experience in the teepee even more relaxing, my kids napped easily with the sound of the rain on the teepee. And the shower was an awesome experience as it was raining outside. The teepee is so clean, and the bed is super comfortable (more comfortable than my bed). The details, like the candles, electric blanket and heater, the Keurig, hot coco and apple cider, snacks, and chocolates made our experience even more enjoyable. There is an incredible view of the mountains from the teepee. We enjoyed spending time with all of the animals. We met the family and enjoyed our time with them so much that it was difficult to leave. They even invited us for a Mother's Day brunch which made my day. It was the best Mother's Day I've ever had. My kids had so much fun that they were begging me to stay another night. We will definitely be back, I can't wait to make more memories there. Thank you Sara and Jeremiah for making our time there so special.

I had wanted a getaway in the mountains for some quiet and relaxation with a unique experience and this did not disappoint! Sara and Jeremiah were so hospitable and friendly. They made me feel very at home and welcome. This location and the teepee are amazing! I was there as the weather started to turn cold, but the teepee was warm and the outhouse shower was hot! I spent my mornings taking walks and enjoying the view, ventured into the cute town for dinner, and also took a trip to Natural Bridge which was close by and worth the trip. From the beautiful views, to the unique experience, I cannot recommend this place enough! I hope to return again sometime soon. Thanks, Sara and Jeremiah!

This place is great! The tipi is simple and welcoming. The nature trails on the property where a great way to start the day.

Stayed with my girl on a cold night in March. It was beautiful and warm, even though it was 20 degrees outside. Loved the animals and green house. Will be back in the spring for sure.

This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Sara and Jeremiah were delightful, welcoming and so accommodating. So many animals to see - animal lovers book in! I was surprised at how spacious the tipi was, and the view of the mountains through the window was stunning. Highly recommend staying here!

Staying with Sara and her family at their *amazing* farm was a top highlight of our entire trip. They pulled out all of the stops to make our stay fantastic and I would have loved to stay much longer. The tipi and facilities were beautiful, the location absolutely ideal and the hosts were so welcoming. Honestly, staying here was the best possible experience for us and when we're next back in-country it will be an absolute must-return.

Sara and her family are great hosts! My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay in a hipi at her farm. The farm and the area around the Blue Ridge Mountain were so beautiful. Sara and her husband built the hipi themselves and it's an amazing architecture. Inside the hipi, there were a queen bed, a heater, a fan, lights, coffee machine and electricity. It was clean, convenient, private and spacious for two people. The atmosphere inside was really cozy and comfortable. The wooden bathroom was outside the tipi and you can take a warm shower under moonlight. Actually, taking a warm shower outside was our favorite part in this trip (I don't mean that the bathroom is open to the outside. It's covered in all directions, except a small window). I definitely recommend this experience. In the morning we looked around the farm and enjoyed seeing a variety of animals: dogs, cats, chickens, a pig, lamas, horses, and even tilapias in a small aquarium! They were all friendly to us, especially dogs. We took many adorable pictures of those animals and it was really nice to have a short walk around the farm. My wife and I definitely recommend you to visit the farm. It's more convenient and relaxing than expected. Also Sara and her husband are really wonderful people:)

Steven is a brilliant host. Everything about the description on the airbnb website regarding the room, amenities, etc. is spot on. Steven left descriptive directions for accessing the room, and came down to check if everything was okay and gave us wonderful tips on points of interest in the area. I recommend staying with Steven if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed.

Steven's is by far the best airbnb experience I've had to date. Great value, beautiful space and exactly as pictured and advertised - heated bathroom floors and all. I didn't see Steven during my stay but he e-mailed to make sure my arrival went smoothly. The place had everything I needed and more - comfortable bed, nice couch, dining table to eat and work from, Netflix and more. I will definitely stay here any time I can when returning to the area!

Loved this space! Wish I could have stayed more than one night. It's a beautiful basement apartment with the ultimate in comfort. Walking in on a cold evening, it was warmly lit and the heater was at a comfortable setting; I instantly felt at home. It's beautifully furnished, has lovely decor and cozy sheets and towels. I loved the heated bathroom floors, large tub, comfy couch, and comfortable bed. Description was accurate and amenities up-to-date. It's located in a normal residential neighborhood with clear instructions on how to enter and what to do upon checkout. Owner checked in upon arrival and was available as needed. I had no issues; I loved this place and definitely wish I could have stayed longer!

This is a wonderful place to stay! Clean, comfy, quiet, great kitchenette as well. Very nice host, close to stores and downtown Lynchburg. Also in a very nice neighborhood! We highly recommend this home!

This place was clean and spacious. It was in a great quiet location. The basement was a perfect place to be close enough to people to feel safe with the appropriate level of privacy. Amenities were perfect as well, the fridge was just large enough,a crockpot was provided so I was able to fix dinner, and the heated tile floors in the bathroom were amazing! I can't wait to stay again!

This studio is beautiful! We found the space to be extremely comfortable and exactly what we needed for a weekend trip to visit with family. It is situated in a beautiful neighborhood and kept immaculately clean. The bed and bathroom linens are extremely comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Steven graciously welcomed our family with 2 small children and also allowed for my mother to stay on the couch with us at the last minute. Next time we visit our family in Forest, we hope this listing will be available!

We had a wonderful stay in the Brinly's beautifully finished basement studio. Steve was welcoming and very helpful in getting us acclimated to the area and to local grocery stores, things to do, etc. The studio's kitchenette was well-equipped and we were able to prepare several meals during our stay. The bed was super comfy and the AC kept us cool during a very hot and humid week. Their home is in a quiet neighborhood and my husband and son found it a great setting for their daily runs. A beautiful area! We would definitely stay again when in the area!

We had a wonderful time staying at this location. The apartment was perfect size for the three of us. It was nice and clean. Perfect for our short stay. The neighborhood was also very nice. Had a chance to take a couple of early morning walks. We will stay here again when we come to visit this area.

Great place to stay with a great view of the country side.

Lovely view. Well-equipped. Good wifi. Very clean.

Very nice accommodations safe and clean with amazing view of the horses playing in the ranch across the street. We will definetly return.

Perfect stay! Smooth check in, super clean, well maintained, beautiful scenic area. Had the most gorgeous view of the paddock in the morning with the sun streaming in. This highly affordable spot is a gem! We slept amazing on the bed which was very comfortable & linens/pillows were heaven. Thank you for a great overnight stay!

This is a lovely place to stay, I felt safe and the area was clean and had everything I needed. This family is also extremely sweet and will do anything to make sure that you're comfortable and taken care of. I would definitely recommend staying here even if just for a night or two, I'm already planning my next trip!

Clean, quiet, modern, and spacious. Great place.

Lovely home & location. It was really nice to wake up & have coffee available.

Beautiful area and beautiful home! The accommodations were excellent! It was great to have our own space with a full kitchen and private bathroom.
