James River: soggiorni in cottage

Loved our stay here! It was cozy and peaceful for a little weekend getaway. While it was rainy we still had a lovely view of the water and stuff to do nearby (recommend the antiques marketplace). Kelcey was helpful and communicative! Want to come back to read on that beautiful screened porch!

This place was amazing! My boyfriend and I loved the area and the property, we will definitely be coming back. The views are breathtaking, the atmosphere is so calming, and not to mention the hot tub and fire pit were amazing additions as well. You could see the stars so perfectly out there. This place is perfect for those that like the peace of the mountains. Ashley was a great host who was quick at responding and making sure we were set up for success prior to our stay. You won't regret booking at this beautiful place!

From the first step inside, felt right at home. Fully stocked kitchen and the place was spotless. Definitely a 10 out of 10. Was a bonus having such an amazing view of the mountains and cows. Do yourself a favor and book this location!

My partner and I had the most relaxing weekend getaway at this beautiful A-frame cabin! The setting is peaceful and surrounded by trees, which made it feel like a true escape from the hustle and bustle. The cabin itself is gorgeous—thoughtfully designed, clean, and cozy, with lovely touches that made it feel like home. One of our favorite parts of the stay was spending time at the private dock on the nearby lake. It was such a peaceful spot to sit, talk, and take in the scenery—especially in the morning with our coffee! The quiet, natural surroundings made everything feel calm and restorative. The host was wonderful: kind, responsive, and made everything seamless from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a restful retreat. We’d absolutely love to return!

The house was comfortable and I loved that you could hear the creek from the house with windows open. We’ll definitely be going back!

We had a great stay! Olivia was an excellent host. The place had the perfect vibe for a girls weekend and birthday celebration. The only issue we had was needing to catch 2 wasps that were in the house, but we were able to take care of that without issue. It was so nice to have so many towels and amenities that you don’t normally have in an Airbnb. Thanks again!

Great stay! Such a cozy cabin and a gracious host!

This was the perfect weekend getaway! We enjoyed drinking morning coffee on the porch with our pup and soaking in the hot tub at night. We visited a local winery and had delicious meals in town! Definitely a great place to wind down for a few days!

We had such a wonderful stay! The cottage had a peaceful, garden-like charm that made it feel like a true retreat. The hosts were incredibly thoughtful—everything we could possibly need was provided, and the attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. It was cozy, comfortable, and felt instantly welcoming. One of our favorite features was the wood stove. It added so much warmth (literally and emotionally!) and made the evenings feel extra special. We’d absolutely stay again and highly recommend this space to anyone looking for a calm and cozy getaway.

Clean & comfortable cabin, great for a weekday away! Great location to some local spots & breweries. Loved the backyard bonus space to enjoy a relaxing night sitting outback with our pup!

This is our second time staying there and we loved it! So close to Orange so we can run into town and get food, come back home and relax. The dog has a fenced space to run around in and even friends (Hillary's pups) on the other side of the fence to run around with :) It is the perfect place for us to unwind, relax, and prepare for our international travels! Thanks Hillary!

We had a wonderful stay with our puppy! Chuck was very thoughtful and welcoming with the many amenities available. We felt right at home and it's so close to restaurants and the water. Looking forward to our next visit!

The pink cottage is nestled in nature, but also in the city. We were able to head toward UVA campus or out toward Ivy with ease. The place is both quirky and quaint - an artistically steeped homebase.

This was the perfect find for exactly what we needed- a peaceful and quiet few days to escape our hectic everyday. The home was cozy and lovely and exactly as described. Cape Charles is a gem of a town and we look forward to coming back!

This was our third time staying here and it is always wonderful. The property itself is beautiful and peaceful. Our dog loves the fenced in yard and dog amenities (water bowl, poop bags). The coffee that Billy provides is so good and much appreciated. Phone coverage can be spotty (the provide wifi works great), so the recommendations and directions provided in the Welcome binder are very useful. Love it here & hoping we will be able to visit again soon.

This was a perfect place for a peaceful getaway. The fireplace was a treat, and we had a very cozy stay. It's hard to add to what other reviewers have already said, but here is one detail: on a winter's night, when the moon is down and the sky is clear, the stars are fantastic! Because there is no nearby light pollution, the view from the deck of the night sky is deep and brilliant.

The place was exactly as advertised and we had a fantastic time. This was our second time staying at the resort and it certainly did not disappoint. The place was secluded and peaceful and everything was wonderful

We stayed at Richard’s because we were getting married on the beach which is right behind the house however weather halted tht so we opted to get married right in his beautiful backyard. The first day we were there we met his father who introduced himself and let us know tht if there was anything we needed to just reach out. Richard and his Mom actually were very sweet and left us a beautiful card for our wedding, the house is gorgeous and it was very clean. There were a lot a personal touches in the house tht made it truly feel like you were home. I can’t wait to stay there again next year for our 1st year wedding anniversary.

We loved our stay at Janet’s place! She was incredibly easy to communicate with, and the house was absolutely perfect—comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. We especially enjoyed being nestled into Ewell, with convenient access to the water, shops, food, and golf cart rentals. It made for a truly relaxing and memorable getaway.

Kay takes pride in this property and it shows in her attention to detail. It is a lovely place to stay and she personalizes the experience to make you feel welcomed. The home is well decorated and super clean. We loved our stay!

This is a lovely cottage with a good bed, full kitchen and laundry facilities. It's behind the main house, so there is no road noise to speak of. It is very clean and well-kept. Shana is a delightful lady and responds quickly.

It was a great stay. Host was responsive and home was calm and clean. Loved seeing the osprey from bed! Those windows highlighted the beautiful view. The weather was a bit dumpy but the space provided everything we needed.

The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful—exactly what we were looking for in a quiet weekend away. We enjoyed the grill and firepit, which were excellent for unwinding in the evenings. Restaurants and a grocery store were just a short drive away, making it easy to get what we needed. The house is old and has a lot of character, but it’s definitely not a luxury stay—more of a rustic, simple farmhouse. Still, it was clean, functional, and comfortable for our needs. The kitchen was well-stocked with essentials, and check-in was seamless. We truly appreciated the quiet and the space, and I’d come back for another peaceful break.

Our family had the most incredible stay at the cottage! We were greeted by the adorable Chrissy, the guard dog, and her pack of alpaca. After settling in, Brenda gave us a tour of the property and introduced us to her alpaca. They were incredibly friendly and so much fun to watch and interact with. We stayed here Easter weekend and the cottage was exactly as it was described in the post. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We even grilled one night. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable accommodations. We stayed here with two young children and their grandmother. Everyone enjoyed themselves! We definitely will be back!
