About this property

VCU • Fenced • Pet Friendly • Keyless • King Suite + 2 Queen Bedrooms

Welcome to “Base Camp RVA”.

Crisp, clean, & comfortable, this Virginia Commonwealth University area Townhome is centrally located & extremely walkable. We think that “Base Camp RVA” is the perfect pet-friendly base camp to enjoy & explore downtown Richmond, VA for active travelers and their four legged friends!

“Base Camp RVA” is a short stroll to the James River, with parks on three sides along with VCU and Oregon Hill on the others. The VCU area is perfect for walking & cycling explorations. Rent an electric bike at the Petronius S Jones Park, a few blocks away or bring your bike and keep secure at “Base Camp RVA” in the locked storage shed off the back porch.

Historic Hollywood Cemetery, on the National Register of Historic Places serves as the final resting place for 2 United States Presidents and offers views overlooking the James River. Sitting 2 blocks away, this Cemetery is lovingly enjoyed by countless Richmonders, and visitors alike for it’s unparalleled peace and beauty.

“Base Camp RVA” provides a well equipped kitchen, with generous cookware, plates, utensils, etc.; a downstairs half bath, and upstairs full bath with tub, Master Bedroom with King, & 2 queen bedrooms. The bedrooms and living room
have Roku TVs with Netflix. The dining area and living room both provide ample room for a group of up to 6. The front porch and back deck are great outdoor spaces with seating for 2 in the front and ample space in the rear. The large backyard is fenced, with large gate doors that open to the alley & garbage receptacles.

We look forward to hosting you at “Base Camp RVA” during your visit to beautiful Richmond, Virginia! Please let us know if you have any questions.

Richmond Getaway

The location was perfect for us. We loved being able to walk to Hollywood cemetery, and my husband loved being able to easily bike to both the Pump House park and to the Belle Isle bridge. Everything else was an easy drive(under 10 minutes). The property was clean and, check in/out was very easy. We would absolutely stay again.

Very clean, comfortable, easy access to Richmond. Check in was fairly smooth, but I didn't get the access code until 10 mins before our check in time. Altogether would recommend for a Richmond stay

Close to VCU

This is our second time staying here. We love how close it is to VCU and it’s walking distance from our son’s apartment. Lynley is a great host, she’s very responsive if you need to reach out to her. The place is a good size and the beds are comfortable. The snacks left for guests is a plus.

Easy peasy!

The stay was a breeze, easy to get in, very comfortable, and a bonus was the variety of snack offerings. The location is great if you need to be near VCU or downtown. The neighborhood itself lacked charm but is safe and easy to get to. Great place!
