JAMES RIVIERA RETREAT: A DEEPER LOOK
Enjoy an entire retreat with family and friends!
Secluded riverfront property on 9 acres with boat ramp, pool table and hot tub.
Beautiful 3500 square foot home overlooking the James River just 5 minutes from Historic Downtown Lynchburg.
Multi-family friendly with 3 suites, each with its own living room, bedroom, full bath, and a king bedroom on the main floor off the great room.

UPSTAIRS SUITES: Top floor has 3 master suites, each with a main level living room with full bath, queen sofa bed, large screen TV, DVD player, seating area, mini-frig, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, iron, hair dryer, etc. and a separate loft bedroom.
Most of the beds, as well as all of the sofa beds, have 3-inch hypo-allergenic feather pillow toppers and lots of pillows for you to sink into.

MAIN FLOOR BEDROOM: Main floor bedroom off of the main living area has a king size bed, sofa bed, large screen TV, DVD player and seating area.

FAMILY SIZE KITCHEN: Kitchen is fully equipped with double ovens, oversized induction cooktop, pots and pans, and everything you need to make your favorite meal including a gas grill outside on the large patio. The pavilion also has picnic tables and large outdoor charcoal grill.

LAUNDRY FACILITIES: Large front load washer and dryer are located on the main floor.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES: Enjoy the best water skiing in the area, relax and fish off the big floating dock or read one of the many books we have on our shelves. Let the children play on the jungle gym while you sit around the riverfront fire pit.
Take in the breathtaking views from the large outdoor six-person hot tub on the deck. Challenge each other to corn hole, darts, or volleyball.
Drive your own golf balls through the trestle to the tee from three different tee boxes, putt on the pavilion putting stage or bring expendable golf balls to drive across the river off the patio at the house.
Relax on the swing at the meditation rocks looking at the infinity view under the trestle. Shoot skeet over the river or improve your shooting skills on the range.

DOWNTOWN EATING AND EVENTS: Downtown Lynchburg boasts over 45 restaurants as well as multiple local breweries, rooftop bars and wine bars.
During the summer there are events such as Get Downtown and First Fridays. The nearby Riverside Park hosts Movies in the Park and has a spray ground for the kids all summer long!
Don’t miss the Lynchburg Community Market with local farmers on the weekend and year-round shops and restaurants indoors.

HISTORICAL SITES AND NATURE: If you’re a history buff, you will love our area.
Both Appomattox Court House National Historic Park and Thomas Jefferson’s Poplar Forest make great day trips, but the downtown area is also a wealth of historical landmarks and a museum, just minutes away.

Love this place
Our family has stayed here before and we love it. The accommadations suit us so well with the main level and then the three separate sleeping units on the upper level. We now have 2 great grandchildren to go with us, and the playground area is great. My family enjoys kayaking, and this is a great place for it. This is a great place to stay with lots of different things to do. Look forward to coming again in the future.

1145 river road - riviera
This house was awesome. We had our special Olympics softball team of 14 stay. The location was unbelievable and being on the river and all the outdoor space was perfect for us have fun and hangout. We even had room to have a practice. There was plenty of room, we cooked meals every night, they played pool, corn hike, bumper pool, etc. and loved it. It was a great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Tobi

Host profile image
My husband Eric and I own a rental property company called T & E Properties, Inc in Lynchburg Virginia. We specialize in unique properties such as downtown lofts and retail spaces. Typically we have always done long-term rentals but a couple years ago someone suggested we try short term in a couple of our properties. We love to travel and have certain expectations when we do and we hope that we have incorporated those into our our vacation properties.

Why they chose this property

This particular property was originally built by Eric and some friends as a fun get away that they would escape to at any time for a break from the daily grind since it is so close to downtown Lynchburg. They could be there in minutes! Over the years, the group became involved in a lot of other activities and now are only using the property occassionally and mainly just the riverfront so we decided to share the fun and offer as a vacation home for other family and friends in the hopes that they would enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

This property is located on the James River on several acres which allows us to provide a lot of amenitites. It is one of a few properties with a boat ramp on this end of the river and the large dock makes it perfect for boating, fishing and water sports. The acrege allows us to have a picnic pavilion, 2 fit pit areas, horse shoes, volley ball, badminton, and even has a putt putt green and a target range. Treasure Island Outfitters now offers canoe, kayak, small fishing boat, paddle board rentals, etc.
