We stayed 3 nights while attending a college graduation nearby. Cottage was clean, bathroom was clean, bed was soft but comfortable. Sofa bed was also used by a teenager, it was saggy but functional. The location is lovely and the wraparound screened-in porch is a big plus. A negative is not many surface areas to put our things and toiletries; rooms are small. Owner was quick to reply to questions when booking. Overall, a comfortable stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is small but has everything that we needed. The back porch overlooking the river is the shining star of this little gem. It's the perfect place to go to get away from it all and relax. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again.

Quiet Restful Place

We enjoyed the view and watching the birds come by the bird feeder each day. We got some much needed rest and relaxation.

Another great weekend

This was our second stay at this great little getaway spot, and once again, it did not disappoint. Start to finish and top to bottom, everything about the house and property were perfect for what we wanted - a simple and quiet getaway with a chance to fully relax and enjoy life.

The River House

Beautiful property and perfect little house with large and very comfortable screened in porch for taking in the river view if you’re not sitting around the fire pit. Convenient location to whatever your wanting to do. The host provides five star service.

Beautiful place to relax!

My husband and I wanted to get away to relax. Lori and Todd went above and beyond...gave us so much info on places to go. Had several storms and river was high, but Todd gave my husband a lot of info on fishing spots nearby. House is perfect and the large screened porch was perfect! We would highly recommend and plan to visit again!

Cottage

It was quiet, serene, scenery was beautiful. Those four days were not enough. We especially enjoyed the screen in porch. We would consider renting the cottage again, it is a gem, tucked in the forest.

Wonderful stay at the bungalow

My husband and I stayed had a great weekend stay at the bungalow. It was very clean and peaceful. The screened in porch is great for the hot and buggy Virginia summers. The central AC and wifi were also a treat. One thing to note is that if you are driving back at night make sure you have your GPS on, the road is dark and winding and you can easily miss the house.

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I stayed for a few days right after our wedding. We had a great time!! Super quiet and peaceful little spot. Adorable little house which had everything we needed and then some. We appreciated the WiFi so we could keep in touch with our families. The river was awesome! My husband even caught a fish! We definitely hope to go back again!

The hosts ad property were fantastic! My wife, son, and I had a relaxing and recharging weekend stay here on the river. We hiked crabtree falls, and from there the only entertainment we needed was listening to the sounds of the river behind us as we enjoyed our stay. The home was cozy, the screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee and late night talking, and the backyard feels like its own campground, where you can fish, wade in the river, and cook s'mores over the campfire. It was a very peaceful and relaxing bungalo, and everything we needed to recharge.

Peaceful

My wife and I have a great stay. The pictures do not do the property justice. The screened back porch is huge, overlooking the backyard down to the river. The house itself was immaculate clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The location offers peace and quiet, with easy access to nearby hiking and breweries. We may have to return for a longer stay.
