Second long weekend stay for our Church group, fantastic find last year for our yearly New River Canoeing trip. Very convenient to the Riverside canoe launch and we can paddle right back to house. Perfect setup for cooking a great meal and enjoying the back deck with river view. Can’t wait til next year

Awesome house! We had a group of nine women, and everyone agreed it was a fantastic location. Lots of room to spread out, or gather together in one area. I highly recommend it.

This property is fantastic for a family get-together. Beautiful setting, huge kitchen, great games access (cards, foosball, tv). Our group could walk out the door and go fishing (lots of fish), and the bird-watching is excellent. There are a lot of beds, but the bedroom setup is such that with teenage or adult children there may be an awkward arrangement of bedrooms (sleeps about 14 but four bedrooms). Bring your own shampoo and bath soap. The door locks are old and some are difficult to operate, so checking out may be an issue.

Location of the house and the proximity to the river was wonderful. Plenty of space for our family reunion. Plenty of cooking space, utensils, etc. There were quite a few hornets nests and some areas weren’t as clean as they could be. We would definitely come back!

The property was as advertised. Large and spacious, well appointed and comfortable.Four couples stayed in the house for a long weekend of golf and a trip to Martinsville for a NASCAR race.Amy was fantastic to deal with. Quick to reply to questions and made our weekend.We will definitely consider staying here again, possible in the Spring or Summer to get the full experience. Fall colors were great!!

Friends weekend

The location and property is wonderful. Overall a nice place with lots of room for everyone. I would suggest that instructions for tv be clearer,light switches were confusing. An easy access to the river would be great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend for family or group stays.
