House holiday rentals in James River

This is hands down the BEST Airbnb experience I have ever had. The home was immaculate. The sleeping areas were perfect for my family and I. They literally had everything you could think of. Even down to extra toothbrushes. The backyard was truly an experience. But the absolute best part of my stay was the host. Very responsive. Very hands on to make sure we had everything we needed. Responses were prompt. Even one time I had to contact after midnight and my request was handled immediately! I love this location.

What a find! We were attending a wedding on the Potomac and found this gem of a place basically right next door. A perfectly appointed home in a peaceful, tranquil, beautiful setting. Connie was great! Responsive to our need to find the iron, not exactly an emergency, Connie responded immediately with it's location. Loved it!

A great stay on the river. The kitchen was well equipped and the rest of the house was comfortable. The screened in porch and access to the dock/beach/river was our favorite part. Our dogs were in HEAVEN. The location is rather remote, so recommend bringing any food you'll want as there are no close stores or restaurants.

Thank you so much for the great stay! We enjoyed the area and were able to relax at your place.

We had a really nice stay at the Rose Retreat! The home is wonderfully appointed with nice furnishings. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen with upscale drink and dinnerware. The hand written welcome note, bottle of wine and snacks were so thoughtful - thank you! A perfect location from which to enjoy Irvington and the surrounding towns. We hope to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the pool!

My family and I stayed here for a week for our family vacation. We are a group of 8 (6 adults and 2 kids) and there was plenty of room for all of us. We barely left the house because with the beautiful view, dock, beach area, canoe, kayaks, hot tub, game room/ library, corn hole, and fire pit we all had plenty to keep us entertained. Everyone loved Mary & Shelly’s place, and it provided the perfect space for us to enjoy the river and each other’s company!

Maria’s space was a perfect getaway! The house is clean and welcoming! They even had pet bows and toys which I thought was so sweet! Maria was very kind and responsive and gave a lot of great recommendations ! We had Brenda come to the house for a private dinner, and she was also amazing ❤️ 10/10 would stay here again

Joes property was absolutely beautiful! The views are amazing from the cozy hot tub on the back porch. Everything was super clean and the beds were super comfortable! This airbnb would be great for a family stay or a friends getaway. It was everything we needed and more! Joe was quickly responsive when i had questions. This air bnb is stocked with EVERYTHING you may need. Beautiful spot, 10/10!

Excellent place to stay ….very well furnished great accommodations! Spotless, clean place to spend the night!

The house is in a beautiful setting surrounded by mountains with peaceful views from the front porch that include a field of lavender and a stream. A forested trail network can be accessed at the far end of the lavender field--so bring your hiking shoes. The house is stunning with clean lines, "european" design and decor that includes high-end appliances and fixtures. Francesca is the ultimate host-very friendly and helpful. She provided all the information and details on the house that you would need for an easy check-in, stay, and check-out. From my initial conversations with her when I booked the house to helpful messages just before and during our stay, I felt like I was staying at the house of an old friend. We look forward to staying at Orso Blu on a future trip!

This place was great! The location makes it easy to get to many places in Richmond quickly and it was a perfect location for a family wedding in nearby Maymont. The house is beautiful and the furnishings very comfortable. The pool was a special bonus - lovely and relaxing with incredible plantings. Clearly a lot of time was spent considering what guests might want. I just wish we'd had more time to enjoy it.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about this home and our host! It was exactly what we were looking for. Peaceful, relaxing, private, perfectly furnished and wonderful amenities. The area is beautiful. We will definitely go back.

What an absolutely incredible stay. We booked the cabin for a full week with our dogs. Our ideal was to visit a place that was peaceful and surrounded by nature where our dogs could explore without worrying about running into other people or pets. This stay exceeded our expectations. As far as I could tell, the next closest people were over a mile away. The view was spectacular, along with nightly sunsets over the river that can be enjoyed from the hot tub or rocking chairs on the porch. We enjoyed the wildlife, the walkablity of the property, the seclusion, the river access - amazing, peaceful. Inside was also very comfortable. We made use of the kitchen and the grill, the TVs, and the comfortable beds. We cannot wait to visit again!

We had the good fortune of staying at Mary Catherine's place, and even though it was just for one day, I’ve never felt so relaxed. The house is absolutely stunning, offering a variety of thoughtful amenities and clear, easy-to-follow instructions to enjoy them all. The view is truly breathtaking—you can admire the mountains while listening to the peaceful sounds of birds and local wildlife. If I ever find myself in the area again, I would absolutely hope to stay longer. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Lovely little house with lots of thoughtful touches! Enjoyed our stay at The Overlook with easy access to downtown Lynchburg and the historic districts.

The Carriage House is beautiful. From the decor, well-stocked kitchen to luxurious linens, we were very comfortable in this home for a long weekend. Just outside of Farmville in a beautiful rural setting, is a jewel of a home. We were a party of 4, busy with different wedding festivities all weekend. It was lovely to start our days on the porch with coffee and come home to relax on the porch to enjoy the each other. Thanks to our host for a well stocked kitchen, bathrooms and all the goodies for us to enjoy. We appreciated your flexibility when we needed it! I hope to return to enjoy more of the area, shop at Greenfront and stay in this lovely home once again.

We truly enjoyed our stay here for my nieces wedding at Fine Creek. It was so nice being right down the road. We found the house unique and my adult children also loved staying here. They did a wonderful job renovating the house. Thank you so much for sharing your home and we would love to stay here again!

Terri’s Airbnb was absolutely gorgeous. The detail and thought they put into this Airbnb was impeccable. You got to enjoy the feel of a private log cabin with all of the updates! The kitchen has everything you needed, and was nice and open to the living room. There were 3 bedrooms- all with good sized beds! It rained the first day, but the second day we cooked out on the grill and had a great time staying in! We also did a little exploring to the observatory. We’d 100% come back and spend a longer weekend walking the trails and taking a train ride! Overall 10/10 stay! :)

The cabin was clean, river access was great, and it's close to downtown Lynchburg with just a few minutes of driving. Matthew was accomodating with our arrival time due to some last minute changes on our end and we were grateful for that. I'd stay again if visiting the area.

Wow! What a wonderful place to spend a few days!! The Resort certainly lives up to its name. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed every detail that was meticulously prepared for us. The host was more than helpful and accommodating for our group of 5 which included two teenagers and my mom who benefited from the accessible floorplan. The weather was perfect for the pool too. Thank YOU and we cannot wait to return the next time we are visiting family in Richmond.

The property was breath taking. The description only gives a little bit to what the property actually looks like. It’s beautiful!

The photos don’t do it justice - the views were immaculate, the location was excellent, and the home was a piece of serenity in Afton. Wendy was a wonderful host, very responsive, and kind. Would rent this again in a heartbeat.

Huge treat to have such a lovely backyard. Host response time was fast and friendly. I would absolutely stay again. We extended our stay a day and hope to be back. I think the house is even better than the pictures show.

The bright beach-like aesthetic was really enjoyable. Chocolates and bottled water welcomed us, and we took advantage of the local postcards that would be stamped and mailed for us! Nespresso machine with a variety of pods was a treat for my daughter and me. Beds gave us both a very comfortable night’s sleep after a long day of driving followed by a 3-hour tour of Liberty University. The neighborhood was peaceful, and family-friendly. We would be happy to stay again and recommend it to others.
