Walnut Cabin at Heart and Soil Homestead

LisaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Excellent all around. I had a very restful weekend at Christina’s cabin. The location was beautiful, and the cabin itself was more comfortable and well-appointed than I expected, while still retaining a rustic, woodsy charm. Directions and instructions were clear and easy to follow, and Christina was very responsive when I had questions. I highly recommend purchasing eggs and whatever seasonal produce is on offer. I was lucky enough to be here in strawberry and asparagus season myself! Christina’s place is definitely going on my list of favorite places to stay in Virginia.

Cottage in Amherst

Romantic Cottage Nestled in the Blue Ridge

KatieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Claudia’s place was spotless! Beautiful views right from the property. Loved the Firepit in the backyard. Dogs had a great time too! Great location with lots to do in the surrounding areas, we followed recommendations in the guide book in the Airbnb, everything was fantastic. We visited Bonfire Burgers & Bourbon in Amherst, Mt Pleasant for a hike, and Ankida Vinyards. We had 4 people and 2 dogs and the space was perfect. Highly recommend!

Cabin in Amherst

Sunsets and Solitude

GeraldineRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is the second time we've stayed there and I have enjoyed my stay both times. It is a lovely venue. Just a bit of a warning to older seniors like myself: there are a lot of fairly steep stairs, but worth it for the view.

Farm stay in Roseland

Summer on the farm. No charge for the view!

RobertRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Nancy and her husband were the nicest and super helpful. The property was gorgeous, the amenities and furniture were super comfortable. The first night was spent telling stories around the fire and enjoying the beautiful stars. My wife and I are foodies and ordered local chicken, pork and beef from Nancy which we prepared for a lovely family dinner on our second night. Check in and check out could not have been any easier. If you go to Lynchburg and you enjoy pastries and coffee go check out The Flour District.

Cabin in Gladstone

"Paddlemore" James River riverfront property

KarenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

If you’re looking for a peaceful spot on the river, punctuated by an occasional train whistle (across the river), this is it! Bryan and Wanda made sure we had what we needed and were very kind. The cabin is low on frills but we expected that. Access to the river is very easy and our son enjoyed several afternoon floats. Paddlemore was terrific for a weekend stay.

Guesthouse in Arrington

Crestvue Cottage

SamanthaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Leslie and Jonas’s cottage was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway. The place itself was very quaint and charming. Everything was very thoughtfully laid out, to the binder full of local recommendations and chargers for every type of device upstairs to the setup of the rooms themselves. Everything felt very cozy. We would also highly recommend checking out the balcony. It was a bit chilly for us, but just sitting out there and enjoying the sunrise or the peacefulness of the evening was absolutely wonderful. We hope to be back one day!

Unique Cabin | Quaint, Modern, Cozy | Near LYH

AutumnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We had a great stay celebrating our 10 year anniversary and also a birthday. The house has everything you could need and we loved cooking on the grill and loved that the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials. The house is the perfect layout for kids and dogs as well and the hot tub felt amazing after we hiked Crabtree Falls. The proximity to town and the local pie shop was perfect. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to come stay again.
