Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Buckingham County

We met up with family for Thanksgiving. The Lilac Cottage was the PERFECT place for a large group - four adults, four teenagers and two dogs. Our families live in Charlotte and Baltimore - this was a great place for meeting in the middle. We loved the quiet setting, fire pit (firewood provided), outdoor space, big comfy couch for movies, fantastic bathrooms and surprisingly spacious kitchen! Renee was responsive, supportive (we shared photos of our stay) and welcoming. We HIGHLY recommend the Lilac Cottage if you're looking for a comfortable, secluded stay in a beautiful setting! We have already talked about coming back for other family gatherings. Please don't hesitate to book a stay - You won't be disappointed!

Majestic location and great place to unplug from distractions and unwind. Peaceful and relaxing amenities, lots of interesting health, spiritual, fitness literature available in this space. The stars were sooooo visible and beautiful. Great sunrise & sunset, cool seeing the lit train go by at night. It is very windy atop this hill, with a great view of the river below. There is also a way down to the riverbed at the base of the driveway, maybe a quarter mile further down. The pictures haven’t been updated since new bed spreads & some rearrangements. There was tea kettle with lots of tea options, spices and seasonings available, meditation room, and the waterfall/jet shower was amazing. Very available and communicative host. Good wifi. There are meditation retreat/activities locally, that we wish to explore on our next trip here. Thank you and enjoy!!

We had a fantastic stay at John and Ericka’s Airbnb! They were excellent hosts—super responsive and easy to communicate with. The house was perfect for our work trip—clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. Everything was as described, and the attention to detail made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Prishanti was an amazing host! She was extremely friendly and welcoming, and made me feel at home. The place was so beautiful. I wanted to have a weekend to escape and unwind and my goals were accomplished! The view was stunning. It was so quiet and peaceful. There was nearby hiking that I was able to take my dogs. The accommodations were very clean. The best part was just sitting out on the deck as the sun went down drinking a glass of wine with my dogs. The weekend was perfect.

My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house is so cute and has so much character. We love coming to Nelson County. This was our first time staying in Shipman and it's perfectly located to bop around the surrounding towns and Blue Ridge Parkway. Definitely go to Dr. Ho's Humble Pie and pop into the Crossroads market for their eclairs!

We were looking for something remote with no traffic or noise. Mitchell’s place was just THAT! He was very accommodating and flexible. Husband gives Mitchell 10 stars for having the GOOD TP and a sparkling bathroom. 🤣 The hot tub was very clean and perfect temperature. Everything about this place was perfect. Tip: pick up some steaks within 30 minutes of getting there and use the grill. (You will not want to travel back out—there is nothing close by). Will definitely be back.

There's so much to say about our stay at HeartRock! You instantly feel at peace when you arrive, and can feel how much love has been poured into this space. Everything about HearRock makes you feel relaxed and ready to connect with your loved ones. We stayed here for a friend's weekend and immediately felt at home. The kitchen is perfect for sharing meaningful meals, the porch is cozy for hanging out, and the grounds are beautiful to explore. We cannot say enough positive things about HeartRock - it is truly a gem and we cannot wait to return.

Love this little cabin and the surrounding nature! It’s always a peaceful trip, and the cabin has everything you need.

Great place, clean house, fun to be on a working farm for the weekend. Only note is there is no central air conditioning so bringing fans for upstairs bedrooms is helpful.
