Farmstay holiday rentals in James River

Too little space to describe how much we loved The Spring House. I needed a little getaway after a busy year of teaching and this was just the thing. Ilse made check-in super easy and was so accommodating with our schedules. The scenery was BEAUTIFUL, nestled on their little farm and though we were close to their farmhouse it felt so secluded and private. Waking up to birdsong and coffee on the porch will be a lifelong memory. I hope to come back soon and have already been raving about this spot to all my friends ✨🦋

Words cannot describe the feeling of pure calm that comes over you when you arrive. This place is truly a treasure hidden in the woods. Once you cross the creek you leave the world and all your cares behind. The host pays attention to all the little details and it shows. We have stayed at quite a few places but this one is on our return list. We look forward to sliding up for a long weekend in the late fall or early winter. (Tip- be sure to spend 15 min reading the welcome package it is time well spent).

Loved our stay here! We had a wedding nearby and found this place and we were blown away. Beautiful views and outdoor space. We will be back!

Patricia was an amazing hostess. Very gracious made it a home away from home. It was hard to leave for our concert nearby. Very relaxing cabin,we even slept very well there. Normally we don’t sleep well when we are away from home.

This place was exactly what we needed to get away for the weekend. Elise went above and beyond with her list of nearby recommendations and property details. We met her twice and she was so kind, and we were lucky to meet her sweet dog George and sweet barn cat Mosby. We cannot wait to come back!

Our recent stay was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a profound sense of peace and quiet that was exactly what we needed. The symphony of birds singing throughout the day was a constant, delightful backdrop to our relaxation. Meeting Marigold the pig was a definite highlight – she was absolutely precious! We also adored seeing the bunnies, roosters, ducks, and even hummingbirds flitting about, adding to the idyllic farm charm. Even the weather contributed to the experience; watching the storms roll in and then being graced with a magnificent rainbow made for unforgettable moments. Our host was truly exceptional – friendly, outgoing, and incredibly kind, making us feel right at home. The special amenities, like the delicious local honey, really showcased the warmth and generosity of the family behind this wonderful place. We could truly feel the love and care poured into both the family and the property.

Awesome spot with great views. Such a peaceful stay, we would recommend this to anyone.

My boyfriend and I came out here looking for a place to disconnect and Heartrock was the perfect place! Greg gave us a great hiking recommendation to Fortune’s Cove and Kim was so helpful and responsive. The place was so nice and the scenery was lovely. Bilbo the cat was even more friendly than we imagined and we enjoyed hanging with him. We did prep our own breakfast and dinner before arriving just due to the smaller kitchen but it had everything we needed. We took a stroll around the property and it was lovely. The water pressure here is also great. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back.

This place was beautiful, quiet, clean and had so many extra amenities. The heated pool was great, even on the rainy days! We enjoyed the HBO Max on multiple TVs in the house and even on the porch! The creek was great too for the kids to explore. We were glad we had saved the check in key code ahead of time, as we had no reception until on the cabin’s wifi. Brandon was VERY responsive when we had questions. We definitely hope we are able to stay at the cabin again! Just wish we didn’t have to leave!!

We had a wonderful stay here. Hands down the best air bnb we’ve stayed in. The goats, donkeys, cows & chickens were so cute and the property was stunning. I highly recommend staying here for a relaxing getaway. :)

Our stay here exceeded our expectations. The property is absolutely gorgeous and the pictures do not do it enough justice. Once inside, the home felt much larger than anticipated and had a warm and cozy feel to it. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and I can’t recommend a stay here enough.

Tyler & Erica, thank you for the use of your beautiful home. We enjoyed the peaceful setting by the river. God bless. Josh & Lori

The perfect place to spend the night after a long day of driving! We traveled with four adults, a toddler and an infant. We had plenty of room and everything we needed for the kids was provided! We enjoyed the peaceful back porch and after the kids went to sleep we had a relaxing night by the fire. We’d love to stay again!

This is our second year in a row that we stayed here for our annual family retreat (me, my wife and adult children with their partners). We loved it the first time and it was every bit as good the second. The house is in a beautiful peaceful setting tucked away in the woods with a mountain view. We spent most of our time during the day out on the decks, which were very comfortable with plenty of seating, outdoor couches and tables. We also took advantage of the fire pit. The house is actually much larger in size than how it looks . There is a good-sized living room with huge couch and large TV. Everyone had private rooms, which were very clean and comfortable with excellent furnishings. The kitchen was fully supplied for our cooking needs. Whenever we had a question Breanna was very quick to respond. If you're looking for a true getaway, I highly recommend staying here.

My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful time staying at the Jefferson cottage The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host, Steve, was incredibly responsive and made check-in super easy. The location was perfect, close to everything but still nice, quiet and so peaceful. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an incredibly beautiful getaway. ❤️ Thank you for the great hospitality!

My family and I loved our stay at Rose Cottage. We were in the area for an event at UVA. The cottage was perfect and had all of the space and amenities we needed for our stay. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful, all while still being a short, easy drive in to Charlottesville. The porch swing and hammock were my daughter’s favorites, and we all loved walking through the meadows after dinner and enjoying the scenery. Steve and Debbie were great hosts and very responsive. We’ll be back!

We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay on this beautifully kept property. I enjoyed sitting on the front porch with my coffee to listen to the birds and take in the scenic views. We took advantage of the hot tub after a long day at wineries :) Very clean, all the amenities you could ask for (I can't even think of any that could be added?!), and very easy checkout. Host messaged a couple of times to ensure we had everything we needed. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!

Cute little place on a stunningly beautiful property! Our host was always responsive. We'd love to come back!

The Cozy Cottage was fantastic! Rose was an excellent host and made sure all things that were necessary to make our stay great for our family vacation were there. Hot tub was a plus and the backyard for our pup was perfect! Very quiet and very private location. We felt right at home! Hope to come again! Thank you Rose!

Lenah's place was wonderful! We were in Bealeton for a friend's wedding, and it was so close to everything we needed (including Moo Thru) but still in a rural setting. The house was spotless and had all of the amenities we could want. Lenah was even so sweet to loan me her iron so I could iron the dress I took for the wedding. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it!

Absolutely wonderful! The house was beautifully decorated. We used this for my partner’s birthday trip and it exceeded our expectations! We were mindful it is still an active horse ranch so there were ants but we were prepared. Other than that everything was exceptional and the horses were beautiful too!

We enjoyed our stay at Cedar Nook as it was a great location for us to explore the local area, and it had a great view. Cedar Nook has all the amenities to complement anyone's stay. The place was well stocked with snacks, fruit, eggs, bread, etc. Ferne met us upon arrival, gave us a quick tour of the cottage, and communicated with us before our arrival. She was a gracious host!

Lorene’s place was 5+STARS🌟 Private but close to the event we were attending. Beautiful property, lots of walking trails, pet friendly, beautifully furnished and stocked with all the necessities…it felt like I was visiting my grandmas house 💖 Loved everything about the house but the sunroom was the cherry on top. Lorene and her husband were very friendly and we really enjoyed talking “history” with them. Highly recommend 🙂

This was our third visit to Moonfire Farm, and as always, it was delightful. The living space is comfortable, welcoming, and well-equipped with thoughtful attention to detail, and the farm is amazing. We loved playing with Luna the dog, brushing the goats, finding the chicken eggs, feeding the alpacas, and watching the ducks. Our 3-year-old loved the zip line, and we all enjoyed splashing in the pool. There are great restaurants nearby, and we also cooked some meals at the Airbnb. We took a nice hike in Preddy Creek Park, just 5 minutes away. We are so grateful to Christina, Stu, and Piper for their hospitality and warmth, and we look forward to coming back!
