Pet-friendly holiday rentals in James River

Very nice house. Our favorite part was the playroom. We have three kids 5 and under and they had a blast. Everything was clean and comfortable. The check-in and check-out process was easy and smooth. Before arrival, I was little worried about the stairs and my one year old. But when we got there, there was a door at the top of the stairs. We could close the door and then baby could roam around freely without any danger of falling down the stairs. Yay! A place where you don't have to hover over your little ones and baby proof left and right is always a win for mom! Overall, it was a great stay.

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.

Great little place central to the VCU campus and walkable to restaurants and attractions.

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!

Great spot near downtown Lynchburg in the historic district. Very thoughtful design and finishes throughout. Would recommend!

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.

The Hideaway Oasis was a great find, clean, well-stocked and Katie’s hospitality was top notch! Between the flexibility with our check-in and the personalized special surprises for the kids and dogs, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer host. Katie went out of her way to welcome us… sooo appreciated after a busy day of packing and dealing with movers. Fun game room, relaxing outdoor area… we loved listening to the birds singing while enjoying our morning coffee. This is THE place to stay when visiting Fort Greg-Adams! Thank you, Katie!

The ultimate peaceful and restful location and experience. Carmen was super responsive for all my questions, and her gorgeously designed house had ALL the amenities and comforts from home! Sauces, condiments, spices, coffee and teas, canned goodies, dry pantry goodies - her gourmet kitchen was a delight! Tupperware for leftovers, paper towels, soaps, cleaning supplies, tons of toilet paper and toiletries and bbq supplies. Rain shower experience!! Also water filter, and a bar fridge with bottled water and normal and Diet Coke! Beds out of this world!!! Gorgeous patios with plenty of lounging options, everything was beautiful!!!! Thank you Carmen! Best host ever!

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!

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!

Staying at Beau’s place was exactly what I needed to connect with nature and to connect with my partner away from the city away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives! The waterfall and everything around it was truly magical. I felt like I was in a fairytale. The cottage was adorable and had everything we needed. The hiking, kayaking, and cave exploring made this a truly memorable experience and I will be visiting again one day!

A Great and Wonderful place to relax and unwind. Peaceful surroundings, trickling waterfall, beautiful nature all perfect to rest and disconnect. Plenty to do with trails to hike, lake to fish or kayak (kayaks provided by host), gorgeous super clear swim pond, fire pit, string lights…. Everything was awesome. Met the host in passing, super friendly and hospitable. Great to chat with. Love their vision and execution of their facilities! Loved the farm store which housed delicious treats and some groceries and even fish bait for fishing on their lake. This place has it all! Our kids cried when our mini vacation was over because they didn’t want to leave (neither did we!) Our youngest wanted to sell our house so we could live here and never leave. We will be repeat renters and can’t wait to visit again. Thank you for sharing your property with us

We had family and friends in from out of state for my granddaughters high school graduation. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The views and the house were beautiful. Heather was a wonderful host, very responsive to our requests and needs. Hopefully the house will be available in a few years for my granddaughters collage graduation, she loved the setting so much she would love to come back. Lynne

We brought our dog along for a beach adventure at The Laughing King. We had an amazing time and MJ was a wonderful host. We stayed in the little hi eymoon cottage and it was quaint and well-appointed. The loft ladder was a bit tricky but once you got up there the bed was super comfortable! We enjoyed walking around and exploring Cape Charles (just a quick 15/20 minute car ride away with plenty of free street parking around town) but our favorite day was playing out on the private sand bar with our dog. We all had a blast on the sandbar and next time will pack a lunch and stay out longer! The property itself was secluded, quiet and private. Perfect for sitting on the porch with coffee watching the tide roll in. They had paddle boards and kayaks to use in the calm backwaters as well as a fire pit and a nice pool. The reviews about MJs wonderful breakfasts were spot on - his quiche was superb. Overall we had a wonderful time at The Laughing King and we would highly recommend it

This was our third visit and we have loved being there every time. We travel from Florida to Pennsylvania in the spring and fall and this is the only place we stay two overnights because it’s such a lovely place to be. Chris is as nice and welcoming as anyone could possibly be. Everything you need is there. The pool and hot tub are amazing. The gardens and bird life are like nowhere else. The Graves Mill Trail, about 25 minutes away is a beautiful place to hike. And Chris introduced us last year to old house Vineyards where you can have amazing brick oven pizza on Mondays. We will return again and again!

Wonderfully peaceful time with lots of fun things for children to do. Good campfire set up, extremely clean RV and the surrounding farm animals made for a special experience (chickens, goats with their babies and the sweetest donkey who loved to cuddle in through the fence). Would recommend especially for someone with busy children as this place slowed my 6 year old son right down.

We had an amazing stay, Jeff and Bridgett’s property really is a slice of heaven! We loved being able to relax on property and explore local vineyards and antique markets! Ended up having the perfect honeymoon!

Kendall was a great host. She took care of what I needed and was friendly and responsive. The house and location were great! Very private and perfect if you have a dog. We were very pleased. Thanks Kendall!

Amazing experience for my micro honeymoon here - very relaxing. Only note is that the hot water doesn’t last for more than 1 min

Highly recommend this spot! If you're looking for a chill place to relax with a friend, this is it. It feels like your own private hangout, almost like a treehouse vibe, but in a cozy cabin. Super peaceful, comfortable, and perfect for just unwinding or catching up. We had an awesome time here and would definitely come back. If you want something low-key, personal, and memorable, this is the place.

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).

Melissa's space was exactly as advertised, and she was a very friendly host - even taking time out of her day to introduce our girls to some ducks and chickens. We had a very nice stay.

We stayed here for a wedding in Charlottesville and, while the cabin was a bit out of the way from where most guests were staying in town, it ended up being the best decision we made. Our group was too large for hotel rooms, and this cabin gave us the perfect place to spread out and relax. We honestly wished we had more time to enjoy the space itself—it's ideal for a peaceful getaway weekend. Unfortunately, wedding events kept us running around, but we could easily see ourselves coming back just to unwind and take it all in. The property offers plenty to do, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. A couple of small suggestions that would’ve helped us (specifically as guests getting ready for a wedding): a full-length mirror in the downstairs bathroom and some brighter lighting in the bathrooms for hair and makeup. That said, these things wouldn’t be an issue for a regular weekend trip. Overall, a charming cabin that we hope to return to when we can truly enjoy it!

would book again.
