Enjoy Breezes on the James River, 2bdrm-1bath / 15 minutes to downtown Richmond

The James River house is in Henrico county. We are 15 minutes to Historic Downtown Richmond and 45 minutes to Colonial Williamsburg. We are overlooking the James river in a very beautiful private setting. Our house sleeps 6. The master bedroom has a very amazing king bed and the second bed room has a Midcentury queen bed both have very comfortable mattresses. There is a sun room that contains a daybed and a pull out queen bed in the living area. The large kitchen comes completely 'chef' ready. The picture window in the cozy living room shows off the river. Bring your bikes and bike from your door to the Virginia Capital Bike Trail. The trail will run from Richmond to Williamsburg. We are in walking distance to Deep Bottom boat ramp and have plenty of room for your boat and jet skis. Or you may choose to Kayak or Stand Up Paddle Board right from your private beach. We have direct water access, with a brand new 50 foot dock , with space to tie up 4 boats or just relax and enjoy the sunshine. Don't forget to bring your water shoes our beach is rocky. You can enjoy watching for the many species of birds including eagles, osprey, loons and blue heron to name few. We also have a Donkey (Bubba) and a Horse (Lil Bit) that we can introduce you to. You may also enjoy the challenge of looking for sharks teeth. If there is an angler in your group they have come to the right place. The tidal James in our area is known for catching citation blue catfish. The James also contains striped and large mouth bass, perch,shad and Gar. It is an escape into nature. There is also an abundance of history in our area. If you head East on historical route 5 you will encounter many plantations, battle fields, Williamsburg and Jamestown. If you head West on route 5 you will be going towards Richmond. Richmond has many museums, Tredegar iron works, festivals, Shockoe bottom, eclectic Cary Street, Maymont Park and lots more!! There are also 3 major Theme parks nearby, Busch Gardens, Water Country and Kings Dominion. For quieter days relaxing by the river, reading in the sun room, grilling out your favorite dish, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit this is a wonderful location. The house has a collection of books and games. The octagon picnic table is the perfect place for games and outside dinning. You feel the river breezes and hear the many sounds of river birds as you relax. We do not advertise on Craigslist.

We spent a relaxing lovely long weekend next to the James River. It was beautiful and the bonus of the horses & donkey next door was amazing!

Lovely views of the river & birds. Peace and quiet. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It is an old house but it is well cared for and we definitely enjoyed the three seasons room. There was everything we needed to cook our meals. I fell in love with the sweet donkey and we enjoyed walking the nearby trails.

The property is set on a picturesque landscape with views of the James River from windows and the sunroom. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom relaxing and visiting Bubba the donkey. The house had all the things we needed for a perfect stay. We were in town for a soccer tournament and being able to relax in our downtime was perfect! We had no reason to contact the owners but when we did to let them know we were arriving and departing they were quick to respond. Thanks for a great stay!!

Private stay with a lake house and a dock to fish off all yourself. The resident was feeding the horses and a donkey in the nearby stable and helped my daughter pet them, which was a highlight of her trip.

Our family enjoyed staying here with a lovely view of the James River and an easy drive to Downtown Richmond, Colonial Williamsburg, and other spots. Plenty of space to spread out and plenty of spots to spend time together, it was just what we had in mind. Would recommend!

After a long family road trip from Western New York to Florida and back, this was a nice place to come to on our way home. It felt very much like back home for us. The property has a beautiful view of the James river. I wish we had more time to explore the area, but we visited family in Richmond and enjoyed the history of the city. It was a great place, plenty to do, and a comfortable place to relax and enjoy the river.

The property was perfect for a weekend get away, we ended up spending more time in the city than we thought but it was the perfect place to come back to and crash at the end of the day. Everything was clean and the beds were incredibly comfy! Everything was decorated beautifully and with local touches that were perfect. I highly recommend this home and the hosts!

Fabulous time. Rob was a fantastic host. Spent time with us teaching me and my kids how to fish, helped me when my boat broke, brought down gas for my boat, made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The list could go on. Could not recommend him or this location enough. We will be back!!!
