Large House in the Country but Close to Everything
Hosts were very accommodating and nice. Check in and check out were very easy. Very large house pretty much as pictured and described, with plenty of space. All items that you would need were provided. Lots of tvs which was great! Internet and phone service were pretty good. Some things that might be an issue for people. Basement had a mildew smell that kept us away from it. Also, if you have children or dogs, I would suggest bringing a gate for the basement stairs. We had to block up the stairs, because our small dog would have injured herself. Property would benefit from a touch up paint job, and a new mattress in the master bedroom. Yes, the entrance to the property was a bit rough as others had mentioned, but it was ok for us. Property is in a lovely wooded and quiet location. Lots of stars to see out there. We had a nice stay, and appreciated the hosts.

Great experience first time Vrbo
House was just as shown and very nice to stay in. Everything was comfortable and kitchen very nice. Quiet area and very private. Only slight drawback was the last few yards to get to the house. Narrow lttle bridge and bumpy bit of unpaved road but it was well worth it to get to stay at the house.

Wonderful house close to Richmond VA
The road up to the house is in need of some serious repair. Big storm could also easily bring a large tree across the road. The house was perfect for us. Clean, spacious with good bedrooms and bathrooms. Just need some help with the road.

Serenity in the suburbs
Had many delays with getting the code to enter the house. As we were all traveling on motorcycles the description didn’t originally mention that it was a driveway that was not motorcycle friendly. We ended up having to rent a vehicle and find a secure location for parking our motorcycles. This was an added cost and inconvenience. When we reached out to the property management company they did offer other options for the remaining time on vacation but none were able to provide us all of the same features. All in all it made the vacation stressful.

Family wedding
Family came to Richmond for a wedding and needed a place for 3 adults and 2 teenagers to stay. Place was perfect with bedrooms and baths as well as the basement area so the kids had a place to hang that was their “own”. Communication was TOP NOTCH. Internet went out during our stay and I reached out to James. He let me know where pieces of equipment were so we could reset (which worked beautifully)! Had offered to help troubleshoot of that didn’t work to get it up and running again. Well appointed with necessities and thoughtful decorative touches throughout.

Great place. Exactly what we were looking for. Pool table was a definite plus. Only 15 minutes from downtown, the airport, practically everything we needed. Our host, James and staff were so helpful providing necessary rental information as well as places to see and things to do in Richmond. Would definitely stay there again.

The Environment We Needed
We are grateful to have found this hideaway! It was really exactly what we needed in space and close to every event we had scheduled for that weekend. We have no complaints and we would definitely book again! Our host, James Divine, was so communicative and responsive to our questions and concerns. I recommended this home for group or family outings.

Great location for Pocahontas State Park
The house was very convenient to Pocahontas State park. Tucked into a secluded area, we didn't feel like we were in the suburbs at all. Large yard, common spaces, and amenities made this a nice house for bigger groups.

Family gathering
Visiting active military son and family. House was located in a secluded wooded area just beyond a housing division. We enjoyed the wildlife and space around us for son’s two labs to run. House provided plenty of rooms for us and multiple areas for all of us to gather. Enjoyed cooking holiday meals in the well furnished kitchen. Location was an easy drive to Williamsburg for a fun day trip. We would definitely stay again. James was excellent to communicate with.
