My family of 4 stayed there and my brother and sister in law joined us for half the stay. It was so cute, clean and well appointed. Communication with host was super quick and pleasant. My 13 year old twins loved going out by the lake and catching frogs and lightening bugs (the critters remained unharmed) and petting the donkeys. We were able to visit Williamsburg and Busch Gardens about 30 minutes away then enjoy the rural setting and relax.

The pictures on the site are good. When you walk into the house it is bigger and a comfortable home. Virginia was a gracious host. My husband, daughter, and grandchildren caught fish from the dock. They also enjoyed the kayaks. We plan to visit again!

We have stayed in many VRBOs and this is easily one of the most incredible properties of all! It may be slightly off the beaten path but it is absolutely worth it! The property is beautiful with tranquil water views and the tiny barn is tastefully decorated with all amenities you would need. It was incredibly clean and comfortable. We have family in the Richmond area and cannot wait to return on our next trip!

We visited from KY and stayed 2 nights in July. Our family absolutely loved this place! From the detailed guide book to homemade cookies and soap, place has so much more than most VRBOs. The home is incredible, clean, comfortable and gorgeously decorated. Our favorite thing was the pier that my two little fisherman caught lots of fish off of! The reservoir and pier are even better than the pics and huge. Very beautiful, natural location that’s still close to Williamsburg. The canoe and kayaks are awesome and we fully enjoyed them. The fully stocked kitchen and wonderful grill made it a breeze to whip up a nice dinner. The hammock, screened porch and fire pit was an added bonus to our vacation helping everyone relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. I only wished we would have stayed longer!!!

Everything about this property is an absolute Wow! The host (Virginia) has created a wonderful retreat; so if you’re looking for wonderful accommodations, in a quiet setting where you can enjoy trees and water, than this is the perfect spot. The kitchen and bath are fully stocked and beds super comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch listening to the birds and watching the sun setting on the water. Communication is excellent and definitely ask about meeting the mini-donkeys! Best rental we have ever experienced! Thanks again Virginia!
