Vacation rentals with a fireplace in James River

My husband and I enjoyed every moment that we got to spend here! It is very clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and we are looking forward to planning another trip soon!

Excellent stay at RivahLife! The views were spectacular and the home was exactly as described. Easy to find with lots of stuff for the kids and adults. Looking forward to returning during the warmer months as the fishing, boating, and swimming would be more desirable. Thanks for the high chair and portable crib. Those things really help when traveling with kids.

This home was a perfect spot for my daughter and I for our week in Martinsville. We both work remotely and had no problems with the internet for our work. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cookware and serving dishes/utensils. The neighborhood is a quiet family area without too much traffic, and downtown Martinsville is just a few minutes drive away. The entire home was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Michael and Connie were very receptive to our needs and safety. Thank you so much for a good week!

Our family of four needed a quiet get away, and we enjoyed the beautiful days and evenings, inside and on the deck! Hikes nearby, spa nearby, restaurants, grocery, gas also nearby. Great resort year round! Lots of activities if you want them, and lots of peaceful nature if you want. Great!

The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed. I loved the options for add ons. We got breakfast and had a fire pit with smores. The coffee maker was easy. The rocking chairs were perfect for bird watching and reading. The snafu of a spring dance gone raucous at the event site was remedied through quick and generous communication (with an equitable refund). It was quite lovely and I’d love to go back and try a different cabin just because I’d love to see the other unique touches.

It was a great stay. It felt very home - like. We had everything we needed to cook rather than go out to eat every day. I was pretty impressed with how clean the grout in the bathroom was as well as the stove. There were plenty of linens, a cozy couch in the living room, and tons of blankets for snuggling. I will definitely stay here for my next visit.

This is an excellent location for a big family getaway to the lake. We loved the big yard and the deck, as well as the dock area to sit. My kids raved about the comfy beds, and the couches made for good sleep too for teens who love to stay up late and chat. Every cooking utensil or appliance imaginable which made cooking for our crew awesome! Thank you for a relaxing stay.

Everything about our entire experience here was amazing! From the time we found it online to the time we left, Dimitri was so kind, friendly and helpful. His communication was outstanding and answered every question we had. The house is just the cutest historic home and we felt right at home. Loved the acreage because we were able to play outside with our children every day and didn’t even have the need to go anywhere! We did take a day to visit the train station right down the road that Dimitri told us about. He let us know the locations of the nearest Walmart from the house so we drove there on our way to the house and got everything we needed for our stay. We didn’t need to go out again but there was also a Dollar General just a few minutes down the road if we needed any other supplies. I loved swinging on the front porch and exploring the property. The “neighborhood” was beautiful and we loved taking walks. It was just amazing and we would love to go back! I didn’t want to leave!!

Kendall was quick to respond and very kind! Definitely made my eventful trip smooth.

“Our stay at Maya’s place was fantastic! The house was impeccably clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back!”

We had a great stay at Eddie's place! Very close to restaurants, Colonial Williamsburg, and Busch Gardens. The unit we stayed in was spotless and had all of the amenities that we needed during our stay. Highly recommended!

This place was awesome! Clean and quiet with some amazing views. There’s an abundance of wild life so be mindful when driving. The host is amazing. There’s hot chocolate and a beautiful fire place. Blankets if you choose to sit on the balcony with some hot chocolate and enjoy the view. Many food choices to choose from that aren’t too far. Would definitely stay here again and recommend you do too.

Charming, comfortable and welcoming place. Host was very responsive and the place fit our needs perfectly.

We loved spending 3 days at your beautiful home! very cozy... it was so cozy that we felt right at home!!

We enjoyed our stay! We were in town for a wedding and I was in a great location. Matt was very responsive to us and extremely communicative!

This apartment is very spacious and comfortable. It is only a 30 minute drive into Appomattox. It was a great value and is a perfect place for one person or a couple to stay. The apartment has everything you need and Rebecca even had a homemade loaf of banana bread waiting for me upon arrival. It was delicious. Thank you Rebecca. If you are looking for a nice place to stay in the Appomattox, Lynchburg area I highly recommend this apartment.

We were a group of three couples who wanted our own bedroom and private bathroom to retreat to after enjoying busy days and evenings around Colonial Williamsburg. We really enjoyed the location of Kingsmill and all of the spacious condo amenities!

John's place was where we based family for our wedding at a local Vineyard. The place is located well in Somerset with access to many local vineyards. We went into Charlottesville for dinner one night, and if you have a car the distance isn't a problem. The place is super clean and the kitchen is great for making a meals with friends and family. Will be back for weekend getaway some time.

This was an amazing place to stay!

We had an unforgettable family vacation at "A Time to Chill". The name fits perfectly... lots of space for our family of five, great game room, super comfortable bedrooms, beautiful backyard, everything spotless and organized. We loved the fire pit with the star filled sky, having a barbecue dinner under the patio lights, and everyone enjoyed the hot tub! Top it off with the breathtaking views and hikes in the Shenandoah National Park, plenty of restaurants with good food, friendly folks, and fun places to sightsee. Every day we came "home" and enjoyed true family time with lots of laughs, sharing stories, hopes for the future and heartfelt prayers. Veronica was very responsive for all our questions. We will always treasure this vacation.

We had guests coming into town and needed a place for them last minute. Zoe's place was perfect- plenty of space for 6 adults. Good location, easy to get to. Worked out great and our guests raved!

This home was a very comfortable stay for my friends and I as we celebrated a birthday. The house is very spacious and perfect for a peaceful getaway in the Shenandoah National Park area. Darwin was very responsive. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Ben's rental home. The house was spotless and incredibly well-maintained—every room was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described (if not better!). The photos and description were spot on, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much attention to detail had gone into preparing the space. The owner was outstanding—super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Any questions we had were answered right away, and it really made us feel welcome and taken care of. Overall, this was one of the best rental experiences we’ve had. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, worry-free getaway!

Frank was an excellent host, and provided my friends and I a great stay in early April. Very clean, looks as advertised, and great for a private getaway.
