We return to this pet friendly, secluded spot every year! It’s the best escape and disconnect if you’re looking to relax and clear your mind! Highly recommend Surry Seafood for a nice dinner out (about 12-15min from the house), but recommend bringing groceries, because you truly won’t want to leave once you arrive. We already look forward to our stay next year!

Relaxing Retreat

Just the perfect retreat! The house was delightful, comfortable and well appointed. We loved how secluded the property was and having a private beach to explore was fantastic. Our dogs loved the woods and playing on the river!The owner was so nice, easy to communicate with and gave excellent tips to make our stay even more memorable. We highly recommend a stay at Analog and hope to book again sometime.

Wonderful property!

We had an amazing stay. There are a variety of things to do here, but the weather was chilly, so we stayed inside and cooked and played games that were available in the house. I think my favorite part was sitting by the firepit overlooking the river. Absolutely beautiful.

Family vacation

Every window has a great view, the house decor has open space. I got to see a bald eagle, sun rise and sun sets are so beautiful. Private beach front gives your family all beach to yourself.

Amazing!

An incredible house in an amazing location! We loved our time on the river. The house is set up with everything you need and has amazing views into the forest and of the river. Kayaks, SUPs, canoes and chairs are all provided to enjoy the river. Jeffrey was wonderful communicating before and during our stay. Great vacation and we hope to go back again!

Analog house

This is our second stay at Analog. Just as before, love the house, the nature around it, the beautiful quiet and the peace of the place. And we LOVE the "analog" aspect of it - it forces us back to the normal life before everything went digital! Definitely one of our top places to visit.

Perfect getaway

The Analog house was a little slice of heaven. You can tell that every detail of the property was set with care and intention. The home was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything that you need and more. The outdoor space was beautifully manicured and the best part was the private beach. Enjoying the sunset from there was magical. Would definitely go back.

60th Birthday Getaway

We loved the analog house! It is like having your own private sanctuary in the woods. The house was perfect for me and my husband and our two dogs. The kitchen is amazing and very well appointed. You really do have your own private beach front. We went kayaking, which was so nice and collected a bunch of shells. The sunsets on the beach every night were incredible. We will love this place and will definitely be back.

A Gem!

Our family has been here two years in a row. We love the location and private river access. Everything is there that you need for a relaxing, comfortable, and “analog” stay. My wife and I did both have to do some work while there and had no issues using our phones as hotspots. You can’t beat the views! We’ll Be back!

Awesome accomodations

The River House was way beyond our expectations. We came to Virginia from upstate NY to attend a wedding. We only stayed for 2 days. The house was beautiful and clean. The beach was gorgeous. We found lots of seashells and pretty colored rocks. We played games and laughed so hard. We will hopefully be returning to the River House.Thanks again to the Sadler family for sharing such a nice place with us.

Kinda don’t want to share

Magical! My first ever review and kinda don’t want to share the news about this amazing location. Everything, and I mean everything, is catered for here! The cabin is modern, gorgeous, fully stocked with everything you could dream up and then there’s the location itself, oh and the views!! Totally private with not another house in sight. We will be back here many times in the future.

Absolutely Amazing

Words cannot describe the absolute serenity that this property offers. Jeff was amazing in all aspects of the communication and check in. The house was perfect and far exceeded expectations, and the property checked every box. The owners pride and attention to detail is unparalleled and show is all aspects of the property. We have traveled to many places and this is by far the absolute best. There is nothing that we wanted or needed while there and loved the solitude. We can’t wait to return soon with our 3 boys. You won’t be disappointed and the peace and refresh you leave with is like nothing else!

Beach Beauty

3 generations had a blast at this hidden gem. The beach was the highlight for everyone; beach combing- for whale bone and sharks teeth, paddleboarding, floatie chair, kayaking, and fishing (catfish mainly). We did manage some historical sights but the beach was by far the winner! Great accommodations , although we did play a bit of Goldilocks with the sleeping arrangements, but it didnt detract from the trip. Oh yes- google couldn't quite figure out the best way to the ferry. If your phone tells you 25-28 minutes just look for 618 and it cuts the time WAY down!

Tranquility

I stayed here while out of town for 30 days on night shift. This place was amazingly quiet during the day to get some rest. My family joined me twice while here and the children enjoyed every aspect of this place. The river front is a beautiful place to go collect sea shells and enjoy the sunrise with a coffee. Not having internet or TV for 30 days was like a reset for the soul. The kitchen is extremely accommodating, you can cook whatever you like in there.The host has was great, easy to communicate with and very respectful. I appreciate and respect all they have done with this place and I would definitely stay here again.thank you to the host for building a wonderful getaway!

Exactly what we needed!

This was our second time staying at the James River House. We had been looking forward to our trip all year and it did not disappoint! The perfect place to get away from it all, enjoy the beauty of nature and reconnect with each other. Our 13 and 15 year olds loved swimming, fishing, looking for shells, fossils, and shark teeth. We spent so much time on the water, and even had the opportunity to see a large group of dolphins swim by us, while we were in the water! We even love taking trips on the ferry to check out other areas. The renovations to the house this year are gorgeous, it felt like staying in a resort in the middle of the woods! We recommend the James River house for any family looking for a relaxing time in a beautiful setting and unplugging from everything for a bit:)
