We really enjoyed our 3-night stay over Spring break at Chickahominy Riverside with our 2 adult kids and our adult lab. Although the weather was unseasonably cold during our stay, we got to enjoy fishing off the dock twice but without any catches. Sitting by the river was so peaceful and quiet, perfect for some much-needed serenity. James was a very warm and accommodating host who went out of his way to ensure we each had our own working fishing rods ready to enjoy for our family fishing getaway. The beds were comfy and we found everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We didn't realize both spaces were studios but it worked out well for my older son to use the upstairs studio with the full kitchen so we could make sure he didn't sleep all day when it was time for us to cook breakfast. We made good use of all of the downstairs entertainment, it was perfect for spending quality family time together. If you are coming with a dog during cold weather, we highly recommend dining in with your pup at Craft31 in Williamsburg and sitting near the fireplace or visiting Copper Fox Distillery. Almost everything is a 30-40 minute drive away so this is a more remote location that requires some planning but is a nice escape from the hustle and bustle. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!
Perfect for our visit. This was one of the very few places without steps. Was great for my elderly mother. Property is beautifully located on the river. Made for some great quiet time. Nice for teenagers and kids to have their own space below and a nice retreat above for the adults. Would be nice to come back in the summer!
Nice and quiet. Excellent choice if you are looking for an outdoor get away.

Thanks so much for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting—it's definitely a great spot for a relaxing outdoor escape. We'd love to host you again anytime!
We had a delightful time at this property on the Chickahominy. The accommodations were very nice, the place was clean, and the host was helpful. We hope to be back.
My family and I loved staying here. Was such a great place and my teenagers loved having access to the pool table, air hockey and arcade games in the room they were sleeping in! Was only 30 minutes from Busch Gardens too!
This place provided the peace and refreshment that we needed. Fishing fun on the dock (biggest fish caught was almost 8 pounds!), a great place to kayak, and endless indoor entertainment for the rainy days (pool, air hockey, video games, giant Jenga). Despite the rain, we had a great time. The sunsets were amazing! James Divine answered all my questions and was a delightful host.
The property has sleeping areas, rather than private bedrooms. The kitchen is not fancy, but with good planning we fed our family group of 7 comfortably. The grill and firepit is a plus. Despite rainy weather we all had a good time at this unusually entertaining property. The property owner could not have been more friendly or helpful.
Great location & wonderful amenities! You can’t beat the beauty of the river’s view and the woods that surround the property. We stayed with our two young sons and they loved playing outside, the arcade games, and the dock. The only draw back for families is not having an internal staircase, but it wasn’t too much of a problem for us. This is definitely more for a rustic getaway rather than a luxurious stay. It worked very well for our family of boys.
My family and I had a great time kayaking on the river! The property was also convenient for visiting Williamsburg area sites. The property owner was friendly and helpful. Property was clean and accurate to the listing.

Thank you for your lovely review! It was a pleasure to have you stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
We loved our stay. Rode our bikes from Richmond and it was a great place to relax. Beautiful views of the river and so peaceful. The host could not have been more accommodating, he was super nice! We took the boat taxi to Blue Heron restaurant both nights and it was lovely. We hope to return soon.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved your stay and enjoyed the beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. It sounds like you had a great time exploring the area and dining at Blue Heron. We appreciate your kind words about our hospitality, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
We loved this property! It was perfect for our family. While we spent much of our time in the Williamsburg area, we thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet at the end of the day. I was a little unsure of staying on the same property as the owner and was afraid it would feel as if there were no privacy. I could not have been more wrong. James was available but not at all intrusive. We’re hoping to return in the future!
Quiet retreat close to Colonial historical triangle
The host was very gracious.
Upper area very quaint and nicely decorated.
Lower area also very nice to stay or use just for play.
Very quiet
Enjoyed very much

We truly appreciate your wonderful feedback. Your presence was a pleasure, and we can't wait to have you return.
Absolutely beautiful place on the river - We only stayed in the area two days and had other obligations and didn’t get to enjoy all the offered amenities. But will definitely keep this location as a favorite and we hope to return soon.

We're overjoyed by your positive feedback. Your presence was truly appreciated, and we can't wait to have you back as our guest.
Amazing! James is a fantastic host. He was quick to answer questions or to pop over to help if we needed anything. Top notch fellow. The property was perfect for our needs! Our teens loved staying in the game room....couldnt get them off the pool table!The river location is stunning and filled with local history. Located about half an hour from Williamsburg so quick enough (for me!) to get to "all the things" while also being able to "get away from it all" here. We hated to leave and hope to come back one day.Thank you James for sharing your place and hospitality with us! And the history fact you shared about John Smith was very appreciated. What a fun piece of history to live so close to.
Thanks for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure hosting you!
