The house was even better than pictured! It had such a fantastic feeling of warmth when we walked in with great design details, all the amenities we needed, so we could walk in, unpack and start cooking / chatting immediately.The outdoor spaces were fantastic with easy area for parking and gathering. There are local restaurants and shops nearby for food or coffee as well as browsing. If we do another ladies meet up in Richmond, I would want to stay there again and would recommend it to anyone visiting.

Everything you need and more!

Our family had an unexpected month-long stay here after we had a house fire. Everything was perfect. The house is just as described, with thoughtful touches throughout the house. The beds were so comfortable, and the nespresso machine made each morning seem like a little luxury. It had everything our family needed and all our questions were answered promptly! I will be recommending this to all my family and friends when they come into town.
