Beth thought of everything. We had such a nice time sharing meals around the table and relaxing on the porch. The boys loved the river beach and the kayaks. Caught some catfish. Everything inside was clean and confortable!
Cabin has comfortable seating in living area, well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed reading the many books available, playing checkers, ping pong and pool. Owner is great- very responsive and helpful. Access to the river is not what we expected. To reach the stone beach, we walked down a grassy field, through a path in the woods, down a steep muddy slope holding onto a rope railing, then through a dry marsh area. To put the kayaks in the water, thereâs a second route to the river along a grass path about 300 yards. To get into the kayak one must sink into 8-10â of thick mud. Thereâs no other place to step in order to get into the kayak. Once on the river, the water is lovely, plenty of fish to catch, and thereâs no one else around so itâs peaceful.
Riverâs Bend cottage is a delightful place to stay whether to rock on the porch, grill dinner outside, or hike or raft along the Upper James River. Our host was easily available to reach and was responsive to our questions and requests.
This is our 4th stay at Riverâs Bend. Itâs so wonderful that it has become an irresistible habit. We love the cabin, the location, the river and the host! Beth is truly a Premier Host!! Weâve already booked for next year.
This cabin was fabulous!! The pictures did not do it justice on the website. We were able to unwind from the stress of city life and totally enjoy the beauty of nature. Beth was delightful in every aspect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable experience.
We found a true gem when we booked the Riverbend Cabin. Beautiful and peaceful with preserved nature and wildlife to explore with the girls before and after our daily excursions. We all had a great time.
After relocating back to the States we have been fortunate to have canoed the upper James River many times. It still blows me away that people nearby do not know how beautiful it is. That said, I am embarrassed to have finally stumbled across this absolute perfect retreat. The cabin, location, and owners are just amazing. My sons had spring break and this last minute choice was perfect. Thank you, Beth! Weâll definitely be back!
Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate during our stay, but the well stocked cabin gave the family plenty of entertainment inside and warm around the fireplace.
We absolutely loved our stay! The cabin is super cozy and the grounds are beautiful. I highly recommend if you looking for a secluded getaway to relax and reconnect!
A couple friends and I went fishing on the upper James and rented the River's Bend cabin. What a fabulous place! The cabin was clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a 3-day getaway. There are beautiful views of the river from the multi-level back deck and the screened in porch overlooking the mountains was a great spot for a nap or evening cocktail. Our host Elizabeth was top notch!! She provided a wealth of information in advance, was very responsive to all of our questions, and ensured we had everything we needed. I seldom leave reviews but this experience was so good that I needed to share. Thanks Elizabeth and hope to be back in the spring!
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin! The screened in porch was perfect for having a cup of coffee in the morning and ending the day there with a glass of wine. There are trails to walk on the property that our dogs loved! Highly recommend staying here!
Pictures do not do this quaint cabin justice. I walked in and was so happy with how adorable this cabin was. 4 of us enjoyed a lovely yet rainy weekend. The rain was just an added bonus to the experience of being in Eagle Rock. We sat on the porch with the rain and caught up with each other after a long period of time. I canât thank Beth enough for the hospitality and the above and beyond that she is and did for us. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to get away and enjoy a sweet treat. You might even see a bear!
Family time! We spend one weekend yearly away together. This was an outstanding year.
This was an outstanding property. The mountains and river were beautiful. Great sunrises and sunsets. The cabin was exactly what we were hoping. Most of all, the hostess, Beth, was very welcoming at the same time understanding we were mostly interested in âchillingâ out. I would recommend this to anyone.
This was probably the best rental home we have ever stayed at. The home itself is beautifully laid out with all the comforts for a perfect family getaway. We loved roaming around the property and taking in beautiful Mountain Viewâs from the front porch. Our kids loved catching fireflies at night on the back deck while my wife and I watched the sunset behind the mountains.
Location was perfect, secluded enough to enjoy the sounds of nature and solitude but close enough to town to get essentials.
The host went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. She let my daughters ride her tractor and brush hog, my 8 year old said it was the best part of the trip. The house has kayaks, plenty of indoor games, outdoor games, etc⊠to make sure everyone is entertained. We finished every night with a family game. We will be coming back soon, very impressed with everything.
This is such a great place for when you want to get away but still be relatively close to local attractions. Our group consisted of myself, my brother, his wife, their 2 daughters, a boyfriend and a friend. We came for the VA Safari Park, the Natural Bridge, caverns, and kayaking. I brought my nieces here 2 years ago and we had such a great time, they wanted to come again! Everyone enjoyed their stay. The cabin is beautiful and very clean! Beth, the host, is very welcoming and responsive if you have any questions. Highly recommend!
We stayed for 4 days and had a wonderful and relaxed time. The location was peaceful, the cabin was beautiful and the overall experience was excellent. The host is wonderful and very quick to respond to questions. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch at dark watching the fireflies. It was a perfect relaxing getaway. We hope to be able to stay again next year.
