4.84 out of 5, across 436 stays

Six years of hosting, and the same three things come up again and again: the porch, the quiet, and how quickly Cortney answers.

A great place with easy access to the James River. One of the best porches I’ve ever relaxed on, and the quietest evenings I’ve experienced in a long time.

We had a great vacation at the cabin. Our children loved the tree house and fox den. My wife and I enjoyed dancing to the records on the porch. The cabin was serene and the Christmas…

Cortney’s place was great overall! We had an issue with the AC the first night but it was cool the other nights so it didn’t impact them at all — and Cortney reimbursed us for the first…

This place had EXACTLY the vibe the pictures and descriptions indicated, and it was EXACTLY what we were looking for. The porch was A+++. Cortney was extremely responsive before and during our stay. If you love nature but want to sleep with a roof over your head, stay here. So many nice touches that most vacation rentals do not have (wood for the bonfire, gas for the grill, plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc.). We look forward to staying here again!

We had a great vacation at the cabin. Our children loved the tree house and fox den. My wife and I enjoyed dancing to the records on the porch. The cabin was serene and the Christmas decorations made us feel like we were in a Hallmark movie. Overall a great location, clean, and family friendly. Also recommend getting the breakfast basket — it was delicious!

Cortney’s place was great overall! We had an issue with the AC the first night but it was cool the other nights so it didn’t impact them at all — and Cortney reimbursed us for the first night, which I thought was very thoughtful and much appreciated! It was a very cool, quaint place that felt far enough away from everything else. She was a great host and very responsive and helpful with everything!
