Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in James River

I stayed at Mark’s place while visiting my daughter, who’s in the Navy, and it was the perfect spot for some peaceful downtime. Even though it’s a shared home, the bedroom and bathroom felt very private and exceptionally clean. I was comfortable the entire time and slept well. The house itself is like walking into an art installation—colorful, unexpected, and full of personality. You never quite know what light or feature will come to life next, which made it fun and memorable. Both hosts are clearly creative souls with a flair for design. The backyard was my favorite part—lush with plants, fountains, and statues, all backing up to the Chesapeake waters. At night, it turns into a magical light show with just the sounds of nature and water features. So peaceful and calming. They even had a little breakfast area set up with bakery items and coffee—such a thoughtful touch. I’d definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind and restful experience.

Sue's house was lovely and charming, and a real B&B experience -- sharing a beautiful, peaceful room in a hospitable person's home. She made a very nice breakfast too!

We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect, and the hosts were absolutely delightful—warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout. The property itself was stunning! Highly recommend!

Enjoyed our short, sweet stay at Stuart Hill which was above and beyond expectations with bird watching on the front porch, baby deer spotting on the back path, great night sleep, and delicious healthy breakfast to start our day! We were just passing through to get to a meeting but so enjoyed our time with these amazing hosts we need to come back. We were blessed to find their BNB

It was a very short notice booking…like an hours notice…Kathy and her husband Martin accommodated me. I am so appreciative of that. Martin met me on arrival and checked me in. A VERY pleasant man. He was very kind and helpful. He was so attentive even though he’s recovering from knee surgery, his knee was very swollen. Very tough man! The area was out of the way, and very beautiful. I really enjoyed my stay. The decor was personal. Kathy’s photos and art decorated the place as well as items from their travels. Thank you so much.

Wanda was the absolute best! We’ve stayed at many places in Lynchburg over the years. The Acorn Hill Lodge will be our go to spot from now on. From the super amazing cozy king size bed, to the absolutely delicious made to order complementary breakfast to our pup being welcomed like a member of the family. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Oh, and the spa!!! My daughter had the full body hot stone massage and was in heaven!! This place is a must!!

What a fun stay! We got to witness the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen here. The animals on the farm are so friendly. I was able to take my dog for the stay and he met bigger animals for the first time and they became friends instantly. I loved what they have done with opening up the family farm to enjoy. It was very personable and they made us feel like family. The homemade country breakfast was also one of my favorites. We were visiting the area hiking and decided to stay since it was a few hours away and I am glad we were able to stay here. Although our visit was short, it was sweet. Thank you for welcoming my family.. beautiful stay.

Beautiful historic home. Great location with walkable downtown. Easy check in and comfortable accommodations. Delicious muffins for breakfast! Would definitely stay here again!

Very cute bed and breakfast in Louisa! The space was as pictured, and I enjoyed the variety they had at breakfast.

This is in a beautiful location, on country roads. Very clean, quiet and just what I needed. Georgi is a super host. Very helpful with local recommendations and did not tire of my many questions!

Beautiful, convenient accommodations; knowledgeable and friendly hostess; fabulous breakfast. Wish we could have stayed another day. Jim and Barbara Richardson, Eire, Pa.

I knew the area and have family that stays in the same community so it was why I picked the place. There is free breakfast every morning and paid dinners. Zoya communicates very well and is a good person to have a conversation with. I would definitely stay again and I only had breakfast once while I was there and it was an amazing portion and delicious

Beautiful Victorian home. Susan made a huge fantastic breakfast that I was unable to finish!

Terri has created a wonderful space to stay. The space is lovely and inviting! I have stayed here multiple times, on my trips back to Richmond, and have felt right at home.

Our stay was all we had hoped for. The location is back in the woods a bit, where it is peaceful and beautiful. The cabin is tastefully done and quite attractive. Sally was an excellent hostess and was responsive in all matters. She even went the extra mile by finding another place for us to stay after we made an error on our reservations. Sally was interesting to talk with and was warm and friendly at all times. All our expectations were met and even exceeded.

Amazing host, will stay here next time in Covington.

We had such a wonderful time at Linda’s beautiful bnb! We only stayed for one night as a stop-over on a longer road trip, but we felt so welcomed- Linda’s hospitality was exceptional, and so was the space. We enjoyed hanging out in the historic parlor playing board games by the old mill stone. Breakfast and the snacks on offer were a welcome surprise. The room was just as described, and very clean and comfortable. We highly recommend and hope to be back!

We had an amazing two night stay here. Like many of the other reviews have mentioned, I’d recommend planning additional time to just relax and enjoy the property, it’s really a destination on its own. Marisela is an amazing host and the world needs more people like her. One morning we had to get to a conference we were attending & she made us coffees and breakfast sandwiches to go! We also met her husband during the stay and he was very kind and helpful. The house itself is huge and has plenty of spaces you can relax privately inside or outside even with other guests staying there (we were the only ones there during our stay). The Master Suite and Bath/claw tub were set up beautifully and the value for all of the included amenities is really unbeatable.

This was the second time we stayed at Heritage Hill B&B. We loved it so much we came back and brought friends. It was just as nice the second time. We stayed in the Blue room last year and the Gold room this year. Both are beautifully decorated. We also had use of the living room and the patio with fireplace. Scott had a fire ready after our day of hiking and visiting wineries. The views are breathtaking. Dana makes a gourmet breakfast each morning and they both provide great ideas of things to do and see. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely loved our stay in the Library Loft! It was the perfect cozy getaway — warm, inviting, and full of charm. The host made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived, and their thoughtful touches didn’t go unnoticed. Breakfast was such a treat and truly set the tone for a relaxing morning. We can’t wait to come back! 5 stars all the way!

Very responsive host. Very quiet and comfortable stay.

Beautiful, unique and scrumptious hand-crafted breakfasts (locally sourced and in season) were spectacular! Pristine, comfortable, relaxing. Lots of activity options on site (kayaks, golf balls, painting, hammocks, croquet, bikes, swimming pool, huge private river front space). Woody and Michelle are lovely and do everything they can to make guests comfortable on site, and they recommend local spots to enjoy. Blue Ruin in Cambridge was a major highlight - we never would have found it if they hadn't suggested it. The Anchorage 1800 is the perfect place to bring friends & family and make it a group trip weekend!

We had a great stay for our ski week at Snowshoe. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The downstairs is very cozy and tastefully decorated. The upstairs room was very clean, spacious, and had a beautiful view. The Christmas decor was a nice touch. They also accommodated our dog and gave him lots of love. Highly recommended!

First time staying at a BNB, and it was a great experience. This place is amazing, I felt like I was on vacation. the house is fairly new and everything about the house is new. Sabrina and her husband are great and they made me feel right at home, plus the breakfast in the morning was amazing. cannot wait to come back.
