Cabin holiday rentals in James River

Great home! Wonderful Pool! Well stocked and clean home! We had an amazing family weekend! Very responsive owner! Can’t wait to return!

Amazing experience for my micro honeymoon here - very relaxing. Only note is that the hot water doesn’t last for more than 1 min

Kristen was a fantastic host! I booked a year in advance, and she was very helpful from start to finish. The stay was perfect for our out-of-town guest! Location, cleanliness and great communication was top notch!

Highly recommend this spot! If you're looking for a chill place to relax with a friend, this is it. It feels like your own private hangout, almost like a treehouse vibe, but in a cozy cabin. Super peaceful, comfortable, and perfect for just unwinding or catching up. We had an awesome time here and would definitely come back. If you want something low-key, personal, and memorable, this is the place.

We had a lovely stay at this cabin in the woods. Standing at the center of the cabin, you end up surrounded by nature as you are able to look through all the windows and the sky light at the beautiful greenery. It was a sweet sanctuary from the city. I appreciated every detail that enhanced my relaxation and comfort at this cabin from the many amenities to the decor. It’s a perfect escape.

This is our second property stay from this host group. We have enjoyed both mountain top locations and truly felt like we could disconnect, relax, and have a few small adventures with our pup. Truly Amazing Views!!!! Clean neutral colors and updated amenities. Easy to find things to cook with. **Also- Shout out to The Italian Job Pizza spot. We had crazy rain which delayed our getting to the house from DC, so we shifted from cooking to ordering in and they delivered!!!!!

I had a last minute stay at Kelly’s cabin, and it was so peaceful! The surroundings are beautiful and so wonderful to hear the rushing creek next to the cabin. The hot tub was a much needed respite from a very busy week! Beds are comfortable and the cabin is well laid out. I look forward to returning!

Very comfortable and quiet place! We had a relaxing time here and chose this place for its proximity to skyline drive and hiking in the national park. The kitchen is decently stocked for cooking, and we loved the personal touch of the fine pottery dish-ware made by Alan himself. Highly recommend for the hot tub as well!

Words cannot describe the feeling of pure calm that comes over you when you arrive. This place is truly a treasure hidden in the woods. Once you cross the creek you leave the world and all your cares behind. The host pays attention to all the little details and it shows. We have stayed at quite a few places but this one is on our return list. We look forward to sliding up for a long weekend in the late fall or early winter. (Tip- be sure to spend 15 min reading the welcome package it is time well spent).

We stayed here for a wedding in Charlottesville and, while the cabin was a bit out of the way from where most guests were staying in town, it ended up being the best decision we made. Our group was too large for hotel rooms, and this cabin gave us the perfect place to spread out and relax. We honestly wished we had more time to enjoy the space itself—it's ideal for a peaceful getaway weekend. Unfortunately, wedding events kept us running around, but we could easily see ourselves coming back just to unwind and take it all in. The property offers plenty to do, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. A couple of small suggestions that would’ve helped us (specifically as guests getting ready for a wedding): a full-length mirror in the downstairs bathroom and some brighter lighting in the bathrooms for hair and makeup. That said, these things wouldn’t be an issue for a regular weekend trip. Overall, a charming cabin that we hope to return to when we can truly enjoy it!

A wonderful spot for a weekend getaway! Super clean, charming, and cozy. Peaceful nature and views yet not too far from town. As so many guests have mentioned, the winery next door is lovely and makes for a fun outing. The cabin has everything you need and more! Highly recommend!

No cell service. No Wi-Fi. Pure bliss! This is a truly special place where I felt I finally found the peace I needed. There were beautiful places to walk on the property with magical winding trails and multiple bodies of water to visit along the way. There was a fully set up kitchen with everything you would need to cook your meals. The views were beautiful and the kinds of birds and horses were all that ever greeted our ears each morning. I wish I could have stayed here for the rest of my life! If you love the outdoors, great local spots to eat (the old dairy and Gristmill were divine), horses and dogs, hot springs to soak in.. THIS IS GONNA BE HEAVEN FOR YOU!

This is a lovely property, the porch and swing alone make it worth the stay! The beds were very comfortable and the place is cozy and styled beautifully

Loved the place! Area is beautiful and peaceful as well. Would absolutely come back to this place. Owners are friendly and the fresh eggs were a nice surprise although we never used them.

This place is truly a rare find. The house is immaculately kept and is situated on a waterfall and nestled in the woods. It was perfect. Rhonda thought of everything and was so thoughtful and kind. We will be back!!

We loved staying at Cedars Rest! It was the most perfect property, extremely quiet. Safe location, easily accessible to local places - winery, wedding venues, etc. thank you for a great weekend getaway!!

From the moment we first arrived, my newlywed wife and I absolutely fell in love with this cabin. Sitting just a few hundred feet northeast of the pinnacle of Sharp Ridge and overlooking High Knob to the east, this little mountain retreat is a close friend to dazzling sunrises and a bejeweled night sky, winding Allegheny roads and the sarcastically-named Dry Run, a whole host of critterkind and the timbers wherein they make their homes, yet a stranger to civilization, the worldwide web, and—of course—blue waters. In our case, we wanted to disconnect from the technocracy in which we live and exclusively spend quality time with one another immersed in the beauty of nature, and we could not have dreamed of a better spot. Despite the isolation, the charming town of Franklin is only a fifteen-minute drive away and has plenty of groceries, gas, restaurants, and that all-important cell service. As I wrote in the guest book, West Virginia stole our hearts and this cabin was the mastermind.

The cabin was beautiful! Wish we were there for more than the one night. We will come back for a longer trip! The trout pond was a lot of fun for my 12 y/o as well. He caught several large rainbows!

If you’re looking for a peaceful spot on the river, punctuated by an occasional train whistle (across the river), this is it! Bryan and Wanda made sure we had what we needed and were very kind. The cabin is low on frills but we expected that. Access to the river is very easy and our son enjoyed several afternoon floats. Paddlemore was terrific for a weekend stay.

Had an amazing stay at this cabin for a long weekend trip for two couples and two doggos! Fantastic place to stay to explore the park! Felt right at home with great kitchen accessories, laundry supplies and shower supplies. The dogs loved the fenced in yard to get their energy out! Beds were super comfy and the shower was amazing! The one bedroom is a loft with stairs to access so you can plan accordingly with your group, it has a privacy wall so no issues there ! Second bedroom was on the main level!

This is our second year in a row that we stayed here for our annual family retreat (me, my wife and adult children with their partners). We loved it the first time and it was every bit as good the second. The house is in a beautiful peaceful setting tucked away in the woods with a mountain view. We spent most of our time during the day out on the decks, which were very comfortable with plenty of seating, outdoor couches and tables. We also took advantage of the fire pit. The house is actually much larger in size than how it looks . There is a good-sized living room with huge couch and large TV. Everyone had private rooms, which were very clean and comfortable with excellent furnishings. The kitchen was fully supplied for our cooking needs. Whenever we had a question Breanna was very quick to respond. If you're looking for a true getaway, I highly recommend staying here.

From the moment I set foot on the property my heart skipped a beat. Everything about our stay was a perfect. The cabin was clean and cozy. All the practical things comfortable bed, cold ac, hot shower, well stocked kitchen, comfy couch, big windows for taking in the peaceful surroundings and watching the bison. Getting into town was an easy 15min drive if you wish. But I never wanted to leave. I could not have wished for a better view of the bison. I watched them come out into the pasture every morning, sun bathe, munch on grass, roll in the dirt, and retire up the hill each evening. This was the most amazingly relaxing couple of days and more than I could have dreamed. I cannot wait to return.

Had a great stay at the cabin in Big Island, VA. The place was clean, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Loved being surrounded by nature and close to hiking spots. Would definitely come back!

You want beautiful scenery, relaxing environment, wildlife, and privacy. You can get it all in this cabin. I absolutely loved it. Have yet to stay in a place like this for that price. I absolutely recommend for a single get away to do classwork in silence, or a romantic and beautiful getaway as a couple. It truly is a place to stay for whatever reason you make it.
