Gary and his wife were so hospitable. House is beautiful and clean! The view is impeccable! Wish we could have stayed longer!

This was the best AirBnB experience my wife and I have had so far. A fantastic experience. If we're back in the area again, we're going to stay here.

Beautiful house and location right on the water. Beautiful bedroom with access to fridge and microwave. We enjoyed chatting with Nani and she was very helpful. We stopped on our bicycle trip from Jamestown to Richmond. It was 30 miles from Jamestown and 22 miles from Richmond. Note for bikers: There are no grocery stores or restaurants near this home. The house is 11 miles beyond the Charles City. We ended up eating lunch at the Courthouse Grill at the Charles City Courthouse and ordered an extra meal to take with us for dinner. That worked out well.

A wonderful stay with a wonderful couple. They have a beautiful house. Meticulously decorated and impeccably clean. It was a joy to stay with these folks. The room was beautiful the bathroom was great and I slept really well. I would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home with beautiful access to lake. Would stay here again

Gary and Nani were great hosts, we got room with a beautiful water view. Me and my son enjoyed fishing for catfish on the pier!

An idyllic spot on the river, beautiful home, gracious hosts... I couldn't have asked for anything more! I wish I had more time to spend relaxing in such a wonderful spot. Peacefully placed on the river and easy access to lots of great cycling--what a perfect retreat from the DC insanity.

What a beautiful home and a lovely couple. Although our stay was brief, our hosts were so warm and welcoming. They did everything they could to make our stay more comfortable. The town is small so be sure to eat before you get there as it's a bit remote.... but so beautiful.

The house has 6 bedrooms and we used all of them. They were clean and comfortable. The hostess made sure the house was stocked with the food, towels, and products our group requested. She provided a delicious brunch and when we had trouble with a lamp she fixed it immediately. The screened in porch was a great place for our four generations to gather. The Courthouse Grill next door was a fun convenient place for one of lunches and one supper. It will be a spectacular property when the kitchen undergoes a deep cleaning and it is de-cluttered.

We stayed that house with National Uzbekistan Cycling team to participate in the World Cyclin Championship in Richmond. We are very glad with that house and owner. This house and area are great. The landlord is very polite and friendly. So we recommend that house to everyone. Gleb Groysman

There were two major reasons we loved our stay at the Nance-Major House. One is the house itself and the other is the host. Robin is the utmost in graciousness and hospitality. She could not have been more accommodating or helpful. Among other things, Robin put a Christmas tree up for us in the parlor. When we entered the house, we were entering a piece of American history. The front staircase and the wood flooring are beautiful. The house is very large on three floors with a half step here and there. The back yard is flat, green, serene and relaxing. A lovely, large horse is in the field to the left of the house. The Courthouse Grill is to the right. It is a 35+ minute drive into Williamsburg from the house along one of the most picturesque roads in America. Keep in mind that this home is also rented as a B&B. Therefore, we found clothes in a closet and lots of food in cabinets, the fridge and freezer. We have not had this experience in other rentals. Everything else was very clean and in excellent condition. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love a return visit.

Sean was a great host and the apartment was perfect. It was really bigger than I expected. I will definitely stay there next time I visit Williamsburg.

Sadly, we only stayed with Sean for one night as we attended a wedding, however, our stay was enjoyable and the place was spotless. Sean was a great host and communicated with us before we arrived so we were more than happy with our experience. Hopefully, we will stay there again soon, for a bit longer.

Sean was a wonderful host. We could not meet, but he made sure we had everything that we needed and more. He kept in contact with us and made us feel welcome in his house.

Nice apartment, could have used 2 bathrooms and a pull out sofa on the first floor to accommodate four golfers

It was perfect! The apartment was as described, the amenities were great!

Great cottage! Lots of space for our group of 6 to sleep comfortably, cook our own meals, and play. Close to local attractions like Yorktown!

Cozy home in the woods. Very comfortable and quiet. Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I reserved Sean's place at the last minute and he was very accommodating. The pictures honestly don't do his place justice. His place is beautiful and the surrounding area is gorgeous. It was so comfortable, that I felt like I was at home. I wish we had had time to stay there longer and we hope to stay there again in the future!

Gary's residence is a beautiful home on the James River. Gary and his wife were very welcoming and made us feel at home. It a short drive to numerous plantations in the area. and we enjoyed our visit.

The pictures looked great, and the reviews sold it to us. When we arrived, we were bowled over by the beauty of the home. A five star hotel would struggle to compete. Gary and Nani are great hosts. It's a pity pur schedule doesn't allow us longer to stay here. We'd love to. Best Airbnb experience so far, by a country mile!

We loved staying in this beautiful house. It wss very quiet, in a serene neighborhood on the water. Beautiful location, lovely home, and Gary and hi wife were very polite and welcoming. We spent most of our trip out and about and didn't interact with them very much, but they were always friendly and full of information. This is a great location for accessing the "Historical Triangle" area of Virginia, if you don't mind a slightly long (but very scenic) 45 minute drive.

Gary and Nani will take care of you like family from the moment you book your trip. Their hospitality is great, their house is peaceful with a beautiful view. This place is a perfect for my off the grid getaway. Definitely going back.

Really had an amazing stay. The home is right next to the river as described. Had lunch on the pier and enjoyed awesome views from our very clean and well apointed room. We regret not having time to go fishing. Gary and Nani are great people and awesome hosts, they were very involved, always there to help make our stay more comfortable and friendly. Nani even gave me a free haircut when she heard I was visiting for my graduation! On the last morning Gary made us a breakfast to top off a wonderful stay. Would stay there again!

Gary and Nani are wonderful, welcoming hosts. On the night we arrived Nani made us noodles and had dinner with us. The house is perfectly clean and very large. We slept like babies all 4 nights. I am ex-army so it was good to talk with Gary about his experiences in the military. Sitting out in the back yard on the river is especially relaxing. even though the bath is shared you hardly notice. One day I walked to Shirley Plantation - the oldest in Virginia...its right next door.

Really lovely home with exceptional hosts. Highly recommend stopping here for some remarkable hospitality. Thank you for the great stay!

This was a wonderful home to stay in. Everything was beautiful, and the hosts were so nice and friendly. My favorite moment was seeing the fog over the water in the morning and seeing two eagles fishing right near the dock.

We had a wedding group stay in all of the rooms Gary offered. All the rooms were very clean and spacious. The neighborhood was very quiet and the pier was an added bonus to our Sunday morning. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at Gary and Nani's place over the Columbus Day weekend for two nights to enjoy a visit to Richmond and Busch Gardens. Their house was beautiful with an amazing view and comfortable decor. Both Gary and Nani were very welcoming and they invited us to join them for dinner on one of the nights. The food was delicious and we especially liked the green hot peppers and korean dipping sauce. As for location, their house was about 45m-1hr away from Busch Gardens, with a very scenic drive. All in all we were very happy with our two nights at Gary and Nani's house and it was a pleasant excursion from DC.

Our stay with Gary was great. The house is very beautiful inside and outside. The rooms are big, everything is clean and looks new. Gary's wife was very pleasant and helpful. The proximity to the lake makes it even more appealing. I would definitely recommend staying in Gary's home.

Gary was incredibly nice and went above and beyond for us while staying there for just one evening. I would highly recommend anyone stay with him at his beautiful house with a breathtaking view of the James River.

Gary and Nami were most welcoming to me on my 5 day stay. The room was wonderful, overlooking the James river, clean, well decorated with plenty of room and large private bath. Nami was the best...invitation for eating and food always there. Long conversations with Gary sharing military experiences. I felt at home with them. This is an exceptional BNB experience.

Our hosts Nani and Gary were fantastic. When we arrived they showed us to this absolutely beautiful room and Nani surprised us with a delicious dinner. The house is on the river with gorgeous views. You couldn't have asked for more. We'd go there again if we were in the neighborhood. Just lovely.

It was an awkward situation--when I arrived, I learned there was no key and thus no way to lock up my computer or belongings. The host mentioned that since he and his wife were the only ones home, I had no need to worry, but there were some other people over at one point. I get anxious when people decide for you that your things are safe unlocked. I ended up lugging my laptop around on the plantation tour, although I should say that I had no problems at all with theft, even on the afternoon that I left my purse and bag in my room while kayaking. The host was also a bit paternalistic in tone. On the way out the door I received a scolding--the host stopped me in my tracks to say that he was disappointed in me. It turns out that he had forgotten to tell me where to find the life jackets, and I had taken the kayak out without knowing. He had called me on my cell while I was out to check on me, and I was having a good time. I was back by 9 pm, but they acted like I had been lost at sea for days. I felt badly as I am also a fan of putting safety first and generally very cautious. But the conversation was very awkward and inappropriate and seemed to boil down to the fact that the host hadn't thought through potential liabilities beforehand--I was the first to take the kayak out. It came from a neighbor down the street, and I was glad to have the chance to explore the coast line from the water. But I don't know that I would stay here again--it was a bit expensive for the remote location, and the larger experience was awkward. Also, the sheets smelt like cigarette smoke.

Gary & Nani were wonderful hosts! They were very warm and kind and Nani welcomed us as we arrived. The house is very beautifully decorated, carries a lot of character & charm! Our room had the beautiful waterfront view and was very clean and well maintained. It is a peaceful & quiet neighborhood. They are located in between Richmond & Williamsburg, so it was convenient for us to visit both places in the weekend. We would be glad to visit them again!

We spent our memorial day weekend at Anna's river house. House is very well appointed and clean. Anna was kind enough to greet us when we arrive and walked through the check-in process. The house is pretty big and airy and it is located on the hill overlooking the James River. View is truly amazing. We had no problem communicating with Anna as she was always fast responding to our inquires. I recommend this beautiful house to the family who wanst to spent their vacations in peaceful and quite place surrounded by beautiful nature. I love about: Spacious, quite, beautiful, & clean house/ amazing view/ lovely owner, great outdoor activity places such as beautiful beach, strawberry farm, park, etc/ amenities and some basic food items are stocked up Good to know: No near grocery store so please shop plenty of foods before you get there/ Since the house is located near river, there are some mosquitos and bugs so it is good to bring bug repellent/ Bring your swinsuit/ There are total 4 bed rooms. 2 bed rooms located on the 2nd fl of the house (with view), and one is in the attic and the last one is in the basement.

We could not of had a more relaxing time at River House. It was wonderfully privet and the views were amazing. Anna had stocked the fridge for us before our arrival and was a great host. Checking in on us daily by phone, txt and email. The area is really nice and the sunrises were spectacular on the James River. Amenities were prefect though the kids took a day to get over no WiFi. LOL The River House was beautiful and had a great breeze so we left the large glass doors open to the veranda. It got muggy towards the end of the trip so the full house AC was perfect. The three bedrooms four baths were perfect for a family of five. River House was the perfect spot for what we were looking for and we will be back. I wanted to mention it was much easier to access Williamsburg then we had expected. We never had to wait for a ferry it was a 20 minute crossing the kids loved going on ferry and was disappointed the one day we went into Richmond and didn't take it. Getting to Jamestown, Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens was easy... I could not think of anything that was lacking in River House and we have used Airbnb a few times. If you are looking for a place that is secluded quiet and relaxing this is the place for you. Regards Karl

We absolutely loved staying at Anna's house on the James River! We are four friends who wanted to visit the historic sites around Williamsburg. Anna's house was our sanctuary for the two evenings after the hubbub of the tourist areas. Imagine the scene: four friends sitting on the porch, sipping wine and watching the sunset, with eagles, osprey, and fireflies for companions. The house itself is very spacious and comfortable and easily accessible to the historic areas by the free Jamestown-Scotland ferry.

The host left many treats for us in the fridge. This was a good thing because groceries are hard to come by! The beds were comfortable and had luxurious bedding. There are so many wonderful features in the home.

Anything we needed, Anna was texting me back right away telling me everything. She was a great host and the house was more than expected! I will be coming back for sure!

We went to the River house for a quick weekend getaway to unwind and I can definitely say that we got what we were hoping for and more. The house is masterfully designed and well appointed. Apart from the magnificent view of the James River from the balcony and wrap around porch, each of the 3 rooms were updated and had access to a full bathroom. The ferry that will take you to and from Williamsburg is about a 25-min drive. Anna and Stephanie were excellent hosts who were always available to assist in any way. They even stocked the fridge and allowed us full access of the pantry for essential food items - which was a nice bonus. Overall, we were very happy with our stay at the River house. Not having TV and Wi-Fi was a little challenging but was a welcome change for us. I would highly recommend the River house to anyone looking to relax and unplug.

In a single word.... AMAZING. We had a WONDERFUL 4th of July weekend at Anna's beautiful property! VERY spacious accommodations that were far from life's normal everyday distractions. No internet definitely took some getting used to, but we managed. The kids LOVED taking the ferry into Jamestown. Overall, we had a fantastic and memorable weekend.

Beautiful location and amazing hosts! Patricia and Larry were incredibly accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was also excellent and large. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area for a wedding, winery tour, or just looking for a weekend escape.

Marie and Graham were very welcoming and communicative. We had a large group that was renting the entire house for the weekend and everything with the house went smoothly. It was an incredible place for a group of our size and everything was clean and in working order when we arrived. Graham even picked up some breakfast items for us and helped us with shuttling a couple people from the house to a wedding next door which we were in town for. It was an incredible experience!

My long weekend at this beautiful and unique James River waterfront property was perfect...the hosts have thoughtfully provided everything a guest could want, including a pastoral view of the river, pretty country gardens, elegant-but-never-fussy decor, ample linens, self-catered breakfast, and complete privacy. It was the perfect pied-à-terre for a relaxing weekend and exploring the many area historical attractions. I'd love to return for another stay and have already told several friends about this wonderful listing. Thank you, Marie, for making me feel right at home!

Graham and Marie were very welcoming and thoughtful. They really opened up their home to us and were lovely to talk to. Graham made us a hearty and delicious breakfast and had good information on things to do nearby. They also had the sweetest dog we've ever met. The house was amazing, a very good place for anyone who likes unique architecture. Out in the woods by a lake so very quiet and peaceful, just bring bug spray. I was hoping it would be within walking distance to more things. It technically is, but you'd be walking a couple miles on the side of a highway without a sidewalk. The highway is not very busy, but it is curvy. There is a beautiful and historic battlefield nearby, a great restaurant and Richmond is less than 30 minutes away. I recommend it!

The bed was comfortable, and the view was gorgeous. However, I was told there would be breakfast and when we arrived, we were told we could make our own and that there were eggs in the fridge..Yet When we woke up, all the regular eggs were used, and There were rotten goose eggs left for us to cook. We had to go out and buy breakfast ourselves. There was also no Television in the room. It Was not worth the money we paid for one night.

Absolutely stunning experience. I could not recommend a place more to get away from the burdens of city life.

Graham's home was so lovely! Marie was wonderful with setting up our reservation and Graham was an amazing host! Lots of helpful feedback. The setting was peaceful and beautiful.

This was our second time staying at this James River house (and probably not our last) and just as before, it was magical and lived up to all of our expectations. Doesn't disappoint at all!
