Getaway and relax! Enjoy the James River with mountain views!
Fully renovated cottage! Best kayaking and canoeing on the upper James River! 300 ft riverfront for fishing. Large open back deck with mountain views. Perfect for grillin' and chillin'. Wonderful hiking, Peaks of Otter and Apple Orchard Falls.
Nat was one of the most helpful hosts Iâve ever interacted with. He gave us so many recommendations on things to do, where to eat as well as details about the house and area, which made planning for the trip that much easier. House is located right off the blue ridge parkway for easy access to hikes and right down the street from twin river outfitters. Great stay!
Nat is the best of best when it comes to owners. He made sure we knew where to go and what to do while we were there. Comfort was ensured several times. The house is well stocked and very clean. We loved the nearby brewery, little coffee shop and ice cream spots. If you're looking for a place to stay in this area....this is it!
Truly 10/10. Lovely remodeled house that's clean, comfortable and well-stocked. We had everything we needed and then some. The back porch is a huge bonus and we loved the games and floats. Would highly recommend!!
Our stay at The River House was absolutely perfect. The home is even more beautiful in personâcharming, peaceful, and thoughtfully appointed with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway. Waking up to the sounds of the river and sipping coffee with that stunning view was pure magic.The property is spotless and well-maintained, with cozy furnishings and plenty of space to unwind. We especially loved being close local attractions such as the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Natural Bridge. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in seamless and our entire stay stress-free. It truly felt like a home away from home.
Had a wonderful time at the river house with family. Beautiful house with a beautiful view. Looks newly remodeled with a very nice, well equipped and spacious kitchen and a very nice covered deck for congregating and enjoying the mountain and river view. The premises were spotless clean. Close to restaurants and outfitters for the river. Nat is very friendly, helpful, and responsive.
Everything about our stay was top notch. The house is newly remodeled and everything was clean and fresh. We had a great time hanging out on the giant back patio and playing games around the large dining room table. The view of the river with the mountain behind it was breathtaking. Nat is a great owner who really cared that we had a perfect stay in his beautiful home. He was proactive with his communication and made sure we knew he'd be there if any issues arose.
Property is set on a gorgeous lot overlooking a mountain. The house is comfortable, clean, and stocked with all necessary items. We cooked most meals in and relaxed on the oversized deck swing. Our days were spent hiking. We managed 2 5-hour hikes. We liked the Little Cove Mountain/AT trial better than the Flat Top Mountain trail because it had more interesting areas and better views. Next time, we want to include kayaking (we were a bit too early in the season on this visit). Overall, great location, great property, and perfect for outdoor adventures.
We spent Thanksgiving here and it was the perfect fit for a quick getaway from the hustle of Northern Virginia. The listing is as described. The kitchen was outfitted for all of our cooking needs, including sharp knives! The place was completely renovated so everything was clean and felt very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and we enjoyed some local hiking. The owner was great at communicating, answering any questions, and informing of us local restaurants and things to do. Would for sure go back again when looking to get away for a couple days.
This was my second extended stay in this beautiful house. This home has everything that I need for a very comfortable stay. From booking, to checking in, and communicating with the owner who checks in just to ensure that everything is great. Honestly, the house could not be more perfect. We will absolutely return for another visit soon.
We felt like we were at home, only better. The porch swing was a big hit with the entire family - perfect for enjoying a gorgeous view. Very well stocked kitchen. This was a great place for us for parents weekend at VMI. We enjoyed exploring Buchanan and the James River. Weâll definitely be back!
We stayed here while I was a part of a wedding. The house was cute and clean. While I did not get to spend to much time at the home due to wedding duties it was a great spot for my husband and kids to bond before he deploys in two weeks.
The River House is in a quant little town and is within walking distance to several cafes. The house was clean and well stocked. Nat was very helpful and responded quickly. The views from the house are absolutely beautiful.
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautifully renovated home, we were literally provided with everything we needed making our visit more pleasant. Thank you Nat for being a spectacular host! We have booked again in November đ
Beautifully renovated property adjacent to river with many outdoor activities nearby. Must do the Twin River kayak trip. Beautiful scenery and peaceful. Thank you!
This house is exactly as it was stated on the VRBO site. Very clean with everything you need to cook with. The back deck is an amazing place to relax and and gathrr. We loved it!
Great location for our family vacation, we came from Alabama and Delaware. Enjoyed the accommodations and local park for the grandkids. Location was convenient for day trips to Roanoke and Natural Bridge.
We enjoyed our time at the Buchanan River House. The host did a wonderful job renovating and decorating this property. The house was very clean and well-stocked for our party of 8. The kitchen had every utensil and pot/pan we needed, including grill utensils. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of soft towels in the bathrooms. The rooms and bathrooms had plenty of shelving or cabinets for storage of personal items. We spent a lot of time on the large, covered deck, enjoying a lovely view of the mountains and the large swing. The grill had plenty of propane which made cooking outside a breeze. Our boys enjoyed trying the outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) when they came up from the river.
The James River is in the backyard and we spent a lot of time floating, splashing, and fishing in the river. One night we roasted marshmallows over a campfire by the river. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly.
The host's communication was great. He gave us tips about the area and nearby businesses and encouraged us to contact him with questions.
We had a wonderful time and our kids are already asking to go back!
Clean and pretty house with lots of thoughtful touches like plenty of towels, a spice rack, hair dryers, outdoor shower, dog gate, and more. Great, big porch with swing, large table, and beautiful view. The James River is right out back and easy to slip into for a nice float on an innertube.
We stayed here with a family of 6 adults and a medium-sized dog. The house was very comfortable and the perfect size for us. The neighborhood is quiet with some friendly human and canine neighbors. It's convenient to the Blue Ridge Parkway with all of its hiking trails and to Natural Bridge State Park.
Our host Nat's communication was great. He gave us tips about the area and nearby businesses, encouraged us to contact him with questions, and left us alone.
Some things to consider: the guest bathroom has a barn door that doesn't allow for complete privacy (we hung a towel over it to improve privacy), and the bathroom off the main bedroom has no door at all which didn't bother us, but could be an issue for some.
All in all, we loved the house and had a wonderful time!
This was a fantastic weekend getaway. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked for our family of four and three friends. The house is conveniently located near Natural Bridge. We enjoyed canoeing and hiking. The covered porch was also great for relaxing in the evening. Highly recommended for family vacations!
This home was so wonderful! It was impeccably clean. The beds and linens were so comfortable. My husband is a builder and he appreciated all of the little details. Our favorite was the swing on the expansive back deck. We loved sitting back there and listening to the train roll by.
Absolutely Amazing Weekend - THIS House is a large reason why!
Perfect house and most gracious host!
Thank you, Nat for a wonderful weekend visit to Buchanan, Virginia. We took advantage of all of your recommendations - hiked, tubed, ate well; but, most of all we loved being in your beautiful home! We very much enjoyed the large swing, well equipped kitchen, super comfy beds and all of the little touches that made us feel right at home in this town that means so much to us. We will definitely be back!
