My group (three couples) had a nice stay at this property. It was pretty much exactly what was described and in a cool neighborhood of Richmond. It was close to Maymont and Carytown, which we enjoyed for an afternoon. The house, particularly the steps and bedroom doors, can be pretty creaky or noisy, so you can definitely hear others moving at night. But on the positive side, it was clean with comfortable beds. It certainly met our needs and gave us a nice base for our weekend in Richmond. I'd stay here again.

We have stayed in many VRBOs over the years, and this was by far the most well equipped, comfortable, nicely decorated, and clean property at which we've ever stayed. Our pets enjoyed it too - we appreciated being able to bring them. We felt so welcome here - like clients, not just renters. Thank you!

The host was extremely helpful in explaining the process of entering the home and how we had full access to all amenities available. When I arrived, I noticed that pictures did not fully do the home justice. Each room had its own unique mood, showcasing their personalities, while featuring their settings of comfort. The entire house was designed well and clean from top to bottom. Overall, I and my party’s stay was pretty enjoyable and I would recommend it to all those, who are seeking a home, full of character, tranquility and relaxation.

Great place with easy parking, nice backyard for the dog, totally renovated inside. Will stay again next time I’m visiting VCU.

We loved this rental. Plenty of room to spread out with a living room that let us all watch a movie together. About a mile from our daughter's VCU apt, but a world away. So nicely appointed, amazingly relaxed atmosphere. We've made 3 trips to Richmond this year. Can't say enough about the available parking for this unit. Kitchen had everything we needed plus a bunch of tempting snacks. Landlord was both kind and responsive. Loved the attention to detail throughout the home.

Our 2nd time staying here. Lynley is a great hostess! House is clean, beds are comfortable, array of snacks, coffee, and special "Welcome Back" cookies on the table for us. We will stay again when in Richmond.

The house is a great size, 3 full size bedrooms and a comfortable living room, kitchen, and dining room. Fenced in back yard with porch was great to hangout in with the doggos. The location is walkable to all the good stuff on Cary and Main St near the Fan District, less than 20 minute walk to PBR and other good bars and restaurants, 10 minute walk to the Pit and the Peel on Main for some coffee and brunch. The host graciously has a bunch of snacks and coffee for use, in addition to dog treats! She even gifted us some local Crumbl cookies and had fresh flowers in the dining room and master bedroom. Great space for families with children or pets, awesome stay.

The location isn't the best but was priced according in my opinion. It was nice finding a house that allowed multiple pets with no weight restrictions. Was a great home base to check out the surrounding areas.

So glad we booked this townhouse for our family during our stay in Richmond! The location is nice and close to lots of great things to do! We really appreciated the extras—fresh flowers and a variety of snacks (my teens REALLY appreciated the snacks!). The beds were comfy and the house was well appointed. We enjoyed morning walks to the nearby lake and even the James River! Would definitely stay again.

Perfectly suited our needs
5.0
Everything was well-done:
Clean, comfortable, decorated nicely
Abundant snacks, coffee, cookware, dishware, to go cups with lids, glassware, TVs (4), linens, utensils
Host extremely responsive, pleasant, & helpful
Basic supplies were plentiful: e.g., toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo conditioner, shower gel, sheets, towels, pillows
Hair dryers in both bathrooms, pet dishes, 2 irons, lots of drawers and storage bins.
Nice seating on both porches.
Only suggestion for improvement I can think of: is that it would have been nice to have bedside tables on both sides of beds.
Would definitely stay here again.

Clean and fairly quiet spot in a great location. Two large parks nearby and tons of available food options. We got takeaway from different nearby restaurants each night and also got groceries from Whole Foods, all within a 5-10 minute drive.

We loved this property! The owner left us several little "goodies" to welcome us on our trip and they were all appreciated. Beds were very comfortable and the living room gave us a nice space to just sit and talk during our college girl reunion. Highly recommend this space and will visit again when I'm back in Richmond.

This was a great short stay for my family who travel with two dogs. Layout was well organized, location convenient to major city neighborhoods, enclosed backyard great to let the dogs out. Owner had very thoughtfully stocked the house including welcome treats for people and dogs. Kitchen well furnished and very comfortable. Two of the three bedrooms were a bit small for the queen sized beds. Stairs were a bit steep for older folks. All bedrooms were upstairs. All in all it was a great stay, owner was very responsive during booking. I would say 4.8 out of 5.0. Would stay there again if traveling with pets.

My family thoroughly enjoy our stay in Richmond. We, 6 adults, we’re in the area for a family wedding. This property was easily accessed, centrally located to downtown and Uber rides. We arrived to local treats and fresh flowers. Lynley was responsive to messages and a wonderful host! I would strongly recommend this home for your stay in Richmond.

My family and I were in Richmond to attend a wedding, and we were very happy we booked with Lynley. The townhouse was located in a neighborhood convenient to VCU, downtown, and was perfect for our stay in Richmond. First of all, we were delighted with the goodies and snacks that were provided by the host! The townhouse was very clean, had excellent wifi, and was equipped with a smart TV in every bedroom. The decor was very warm and welcoming, and all the amenities were exactly as listed. My communication with the host was prompt, and pleasant. My family and I would definitely stay here again!

My husband, our 2 sons and their fiancés came to Richmond to celebrate the big 6-0 for my husband. We also had our fur baby family members with us. The house was beautiful, perfect for 3 couples, with the larger beds. The yard was a great size and fenced in, allowing the dogs to run, play, and do their business. We were easily able to Uber into downtown, which is quite walkable and has so many options for food and beverages. We also appreciate the little extras Lynley provided like dog and people treats.

We had a great stay at this house. It's about 12 minutes walk to the beach (easy) or a 4 minute drive. We spent lots of time on the deck, which actually feels very private.

Great find
It’s so nice after a long travel day to come to a place with all the necessities plus lovely touches like flowers and cookies as well as treats for the dog. Extremely pleased to wake up to a strong shower, plush towels and Pete’s coffee. We took advantage of the spacious backyard and took long walks in the neighborhood. There were so many pluses to our stay.

Very Nice
Thank you for providing a wonderful home away from home that I could share with my adult kids and their dog. We felt very welcome, enjoyed the neighborhood, and nearby sites.

Exactly as described-lovely.
This property is one of a number of rowhouses in the neighborhood. Being right in the city it is a short drive or a long walk from many of the historical sites and museums as well as being an even shorter drive and quite short walk from restaurants and things like that. The main bedroom was quite comfortable for us and our service dog was welcome there. Yes, we know service dogs must be welcome but sometimes there is grumpiness and there was none.
