My family booked this house because we booked a tubing trip down the James River with James River Runners. I grew up close to this area and this has been a tradition in my family since I was very small. We did not realize we were going to be staying in a meditation retreat. It was wonderful. Both my wife and I practice Transcendental Meditation and felt right at home. It was one of the most enjoyable and peaceful weekends we have ever had. We will always remember this weekend and look forward to making this a part of our tradition.

Clean, light, and beautiful!

Lovely and clean with a super comfy couch. The location was perfect for our trip.

The property is as you see it. It's spacious, clean, modern, with great light and a beautiful view of the sunrise. It's a 30 minute walk to the river in one direction and Yogaville in the other. It's comfortable and really has all that you need for a lovely time. So, why the 3 stars? I was literally contacted at least a dozen times from the time I made the reservation until check in. There was no need for that. I slept in the room nearest the heat pump and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner was running. It kept waking me up. There are a list of rules by the front door. It's "don't do this, don't do that." "Noise" hours are between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. because the caretaker lives downstairs and they can hear you. You can hear them. I felt like a naughty teenager trying not to disturb mom. There are also cameras all over. I would have used the porch, but there was no privacy. It's invasive. So, lovely property, but the vibe was one of distrust. I felt overly controlled and fearful of making a wrong move. It wasn't restful or relaxing at all. I get that you want your place to be safe and well cared for, but all the cameras and rules feel over the top.
