This was a wonderful way to get away from the stresses of everyday life. The beautiful view of the river, watching America's industry in action while being close enough to dining and downtown offers opportunity to explore. Communication with the host was wonderful and very helpful and super welcoming.

Excellent communication with the hosts from the very beginning. Darling caboose with everything you need to have a lovely stay. The view overlooking the dam was lovely. The manufacturing plant at the bottom of the bluff wasn't really a noise problem unless the forklifts are running. The host has anticipated your every need by providing earplugs and a "sound machine" that certainly did its job. Worth noting is that when we visited we had a huge change in temperatures that required us to use the heat one night. The unit takes several minutes to switch over from cooling to heat, so don't be impatient like me. Just give it a sec because it works like a charm. Highly recommend Cast Iron Pizza on Church St downtown. But you have to plan ahead, as they only make so much dough per day and when it's gone, it's done for the day. Plan on doing carry out as there are only two table, or make a reservation as they do cute wine flights and have a great wine list. Overall, a great stay that we enjoyed very much!

We took a quick little getaway from Norfolk for my husband to have a jeep excursion at the George Washington National Forest. He is an avid lover of trains and James Station did not disappoint. We loved everything about our stay even down to our cute little neighbors, the beavers! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Great place to vacation. Very cozy and peaceful. The noise from the foundry didn't bother us at all. And it was so interesting to watch. Great communication from our host. We were there when it was too cold to be outside. Highly recommended.
