Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in James River

I stayed at Mark’s place while visiting my daughter, who’s in the Navy, and it was the perfect spot for some peaceful downtime. Even though it’s a shared home, the bedroom and bathroom felt very private and exceptionally clean. I was comfortable the entire time and slept well. The house itself is like walking into an art installation—colorful, unexpected, and full of personality. You never quite know what light or feature will come to life next, which made it fun and memorable. Both hosts are clearly creative souls with a flair for design. The backyard was my favorite part—lush with plants, fountains, and statues, all backing up to the Chesapeake waters. At night, it turns into a magical light show with just the sounds of nature and water features. So peaceful and calming. They even had a little breakfast area set up with bakery items and coffee—such a thoughtful touch. I’d definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind and restful experience.

Sue's house was lovely and charming, and a real B&B experience -- sharing a beautiful, peaceful room in a hospitable person's home. She made a very nice breakfast too!

We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect, and the hosts were absolutely delightful—warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout. The property itself was stunning! Highly recommend!

Great place with lots of character. We had a blast and would definitely recommend staying there. Ed and Kitty are exceptional hosts - and great cooks.

It was a very short notice booking…like an hours notice…Kathy and her husband Martin accommodated me. I am so appreciative of that. Martin met me on arrival and checked me in. A VERY pleasant man. He was very kind and helpful. He was so attentive even though he’s recovering from knee surgery, his knee was very swollen. Very tough man! The area was out of the way, and very beautiful. I really enjoyed my stay. The decor was personal. Kathy’s photos and art decorated the place as well as items from their travels. Thank you so much.

We loved our stay at Graham Ordinary! John and Kathy were so knowledgeable and gave such great recommendations of what to do and see during our stay. The mead tasting was very fun and informative! Highly recommend!

What a fun stay! We got to witness the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen here. The animals on the farm are so friendly. I was able to take my dog for the stay and he met bigger animals for the first time and they became friends instantly. I loved what they have done with opening up the family farm to enjoy. It was very personable and they made us feel like family. The homemade country breakfast was also one of my favorites. We were visiting the area hiking and decided to stay since it was a few hours away and I am glad we were able to stay here. Although our visit was short, it was sweet. Thank you for welcoming my family.. beautiful stay.

Cindi Lou was a great host! Super responsive and even checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Every night a basket of goodies was delivered outside of our door. Very quiet and comfortable stay!

My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at this charming bed and breakfast in Colonial Williamsburg. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. The host was incredibly communicative and made sure everything was smooth and stress-free. The room was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The rest of the house was just as lovely—warm, welcoming, and tastefully furnished, with a cozy outdoor space perfect for relaxing. The innkeeper was so kind and hospitable, and the breakfasts each morning were absolutely delicious—clearly made with care and attention to detail. I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area. It’s a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and hospitality.

This is a beautiful historic hotel with modern updates tucked away in the Shenandoah valley. Nearby hiking is about a 10 minute drive, and Staunton offers several options for dining and entertainment only 20 minutes away. Our room was private and cozy with access to shared common areas. The breakfast at the restaurant on sight was a highlight of our whole trip. Get the French toast. You'll be back for more.

Lovely B&B, it was homey and just what I was looking for. The staff is helpful and communicative and everything was so charming!

Terri has created a wonderful space to stay. The space is lovely and inviting! I have stayed here multiple times, on my trips back to Richmond, and have felt right at home.

Wanda was the absolute best! We’ve stayed at many places in Lynchburg over the years. The Acorn Hill Lodge will be our go to spot from now on. From the super amazing cozy king size bed, to the absolutely delicious made to order complementary breakfast to our pup being welcomed like a member of the family. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Oh, and the spa!!! My daughter had the full body hot stone massage and was in heaven!! This place is a must!!

Amazing host, will stay here next time in Covington.

This place is a GEM. Dave and Misuun were extremely inviting and accommodating upon arrival to this beautiful bed and breakfast. They made great recommendations and kept the place very neat and tidy. Our room was nicely sized with our own bathroom and a really comfortable bed. We woke to well prepared breakfast each morning and really good coffee. We swam in the heated pool, relaxed in the cabana and played cornhole during the day. This place is just a walk away from anywhere in town which was convenient. At night we played in the retro arcade which had an overwhelming amount of games which were all free play. We'll certainly be looking forward to visiting again next year

We stayed in the Patriot Suite and the King Size Bed was AWESOME!!! Amy & Paul were great Host and made you feel like family. We even went to church with them and were highly blessed! Thank you Amy & Paul for everything!!! We highly recommend staying there! Nancy & Randell

We had such a wonderful time at Linda’s beautiful bnb! We only stayed for one night as a stop-over on a longer road trip, but we felt so welcomed- Linda’s hospitality was exceptional, and so was the space. We enjoyed hanging out in the historic parlor playing board games by the old mill stone. Breakfast and the snacks on offer were a welcome surprise. The room was just as described, and very clean and comfortable. We highly recommend and hope to be back!

Marisela and Chris are the best! They allowed us to check in pretty late, and when we arrived, Marisela greeted us with a warm welcome, a detailed tour of the property, and provided a fascinating history of the property. They were always available to offer anything we needed. We appreciated how hard they work to preserve the history of this property. We arrived as guests and left as family! Thank you for everything!

It was such a pleasure to stay again at Kathleen and Carl’s place! Our second time returning and we already hope to visit again. It is one of the most relaxing and beautiful Airbnb’s I have ever stayed at. They have taken such care to have it be welcoming, pristine, and provide all you could ever want or need in a get away. Such a joy to catch up with Kathleen again, and if you take the time you will discover what a gem this couple is! They are the sweetest and I’m so thankful they have chosen to share this beautiful space with others!

This was the second time we stayed at Heritage Hill B&B. We loved it so much we came back and brought friends. It was just as nice the second time. We stayed in the Blue room last year and the Gold room this year. Both are beautifully decorated. We also had use of the living room and the patio with fireplace. Scott had a fire ready after our day of hiking and visiting wineries. The views are breathtaking. Dana makes a gourmet breakfast each morning and they both provide great ideas of things to do and see. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The room was adorable and very clean. Jake was very responsive and extremely helpful. We were in town to celebrate our daughter’s birthday and Jake gave us some good recommendations on places to go visit. To top it all off, we had a delicious breakfast the next morning downstairs at the Farm Bell Kitchen. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and will look to stay there again!

Very responsive host. Very quiet and comfortable stay.

Beautiful, unique and scrumptious hand-crafted breakfasts (locally sourced and in season) were spectacular! Pristine, comfortable, relaxing. Lots of activity options on site (kayaks, golf balls, painting, hammocks, croquet, bikes, swimming pool, huge private river front space). Woody and Michelle are lovely and do everything they can to make guests comfortable on site, and they recommend local spots to enjoy. Blue Ruin in Cambridge was a major highlight - we never would have found it if they hadn't suggested it. The Anchorage 1800 is the perfect place to bring friends & family and make it a group trip weekend!

We had a great stay for our ski week at Snowshoe. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. The downstairs is very cozy and tastefully decorated. The upstairs room was very clean, spacious, and had a beautiful view. The Christmas decor was a nice touch. They also accommodated our dog and gave him lots of love. Highly recommended!
