Great for friend groups
We were in town for a wedding and wanted a place where multiple couples could stay. We loved the house. It is beautifully decorated and had plenty of space. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds and linens were comfortable and towels were provided. The views of the river were beautiful and there was wood for the fire pit. One of our friends even did yoga down by the river. The hosts were incredibly responsive. Highly recommend staying here!

3 couples visiting JMU for Homecoming weekend. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare our tailgate dishes. The beds were comfortable and the house beautifully decorated. We had a great time, morning and night, sitting by the firepit down by the river! Thank you so much for allowing us to use your beautiful home!

lovely house
We thoroughly enjoyed River Mill House! It was clean, updated and very comfortable. It had all the historical charm yet modern conveniences. It was the perfect house for a large group and was very close to Cross Keys Vineyard where the wedding was.

Beautiful, comfortable, and easy!
We had a wonderful stay at this house. We're two families with kids, and there was enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Both husbands participated in a race in Natural Chimneys National Park, and the location was so convenient! The kitchen was perfectly appointed (sharp knives!) and the kids loved the yard. On our last night we spent a really lovely evening around the fire pit. Very highly recommended!

Superb!
My family and I stayed at this beautiful property for my son's graduation from JMU. The home and property were even more spectacular than the pictures listed. Very well appointed with perfect spaces for gathering. Also enjoyed the firepit by the river. Hope to have an occasion to stay here again. Wonderful memories made.

Beautiful Home
From the minute we walked in we fell in love with this beautiful home. Stunning inside & out. Extremely clean and cozy, plenty of room for 7 girlfriends to catch up. We enjoyed many wineries and breweries in the area.

Relaxing
If you are looking for a quiet place to sit on a porch and watch the birds fly by this is the perfect place. The home is beautiful and welcoming. Good luck trying to pick a bedroom you want to sleep in, they are all perfectly charming. The porch gets the late morning sun, and you can just sit and sip your coffee. The woodpecker I named Red will keep you amused with his rhythmic pecking, and I have never seen so many squirrels running up and down the trees having a great time. The owners make you feel at home with coffee tea snacks games throw blankets and then for you as well all the essentials for the perfect smore for the campfire. There are no issues if you would like to have Door Dash or Instacart sent to the home for convenance. We used both options and we had fast and perfect delivery. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your home, and I am looking forward to going back. Maureen

Very comfortable and clean property! Recently remodeled, beautiful kitchen. We appreciated having a dining table all our guests could sit around. Close to wineries, breweries, and lots of other fun things. Perfect weekend getaway! Will recommend to friends and family and would consider returning.

Perfect for family gathering
There were 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 young boys. The big back yard and firepit were a hit. The attractions we wanted to see were all within an hours drive, but many closer than that. We really appreciated how well stocked the unit was and the three bathrooms met our needs perfectly. We had a couple of small issues, which were taken care of immediately. The only real thing that we had to worry about was the driveway. Two cars ended up parking down below the property. We would definitely recommend the unit.
