Avis Hidden Treasure of Bumpus

Very well described and what I expected

We enjoyed our stay in this home!

Owner messaged and told me check in was at 5:00. I informed her that my confirmation showed 4:00. I checked in early because I came from MD and owner charged me $50 to check in 1 1/2 hrs early at 2:30. Upon entering the home and returning to get 2nd bag I was met by a Dominion Electric employee who first asked if I was the owner and I explained to him I was the renter for 4 days. He told me he was there to shut off the electric for non payment. He also advised that this was the second extension and the owner did not pay after the first extension. I called the owner and told her what was going on. She asked to speak to the employee and she told him she had the money in her pocket and would pay right away. She must have paid because electric was never turned off. She also said there are chickens and you can use the eggs. There were 3 live chickens and 1 dead chicken in the cage. So no thanks for the offer. On check out morning she messaged me and told me I needed to be out by 10. My confirmation clearly showed 11 a.m. The interior of the home was fine, but the outside needed lawn care and I actually swept all the dead grass off the sidewalk and porch steps so as not to drag it in the home. The side yard had several cars and 2 travel trailers which appeared to be unused for a very long time. The back yard was also full of debris stacked up next to the home. Just take warning if you are there with small children, the back yard could be hazardous for them.

The house was clean and welcoming. It's in a quiet and semi-rural area. The owner has chickens and allowed us to eat the eggs. It is family oriented. The owner is super friendly and provides excellent customer service. We had a slight issue and it was fixed right away. She goes above and beyond for her guests.

Nice place

This place felt like home and it really was a pleasure to stay here. We loved the rural feel and the quiet as well as being a half an hour from Richmond. We would definitely stay again.

This was perfect for our needs. It felt like home, and we really enjoyed the rural and quiet atmosphere. I’ve stayed many places before, but this home is one of the best and I hope to be able to rent it again next year.

Enjoyable weekend, nice house, very clean. So thoughtful to have a gift basket for items we may have forgotten
