Rent an electric bike at the Petronius S Jones Park, a few blocks away or bring your bike and keep secure at “Base Camp RVA” in the locked storage shed off the back porch.

Historic Hollywood Cemetery, on the National Register of Historic Places serves as the final resting place for 2 United States Presidents and offers views overlooking the James River. Sitting 2 blocks away, this Cemetery is lovingly enjoyed by countless Richmonders, and visitors alike for it’s unparalleled peace and beauty.

“Base Camp RVA” provides a well equipped kitchen, with generous cookware, plates, utensils, etc.; a downstairs half bath, and upstairs full bath with tub, Master Bedroom with King, & 2 queen bedrooms. The bedrooms and living room

Great place!
We stayed here to attend a music festival. The property was clean with lots of nice touches. There were snacks and all convenience appliances, which were clean and in good working order. The yard was fenced which was great for pets who were in unfamiliar surroundings. The beds were super comfortable and the linens clean. Great wi-fi and so nice to have a TV in all bedrooms for everyone to enjoy. The kitchen was super clean, which is important to me when preparing food. Nice front and back porches to hang out on. Good area to take early morning walks in; close enough to restaurants if we preferred to walk instead of drive. Adequate parking for our entire group. We'd stay again!

Wonderful!
Wonderful home in a great location! We arrived to fresh flowers and a clean, well stocked home. Our host thought of everything and was very responive to any questions that I had. Loved having a place that we could bring our dog. The house had a nice fenced in back yard. We will visit Richmond again and plan to stay here when we do. Thank you!

Cute place and great location.
The house was cute with a lot of space. I’ve never been to Richmond but the location was close to many places (VCU, Hollywood cemetery, interstate). Lots of places to eat and shop. Hostess had great communication before our visit! Neighborhood was safe and quiet with a cute park and bikes to rent down the street. Thank you to our hostess for the snacks and welcome!

Perfect and felt like home for family and pets
We have stayed in many VRBOs over the years, and this was by far the most well equipped, comfortable, nicely decorated, and clean property at which we've ever stayed. Our pets enjoyed it too - we appreciated being able to bring them. We felt so welcome here - like clients, not just renters. Thank you!
