Quiet weekend overlooking the James
The peaceful setting high above the James was only interrupted by the infrequent passing freight trains across the river. The sunsets were colorful and the clear moonless nights burst with stars, especially looking up from the hot tub.
The cabin was as advertised; comfortable bedrooms, modern bathrooms, well-stocked kitchen (pots, plates pans, utensils, etc). Central Air/Heat worked fine. The host, Brian, provides clear timely instructions on Dos and Don'ts, both before you arrive and at the cabin itself.
We visited a couple of nearby wineries (Elk Island and Byrd Cellars) and a brewery (James River), plenty of shops and took advantage of the Food Lion in Scottsville for groceries.
My only criticism, which kept me from all 5 stars, was the trail to the river could use a little TLC at the bottom of the steps. A half hour with a mini chain saw would do the trick in clearing the deadfall from the path.
Don't let the critique keep you away, as this is a lovely property and locale that needs to be enjoyed.
