Cozy Relaxing and Modern Cabin
We loved our stay. The view is breathtaking, the house is very comfortable and the city is adorable! Can’t wait to go back in the summer. My pup had a wonderful time playing outdoor by the fire pit, and my toddler enjoyed running on the huge yard and watching the train go by at the foot of the mountain! Nat was a great host, very responsive and helpful!!

Peaceful Mountain
We chose this home because we were touring colleges for our daughter and traveling with our dog. The location is perfect for a relaxing stay but close enough to the major highway. Natt was extremely helpful with suggestions for nearby hikes and restaurants as well as making sure the house was clean and well equipped for our stay. The large swing on the porch was a treat to take in the sights of the beautiful mountain landscape. If our daughter selects a nearby college we will certainly come back to this home away from home.

Enjoyed our stay
We stayed for a weekend to celebrate our daughter's 16th birthday. Home was very clean and completely updated. Home is convenient to Lexington, hiking and Blue Ridge Parkway. Good dining options only a short drive away. Can also walk to a few dining options in town. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in the Shenandoah Valley.

VMI Family Weekend
We enjoyed our stay! Super cute home. Boys enjoyed getting to hang out away from post and down by the river. Nate did an excellent job communicating with us before our stay and informing us of all the opportunities to explore during our stay.

The James River is about 125 yards out the back porch. Beautiful property. Nat was incredibly responsive both at the time of reservation and during the stay.

Great, clean house!
Met some buddies for a golf trip, this house was in great condition, slept all four adults comfortably and had some nice hang out areas. The owner is a great host and offered a lot of details about the home and the local area. Will stay here again!

Idyllic property and location
We loved our one-week stay at Buchanan River House. The house is immaculate and comfortable, with lots of extra touches (kitchen supplies, extra towels) that made us feel right at home. We spent hours on the beautiful covered deck every day. We enjoyed two days on the James River (tubing and then kayaking) -- you cannot beat the location of this home for its convenience to the water. We would give our host Nat and this wonderful home 10 stars if we could. **********

Wow! Amazing property w/view
Wow! This place was amazing. The host reached out to us before we took our trip to tell us all about the sightseeing. The house is fantastic. Great kitchen, shower, and the updates. The best part is the back porch with swing. We really enjoyed it and will be back. It is so close to the kayak center and the river was gorgeous. Definitely will be back.
