About this cabin rental
Escape to River’s Bend Cabin nestled on the bluff over the Upper James River! Admire the sunrise over the mountain from the screened-in porch or just sleep in and have a picnic at the river beach later. You will have access to kayaks and canoes and are welcome to bring your own paddle boats, fishing gear or mountain bikes (no ATVs or motorized vehicles). There are ample walking trails where you will likely spot deer, turkeys, otters, geese and even an eagle occasionally. Explore wetlands, forests and cornfields or curl up with a good book while you let the kids feed the chickens. We are blessed with beautiful views and dark skies in a peaceful paradise and welcome the chance to share with you.
River’s Bend is located near Eagle Rock which allows central access to recreational areas, vineyards and historic sites in Buchanan, Roanoke, Lexington, Covington and Alleghany County. Ask us about touring an historic Kanawha Canal lock on adjacent private farmland. We can arrange a private fly fishing lesson, river trip or even mountain bike rides through northern Botetourt county.
There are three bedrooms and two baths that can comfortably accommodate six (6) guests. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, Bedroom 2 has a king bed (separated into twins at your request) and Bedroom 3 has a queen bed; air mattresses are also available. The kitchen is fully equipped. An open concept design features a fireplace (gas logs) with stone chimney visible from the kitchen, dining and living rooms. There is a game room in the loft equipped with pool table, ping pong table, board games and more. The back deck has a gas grill and ample seating areas overlooking the James River.

Nice place very peaceful. Needs a little TLC. Nothing of great portions, things like screen needs repaired/replacing on screen porch, ceiling fans cleaned. Garbage disposal does not work. Never seen one on a septic system maybe just use it as another sink rather than letting it sit with water. Elizabeth was great. We would come back but would be greatly disappointed if some of these simple things were not addressed.

We enjoyed our stay so much! Beth was an awesome host! She had the kayaks brought down to the river for us. It's a bit of a hike down the hill through the corn field, then some effort to get the kayaks down a small hill to the water, but so worth it! What a beautiful, calm river. We paddled upriver around the bend and chilled out in the shallows looking for rocks, hoping a train would come by. Getting the kayaks back up the small hill was quite difficult. Maybe Beth and her family could help, if asked. We managed though. We enjoyed the trains so much! They came by at different times every day. And the lights through the trees at night was so cool. We saw rabbits and deer and fireflies. The front, screened porch overlooks the corn field and the back multi-level porch faces the river, peeking through the trees. What a thoroughly relaxing week!

We really loved our stay. The host was amazing. She was extremely accommodating. The boys really likes the ping pong, pool table and the kayaks. We will definitely be back.

Cabin has comfortable seating in living area, well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. We enjoyed reading the many books available, playing checkers, ping pong and pool. Owner is great- very responsive and helpful. Access to the river is not what we expected. To reach the stone beach, we walked down a grassy field, through a path in the woods, down a steep muddy slope holding onto a rope railing, then through a dry marsh area. To put the kayaks in the water, there’s a second route to the river along a grass path about 300 yards. To get into the kayak one must sink into 8-10” of thick mud. There’s no other place to step in order to get into the kayak. Once on the river, the water is lovely, plenty of fish to catch, and there’s no one else around so it’s peaceful.
