PARKING: up to 3 cars may park at the caboose (off-street driveway for 1-2, street parking for 1-2)
HEATING/AIR: ductless heating & air with remote
POTENTIAL FOR NOISE: This industrial experience will NOT be for everyone, especially those looking for total quiet. You will hear the sounds of trains going by, construction forklifts beeping, etc. The factory works through the night. Some nights are more noisy than others, and unfortunately this is out of our control. Sunday nights tend to be the quietest as often the factory is off work!
Our family lives nearby and is not usually bothered by it, but we realize it's not for everyone, particularly if you're a light sleeper. The caboose has sound-proofing and double layers of insulation around the bedroom area, and we provide a white noise machine and portable fan for your added comfort.
*You must be 25 years or older to reserve James Station.
ADDITIONAL GUESTS: If you have more than 3 in your group wanting to stay, we also offer a 1 bedroom apartment AND a separate 5 bedroom home nearby that you may rent in coordination with your stay. Look up our listings (under Amy's profile) "River View Downtown Historic Apartment" or the "Candy Apple."
HOSTED BY: James Station is hosted by All Belong Co, a local small business dedicated to providing 5 star stays. Our team will take good care of you!
SMALL GATHERINGS: Gatherings and small events are considered on a case by case basis and include an event fee. Please message our team & provide as many details as possible.

Excellent communication with the hosts from the very beginning. Darling caboose with everything you need to have a lovely stay. The view overlooking the dam was lovely. The manufacturing plant at the bottom of the bluff wasn't really a noise problem unless the forklifts are running. The host has anticipated your every need by providing earplugs and a "sound machine" that certainly did its job. Worth noting is that when we visited we had a huge change in temperatures that required us to use the heat one night. The unit takes several minutes to switch over from cooling to heat, so don't be impatient like me. Just give it a sec because it works like a charm. Highly recommend Cast Iron Pizza on Church St downtown. But you have to plan ahead, as they only make so much dough per day and when it's gone, it's done for the day. Plan on doing carry out as there are only two table, or make a reservation as they do cute wine flights and have a great wine list. Overall, a great stay that we enjoyed very much!

We took a quick little getaway from Norfolk for my husband to have a jeep excursion at the George Washington National Forest. He is an avid lover of trains and James Station did not disappoint. We loved everything about our stay even down to our cute little neighbors, the beavers! We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Great place to vacation. Very cozy and peaceful. The noise from the foundry didn't bother us at all. And it was so interesting to watch. Great communication from our host. We were there when it was too cold to be outside. Highly recommended.
