We have stayed in many VRBOs and this is easily one of the most incredible properties of all! It may be slightly off the beaten path but it is absolutely worth it! The property is beautiful with tranquil water views and the tiny barn is tastefully decorated with all amenities you would need. It was incredibly clean and comfortable. We have family in the Richmond area and cannot wait to return on our next trip!

Everything about this property is an absolute Wow! The host (Virginia) has created a wonderful retreat; so if you’re looking for wonderful accommodations, in a quiet setting where you can enjoy trees and water, than this is the perfect spot. The kitchen and bath are fully stocked and beds super comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the screened porch listening to the birds and watching the sun setting on the water. Communication is excellent and definitely ask about meeting the mini-donkeys! Best rental we have ever experienced! Thanks again Virginia!

Thank you for this kind review! I loved chatting at donkey time. It was such a pleasure. We’ve had hundreds of guests; you and John were five star guests all around. Communication was easy, and the home was left impeccably clean. Any host would be lucky to have you!

It’s the details that blew us away. Virginia and Steve have made every square foot of the Tiny Red Barn feel cozy and you feel completely at home. The quality of the home is one of the best we’ve stayed.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Tiny Red Barn. The setting is spectacular - in the woods, on the water, so peaceful and private. The house is really lovely - beautifully decorated, loaded with charm, comfortable and cozy while somehow also being chic! It’s also well appointed, including good coffee, cookies and, such a treat- fresh eggs. Best of all, Virginia introduced us to her precious mini donkeys. They’re so sweet and it was educational for the kids and parents. We really loved this Vrbo stay and will definitely be back again!

Perfect quiet getaway close to everything!

We had a wonderful stay at the little red barn. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive and we arrived to fresh eggs and cookies! We were easily able to get to Richmond and Williamsburg from this location while also enjoying peace and quiet while at the house. It has all the amenities you could need. My personal favorite spot was the screened in porch overlooking the reservoir! It was the perfect relaxing way to start and end the day!
