Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear everything was just as advertised and that you had such a pleasant stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Everything was great! Everything was neat, clean and very accommodating. I will most definitely stay again. I talked with Rebecca a few times and she was so nice and helpful on all questions.
The Marshall house is phenomenal. The rooms are large with plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen is well equipped. I love that the owners kept so much of the original charm of the home when updating the house. The neighborhood is quaint and feels very safe to walk around. We will gladly stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely house. The neighborhood was quiet and the house well furnished. It was nice to find there were snacks available and toiletries if we forgot anything. I would definitely recommend this home and if we are back in the area would stay there again.

Thank you so much for your kind review and for being a great guest! I’m glad you enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and found the house well furnished with thoughtful touches like snacks and toiletries. I’d be happy to host you again anytime you return to the area!
Loved the charm of the house, the thoughtful touches, and welcome feeling. Plenty of parking in driveway for our 3 vehicles. Close to everything we visited. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, clean, snack basket (nice touch!), and good recommendations on things to see/do.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the charm of the house and felt welcome during your stay. It’s great to hear the parking, comfortable beds, and little touches like the snack basket made a difference. I’m happy the recommendations were helpful too! You’re welcome back anytime.
The house was equipped with everything we needed and the guest notebook with Rebecca’s suggestions for local restaurants, stores, parks, etc. was a nice personal touch! The furniture was comfortable and there was plenty of space for our group of seven. The house looks exactly as pictured and I highly recommend booking with Rebecca!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I’m so glad the house had everything you needed and that the guest notebook was helpful during your stay. It’s great to hear the space worked well for your group. I truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you all again anytime!
Great location clean and well kept. Rebecca from Rivercity Retreats is exceptional. Communication, check in and everything she does is what the industry needs!
This place is perfect! Very welcoming from start to finish. Plenty of room for all of us to stay and hang out comfortably. Owner responds so quick for questions. Will stay here again if we are in Danville! Thank you!
Great place to land! We came for a mountain bike race. Loved chilling on the back porch in the evening! Easy access to Anglers Ridge and restaurants/shopping. Very well stocked (tools) kitchen for cooking.
We were there only for Thursday and Friday nights, spending the weekend down the road at Virginia International. This home worked great for us to crash those nights and had a well equipped kitchen so we could knock together breakfast (and coffee!) before heading out early in the mornings. Close to several interesting restaurants as well!
