About the host

Hosted by Ruby Foley

Host profile image
We live in Richmond, VA and were thrilled to find a hidden gem on the Mattaponi river - fresh water, beautiful views, and peaceful scenery only an hour from home. We bought the home in 2021 and spent a year enjoying it with friends and family after being apart during the pandemic for so long. In 2022, we began offering it as a vacation retreat and have enjoyed hosting guests ever since! In addition to sharing the home, we love introducing guests to the small river town of West Point and its local businesses.

Why they chose this property

In addition to being located so close to Richmond and Williamsburg, this home offers exceptional views of the river that we fell in love with. - it is the perfect secluded retreat with everything that you need.
