A must stay Vrbo, amazing home and fantastic views. Highly recommend. Host was incredibly responsive, welcoming and accommodating. Could not asked for a better stay
We absolutely adored this gorgeous property in Midlothian. The setting and the accomodations were just stellar, and though we did have some issues with a failed router, the hosts went above and beyond to take care of it for us during a holiday weekend. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!
We had a really good stay at this beautiful property. The pool was great. The view was fantastic. Lots of little things that we forgot to bring were available in the kitchen. Highly recommend it!
The waterfront property is tranquil, expansive, clean and has all of the amenities needed for a quiet get away or lavish party. The owner was very responsive to inquiries. I highly recommend!
When our first place was cancelled three days before check-in, we booked this location -- a bit far from downtown Richmond. In exchange, we found an incredibly peaceful setting surrounded by woods and overlooking a lake.
Before booking, read the property's description carefully. The accommodations are not private bedrooms, but curtained off areas. It all worked out well for us, but I feel this is something people should understand.
To be honest, I'd love to go back sometime to enjoy the property rather than having to run to and from Richmond for a conference. But we're grateful to have had a quiet, clean, and spacious place to stay during our conference.
It is hard to find a good place to stay in Midlothian, VA near the Brandermill Woods nursing/assisted living facilities, so we were thrilled to find the Water View-- it is about 10 minutes away and we could get our extended family together to visit with an elder living in Brandermill.
The building is lovely with high ceilings and plenty of room for our crew to visit together-- both those of us staying overnight and the rest of the more-local family that dropped in for shorter periods over our long weekend there.
The kitchen was great for food prep, and the two fridges were a definite plus. There were tons of dishes, and also paper/plastic for the time when we didn't want to wash stuff.
The views over the water were wonderful, and our crew enjoyed walking the paths throughout the property and seeing the wildlife, which was plentiful.
Do be aware that the 4 "bedrooms" are just cordoned off areas (but large ones) that provide visual privacy with curtains or cubicle dividers, but not any sound privacy-- and sound does carry in the wonderfully cavernous space (so no watching tv while someone is trying to sleep anywhere in the house). The two bathrooms and two showers were plenty to accommodate our overnight group of 8.
The owner was fast to reply to all inquiries, and we didn't need to contact her during our stay.
All in all a very pleasant weekend in a beautiful setting.

About the host
Hosted by Alyson Stinson
I am Alyson, the host. Our property is managed by Tina who you will be speaking to directly when arranging your stay on the property. She is a super host and is helping us to become super hosts as well. She will take excellent care of you from beginning to end.
My parents are the owners of these "WaterView" homes. They are Jim and Paulanne Thacker. They raised 3 girls and loved life and loved friends and family. They built the main home we now call "The Iconic Gem" and "The Pool Pavilion" knowing they wanted family and friends to join them for all occasions. We celebrated all occasions with many special people for 40-plus years.
For several years our father drove a car at Southside Speedway in the late model division "just for kicks". Memorabilia can be seen in the pool room and garage of the main house. He had many unique hobbies and was certainly a unique man. Our father passed away in 2010.
The construction of the home took over 3 years and was completed in 1980. Our parents along with their architect enjoyed designing all of the many details of the home. The exterior rooflines and exterior windows inside became a theme throughout.
The pavilion was added 15 years later and was certainly enjoyed by family and many friends.
Our father and our sister Lori established a wedding business "Celebrations At The Reservoir" offering multiple beautiful wedding locations in and around the estate property (excluding the main house/Iconic Gem") for 17 years. Due to our sister, Lori's death in 2019 Celebrations terminated the wedding business in 2021. Shortly after Lori's death, our mother Paulanne moved to a smaller home.
My sister Carol and I then took over the management of the estate and were then faced with the upkeep expenses. Knowing how our parents enjoyed sharing their home we decided to prepare the homes for short-term rental and begin to share our blessings in this way.
We hope you all enjoy the beauty that we love and have appreciated for many years.
Why they chose this property
Our parents purchased this property thinking they would own horses as our sister Lori loved to ride. They never owned horses but they did have cows on the property and kept them in the field near the Manor house for a while. The Manor house was the only home on the 100 acre property when Jim and Paulanne purchased it. They rented the home as a "long term" rental before it became the office and wedding site of "Celebrations".
Certainly the beauty of the reservoir was also a draw when purchasing the property. When purchased in the mid 70's, Woolridge Road was a "country" road and the popular neighborhoods Woodlake and Brandermill did not exist. The area has changed considerably through the years. Now, new neighborhoods and shopping is abundant.
What makes this property unique
Our parents loved enjoying walks along the water and after building the home Jim and Paulanne began to create the walkways and gazebos. They hired a man named Gene Morris who was a stone mason. Gene spent years building stone walkways and walls around the property. Gene became a dear friend of our parents as well as did many men and women who worked on the property. Our parents were truly opened arms loving people. Our mother takes pleasure knowing that you also will also enjoy the walkways and "sitting areas" as mom called them around the property.
