The home is in a wonderful neighborhood and was exceptionally pet-friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It was stocked with everything we could possibly need, and Mei was an incredibly responsive and thoughtful host throughout our stay. We truly appreciated our time here and hope to have the opportunity to stay again. Thank you, Mei!
We stayed at this home for a spring break trip with a family of 6. The fenced in backyard was perfect for my kids (youngest is 2) because there was a lot of room to play/explore and a fence to keep them from wandering off. We had a fire in the fire pit every evening! The location is great. Everything we wanted to do (Maymont, Belle Isle, Science Museum, Carytown) was within 10-15 min drive. The beds were extremely comfortable and we had everything we needed for a family stay (stocked kitchen, laundry, 2 full bathrooms).We parked on the street out front because there was always a spot.I highly recommend this house to another family looking for a Richmond home-base :).
I honestly cannot say enough or express how happy I was with our stay. The owners were not only prompt in responses, but very respectful and friendly. We plan on coming back to Richmond and would love to stay at this place again. Thank you for allowing us to stay
This home was perfect for our needs! Adorable house, tasteful interior, and immaculately clean. Situated in a great neighborhood, and great communication with the host! Highly recommend this property!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Family Retreat! It was a short stay, but we would love to come back. It’s cozy and homey, the neighborhood was great, we felt very safe. Easy parking in the back of the house, as well as street parking. The beds were comfy and the house was clean. We hope we will be able to stay here again.
