About this property

Private Romantic Bungalow for Artists & Writers, 7 Mins to Downtown Richmond,

Your own private 1-bedroom bungalow mindfully appointed with everything you will need for a long or extended stay in Richmond, VA (or for locals, RVA).

The Lewis House is tucked away behind your host's main house, a little red cottage that has been built entirely out of reclaimed material from RVA's famous local architectural salvage operation, Caravati's. The project was started by the home's original owner, an avid antique collector, and completed in 2024 by your hosts.

Whether you're visiting Richmond for a weekend or looking for a quiet getaway to work on your special project, the Lewis House is ready for you and up to (1) additional guest. Just 7 minutes from the downtown business center, 5 minutes from Cary Town shopping, and 2 minutes from the Forest Hills shops, the Lewis House is close to everything while feeling worlds away from the bustle of the city.

A cobbled footpath leads from your street parking (we're a tiny cul-de-sac, you'll always be able to park out front) to the cottage. The front porch is perfect for sitting with it's rockers and small table for drinks.

Inside, the combination bedroom and sitting room are highlighted by the enormous reclaimed farmhouse windows. A queen memory-foam mattress is set high, with storage drawers under the frame, one for each occupant. A standing clothes is rack is available for your shirts and dresses.

Next is the kitchen. A deep farmhouse sink is perfect for artists needing to clean their brushes, the fridge includes a freezer for longer stays, and an induction cook eye is available for those meals that can't be prepared in the convection toaster/air fryer or microwave.

The bathroom includes towels and a walk-in shower. A small utility closet hides your full length mirror, and don't forget to flip the switch to enjoy your beautiful custom stained glass window!

Included: Central air/heat, linens, towels, paper towels, toilet paper, soap, shampoo and conditioner, a clothes steamer (in lieu of an iron), and the use of a washer & dryer can be arranged upon request for a small cleaning fee.

Charming, peaceful, and thoughtfully curated space. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and the attention to detail - from the quality bedding to the soft, fluffy towels - showed the thoughtfulness of the hosts. A wonderful space and exemplary hospitality!
This space has so much character, including a stunning interior stained glass window, which can be viewed from both sides.

We had a lovely time staying at the bungalow! It is situated in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood but is also a short drive across the river from Richmond's amazing food, culture, and history.

House was as advertised- easy to locate, instructions to get in were clear, and house had some really neat vibes between the "torches" surrounding the fireplace, the kitty tapestry, and that stained glass window. The kitchen, like the rest of the house, is small, but it has everything you need. The bed was A for sleeping. Would gladly come back!

Cozy Valentines Get Away

We had the coziest Valentines weekend at the bungalow. It was pretty rainy while we were here so it was great staying in, watching movies and enjoying the dark and romantic vibe. Everything was just a short drive away. We loved the style of the place, the comfy bed and big porch favorite
