Not quite what we expected.

Carl was the perfect host, meeting us upon arrival and showing us the area we would be staying in. The owner lives and works on the property downstairs with the rental area upstairs. Our only disappointment was that the upstairs was not completely pr...

Pleasant as could be

Erin was white gracious in so many ways. Our visit was an unfortunate visit due to the death of my mom and strop. Erin could not have been more accommodating in such a short notice especially as we had just inherited a young pup which added to our th...

Absolutely Stunning

What an incredible find. We used to live in Church Hill and were here for a return weekend away - we could not have been happier with this gorgeous apartment. The location is perfect, the building is very secure, and the view of downtown Richmond is ...

Perfect family place

Wonderful historic house ideally situated in walking distance to both the Children’s museum and the fine arts museum. This was a perfect location for my wife and I, our twin 3yo daughters, and my parents to stay in for a long weekend. Twin bedroom co...

Great little house

We enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is nice, close to lots of things but not busy itself. The home was clean and despite its age has central air. The beds are firm. My family was able to spread out so the kids each got a bedroom, which was a must. ...

Centrally Located Property

The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood that's less than 15 minutes from all the major attractions. There are several parks within walking distance which is great as I was traveling with a dog. As for the house itself, it's well maintained w...

Nice and comfortable apartment with some cleaning issues.

A very nice and comfortable apartment, although there were some cleaning issues. The wood floors were dirty, so we cleaned them upon arrival. The bathroom floor mats were also dirty, and had to wash them when we arrived. Although these are minor inco...

Great spot for a group

Me and my friends really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and perfect for a larger group (something tough to find in Richmond). The house is a quick walk to parts of the Fan and an easy Uber to Scott’s Addition for the breweries or downtown...

Destination guide

Virginia is for lovers, and you'll love Richmond

Set in the heart of Virginia along the winding James River, the state's thriving capital offers something for everyone. A healthy dose of that classic Southern hospitality combines with an up-and-coming food and beer scene to create a hip metropolis that somehow manages to be laid-back and cutting-edge at the same time. Surrounded by the pastoral rolling hills of the Piedmont region, Richmond is as rich in culture as it is in history. From NASCAR, to craft beer, to war history, there's a little something for everyone at a Richmond vacation rental.

Things to do

Historic Richmond: Revolutionize your vacation

History buffs are in for a treat, because a Richmond vacation rental takes you back to where our country began. St. John's Church is where Patrick Henry delivered his famous "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" speech in 1775. You can visit the graves of early presidents at Hollywood Cemetery. For thrills, head to Kings Dominion theme park or take in some NASCAR action at Richmond Raceway. Museum highlights include the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Science Museum of Virginia, and the Edgar Allan Poe Museum. Cap off your day at one of the over 20 craft breweries in town.

Activities

Redefining the great outdoors, city style

Richmond may be a busy metropolis, but if you think that means there's a shortage of outdoor activities on hand, you'd be wrong. A number of parks dot the shores of the James River, connected by miles of hiking, biking, and nature trails. The river itself is renowned for its kayaking, canoeing, and whitewater rafting. Stop by Brown's Island for its outdoor concerts and festivals, or Belle Isle for some top-notch rock climbing. Bikers should make a beeline for the Virginia Capital Trail, made up of 52 miles of paved bike paths running through the state.

Weather

In the summertime, when the weather is hot

Get ready to soak up that warm Virginia sun at your Richmond vacation rental. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are cool to cold. You'll see highs in the 80s and 90s (and possibly even the triple digits) from June through September, so pack light. Winter temps can dip below freezing between December and February, and dustings of snow are not uncommon. It can rain any time of year, but the driest period tends to be autumn, which is great for taking in the stunning fall foliage displays in October and early November.

Natural features

Green hills and blue ridges in the picture-perfect Piedmont

Sitting in the heart of Virginia's picturesque Piedmont region, downtown Richmond may be as urban as they come, but the surrounding lands are known for their idyllic, rolling green hills that rise gently to meet the impressive Blue Ridge Mountains. The James River is just one of several rivers that meander their way through the countryside. There are more trees than you can count, which is great for fall leaf peeping and friendly wildlife encounters when you need a break from city life. Of course, you'll find plenty of green space right downtown, too.

How to get there

Fly into Richmond, VA (RIC-Richmond Intl.), the closest airport, located 6 mi (9.7 km) from the city center.
