River's Bend Cabin Offers Solitude and Play on the Upper James River

Escape to River’s Bend Cabin nestled on the bluff over the Upper James River! Admire the sunrise over the mountain from the screened-in porch or just sleep in and have a picnic at the river beach later. You will have access to kayaks and canoes and are welcome to bring your own paddle boats, fishing gear or mountain bikes (no ATVs or motorized vehicles). There are ample walking trails where you will likely spot deer, turkeys, otters, geese and even an eagle occasionally. Explore wetlands, forests and cornfields or curl up with a good book while you let the kids feed the chickens. We are blessed with beautiful views and dark skies in a peaceful paradise and welcome the chance to share with you.
River’s Bend is located near Eagle Rock which allows central access to recreational areas, vineyards and historic sites in Buchanan, Roanoke, Lexington, Covington and Alleghany County. Ask us about touring an historic Kanawha Canal lock on adjacent private farmland. We can arrange a private fly fishing lesson, river trip or even mountain bike rides through northern Botetourt county.
There are three bedrooms and two baths that can comfortably accommodate six (6) guests. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, Bedroom 2 has a king bed (separated into twins at your request) and Bedroom 3 has a queen bed; air mattresses are also available. The kitchen is fully equipped. An open concept design features a fireplace (gas logs) with stone chimney visible from the kitchen, dining and living rooms. There is a game room in the loft equipped with pool table, ping pong table, board games and more. The back deck has a gas grill and ample seating areas overlooking the James River.

Peaceful river cabin on the James River
We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin! The screened in porch was perfect for having a cup of coffee in the morning and ending the day there with a glass of wine. There are trails to walk on the property that our dogs loved! Highly recommend staying here!

Wonderful getaway
We stayed for 4 days and had a wonderful and relaxed time. The location was peaceful, the cabin was beautiful and the overall experience was excellent. The host is wonderful and very quick to respond to questions. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch at dark watching the fireflies. It was a perfect relaxing getaway. We hope to be able to stay again next year.

Family time! We spend one weekend yearly away together. This was an outstanding year.
This was an outstanding property. The mountains and river were beautiful. Great sunrises and sunsets. The cabin was exactly what we were hoping. Most of all, the hostess, Beth, was very welcoming at the same time understanding we were mostly interested in “chilling” out. I would recommend this to anyone.

Comfortable & quiet retreat
Beth was incredibly accommodating providing everything needed and more to have an enjoyable and quiet retreat for a small work retreat. With plenty of comfortable seating areas, open layout, and peaceful landscape, I’d recommend this listing to anyone looking to get away for a few days.

Amazing Retreat!
A couple friends and I went fishing on the upper James and rented the River's Bend cabin. What a fabulous place! The cabin was clean, spacious, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a 3-day getaway. There are beautiful views of the river from the multi-level back deck and the screened in porch overlooking the mountains was a great spot for a nap or evening cocktail. Our host Elizabeth was top notch!! She provided a wealth of information in advance, was very responsive to all of our questions, and ensured we had everything we needed. I seldom leave reviews but this experience was so good that I needed to share. Thanks Elizabeth and hope to be back in the spring!
