The Lake House

Enjoy nature in this lakefront 3 bed/1.5 bath retreat. This house is set off the road in a very serene and rural area, yet you are only a short drive away from many conveniences. Less than 5mi from Downtown Farmville, restaurants, GreenFront, and Longwood University. About a 20 min to Hampden Sydney. This is the perfect place to disconnect from the outside world and relax dockside. *Please read all details below - esp about not good cell service and currently no WIFI (but we're working on it).

Edifice Rex

Edifice Rex, a 300 square foot studio apartment, is only one mile and less than 2 minutes from Interstate 81 yet offers a very bucolic, peaceful setting. Countless cultural, historical and recreational opportunities exist within a 30 mile radius. The James River and Appalachian Trail are but minutes away. The name, "Edifice Rex" is to honor the caretaker on the property, a German Shepard named Rex. You will not have to interact with him ( he wears a radio collar) but he welcomes attention.

Warm, Cozy and Comfortable Houseboat, Gated Marina

Note: Dates taken? I have two other boats online-- The Cookie B and also--Beautiful Yacht, River Views. We offer no contact boarding if desired and we understand the need for a clean place to stay. Therefore we go beyond the recommended guidelines concerning sanitation by fogging the entire boat after each guests departure. And for dining, you can cook aboard or enjoy the Lily Pad Cafe, an outdoor covered and heated restaurant on the river, and it is only two miles from the marina.
