Peaceful
Our family had an awesome 5 days at the Isle of Rest. It was nice to read the historical information about the property in a binder that was set up for guests. The house is extremely spacious. Plenty of room for all. The property and pond were well maintained and beautiful. The back screened porch was lovely to sit out on in the evenings and during the rain we had while there. Will definitely go back.

Quiet. Peaceful. Elegant.
We needed a retreat during a stressful week. Isle of Rest felt like home. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have stayed in such a welcoming place and thank you Adam for being the perfect host.

Perfect getaway
We were looking for a place to get away from it all for a few days, just the three of us and our dog. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. The house is historic, beautiful, clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The A/C and wifi were fantastic. Overall, the grounds are lovely. We spent a lot of time at the pond fishing (catch & release), hanging out with the ducks, kayaking, watching deer from the front porch, reading in the multiple hammocks, making s'mores, and playing darts on the back porch. We brought our groceries and prepared all of our food at the house. Everything we needed was there (big bonus was the crockpot for BBQ pulled chicken). We had a fantastic time and plan to come back.

I'm so glad you had a wonderful time at the farmhouse. Please come back for another visit soon...maybe in the fall when a roaring fire in the living room fireplace adds to the ambiance. 😊� Thanks, Adam

Beautiful estate
Beautiful home on private estate. Lots of interesting history. Owner was very accommodating. Sent a text to make sure we found the house and had everything we needed the first night. Was very open to make sure we were comfortable, which we were. We will come back for a longer stay.

I'm so glad you all had a great time. The fall and winter are beautiful at the farmhouse too, and you have the benefit of having cozy fires in the house, or out at the fire pit. Several renters have enjoyed Thanksgiving or Christmas in the country. Please do come again! Thanks, Adam

Wonderful
We had a wonderful time and loved the house and property. I would definitely recommend this property. We all wish we could have stayed longer. The only negative was a lack of a toaster in the kitchen. We loved our time there. Thank you Adam!

I'm so glad you and your family had a wonderful time at the farm house. I just threw out my old toaster and did not have time to get a new one before your visit. It's on my "to do" list. I would love to have you all come back for another visit. The fall is beautiful in southern Virginia and several guests have enjoyed Christmas at the farm house. Come again! Thanks, Adam

Returned to Isle of Rest and loved it again!
We visited a few years ago and returned this year. We all had a great time. Highly recommend this property. One great perk: very good air conditioning in the house!

Wonderful Experience
The house is gorgeous with comfortable beds. The air conditioning worked great, despite the heat wave. The pond and the resident ducks made afternoons lovely. You can see all the stars and the Milky Way from the front porch. Overall, this was a wonderful property for a gathering away from the city.

Beautiful property with so much history!
I rented this house to share with family during a 60th birthday celebration for my mom! We all loved the place! It's tucked away in a nice, private secluded area. It's only a few min from the lake & very close to Tanglewood Shores, which is why I decided to rent it. The only drawback is the one full bathroom but we made it work! Enjoyed the views & even hopped in the kayaks in the pond!

Absolutely Amazing!!!!!
This was one of the best trips my family has ever had. The homestead was beautiful. It was a very relaxing family oriented trip filled with fishing, kayaking water fights and lots of laughing. Adam, the owner was super sweet and accommodating. We cannot wait to visit again!

Thanksgiving At The Farm
My family and I spent the week of Thanksgiving at "the farm". We could not have selected a better location for our family celebration. Our ages ranged from 75 to 2 and there was something for all of us to do if we so chose. Three of our granddaughters enjoyed kayaking on the gorgeous pond closely supervised by two resident ducks who welcomed having a little company. The perfect weather kept us outside most of the time during the day and early evening. We played corn hole, softball, rode on our four wheeler, fished/catch and release of course; and the wonderful fire pit that everyone gathered around early evening for "toast the sunset" time, making s'mores, and happy conversations. The front porch swing was so inviting and we enjoyed having a little quiet time to read and relax. The inside of the house is quite spacious and accommodated our family very nicely. Everyone had a comfy bed and slept so good every night. This beautiful plantation home is beautifully restored and takes one back in time....(if you're old enough to relate to "golden" times:) The living room was inviting and each evening we sat by the fire and played games, read, played the cherished piano, and reminisced about our good ole days. Thanksgiving Day we enjoyed a hearty feast and the dining room table is large enough to accommodate our crew. This was so much fun! May I recommend this lovely VRBO rental for any family/friend event. Having 25 acres to roam was the icing on the cake.

Plantation stay
We stayed 3 nights. Lovely surroundings. The duck pond and deer sightings were a plus. The owner was great and was available if needed.
