Privat strand! Hytte ved høye bredder av James River
Etter en morsom kjøretur nedover en buet skogflankert vei dukker du ut i sollyset med ekspansive felt på hver side av deg. Du svinger til venstre ned en grussti som tar deg ved et gammelt våningshus. Du dogleg rundt et annet felt og kommer inn i skogen på en grusvei. Når du kommer til porten, går du ut. Gjennom trærne kan du vagt se James River-vidden, og du kan høre lyden av en lett bris mens den velter midt i bladene. Tilbake i kjøretøyet styrer du til høyre, rundt innkjørslingssløyfen og merker at du er på toppen av en bakke som faller dypt ned i en flott skogkledd kløft på hver side.
Rett foran deg er hytta som ligger på spissen av halvøya omgitt av utsikt over elven. Du stenger av kjøretøyet og trer utenfor. Det er ikke et annet hjem eller en person i sikte. NÅ .... Du er offisielt på ferie. Du rusler ned den brune rullesteinsstien og forbi skuret som ble bygget av guttespeidere på begynnelsen av 1900-tallet. Brisen fra elven føles sterkere nå, og du kan se detaljene i vannet og den hvite sandstranden nedenfor.
Akkurat når du går inn på inngangsdekket, legger du merke til to voksne skallete ørner som svever over stranden og leter etter byttedyr. Du behøvde ikke slå opp for å se dem de var i øyehøyde med deg. Du er 70 'over elven og det omliggende skogbunnen. Opplevelsen er som å være i et trehus; Riktignok et trehus med en 4 mål stor hage og parkering for 20. Brisen er høy i trærne nå og gir deg en følelse av å bli pledd av naturen.
Du vrir på knotten og er inne. Når du ser deg rundt, er det ikke noe fancy, men alt er spesielt og på en eller annen måte trøstende. Håndlagde kunst og håndverk, Americana, bøker og møbler du bare kunne finne i en hytte som har vært en arv fra familien i flere generasjoner. Du vil bosette deg, men når du ser ut av vinduet ser du en innbydende sti som slynger seg nedover bakken og forsvinner ut i skogen. Du tenker, “Jeg vedder på at det fører til elven”, og med det er du utenfor døren på ditt første av mange eventyr.
Denne hytta ligger i nærheten av fornøyelsesparker og på stranden i Spring Grove. Er par populære landemerker er Jamestown Settlement (levende- historie museum) og Historic Jamestowne, og hvis det er shopping som står på planen, kan du ta turen til Merchants Square og Williamsburg Premium Outlets. Er du på utkikk etter et arrangement eller en kamp mens du er i byen, kan du se om det skjer noe spennende på Busch Tennis Courts eller Kaplan Arena. Vannscooterkjøring og kajakkpadling er blant de aktivitetene du kan bli med på her. Du kan dessuten oppleve naturen i området gjennom jakt og økoturer. Se vår reiseguide til Spring Grove

We return to this pet friendly, secluded spot every year! It’s the best escape and disconnect if you’re looking to relax and clear your mind! Highly recommend Surry Seafood for a nice dinner out (about 12-15min from the house), but recommend bringing groceries, because you truly won’t want to leave once you arrive. We already look forward to our stay next year!
Beautiful updated cottage, love the seclusion. There is plenty to do at the house without TV or Internet. Love the private beach. This was our second stay. Will continue to go back.
Jeff's place is absolutely stunning! It's cleaner than places that don't allow dogs and is very well furnished. At the time we stayed there was no internet or television but seriously, you won't miss those. When you drive in you're not just pulling up from the road into a driveway, you're driving onto a small resort - through a gate that's well off the main road, past what looked like a boat house, around a roundabout, past a pole shed (game house), through a larger parking lot into the smaller lot in front of the house. The beach front is more than large enough, I think 500 ft, but because of the shape of the coast line and the distance to the surrounding neighbor's piers you visually have hundreds of yards. Unlike many places whose photos hide houses just outside of the shot, you won't see the neighbors, not by a long shot. But knowing they are there is good - waved at a couple during our walks off the property (the only time in the week we were there that we left the property). A good stay, I can't say enough!
Just the perfect retreat! The house was delightful, comfortable and well appointed. We loved how secluded the property was and having a private beach to explore was fantastic. Our dogs loved the woods and playing on the river!The owner was so nice, easy to communicate with and gave excellent tips to make our stay even more memorable. We highly recommend a stay at Analog and hope to book again sometime.
Wonderful James River House, nicely appointed, wonderful views.
We were at "Analog" for the long Thanksgiving weekend. The fall leaves and river view were stunning. House stayed warm and cozy, and we fixed a complete Thanksgiving meal in the very well appointed kitchen, including pie pans and platters and attractive dinnerware.
Not too hard to take the 24-hr/7 day free ferry that runs every 20 minutes over to see sights in the historic triangle. We were very happy we chose this remote-feeling scenic location vs. the rather Disney-ish condos closer to Williamsburg. We did visit Jamestown, Williamsburg, taverns and craftspersons, folk museum and the Yorktown battlefield. Great brush up on early American history.
Host checked in every day by text, just to make sure everything was running smoothly and to offer a hint or two. Very responsive but not intrusive.
We had a wonderful time and felt comfortable in the clean and tidy home.
I stayed here while out of town for 30 days on night shift. This place was amazingly quiet during the day to get some rest. My family joined me twice while here and the children enjoyed every aspect of this place. The river front is a beautiful place to go collect sea shells and enjoy the sunrise with a coffee. Not having internet or TV for 30 days was like a reset for the soul. The kitchen is extremely accommodating, you can cook whatever you like in there.The host has was great, easy to communicate with and very respectful. I appreciate and respect all they have done with this place and I would definitely stay here again.thank you to the host for building a wonderful getaway!
The Analog house was a little slice of heaven. You can tell that every detail of the property was set with care and intention. The home was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything that you need and more. The outdoor space was beautifully manicured and the best part was the private beach. Enjoying the sunset from there was magical. Would definitely go back.
As we first read the description and reviews, it all sounded a little too good to be true. But true it is. This place is special- every detail, inside and out, has been thoughtfully put together to make the stay comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable. Though not a big house, it is well laid out and your living area extends across the property into the woods and down to the beach, with outdoor kitchen/seating, ninja course, game area, a bench in just the right spot for a break and a view, hammocks, beach chairs, boats (all well lit). There is such a zen balance to the home and property. Inside, the kitchen not only has everything you may need but the appliances and cooking tools are all quality. Books and games in every nook and cranny. Somehow this place was kept very clean, even though it’s set smack in the middle of what feels like a nature preserve. We saw so much wildlife and found cool fossils (thanks for the tips, Jeff!). And communication, like everything else, was just right. Enough to feel supported but also, unobtrusive. Can’t say enough positive things, and suspect we will be back. Things to know: bring groceries with you (the closest town has limited options); the steps to/from the beach may be steep/rugged for those with mobility issues; and the ferry over the river was fun and easy but plan ahead for time, if you’re heading to Jamestown Williamsburg. Our younger kid, our teen, our dog, and my husband and I all loved this spot!
The listing is as described and pictured. The hosts were kind and attentive when needed. Yes there is a hike uphill from the beach. But there is a lovely bench to rest on your way up. My only “qualm” is the need to leave the home as you close to as you found it. I only say that because I spent an hour and a half wiping down, stripping beds and vacuuming the entire house to rid of any traces of dog hair. Hard with an Australian shepherd. Lol. Over all, this home is a gem. Great family history to learn about. We loved looking through the cook book! We saved “took pics” of some of the recipes.
We loved the analog house! It is like having your own private sanctuary in the woods. The house was perfect for me and my husband and our two dogs. The kitchen is amazing and very well appointed. You really do have your own private beach front. We went kayaking, which was so nice and collected a bunch of shells. The sunsets on the beach every night were incredible. We will love this place and will definitely be back.
Words cannot describe the absolute serenity that this property offers. Jeff was amazing in all aspects of the communication and check in. The house was perfect and far exceeded expectations, and the property checked every box. The owners pride and attention to detail is unparalleled and show is all aspects of the property. We have traveled to many places and this is by far the absolute best. There is nothing that we wanted or needed while there and loved the solitude. We can’t wait to return soon with our 3 boys.
You won’t be disappointed and the peace and refresh you leave with is like nothing else!
Good for the soul!! Loved the quiet and that there were no other souls in sight!
We truly enjoyed every second that we spent here. Our 9 and 12 year old kids were even sad to leave. They were so skeptical about spending a week without a TV or screetime, but there was never a dull moment. They spent time on the beach, doing the ninja warrior course, playing games outdoors, and my son even kayaked for a bit despite it being quite chilly during our stay. One night we used the firepit and had hot dogs and s'mores. Indoors, there were endless options of books and games. There is a stereo system with "disco lights" that we used to have an impromptu pj dance party The last night we were there. The kitchen had absolutely everything you could think of to cook with. And my husband loved the kitchen design so much that he now wants to renovate ours at home! We spent some time across the river in Williamsburg. The ferry was a fun novelty experience for the kids and very convenient. Some may not like the 20 minute ride, but it fit right in with the casual easy going nature of our trip. We definitely want to plan another stay.
We loved our stay at the Analog house. It’s really a gorgeous property on totally secluded land overlooking the James river. The house was very clean and well appointed. In particular, the kitchen is really great. Lots of VRBOs have just the bare minimum in the kitchen but the Analog house is fully equipped, so you can get as elaborate with your meals as you want. The house has amazing views of the river and the large family room is a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
This is absolute dog heaven too. Our dog was able to roam the well fenced property and swim to her heart’s content.
It super quiet there as well. You cannot see or hear anyone from the neighbors’ property. There is no road traffic noise either.
I used the house for daily cycling excursions. It’s about a nine mile ride to the ferry and then you can connect up with some amazing routes on the other side of the James (eg the Capital Trail and Colonial Parkway). Stop by Spoke&Art just outside of Jamestown for some really good bike route info (also great coffee and pastries).
The host (Jeff) was great. Excellent communicator, made everything easy for us.
All in all, a great place. It’s awesome when an VRBO over-delivers and Analog House certainly does!
Magical! My first ever review and kinda don’t want to share the news about this amazing location. Everything, and I mean everything, is catered for here! The cabin is modern, gorgeous, fully stocked with everything you could dream up and then there’s the location itself, oh and the views!! Totally private with not another house in sight. We will be back here many times in the future.
We had an amazing stay. There are a variety of things to do here, but the weather was chilly, so we stayed inside and cooked and played games that were available in the house. I think my favorite part was sitting by the firepit overlooking the river. Absolutely beautiful.
The River House was way beyond our expectations. We came to Virginia from upstate NY to attend a wedding. We only stayed for 2 days. The house was beautiful and clean. The beach was gorgeous. We found lots of seashells and pretty colored rocks. We played games and laughed so hard. We will hopefully be returning to the River House.Thanks again to the Sadler family for sharing such a nice place with us.
Had an absolutely fantastic stay following a recent storm, only far too short, at Analog. We are a retired couple and had our 4-year old grandson and house pooch with us. Needless to say, we did not have any trouble disconnecting. Loved the privacy, high end finishes with the remodel, and amenities the home had to offer. We enjoyed hiking up & down to the secluded beach, wading in the water looking for fossils and sharks teeth & doing a whole lotta nothing. During the evenings, our grandson kept busy building with the Lego’s & classic toys. Jeffrey was very attentive, quick to respond to our questions, and sharing information about the family home and area. Cannot wait to return.
Our family has been here two years in a row. We love the location and private river access. Everything is there that you need for a relaxing, comfortable, and “analog” stay. My wife and I did both have to do some work while there and had no issues using our phones as hotspots. You can’t beat the views! We’ll
Be back!
This was our second time staying at the James River House. We had been looking forward to our trip all year and it did not disappoint! The perfect place to get away from it all, enjoy the beauty of nature and reconnect with each other. Our 13 and 15 year olds loved swimming, fishing, looking for shells, fossils, and shark teeth. We spent so much time on the water, and even had the opportunity to see a large group of dolphins swim by us, while we were in the water! We even love taking trips on the ferry to check out other areas. The renovations to the house this year are gorgeous, it felt like staying in a resort in the middle of the woods! We recommend the James River house for any family looking for a relaxing time in a beautiful setting and unplugging from everything for a bit:)
This is our second stay at Analog. Just as before, love the house, the nature around it, the beautiful quiet and the peace of the place. And we LOVE the "analog" aspect of it - it forces us back to the normal life before everything went digital! Definitely one of our top places to visit.
