About this property

Jackson River Retreat - Great fly fishing & close to The Homestead Resort

This cozy cottage could not be located any closer to the tailwaters of the Jackson River. The wrap around deck and screened in porch will make you feel as if you are sitting right on top of the picturesque, cold water, trout stream. An ideal destination for the pursuit of wild Virginia trout, the river also offers countless other recreational opportunities. Easy river access is perfect for rafts, kayaks and floating in inner tubes. For those looking to stay dry, the Jackson River Scenic Trail is located directly behind the cottage and offers up to 20 miles of scenic hiking and biking access on a well maintained, crushed gravel path. The cottage is situated on approximately 4 acres of land with loads of space for other outdoor and field activities.

The cottage has 3 bedrooms featuring; 1 queen, 2 twins and a full size bed, comfortably sleeping five. There are two full baths, an outdoor shower as well as a washer & dryer. The cottage is equipped with internet & cable TV, but also bring your favorite book or DVD to unplug and relax. We have new decking and porch furniture to enjoy the screen porch and dining al fresco.

We are located 14 miles from the Historic Homestead Resort, fewer than 10 miles from the Town of Covington, and less than a mile away from the Cliff View Golf Club. The Greenbrier Resort is 35 minutes away as well.

Please check this website for the Gathright Dam pulses (approximately once a month). The water rises rapidly after the water has been released.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at this home by the creek. The bed was super comfy, and the pillows! It was so peaceful and quiet, we loved driving to Homestead during the day. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Quiet. Peaceful. Relaxing.

This was a lovely spot to get away from it all and reconnect with friends. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the river during the day, and the screened porch was cozy at night. Truly a hidden piece of paradise!

Relaxing weekend

We wanted a couple days to relax and unwind from the stress of everyday life. This property was a perfect choice. The Jackson River flows within feet of the property, cooling the air and giving a place to watch wildlife. We hiked the Jackson River Trail did a little fishing. To fully enjoy the trail, I wish we would have brought our bikes. The cottage was spotless and very comfortable. The only suggestion would be to extend the check out time to 11:00 instead of 10:00. We like to enjoy a leisurely late breakfast when relaxing and the screened-in porch was perfect for that. We felt a little rushed to be out by 10:00. Thank you for sharing your lovely place.

About the host

Hosted by Nella & Jeff Timmons

We live in Richmond, Va and bought the property when our children were 9, 7 and 5. Our boys grew up on the river. Fishing, swimming, kayaking, hiking and biking were all daily activities. In the evening, after a full day of being outside, we would all relax and play various card and board games. It is a perfect place to unplug and unwind!
It has been and continues to be a favorite place for our family to get together. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This is a very peaceful location - away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. A wonderful place for the outdoor enthusiast as well as for those who just want to unplug, unwind and settle in with a book.

What makes this property unique

We are on the tail waters of the Jackson River, below Gathright Dam & Lake Moomaw. The water is a constant 58 degrees, perfect for the wild trout in the river. We have caught many Brown & Rainbow Trout. The river is perfect to jump in and cool off when it gets hot. Very refreshing!
