Description
Spacious porches and large private rooms provide peaceful views of wooded river bluffs and pastures. After a day of writing enjoy sitting on the porches, sipping wine as you watch deer browse among the fruit trees.
Our mission is to provide writers and artists uninterrupted time in a unique historical space within an environment of natural beauty.

When the muse needs a break, there are many outdoor activities and cultural destinations. The Porches is a pleasant drive from the home of 4 US presidents, including Jefferson’s fascinating Monticello. Across the river, The James River State Park provides canoeing, tubing, kyaking on the James River. Twenty-five minutes away are the Blue Ridge mountains and Appalachian hiking trails, Crab Tree Falls, and Wintergreen ski resort. The local award-winning wineries offer tours and tastings.
