We just got back after staying here in lodge 125, it was absolutely amazing! This 6 bedroom, 6…read morebathroom was really clean, quiet, and slept the 18 of us comfortably. We had a family vacation to celebrate my 60th birthday, with the 2 upper & lower screened in porches, we had different areas to fit us all. There was plenty of parking and we all loved walking down to pond and pool area just right out our cabin door. The only negative, there were a couple pillows on couch, & the back of couch where the back pillow is attached were torn & had holes in them. We took pictures on day of our arrival to show we did not do it. But with so many people renting the cabins you can expect some wear & tear. We had a fabulous time

The water shoes in the shop were a fair price. The large cabin was perfect, being close to the main cabin. I would've preferred having outlets where we slept, which was the pullout couch under the stairs.

So fun!! Not for kids on the weekends but a blast!! The big cabin was great for a large group.read more

This place has 4 wood cabins all built by "Pop". We called him papa smurf as he dropped in with a…read morebig white beard and funny personality. He was really friendly and chatted with us for 20 minutes or so. Each cabin is pretty much the same. The ground level has a nice sized bathroom, kitchen/living area with a full bed and a twin bed. Window units keep the downstairs nice and cool. Upstairs is accessed by an almost vertical staircase. Several in our group wouldn't even attempt to climb up and take a peek. My partner and I slept upstairs in the full bed. The stairs are in roughly the middle breaking the upstairs into a small maybe 8 x 9 room with a twin bed and window ac unit and a larger room with a full bed. My only complaint is that this larger area wasn't cooled well as the only ac was from the other end mostly blocked by the stairwell wall. The cabin was nice and clean. I would consider it average construction. The cabins are located several hundred feet from the river. We walked down and vegged out in the river on our first night here. We floated the James River and did have to drive over to James River Outfitter's as it's just a little far to walk. Overall, I'd definately stay here again, reasonable price, clean and secluded.

Spent the weekend at Shoalnook Cabins (Friday and Saturday night). Really enjoyed our stay. Cabins…read moreare relatively small but have everything you need. We would definitely recommend if you're looking for a quasi-rustic rural getaway. Customer service was great. Very hands-off. Spoke with the owners via telephone a couple times... exceptionally friendly. River was fairly high while we were there. Access to the river was a little tough - bank was super muddy and slippery. Use caution. We found quite a ticks on us and our equipment, so pack heavy duty bug spray. Bring your own firewood - we couldn't find much in town or around on the property. Overall, good stay. We'll be back.

Not a place for those getting away and having a fun weekend. Nowhere that I could find on their website was their list of rules unless they are buried deep. We rented two cabins for our group and I'll start with the condition. Our cabin had a wasp nest upstairs and we killed several. The air conditioners, while fairly new, are inadequate to keep the cabins cool. The other cabin had no hot water. Stairs leading up the porch are bad. Now for the rules, we managed to break them all. 1. No pets. I agree not a place for them however you better hope a stray doesn't show up or you will be blamed for having them. We were and we had none. 2.Quiet time between 10 pm and 8 am. This means you better be inside your cabin at 10 and not on the porch or at a picnic table talking. We broke this one because we were enjoying the evening and conversation with friends. We weren't loud and you couldn't hear anyone outside anyway because of the noise of the ac. 3.No driving on the grass, granted we did break this one but we went down a gravel road then followed the tree line to get to the river across the field. In our defense there was already a car there when we arrived so thought it was ok. 4. No excessive drinking. What is their definition of excessive? We were called on this one because we had a couple of beer boxes sitting on the porch after we left to canoe the river for the day. 5. This one grosses me out. We had to remake the beds EXACTLY as we found them. Makes me wonder if they change the sheets between guests. Yep, we broke this one because we stripped the sheets then put the comforter back in place. Our group will not be back, after being told all of the above we felt like little kids being reprimanded.
