Cozy Retreat with Unique Charm
I was looking for a unique spot for a 2-night stay while transiting through VA and this was perfect! I was working remotely so my main criteria was the Wi-Fi, which was strong and fast (180+ Mbps), and a comfortable place from which to work; I alternated between the window counter and the couch (quite comfortable) and never felt restless.
The location makes the place feel pretty private and secluded since it's just the river and factory in front of you. I appreciated the reviewer who suggested binoculars; I really enjoyed watching the factory at work as well as the birds and turkey vultures. During my stay the factory forklifts (which I didn't realize were so big until I saw a regular one pull up next to it!) were quite active 24/7. No factory or train noise bothered me but the beeping from the forklifts did mean I had to sleep with ear plugs; however, the provided ear plugs were comfortable and worked really well! I couldn't even hear the white noise machine after I'd put them in. If you're sensitive to light and like to sleep in late you'll want to bring an eye mask.
The kid in me really got a kick out of entering and exiting the caboose through the rear door. The shower was nice and the towels were super soft. I didn't use the kitchen much beyond making oatmeal & coffee but it had everything you might need. Communication with the host was easy and fast. If in the area I'd definitely look at this property again or one of the host's other properties!
