Our home is nestled in a lovely wooded neighborhood, in a quiet cul de sac. We have a spacious 4 bedroom home with chickens in the backyard (you're welcome to fresh eggs...)! Not far away (15-20 min) is the vibrant, artsy and historic city of Richmond with the James River winding through it.
We are also close to a library (ten. minute walk) and a neighborhood playground. There is a nearby park (about ten min. drive) with a large playground, trails, and a pond as well as basketball courts and baseball fields.
About a ten minute drive in the other direction is a major shopping corridor with a shopping mall and big box stores, etc. We feel very happy here and find that it meets our family's needs quite well! We would just love to explore other cities and places sometimes :-)
The space
There is ample play space in the backyard, including a playhouse, a sandbox and woods you can explore behind that. We also have a ninja line in our side yard.
The master bedroom and three childrens' rooms are loacted upstairs. We have a queen bed in the master, a full bed in one of the kids' rooms and twins in the other two. There are lots of toys for your use! If you'd prefer a more adult space, we are happy to stow away toys during your stay (but the decor in the kids room can't quite grow up that quickly:-)
Guest access
Two floors. One set of stairs between up and down. A garage located off the kitchen with no stairs between. There is a deck located behind the house with a half staircase down to the backyard.

Hello! We are a family of five. I am a teacher and my husband works in science. We have three daughters ages 6, 8 and 11 and are interested in showing them the world without breaking the bank! We live in a very family friendly neighborhood with playgrounds, a library within walking distance, and many beautiful parks. Richmond is an increasingly cultural, foodie and artsy city. Come stay here!
