7 Trending Rentals in Virginia That People Book on Repeat (And We See Why)

Booking a vacation in Virginia all but guarantees an incredible adventure, whether you're venturing to a big city or a small town. But accommodations do play a major part, and for this reason, scoping out a one-of-a-kind rental is always worth the time. I've recently discovered a few trending rentals that people are booking on repeat, and as you browse this list, you'll quickly see why!

1. Sunrise Mountain Escape, Fancy Gap

Imagine waking each morning to the sunrise over the mountains, then closing the day by the fire pit on an expansive deck under the stars. I can think of no better way to spend some quality time in the mountains, and this mountain cabin in Fancy Gap delivers exactly that. Sleeping four guests, this cabin features one bedroom with two beds and one full bath. The interior is renovated, offering a fresh, light-filled space that's perfect for unwinding after some time along the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is just minutes away.

2. Cabin Retreat at Stillhouse Farm, Lexington

Rockbridge County is absolutely beautiful, and for proof of this, I invite you to consider a stay at Stillhouse Farm. It's just minutes from downtown Lexington, a postcard-perfect small town surrounded by rolling hills, wide-open fields, and the mountains. Expansive picture windows let in the remarkable views around you, and you won't hear or see a single neighbor while you're here. The interior design is modern yet warm and inviting, the perfect place for some quality time with your fellow travelers. With three bedrooms, five beds, and one bath, there's enough space for up to seven guests.

3. Serenity by the Stream, Dayton

The perfect antidote to an unrelenting schedule is a chair by the creek. But don't take my word for it—consider the 450+ five-star reviews garnered by Serenity by the Stream, a mountain cabin surrounded by the woods. And not just any woods; it's bordered on three sides by the national forest. During your stay, you can enjoy the simple yet profound joys of nature, whether you're sitting creekside or enjoying the hundreds of nearby biking and hiking trails. Inside, the cabin is cozy and warm, with a traditional feel. Think: dark wood, a stone fireplace, and lots of comfy seating. The cabin can accommodate up to five guests, with two bedrooms, three beds, and one-and-a-half baths.

4. Romantic Hideaway in the Hollow, Nelson

A meticulously designed retreat nestled in the heart of Virginia's Wine Country, Romantic Hideaway in the Hollow is the studio cabin of your dreams. With one bed and bathroom, it's perfect for a solo traveler or a couple looking to completely disconnect from the world for a few days. To start, you'll be staying on a 60-acre private sanctuary, complete with a pond, water views, and wooded trails to wander. But you may not want to leave the cabin at all, considering the luxe amenities like a plush king-sized bed, wood-burning stove, an outdoor tub and shower, and warm lighting. As one recent reviewer shared, "We stayed a few nights for our anniversary, and it was just as luxurious and romantic as you would expect from a resort. I hope we get another opportunity to stay again!"

5. Stargazing Cabin, Highland County

Attention, stargazers! Ever dreamt of walking out of your front door and gazing up at the Milky Way overhead? If so, be sure to book a few nights at this breathtaking cabin in the heart of Highland County, Virginia. As shared on the listing, the area is so pristine that "at night you can reach out and touch the stars." The cabin can accommodate up to six guests, with one bedroom, two beds, and one bathroom. Other perks include a private hot tub, wood-burning stove, and the option to take a tour of the organic farm if you're interested.

6. Wellness Retreat House, King William

Stay Namu is a private wellness retreat just outside of Richmond that offers a private outdoor sauna, a cold plunge, a hot tub, and the option for a therapeutic massage. It's a truly inspired stay, every bit as beautiful as it is relaxing. The space has an intentional, organic feel that seems tailor-made for quality rest. You'll be staying in the farming community of King William County, but you won't be far from the bigger-city destinations that Richmond has to offer. The home has three bedrooms, three beds, and two baths.

7. Home in Old Town, Alexandria

Old Town Alexandria is one of the most walkable, historic towns in the state, and this 1880s townhome promises to be the perfect home base for all of your adventures. Plus, it's stunning inside. Completely renovated to include every modern convenience you could dream of, the space also retains its original charm. And you'll love the easy walk to the waterfront, countless restaurants, plus the option to explore the nation's capital. The private townhome measures 1,800 square feet and can accommodate up to six guests, with three bedrooms, three beds, and two baths.
