Who We Are
Spacious Acreage
We purchased our 81 acres in 2017 and it is located in Central Virginia. At James River Refuge, the words of Isaiah 4:6 come to life: “It will be a shelter and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.” Just as God promised His people a place of rest and covering amid life’s storms, this land is meant to be a quiet haven where hearts can breathe again, free from the weight of modern noise and hurry. These 81 acres are more than soil and trees — they are a tangible reminder that God Himself is our refuge. Here, surrounded by His creation, visitors are invited to slow down, to find shade for the soul, and to rediscover the peace that comes only from resting in His presence.
Our serene venue provides breathtaking beauty while still situated close to the metropolitan areas of Lynchburg, Appomattox, and Charlottesville. We currently provide the land only and you arrange the rest and make your dream event come true.
Elegant Tea Parties
We can provide tea parties with your photo session or just the tea party alone. Providing a warm environment with food and drink is a passion of mine and I would love the opportunity to serve you. Enjoy your tea party in a luxurious setting under a rustic pavilion by our newly constructed pool and handmade daybed swing.
Variety of Scenic Options
We have various outdoor settings for your photo session or event, including open field, forest, floral setting, or vintage barn. We are always creating new cozy spots for photo ops! No matter what kind of an outdoor setting you desire, we’ll have a spot you’ll love!
