Meet Your Host

Hi, I’m Rebecca – your host at River City Retreats!
Eight years ago, my husband and I moved to Danville and quickly fell in love with the charm of this little town. In 2021, we turned that love into a business by creating warm, thoughtfully designed short-term rentals that feel like home.

As a mom to three adventurous boys, I understand the importance of having a space that’s both cozy and family-friendly—and that’s exactly what we aim to provide. When we’re not renovating our next house, you’ll often find us biking along the Riverwalk Trail, hiking at Anglers Park, or sipping coffee at Links.

Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, traveling for work, or just looking for a quiet escape, our homes in Danville and Martinsville are designed to make your stay comfortable, memorable, and truly special. We can’t wait to welcome you!
