Wonderful home away from home in RVA
We had a fantastic here while in Richmond for my son's wedding. The location was convenient to all of our events downtown and in nearby areas.The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully stocked with everything we needed. When we had a couple of small questions during our stay, Matt was quick to respond and incredibly helpful.This is a wonderful place to stay in Richmond, and we would absolutely book again.

Weekend in Richmond with Friends in Dogtown
For being a place with no reviews and us being the 1st guests in the house, not gonna lie my group was a little hesitant, but this place was simply perfect. Everything was done right. Perfect for a family get away with a bunk bed room, or a friend group that has a little friend for the top bunk. Unfortunately we were only in Richmond for 2 nights so we didn’t get to use all the features that were given to us. If you need a place to stay in Richmond or any surrounding areas, Dogtown is your place!
