"I took my family to the US to travel. When we got to Horse Creek Ranch, we stayed there for the entire time. Float the James is the perfect spot on earth. We really enjoyed our time there. The cabins are so cool. Everything is brand new and of high quality. The view from the porch is just amazing. And the people who run this place are the best. We floated every day with our kids. They loved playing in the water. We will be back very soon!!!"

"Fantastic people there! We enjoyed doing their two-mile float on paddleboards & tubes on Tuesday. It was so fun, we ran it twice! This section of river is very family friendly & was relaxing. We pretty much had it all to ourselves on a weekday! I HIGHLY recommend them to your family/friend group, church group, etc.!!"
