When you want to get away from everything Magnolia shores 2 acres of tranquility
Looking for the that special SUMMER VACATION. A place where you can enjoy time with family and friends. Magnolia Shores is calling you down to the Rivah. Close to home but a world away. This year we are offering a newly paved driveway with Pickle Ball court, with two homes separated by a newly installed outdoor pool.
"Magnolia Shores" is comprised of two pristine waterfront homes that you'll have all to yourself. The homes are located on Back Creek near the historic town of Reedville, Virginia. From the upper deck of the two-story home, you can see the Little Wicomico River, which empties into the Chesapeake Bay.
When you're ready to come inside and relax. Each beautiful, appointed home offers four bedrooms and three baths. In house #1, three bedrooms and two baths are located in the upstairs living area. Downstairs you will find a fourth walk-out bedroom and bath. The downstairs game room includes a pool table, dart board and an air hockey game room. Outdoor games and equipment are located in the equipment room. House #2 has all living areas located on one floor. Enjoy your morning coffee on one of the decks and watch the wildlife in the tidal area. You'll spend the day creating memories as you, crab and fish off a private dock. Bring your own equipment or use ours. There are two paddleboards, two kayaks, two child kayaks and a canoe available. Imagine paddle boarding the quiet coves of Back Creek or kayaking the Little Wicomico River when the water is as still as glass. You can also bring your own boat or take a local charter and enjoy the splendor of the bay.
Magnolia Shores has two fully stocked kitchens, and you can also enjoy cooking and dining outside. Dining tables, and propane grills are available for fresh-air meals. After a long day on the water, enjoy the sunset with family, friends and a cocktail on the dock. As the sun sets and stars appear, gather around the fire pit. Remember what it is like to roast marshmallows and view the brilliant night sky, unspoiled by city lights.
Whether you are outside enjoying the yard games and the water or inside enjoying board games and modern comfort, there are activities for all. You'll also love taking the time to explore numerous local restaurants, attractions, historic sites and parks that can be found in Northumberland County. Let Magnolia Shores and the gorgeous surrounding area be your home away from home. Take the opportunity to reserve Magnolia Shores for a family reunion or a gathering of friends that you have meant to arrange but could never find the right place. Magnolia shores is waiting for you.

Had a great time. Already booked for next year! Had everything needed for a wonderful week with lots of different activities and fun. Thank you Tom snd Lori!
This property served our needs very well. We had people aged 6 months to almost 91 years old and everybody enjoyed themselves. Plenty of space to be together or slip away for a nap. The owners were available and helpful whenever they were needed (not to mention friendly and generous with their hospitality - allowing us to pick some garden produce!). Highly recommend.

Magnolia is a beautiful property for a multi-generational getaway. The river is at your back door and the pool is a great addition to the property to cool off after spending hours in the river.

Dear Brian,
Thank you for choosing Magnolia Shores for your getaway destination and thank you for the lovely review. It was wonderful watching your family enjoy the gifts that the good Lord has given us. Please come back and visit us again soon. Until then,
Tom and Lori Ashwell
This place was perfect for our family vacation. It was so secluded! The views were amazing, the pool was perfect, and the house was clean and exactly as described. Lori was so sweet and was available for any questions! There are tons of games and outside things to do and we caught plenty of fish and crabs off the dock. The one day that was rainy we took a little trip to the compass complex to do a ropes course, arcade and wall climbing with the kids. There is also a movie theater there with deals on Tuesdays. I don’t recommend the restaurant there as the food was just ok.
The owners were very accommodating and helpful with different things that came up while we were there. They let us use the crab pots and we had a feast by the end of the week. Overall very happy with our stay.
We had a great stay. The home was spacious for our large group. The house had so much to do. We especially enjoyed the pool. We also enjoyed the kayaks and conoes as well as the yard games. The hummingbirds were a treat!
My family had a wonderful time here! There was plenty of space to accommodate all 9 of us. Loved the view, having access to kayaks, paddle boards and of course the pool. Lori and Tom were great. Responded promptly to any questions we had and an overall sweet couple/hosts.

This was our second year vacationing at this property. The Owner does a good job...very responsive. Plenty of pool toys, grills, cooking utensils for all grills, a crab pot. Crabbing is great. Many fun inside games (our week was very hot). Takes care of pool and trash daily. Always upgrading the property. Enabled our multi-generational family to reconnect. It's great. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure to see your family enjoy the treasures
Of The Northern Neck.We hope you will come back again next year. I am sure we will have some changes that you will enjoy Until then,
Tom and Lori
The property was the perfect fit for our 12 person extended family. The eight bedrooms spread over 2 adjacent properties with a amazing swimming pool between the two houses provided our family enough room for everyone. We enjoyed crab picking and canoeing. The secluded location is perfect for a family wanting to get away from it all.
My family and I had a great week at Magnolia Shores. Tom and Lori were very helpful and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The house was spotless and had plenty to keep all ages busy. The use of kayaks, canoe, and the dock were great, and the pool was amazing!

Magnolia Shores was just the relaxing vacation we were looking for.
Loved the pool, fresh crabs and use of the kayaks. This was a great place to kick back and relax. The house was clean and well stocked. Views from the deck were peaceful. The kids enjoyed the outdoor games and the pool table. The crab traps were a nice touch and had the freshest crabs I have every ate. Lori the owner was very helpful.
We had an amazing time. The houses were beautiful and clean. The pool was so relaxing. Went kayaking and canoeing for the first time and had a blast. Caught so many crabs we took over 3 Dozen home after eating them for a night. Lori and Tom are amazing people and everyone had such a great time we are planning on coming back again and again.

Very relaxing. Quiet cove was a perfect spot to keep our boat for day excursions on the bay. The dock was well built and the water was deep enough to safely enter end exit. The view from the upper deck was great and there were fans overhead and shades to help with the hot evenings.

Thank you so much for the lovely review. Please come back and see us soon. Lori
The home and location are beautiful. We loved reading on the dock and swimming in the heated pool. The hosts live next door and are very hands on. They came over to check on us when we sent a question about check out. We had a great time and hope to be back soon! Note - the pool does not have a fence so might not be the best spot for families with toddlers

Dear Hannah,
Thank you for he review and I hope you will return. . You are right about toddlers and we will be putting the fence up this weekend. Thank you again for choosing Magnolia Shores. Until then,
Tom and Lori Ashwell
Our whole family loved our time recharging away from the business of our every day. We were able to relax, recharge and enjoy time together. The house had everything we needed to enjoy time in the water (pool & kayak/canoe accessories, etc.). The yard was filled with actives for all ages. Plenty of space for all of us. Our hosts welcomed us in and made sure everything was as needed.
Our large extended family just returned from a wonderful stay at this property! The houses were clean, well stocked, and very spacious! We enjoyed fishing from the dock, using the canoes and kayaks and the pool! There were plenty of pool, outdoor games and life vests for everyone included.
Lori and Tom were very communicative and helpful during our stay. Lori came each morning to clean the pool, and most of us were still sleeping and it did not interrupt us in the least.
We look forward to returning again!
This property was exactly what my husband and I wanted. Peace and quiet on the water. The house is lovely. The linens and towels are fantastic. Lori met us when we pulled in the driveway. She is friendly and accessible but we didn't need anything. Everything was in the house and she even made brownies for us.

Dear Nancy, thank you so much for the lovely review. We enjoyed having you and your husband as our guest at Magnolia Shores. We hope you can return and see what summer is like here on the river. Until then, Tom and Lori
Property on quiet river, beautiful views. Caught enough crabs to enjoy two times for those who are patient enough to pick. Kitchen well stocked. Pool toys, chairs, lounges aplenty. Beds comfortable. Paddleboards, canoes, etc. enough for all to enjoy. Two homes worked well for our multi-age family. Game room an extra plus. TVs in most BR. Come and enjoy.

Thank you for the wonderful review, look forward to seeing you next year. Tom and Lori
Magnolia Shores is the perfect place to stay if you're looking to relax from life's stresses. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly greeted and assured that this home was our home for the week. This beautiful house, immaculate throughout, came with all the amenities to gratify everyone in our party. There are plenty of water activities to choose from. One of greatest features of this property is the ability to go crabbing from the pier, and trust me, the catch is plentiful. If you're looking for a relaxing vacation, Magnolia Shores will not disappoint.
The property was lovely and looked as advertised in the pictures. The kitchen was beautiful and well appointed with spices and cooking utensils. The hosts even left me a sweet treat which came in handy since I arrived late. About arriving late, it was dark! Mike gave me excellent directions, left the light on, and stayed on the phone with me to make sure I arrived safely. Mike & Lori were great hosts with a lovely home!! I'd stay here again for sure!
