Frank was an amazing host. The house was beautiful. Even better in person. There was more than enough room for 5 adults and 4 kids. We enjoyed the beach, SUPs, amazing deck views and nightly dips in the hot tub. We enjoyed the local restaurants and had plenty of room to have a few large family dinners. Can't wait to book for next year!!

We had a great stay as a family of 14 – heavily utilized the kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, and hot tub. Well stocked and well thought out for needs of a big group. Frank was extremely responsive and communicative, which we appreciated greatly. Montross itself does not have much to do, but we took 60-90 minute trips to No Limits Skydiving, a movie theater, and Kings Dominion - but mostly just enjoyed time by and on the water. Would definitely recommend the house and the host!

Gorgeous location with views to match. House was spacious and accommodated our group of 13 easily. Weather wasn’t great so we appreciated the comfy furniture and all the different places to sit and either read or plays games which we did a lot of. When the weather permitted we enjoyed sitting on the deck enjoying the peace that comes with being near water. A few of us braved kayaking and paddle boarding and some of us swam. The beach is perfect for all sorts of fun and sunbathing. The kitchen was stocked with the basics and more. Beds were all comfortable with plenty of pillows. Highlight was the swivel round couch which was perfect for reading, napping, tv watching. We definitely want to comeBack when the weather is warmer. This is the perfect river getaway!!

We had a fantastic time at the beautiful River House. It was the perfect getaway from our busy surroundings, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We enjoyed playing pool, swimming in the river, fishing, and exploring the beach for unique rocks and shells. While the nearest restaurants and grocery store are a short drive away, every meal we had at the local restaurants was absolutely delicious!

My family had a wonderful time at this amazing property! The house was spacious and worked well with our four families coming together. The kids had a great time playing in the river, fishing from the dock, and playing games in the house. The adults loved many things, but especially sitting in the crows nest or on the deck in the hot tub overlooking the river with a drink and a good book. We mostly cooked our own food and the kitchen had all the necessities. We made good use of the bikes, SUPs, kayaks, and some yard games that were in the garage. And getting to watch some World Cup on the giant TV in the living room was icing on the cake. All in all, we were thrilled with the space. A big thanks to our host, Frank, who a timely communicator and went above and beyond. He stopped by twice during our stay—once to clean the hot tub and once to make some planned repairs. While he was there, he also took care of a few minor things we pointed out, all with minimal disturbance to our day. He’s a nice guy with a great attitude! A big thanks to him for a great week.

Great home for relaxing vacation

We enjoyed tremendously. Lots of activities and room to keep busy at house for entire family. Other than eating out on two occasions, we stayed at house for the week. Jellyfish kept us out of water so enjoyed the pool, hot tub and kayaks on the water. Fishing and crabbing were fun for the kids. We enjoyed the vacation tremendously!

This home was VERY clean, well-maintained, and spacious. Beautiful view of (and access to) the river. Great spot to unwind! We were disappointed at the amount of jellyfish in the water, but nothing to be done about that- glad we had a hot tub and access to the community pool. Also wonderful communication from host.

We had such a wonderful family vacation! The house is beautiful - spacious and accommodating. We had a lot of fun making family meals in the amazing kitchen. We loved all of the water sports - kayaks, SUPs, floats - but the kids (and adults!) loved jumping off the dock the most. Frank was super responsive and just a nice guy. We had a great time and hope to visit again.
