About this property

Aylett River Paradise: A whimsical gem designed to harmonize with nature.

Spend a week nestled at the edge of the beautiful Mattaponi. Use the kayaks or nap on the screened porch made of trees. The ceiling fans should keep you cool or go inside to the air conditioning and hang out in the downstairs lounge with the cherry wood panels and big screen satellite TV,, and TONS of board games. The newly remodeled kitchen is ready to go. Just bring food. 2 of the 3 bedrooms have satellite TV . Soaps, Linens, towels some condiments and coffee sometimes espresso are supplied. The upstairs bedroom has its own lounge and ruby powder room. There are 2 picnic tables. One on the screened porch and one in the Emerald Moss Garden. Most pets are welcome. See most current pictures on instagram aylett_river_paradise. Please note I no longer provide firewood so you have to bring your own. A note about the river: it is tidal . Which means it goes up and down, usually depending on water coming down from Fredericksburg. Also it is not at all brackish! Lovely and fresh and silky and soft. I continuously monitor the river height remotely to be sure you’re going to be safe.
