Walk across the street to our shared river porch, fish in the Rappahannock River or walk down the road to a shared beach and pier access where you can kayak and swim in Lancaster Creek. Separate studio/building with twin bunk and queen bed with dedicated desk and view of the tidal pond.

About the host
Hosted by Sherry Spencer
I live with my family in central Virginia where I own a wedding & event flower business. I love hiking, traveling, eating & hanging out with family, playing volleyball and snuggling with my Golden Retrievers!
Why they chose this property
We discovered this quaint cottage and were so happy we were able to purchase it, not only because we love the house, but also because the village is so sweet as well. It is a very quiet historic waterfront village with beautiful old homes, the neighbors are great, and there is a fabulous waterfront museum. Don't miss the $1 ice cream in the freezer at the pavilion - bring cash or get the Venmo details inside the museum!
What makes this property unique
We have tried to think of everything! We have tons of towels, body wash/shampoo/conditioner, extra toothpaste and brushes (just in case), noise makers, air purifier, memory foam mattresses, room darkening curtains, lots of blankets and pillows, outdoor shower, fire pit and s'mores kit! Outdoor grill, seating, bug spray and lots more!
We have shared access to a River viewing porch and another shared river access with beach and pier just 0.3 mi down the road.
