Behind the main cottage there is a small cottage where the owners sometimes stay, so you may see them out and about. Your privacy will be respected but the owners are happy to chat about the property, the surrounding area, or the fun things you’ve seen in the river or the woods, that you may have questions about.

The cottage, located in the Northern Neck region of Virginia, is in a rural area but with ample restaurants, wineries, historical sites, farmer’s markets (in season) and state parks within easy driving distance.  Marinas that offer charter fishing and day trips to Tangier Island are located nearby. The cottage is approximately a 15-minute drive to Heathsville, a 20-minute drive to Reedville and a 30-minute drive to Kilmarnock.

Lovely place by the river
This is our 2nd time at this property. Very warm and cozy place, and the location is great. Me and my friends enjoyed fishing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Also the communication with the property manager is great in case you have any questions. We’ll definitely be back again!

We loved our stay here!
Had a fantastic long weekend stay. Unbeatable views of the Potomac and Chesapeake from the relaxing Adirondack chairs. Incredibly well-decorated and tons of nature to enjoy. Outstanding! Perfect getaway.

A Virginia Get Away
We had a great relaxing stay at the home. The home was as advertised and was very nice & clean. The landscaping was beautiful and the dock and bay view were very nice. We had a great stay during the week. Though our rating is 5 stars I would like to suggest the one bedroom ( adult room ) have a larger bed. It was a tight squeeze for the two adults to sleep together and we are not that big. This is the only set back that would keep us from renting this same place again next year. Overall great experience and great place to stay, very peaceful enviroment!

Quiet, lovely stay
We very much enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Very clean, loved the decor and all the rooms. We enjoyed coffee and dinner on the front porch. While most of our time was spent outdoors, we watched some TV in the gorgeous fireplace room and played cards on the back porch off the kitchen. For a family of 4 with adult children, everyone had their space. Access to kayaks, paddle board and bikes were a big plus. Fished and crabbed off the dock. (The fish and the crabs were well-fed thanks to us.) Enjoyed the sunrises and the sunsets. Owners were on site; lovely folks and very helpful. Especially notable were the river birds...eagles (!), ospreys and other varieties putting on a daily show. Loved the eagles soaring right over the top of the trees in the morning and then again at dusk. Could watch them fish on the river and return to two different nests on shore. On our last night, we were treated to quite the dragon fly show. Have never seen anything like that...it was spectacular. Thanks for a great stay!

Safety issues
All the beds were too high and difficult to get in. Beds were very uncomfortable There was no vacumn or mop to clean. Originally it said a washer dryer but not there however the owners were there and offered the use of there washer/dryer The water was overdone with softener making it feel slippery on your skin
