Nice place on the water, needs upkeep outside
The home was very nice, clean and well kept. Very well stocked. They owners went above and beyond in this category to make the stay nice. The outside areas of the property need some TLC/maintenance. I.E. broken/rotted deck boards around the home, paint peeling etc. But overall very nice and clean. Would stay here again.

Disappointed
While the location of the house being on the water is amazing….. the rest of the house needs updating. The furniture is also mostly outdated. The outdoor furniture looks beautiful in the photos but all of the cushions were off & the furniture was scattered & not set up. There were several pairs of shoes on the back patio which was strange. There was an odd smell in the house. We did find a bag of orange peels & rotted onions in a cabinet in the kitchen. Not sure if that was what the smell was, but it was gross. There was a small fresh blood stain on the mattress pad in one room. I wouldn’t stay here again unless they did a renovation & more thorough cleaning.

Kids xmas
We gathered as a family to celebrate Xmas. We went to Christmas town and cooked Xmas dinner. We found old rotted food in one of the cabinets that really smelled badly. A lot of the utensils were grubby looking and the stove was not very clean. The exhaust fan did not work. The setting was beautiful and the kids loved playing outdoors. It met our needs and we made do but I would suggest getting rid of all the old food in the kitchen and refrigerator..

Amazing setting
Absolutely gorgeous setting. Being able to see and enjoy the York river throughout our stay was a highlight. We really were able to just step away and relax! Lots of bed options although mattresses could use an update. Kitchen is well stocked - just keep looking if you don’t see it at first :) Towels, linens etc supplied.
