Beautiful Peaceful Location

This property is a wonderful place to stay if looking for beautiful sun rises and sunsets, beautiful views, and quiet, peaceful surroundings. The home was spacious and wonderful. We loved the central room, containing a spacious kitchen, dining room, and living room (open floor plan). This room allowed everyone to be together and enjoy home cooked meals and lively conversation. We spent a lot of time on the porch overlooking the river, barbecuing, and spending quality family time together.

Quiet, peaceful cottage

Spacious home was ideal for a 2 family getaway. Place was clean and the main living area was large and spacious. Owners were very responsive. Having a large bowl of water on the back porch was very welcoming for our dog. The lot itself was very large giving you a lot of privacy. The screened in back porch was great for bug free dining outdoors. Hated to leave.

river relaxing

The house has a good layout and is very comfortable. The location is fairly rural which we like, but not too far to a grocery store. We caught blue catfish off the dock, went kayaking, and enjoyed watching the osprey and eagles. The yard is very big and we enjoyed playing cornhole and throwing the baseball. We would rent this house again.

Relaxing at the “rivah”!

It’s easy to relax at the river cottage. My favorite “thing” was watching sunrise from the porch, which was recently screened in, and listening to the birds greet the morning. So tranquil! There’s a nice Food Lion close by, as well as various restaurants. Thanks, John & Paige!

Beautiful Waterfront Cottage with all the Feels.

Great well stocked river cottage. Love the stay here with family. Gorgeous views of the river and huge lot. The fact it was dog friendly was a huge plus. Only negative was having to take our own trash to the dump. Luckily a family member had a truck, or we would have been out of luck.

Wonderful views of the Rappahannock River! The home was open, bright and clean. The single story house makes it easy for grandparents to get around and to keep an eye on little ones. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this property for a river vacation.
