Best stay ever!
We enjoyed our stay so much. It was, hands down, the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Everything about the house, especially the bed, was so comfortable. The view was amazing. It was just the relaxing atmosphere we were looking for! The owners go above and beyond to make a stay there comfortable and welcoming. We will definitely be back again!!

You had me at the swing
We were lucky enough to rent this place for three beautiful days between two heat waves, The home is newly updated, clean and well stocked. It was very comfortable for three of us. We took advantage of access to Nomini Creek using the kayaks and life jackets generously provided with the rental. But the best spot of all was the swing hanging from a tree overlooking the creek. In the late afternoon and evening there is a wonderful breeze that comes off the water and it feels like a little slice of heaven on earth.

Wonderful Property!
The property was extremely clean and welcoming. The area was quiet and close to the water. We definitely enjoyed our stay!
This was such a lovely weekend away right on the river! We enjoyed the water access, hot tub, tree swing and beautiful yard. The entire cottage has been lovingly restored and updated; the meticulously refinished pine floors are gorgeous! Everything was immaculate and well appointed. We will certainly be back!
