Wonderful time on navigable! historic inlet of the Chesapeake & corresponding cont. water - N. Neck!
This is just a lovely bay style home on an amazing body of water - where one can kayak, fish, grill, and just rest in The Lord. It is the perfect place for a pastor and medical missionaries to rest. Also great place to bring along young college age family members who all love The Lord. We had the most amazing two months here - where one can work in The Lord in active ministry. We all tackled the outdoors in every way imaginable and enjoyed weekly grilling on the deck and many a night enjoying the stars. From fishing to kayaking to so much more. (Many game nights :) - Amazing time with The Lord. Great hosts and all - all around 5 star - from communication to hospitality- thank you to our amazing host Ms. A!!! - in Christ, Romans 6:23, 3:23-25, John 3:16 - Highest recommendation :)

Fabulous place to get away
Beautiful home in a beautiful place. Right on the water with a dock great for sunning. Kitchen was bigger than my home kitchen so I enjoyed preparing food for meals. There are so many wonderful little shops to get fresh fish, Amish raised beef, chicken and eggs nearby. The beds are comfortable, home is clean and uncluttered. Great internet connection too. We’ll be back again! A real gem in the Northern Neck

Just right
The cottage is close to the water and is just right on the inside… everything you need with no wasted space! Others commented on the sleeping area- yes, all 3 beds are in the loft upstairs, but they’re enough privacy with a half wall and moveable room divider.

Fishing Vacay
We chose this property for its dock and proximity to the Bay, wanting to explore new waters. There was a nice ramp less than 20 min away. There was plenty of room to park the trailer at the property. The slip was perfect for tying up. The house was adorable and clean. The kitchen was well-stocked. The breezeway/grill area was a nice area to cook/hang out. Overall, a great little get away.
