Great Family Get-away

We needed a place that was close to our in-laws, and this checked all the boxes. Bunk beds for the kids, a big backyard, great patio deck space, and a beautiful view of the river with a clean beach that was very family-friendly. The house was stocked with everything we needed, and it was an easy home to keep tidy. We would come back again for our next family visit.

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.

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.

Very nice house

The house and especially the outdoor areas were wonderful with plenty of room for our family. We especially enjoyed the beach and kayaks. The mattresses in the bunk room were not comfortable and the kitchen was too cluttered with leftover food from previous guests, but all in all, a very nice house!

Gorgeous views and very well equipped house. Lots to go outside, we unfortunately had cold and very windy weather. Would be an amazing getaway with warm weather. More seating around the tv or a tvin one of the other rooms would be nice.

Great stay on the York River!

The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. We were two families, with nine people in total and never felt crowded. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything we needed plus more! Great to have spices, condiments, tea and coffee provided! The views of the river are tremendous and there’s even a little beach area. Great location and we would consider staying there again!

It was OK

The house had an appropriate amount of space as advertised for me and my family. The backyard is quite peaceful except for the loud fishing boats in the morning (but has nothing to do with the property). There were plenty of items for our basic needs such as cooking utensils and toiletries. Unfortunately, on our arrival there were two large trash bins that were overflowing with garbage and multiple filled trash bags on the ground on front of the garage next to the walkway for the entrance from the previous guest which attracted raccoons. The trash wasn't collected until Wednesday. We did not feel safe sitting outside after dark because of the raccoons. However, the inside of the house was very neat and in order.

Remote clean property with beautiful view

Property is very remote and quiet. Extremely clean with most amenities. View of river is spectacular as is the grounds. Living room furniture not very conducive to conversation or TV watching. Two twin beds joined in one room had terrible mattresses. Decks should have hand railings, particularly the one coming from the house down to the patio, just for safety measures. Home was spotless and well equipped. Beautiful flowers and very quiet neighborhood. We loved our visit to the historic sites.

Beautiful, relaxing getaway location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location is phenomenal. Right on the water with a private beach & dock! Beautiful river views, so relaxing. And lots of outdoor seating to take it all in. Home was well stocked with extra towels, blankets, plenty of kitchenware, and most things you'd need. There's even a canoe and life vests you can use. The only small negative about this home was the bath tubs. One seemed "cleaned" but was still kind of dirty. The other one was definitely not cleaned. The rest of the house was very clean though. Overall we loved it and would definitely stay here again!
